Clearly I have failed to understand Ravi Shastri’s passion for ‘GETTING THE FEELING’ but thanks to the following Ode by Shastri himself I now realize how deep his passion for “Feeling” and “Getting” it truly is. The World Cup is beyond blessed to have such a great commentator who gets the Feeling the way only he does:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Feeling - What Is It?
That which I feel is the Feeling
Can you feel what I feel? Do you even know what I feel?
No you cannot for that which I feel is the Feeling that no one else feels
Where would the Feeling be without my Feeling of it?
It would merely be something unfelt,
Completely unfelt until I feel it.
It is only after I feel it that it becomes felt leading to the Feeling I feel...
I have always felt the Feeling no one else has ever felt and no one will ever feel the Feeling or feel about the Feeling the way I feel the Feeling for I am the Supreme feeler of the Feeling.
Feeling is not easy, it takes years of Feeling to feel the Feeling the way I feel it and it is my Feeling of the Feeling alone which can be considered to be the real Feeling.
Every other Feeling felt and unfelt by anyone else capable of Feeling is not a true Feeling because the feelers of the Feeling are incapable of getting the Feeling that I have felt…
I alone can feel…
I alone GET the Feeling...
If it weren’t for me the tracer bullet would never have been felt and in turn you would never have felt my Feeling of the tracer bullet,
If it weren’t for me things would never have gone down to the wire. It is only because of my getting of the Feeling that the downing of the wiring constantly occurs for only I can comprehend the Feeling in the way it is meant to be felt and that Feeling presents itself when things go down to the wire.
No one can put a Ceiling on my Feeling
Or even try Sealing my Feeling
Just because you don’t get the Feeling
Don’t try to steal my Feeling.
Who is P.Ling?
Whoever be P.Ling,
Fact is even he cannot get the Feeling.
Go to Google, Go to Bing,
Even over there only I get the Feeling.
Whether it’s Batting or Bowling,
Only I get the Feeling.
Even when Munaf Patel is fielding,
Be It Eating
Or Sleeping
Or Walking
Or Talking
Or Acting
Or Jumping
Or Singing
Or Dancing
Or Cooking
Or Riding
Or Laughing
Or Hiking
Or Jogging
Or Shopping
Or Even Hitchhiking
…….I just Get the Feeling
Feeling the Feeling no one else feels,
Getting the Feeling no one else gets,
At the end of the day,
Cricket is not about Winning or Losing,
It Simply Is About Getting The Feeling,
AND I ALONE JUST GET THE FEELING.
