This isn’t a tribute to Sachin, lord knows I’m not the
eloquent or a great writer who can seize his greatness in my words.
This is just to express those emotions, which were expressed by millions today in those tears.
Millions of people, with moist eyes, bidding farewell to the great Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.
But what are they crying for? Is it because they won’t see India win again, they won’t see some records breaking or some great innings. That’s not it, and Rohit & Pujara proved so.
The show will go on. But maybe that’s all it’s going to be from now on. A show!
For the past decade or so, Cricket has always been in limelight. For scandals, controversies, etc.
But people always defended the game, always using the similar expression. “Don’t blame the game, Sachin has been playing it for a long time now and he has always been fair.” People never lost faith in the game as long as he was a part of it. He gave them a sense of hope, relief and faith.
There is a reason why every mother adores him, why our grandparents are so fond of him, why the youth worshipped him.
It wasn’t just Cricket, It can’t be.

It wasn’t just Cricket, It can’t be.
It was his passion, his nature, his humbleness, his regards
for the game but most of all it was his soul, the purity of his soul, which
even after achieving so much, people can still connect to.
As a son, who wanted to fulfill his parents’ dream. As a parent who wants his children to be proud of him. But above all, as a boy, who just wanted to chase his dream & play.
Not being a serious cricket fan, Sachin might not have been a God to me, but he was the soul of the game.
I am one of those billions of fan, who got inspired by Sachin.
I got inspired everytime he came to play, by watching him play with all his heart. He played with the hopes of millions counting on him. Most of the time he made those dreams come true, sometimes he failed. But, the fact that he tried everytime with so much sincerity & dedication was so inspiring.

Cricket is always going to be a part of him, like he said ‘its
oxygen to him’.
He might not play for india anymore, but somehow I get the
feeling, he’ll be playing anyways, for his son, for the younger generation. Not
only teaching them the techniques but the lessons Cricket & his life taught
him.
“He retired from the game, not from his greatness.”
