Aamir Khan and Sachin Tendulkar

Aamir Khan and Sachin Tendulkar-the two persons who are the masters in their trade, have been my role models for years. It wasn't based on any reason but just some sort of affinity that drew me towards their talent, discipline and work ethos. I remember Sachin getting into my memory when he hit Abdul Qadir for 4 sixes in an over in a game at Sharjah. He was driving the whole country wild then with his prodigious talent.
Similarly Aamir had become the nation's new wonderboy and heartthrob with his cute arrival in QSQT. He was instantly recognized as an actor made for acting. I dunno how and when I grew such a big fan of him but I distinctly remember getting uneasy when Salman's MPK was faring better than Aamir's Dil. No hard feelings but it was like that.
While Aamir made debut in 1988, Sachin played his first cricket match in 1989 against the arch-rivals Pakistan. Both got noticed at the first instant only. Since then they have been delivering grand performances on a regular basis. It is not only about their records but the sheer discipline and attitude towards their work that stands them out. Both are methodical and nothing less than perfect satiates them. And so, it is no strange that both are big fans of each other. While Sachn was amongst the first to watch Ghulam while away on the Srilankan tour, Aamir has always been a cricket follower, esp. Sachin's. n they do meet quite often.
So where does it leave me then? I too, since they are my role models, to say at least, would like to emulate them.n what about my wish? Ya, it is to have a dinner with both my heroes together. But will it be possible? If yes, then when?
