I used to address him "pendulkar" in my childhood..Used the same bat named "Power"..put his and Kapli Dev's pic. on my cupboard.Pray in front of his pic. before playing cricket in my Society. Yes folks I am Talking about non other than Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.. He will be no more on cricket field..He called it a day..Date : 16.11.2013.....
What can I say about him , there are many many talks are going on about his career , retirement , post retirement plans.etc etc...but let me tell u the incidence of yesterday..when he was batting in his last test match against west indies.. I was at my office and checking score at regular intervals...when my colleague told me that hey you haven't check the score,,Sachin is out (74 Runs) !!!! Our Heart stops for a moment..Yes he was back in the dressing room...Sad na!!!! I clapped for him when he plays his magical storks..or bowel 6 different balls in one over..Feel sad when he return to dressing room with out troubling the scorer...threw some slang words to the umpire also if he gave him a wrong decision... but what makes him such special that his arch rivals were also praised his career ?I saw his batting videos...keeping cool like Ice. I know..I am a sentimental fool in the case of cricket...cried for 2 days when India Lost the match in 1996 world cup...feel sad when we lost in 2003 world cup..eyes were wet again in 2011..but this time it was for a happy moment. MSD lift the world cup...got the No. 1 ranking..fail in Aus, ; England...etc....He was a cricketer with a clean image.A true player of a gentleman's game..
Trying what's makes him so special...and ..and still he was down to earth in his final official speech..consider all his important people in the speech..(till now my eyes are wet ...not due to the over time of company but heard his speech up till now 10 times and counting...)
Remembering the sandstorm innings in sharjah..Batting with pain against Pakistan..etc ..etc..etc...
I know every Indian or a true sports person will admire him at a different time of his career...
You were my childhood hero and you will remain the same...
Good Bye Sachin...
**you can laugh if you find any funny thing in it..but I write this blog to give a guidance to my feeling towards him which was not possible for me to share with any one.
