I am not a skeptic. I consider myself a believer – in most things. I believe life exists on other planets; I jump at strange sounds after watching a horror movie, call upon all the Gods I can remember (when I’m in trouble). So I do have faith. And I guess that’s what religion is also about right? So in a country where a sport has a following of epic proportions, and where its players can rival any “spiritual guru” out there – I am not surprised that the recent IPL scams have put to test the faith of millions around the country – mine included. While I failed, there are so many who continued to believe. And I guess that’s a testament to the strength of their faith, their unwillingness to give up on a religion that they grew up on. A religion that brings out across the country, pride, passion, anger, happiness – all at the same time.
Maybe the few of us who are beginning to question every game, every win, or every loss – are wrong, maybe we aren’t. There is no answer right now. But for those who continue to believe, don’t lose your religion just yet. It’s something worth saving.
