PATNA: What is the relation between cricket and bhajan? Mahendra Singh Dhoni! Tired of trying to net the cricketer himself, young girls in Bihar are now praying to Lord Shiva to grant husbands like him.
Temples are echoing with the Bhojpuri song, Set kara di life he Baba Dhoni sangh hamaar ho . (Lord Shiva, please set our lives with Dhoni or men like him). With the Hindi month of Shrawan on, the recently-released album, Baba ke nagariya bada pawan lage la , (Lord Shiva's abode is sacred to us) has become a favourite for girls in Bihar. Unmarried girls throng Shiva temples during the month to seek suitable husbands.
Humming the song while coming out of a city temple, Shruti, a young devotee said, ''Any sensible girl would love to have a husband like Dhoni.''
Dipali, another devotee, said, ''With Dhoni moving around with a posse of female guards these days, girls like us have stopped thinking of him and instead started praying for a life partner having similar qualities.''
Singer Saloni, who has lent her voice to the song, said, ''The idea of a devotional song featuring Dhoni struck a few months ago. We decided to release the song before Shrawan which is the time girls come to Shiva temples praying for a suitable life partner.''
