How do we live every day without you? How do we not miss you?  Why have you gone so far that our voice won't reach you?  Why did ...

The Living Legend -Sachin Tendulkar

Yesterday (24.02.2010) Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to score a double 100  in One day format ..... Not Out for 50 overs ....Needless to say am one of the biggest fan of Sachin .... and following him since  1997 , when I started watching cricket ....  The congratulations have been flowing for him since yesterday including PM of this country.
Yesterday when I started to monitor match ( I was in office) on internet Sehwag was already out.... Discussions between me & my colleague started ... He & I are one of the biggest fan of Tendulkar..... we  challenged credibility of  people  who said Sachin should retire ........ We said in chorous Sachin should hit a century today......... when he passed 87 in  early overs of 20 , my colleague said he should reach landmark  200 today ( he is been saying this since last few one days)........ I said I would be glad if he would.... But to reach 200 is real test of stamina & skills......... Skills : There would be hardly anyone who would doubt Sachin's . Stamina : Given that he is playing for 20 years ... and fitness is suppose to go down with ageing ( I had my doubts ; I am sorry  Sachin) ........ It was really test of fitness & again to come out in middle to field almost brought tears in my eyes ...... I bowed to the legend ...
Even when Sehwag goes out to play...Its expected he might reach 200 in One day ....looking at his aggressive way of batting ....... Somewhere in heart  I always felt the record of 200 is meant for Sachin.... He would break it........... When people started saying he is getting old  should Retire.... I felt may be record of 200 was not meant for him.......... I was often told he has earned enough money   now he should gracefully retire and give "oppurtunity to others ".......  The fact remains we are yet to find a cricketer who is as good as Sachin, as humble as he is , as down to earth as he is. I  used to to be like here is  the man who when goes out in the middle .... all your heart wanna shout is "Sachiiiiiiin " .... "Sachiiiiiiiiiiiin" and people say he should retitre........... ridiculous ........
He is also  captain of Mumbai Indians in IPL league and somehow Mumbai Indians did not do well in two seasons....and third season is coming up...........when Sachin's Mumbai Indian lost out in a crucial match in second season (Mumbai Indians  could not chase the runs in last two overs ) ...... One of my best friend said "You Mumbaikars Crumble  in Pressure " .... and  Sachin is My best friend's icon too ..... .. My friend furthur added since Sachin is a Mumbaikar ; he lacks leadership ;hence Mumbai Indians failed.... I was upset about My Best Friend making these comments ... ( Probably he was very upset at Mumbai Indians not making to Semis).......That day my heart told me time would come when these people will only praise Sachin again.....

As Bryan Adam Says "And Now the time are Changing  ,Look at everything that's come and gone " .... The height of success Sachin has reached today  .....  Everyone along with me will do it my life long............ Sachiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnn ..........Sachinnnnnnnnnnnnnn......
