Farewell Sachin!

the humility reflective in a child-like tender voice,
the reverence of thanking the Almighty Father on every milestone,
the non-attachment to power only to focus on one's own skill,
the courage to convert every personal loss into a selfless win,
the dignity of a clean image in a game mired with controversy,
the patience to supersede every record under the sun,
the balance of not taking the game lightly, nor success too seriously,
the class of permanence in the backdrop of temporary forms,
the idolatry of divine play in a nation deprived of heroes,
the void that will be felt coz only humans will play from now on..
