AHMEDABAD: Sachin, Sehwag and Dhoni are diving for cover in Mehsana, Ahmedabad and Navsari. After the humiliating crash and burn of Team India at the hands of the Sri Lankans, it’s not just the real Men in Blue who are at the receiving end.
The lives of these cricketer-lookalikes too are in peril. Showered with abuses, and threatening to get beaten up in their neighbourhood, these cricketer doubles have decided to lie low till public anger subsides. Hemant Patel who looks like Sachin Tendulkar has been the butt of cruel jokes and abuses in his home in Gandevi, Navsari.
Same is the case with Yogendra Shah, who looks like Virender Sehwag. "When Sehwag plays well, I am treated well, but when he scores badly, even the life of my wife and child is in jeopardy as people threaten to beat me up for Sehwag's bad performance," says Shah, who has quit his hometown in Mehsana, temporarily, to escape the wrath of fans.
Suresh Rathod, Ahmedabad's Sachin-clone says,"Just because I look like Sachin, people treat me like a VIP, but the way Team India played on Friday, the extreme reactions of these people is understandable. They have betrayed the trust of the millions of people who worship them."
Rathod was a part of the prayers and yagnas organised for India's success at the Cup '07. But Hemant Patel has little regret. He still thinks his looks are "God's gift".
Says the other Sachin look-alike: "If one fails to perform one has to be ready for criticism. In my case, if my looks are similar to Sachin, It's God's gift and I can't change my looks."
Dhoni double, Mukesh Patel is cool. Rubbishing the veiled threats of fans, Patel, who runs a gaming zone in Ahmedabad, says he will not cut his hair or go into hiding because of the player's getting out on a duck. "I had long hair before Dhoni burst into the cricketing scene

Our aricle:
Women tend to make better friends than men
ANI
London: If you thought that female bonding is ephemeral, often suffering from bouts of jealousy, backstabbing and nasty catfights, think again, for a new research has revealed that women tend to form deep and lasting friendships while men are more likely to make fickle friends over a pint or game of squash.
The research suggests that people are more likely to socialise with their own gender.
Members of the fairer sex make "deeper and more moral" friends and then stick with them through thick and thin.
Sociologists from the University of Manchester found that men tend to be more calculating about who they befriend, and are likely to base these relationships on social drinking.
The four-year study tracked the lives of 11,000 men and women between 1992 and 2002. Each of those taking part in the British Household Panel Surveys regularly filled in questionnaires about the state of their friendships.
Dr Gindo Tampubolon, from the university's School of Social Sciences, said his team had wanted to learn whether the nature of friendship had changed in recent years as technology had advanced.
One of his conclusions is that, in general, it has not. Indeed, in some situations mobile phones and computers had actually enhanced friendships.
"In years gone by, people might have written a friend a letter, then waited for a reply. Now they can call them, visit them, e-mail them, talk to them on MSN and swap photographs over the internet," he said.
Dr Tampubolen's research suggests that people are much more likely to socialise with those of their own gender - 75 per cent of best friends in the survey were of the same sex.
According to Dr Tampubolen, "Friendship between women seems to be fundamentally different from friendship between men. It is much deeper and more moral. It is about the relationship itself rather than what they can get out of it."
He continued by saying, "Women tend to keep their friends through thick and thin across geography and social mobility, and their view of friendship has something to do with how they express themselves and form their identity."
