It is with great sorrow and sadness I have to tell you that Sachin Tendukar , Son of Ramesh Tendulkar , the heartthrob of millions, died yeseterday while he was playing with Bangladesh in the 2nd Test Match.Fittingly enough the last innings of the record century maker from India also was a century, though we will try not to deliberate how it was made.
He was not feeling well for quite sometime suffering from should-i-score-centuries-or play-cricket-for-the-team, and not unexpectedly failing on both the fronts.His last healthy appearance on the field was recorded when he was playing against West Indies in Malaysia in slog overs, doing what he does best to a mediocre bowling usually , teaching how not to bowl to him, which pretty much meant not bowling to him at all.
His last days have been thoroughly recorded as a real life case study of the ever interesting theme of "Death of a Genius".His last days was very much notable for the eagerness he showed for scoring centuries, and doing whatever it takes to achieve it which sometimes meant a kid growing up and learning how to say four letter words before Sachin reached to his coveted Hundred from "Nervous Ninties". There are some insane people around who are accusing him of playing a little defensive, now who can make them understand that it all depends upon team needs and the quality of bowling attack one is facing(Did someone just said it was Bangladesh or we had already scored three hundred runs for 1 wicket??).They are plain stupid people who expect him to score on every juicy half-volley or a spinner pitching the ball on half-pitch on a dead pitch.Shut Up you morons !!! If the game was so easy every Brayan Lara would have become Sachin Tendulkar.I mean you don't do easy things, do you ? You do complicated things and then give even more complicated explanation of such complicated doings if somebody bothers to ask.Yeah I know that is not cricket , but Whatever !!
Anyways this is just too much to be addressed in a obituary.Let me go ahead and tell you the cause of death so that we don't have to ask like a stupid in the funeral ...." What the hell happened " when everybody is trying so hard to decide the amount of glycerine to get the desired effect for such a socially important event.According to experts( just take my words for it, they are experts !! ), he died of ECS( Excessive-Caution-Syndrome) which got aggravated by "Make-my-place-secure- anxiety-attack" which normally succeeds an extended " I-have-got-only-5-Crore-worth- -commercial-this-year-complex" .
This world is harsh and harsher is the death of someone we love, but we have to learn to live without them and though we know it is going to be difficult, we all going to try to live wihout you.
Sachin, the one who hit the bowlers all over the park and the one whose batting was the elixir of our cricketing life(if there was such thing),
WE WILL MISS YOU !!
ADIEU !! May you rest in peace , forever.
