22 years - Of bringing an entire nation together each time he's walked on to the park; Of filling them with hope & pride, disappointment & ecstasy; Of being the lone warrior surrounded by ordinary fellow-men for a large part of the journey; Of working through it all to a stage where 14 others (superstars in their own right) have buckled down with a never-seen-before focus, intensity and discipline, almost as if obliged and owing it to their very own childhood hero.
A victory tomorrow would definitely be the icing on the cake & a small but fitting gift for his indescribable yet unassuming contribution. However, irrespective of the result and long after the dust has settled, and the hype & hysteria have died down, this more than anything else would still hold true - That the journey has indeed been worth a lot lot more than this destination!
