Just like many Indians, I am a cricket lover and a Sachin devout. When he got out today, and I saw him walk back to the pavilion, almost instantaneously, a tear came out of my eye. Just a tear drop, which was enough to keep me dumbfounded for minutes. I had to turn the TV off and accept the brutal reality. All good things have to end someday, and all of us have to move on. Truth is intolerant & that's life & it's greatest lesson. His total runs in Test Cricket is 15847? Numbers ring? 15-Aug-1947! It's a fabulous number. This is a number I'd definitely like to remember other than the figures of exchequer loss for the Government that the CAG gives now & then. In a way, it's a landmark number. Freedom - from the mundane routine, from a bewildered life, from depression, from joy! It's just pure bliss & there's nothing greater than that moment when one drops everything & looks up into the sky & just smile. And, in all my life,
Attaining clarity by baby steps, which is chaos.
