I had written a few years ago on the same day, same occasion.
It is that time of the year again - yes, the day when India was blessed with one of the greatest cricketing superstars the world has ever seen.
Not just a supremely gifted and larger-than-life cricketer, but also a gentleman, and a wonderful human being.
Thankyou Sachin, for the memories you have provided - from that scintillating strokeplay to that astute cricketing acumen you always seem to have possessed in abundance.
Thankyou Sachin, for teaching us that talent alone is not enough. That even the most talented must remain the most disciplined and most passionate, as well as the most humble.
Thankyou Sachin, for showing us that it is still possible to remain grounded, even with more than a billion hearts idolizing you all the time.
Thankyou Sachin, for teaching us that nice guys can also finish first!! :-)
I'm sure I say so on behalf of many more like me:
Wish you many years of health, happiness, and success in all that you do...from one of the many big fans of not just your talent and achievements, but also of your conduct and temperament.
Best wishes and cheers!!
Just another fan :-)
