They say it’s hard to make a man shriek but yes today I sobbed!!!
why???
My God retired
today, he just said go and live without me,, but is it possible?? Though this
day was inevitable but why today.???
Who would have
thought 24 years back that there will be one lad for whom entire nation will
cry when he will stop working. But yes this little boy came to the arena and acquired
all the hearts, not only by his talent but by his virtue, ignominy, esteem and
devotion he bought to the game. I will not talk about the landmarks he achieved
in his career but in one line, "He had it all".
I called up my Mom
when God was delivering the most difficult delivery of his carrier- His
retirement speech, She said, "So what, so many players retire just add one
more to the list". First I got vexed but then I realized she is living in reality
and that her God is different, but for me, I was living in a dream world of my
own which was ruled by my God and his miracles and who can consent to the fact
that his/her God will be no longer with them. Today an era has come to an end,
Cricket will not be same again. I feel pity for the next generation who will
not be able to see what we, the chosen
one, saw. I feel proud that we live on same land where Sachin lives, we both were on the same side and that we were able to witness history been written in right front of us. Yes, history will
not repeat itself and there will be no second Sachin ever, but still who will
satisfy my urge to see the eminence I saw in this man, I remember a famous
quote from former Indian captian, Azhar
"The more I see him, the more I
want to see him"
