The play goes on and the wait continues . . .

Out at 94 :( must have broken billion hearts and made News Channels to do a postmortem of the innings on what exactly went wrong and give 1000 conclusions and predictions on the future and most importantly the 100th ton ! That's how it is and it would be .But the man who has carried a nations hope for the past 20 years would simply go and play  the next game with the same passion and spirit he has done for over 20 years and try to win the game for India.Kudos to the person on handling such pressure.

        Lets not wait for the 100th hundred  .There is a poetry in his stroke play .The  classical cover drives and the straight drives from the master.Experts would say its dangerous to drive on the up.But not for the Master.He does it with ease and grace..It is for the destiny to decide when and  where the destiny's child should get the 100th hundred .Let us  enjoy his stroke play  till then.

                  As the Bombay poet C. P. Surendran wrote: "Batsmen walk out into the middle alone. Not Tendulkar. Every time Tendulkar walks to the crease, a whole nation, tatters and all, marches with him to the battle arena. A pauper people pleading for relief, remission from the lifelong anxiety of being Indian, by joining in spirit their visored saviour."
"
           
This says it all .That defines Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.

Lets wait till the moment happens and enjoy and be privileged to watch the legend give joy to his billions of followers.
