Lion's Roar

They say that the lion is the most ferocious of all known mammals. His very name inspires pride or instills a fear of epic proportions that the prey is petrified in pure awe! He dons a mane of golden elegance around his neck that shines like it’s made of tendrils of gold strung together. His claws are like razors, tearing down his prey. When they hunt, they hunt together and they sync in mind, body, heart and soul thus taking down the opponent in grace, in style. It is said that his roar can be heard for up to 3miles. Ladies and gentlemen, I can proudly tell you that it is true. I hear it today. I hear it tonight. And I roar with them.

One of the most important qualities of the King of the Jungle is their magnanimity. Fair play in every walk of life. No underhand tricks. Face any challenge head on. Each opponent was treated with courtesy and given due respect. There was no grudge held against any others. The global Alpha lion that never flattered. There was no vengeance, no revenge. Well retribution is a different matter.

Sometimes the lions become lazy. The prey is taken a bit too lightly. Some mistakes are made. Some are over looked. Some considered not worth the effort. They got away. Yet we got them back. Hunting them down at home always. Never flattered at our den. Our Pride Rock. Unbeatable at home turf. This not only proves how strong the defense is but also how observant we are. Each inch of the stronghold roars with us in unison. They say that he who conquers himself conquers the world. No surprises there either.

No matter how big the challenge, no matter how many kings came, no knight rider nor daredevil, no warrior or duniya hilane wala, no tusker nor royal, no matter how big the charge was the opponents were dealt with. Efficiency at its maximum and effectively enjoyable.

This may be a tribute. This may be an attempt to appreciate the Kings of IPL. But friends I can tell you one thing. It is impossible to bind their name, fame, guts and glory in mere words! NAMMA CHENNAI KU WHISTLE PODU \m/
