The day began normally....it was fine and sunny and overcast at the same time..i know that sounds funny but it was...
there was nothing unusual in the day and for a change the papers din't report nythin indifferent really..it was just nyc..
and I was sayin to myself dat for a change..the papers have not reported anything untowardly..
and den the BOMB dropped..had my jaw just wide open..
knew this day would come..just dint knowit wud whilst I was still breathin.
I mean,yes..he's huma..Sachin would retire..but he was Sachin..i always kept tellin that to myself..he was different..others could.but others were not Sachin..they were just something else..something different...I mean he played for the country at an age we learnt how to flirt..its obnoxiously true..he was in the service of the nation wen we were mugging up Physics and shit....
so u can understand...he was always different..
so it came just as a shock to me like it came as a relief to every bowler who's gonna bowl against him...yes he was outta form and stuff like dat..but he was Sachin,u know...stuff like form and shit dint matter to him...he is Sachin.
24 years..thats right..24 years he was in the same job..day in and day out..he took leaves on his choice and not on the management's directive.the management had changed.players around him had changed.the curls he had wen he was a teenager into the team had changed into something more mature,if u may call that...govt's were toppled.the Berlin wall came down.we won Kargil and the world cup.Pankaj Advani won snooker titles.everything changed.but he was astute..as solid as a rock...as flexible as ony he could be..yet only as humble.
I hav had only one occasion,and dat was a blessing,to watch him play that too at the hallowed grounds of Eden Gardens and dat too against Pakistan,our rivalry written in Gold....he made a flawless 82 in the 1st innings.whilst Jaffer made a double century,f I am not wrong.
he dint come out to bat in the 2nd innings.instead he send Dhoni in..
ohhh..I remember almost everythin...
words for the maestro flow like a chocolate melts in ur mouth..just so serene and flawless and pure...
Nov 18..cricket will lose something that cannot be regained...
let me just sit for now and cherish what he achieved..
Fare thee well..Sachin Tendulkar
