Mumbai is Tendulkar-town, Delhi is Sehwag-ville. In a cricket-insane nation, sports stores in the metros, as a rule, stock up on cricket gear, even secondary accessories like pads and gloves routinely outselling tennis rackets and the like. Things changed the week before our 60th Independence Day. Suddenly, the national game was fashionable. The demand was for hockey sticks. "It was two weeks after the film released," remembers Govind Lele, owner of a suburban Mumbai sports store. "And all of them wanted hockey sticks. We didn't know where to get them. We had to restock the whole store."
