Sachin R Tendulkar retires! The inevitable has happened...
Most of us have been hearing this all day long. Having just had the time, I feel obliged to pen down my #ThankYouSachin too..
I came across 3 posts today. And they touched my heart.
1. Wikipedia - Sachin R Tendulkar - Former Indian Cricketer. tears in my eyes. I remember those good ol' Sharjah days, the Sachin - Saurav partnership. The front foot sixes. Though we weren't rank 1 then, we had something... that Spark! And no amount of Kohli or Dhoni, or even Sir Jadeja can't replace that.
2. Google reported a record 1.6 million SRT pictures downloaded today. Facebook claimed to have had 85 million uploads of him. These mere facts are humbling enough. They make you realize what a God he is...
3. A simple quote - Sachin's retirement is nature's ultimate proof that nothing is permanent.
I've never been a great cricket fan, but no one can deny the sheer genius of the guy. 24 years. that's 2 years more than my life span. 24 years and I'm yet to hear 1 controversy about him. when I see Sachin's greatest fan at every match of his, body painted in the colors of our national flag, I'm left in awe.
I may seem incoherent, unsystematic, but I assure you, its merely cause the emotions have over whelmed me at this moment... The thought that we'd never see him walk down to bat again..
Never again will we hear those words- "Sachin ne kitna banaya?"
A mere mortal, in awe, I salute the Legend, the king of our Hearts. The God!
Thank you for my Childhood...
