I have been familiar with the chant of Sa-chin, Sa-chin being raised at cricket ground around the world and it was unusual to hear that at the Buddh International Circuit on October 30 when cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar walked on to the track to join the Formula 1 fraternity before the start of the Grand Prix of India. Come to think of it, there was a rich variety of sound at the inaugural event last month – and no, I am not talking of the music that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (or, Lady GaGa, if you please) made or the music that heavy metal bank Metallica did not make in Gurgaon. Over four successive days, I heard the entire range of pitches, from soft whispers to deafening roars, from delighted moans to angry groans.
