Why Sachin should retire only according to his wish

The prolonging notions that the cricketing maestro, Sachin Tendulkar should retire or rather should consider restricting his appearance only to certain forms of cricket, is doing the rounds since a long time! And however constant the news and views may be, it's should be a decision left to the sportsman himself.

Though it has been often seen that Tendulkar hasn't been consistent in his performances, it's totally different that it should be something which should provoke the critics and fellow players to MAKE him retire from the game.
And why, certain critics or players seem to agree to this opinion strongly. It's mainly because he hasn't been able to reach that 100th international century, which has been pending for so long.

Regarding the ex-players, who would also have been his teammates during certain periods of time, saying that Sachin has to consider his time in ODIs is over, they should really think about it. Think about another angle to the situation. Tendulkar himself has seen many of his teammates retire. From when he started playing international cricket in 1989 until now, he must have witnessed the retirement of many Indian and international players. Many have been stalwarts, many would have just came and went. And having witnessed all these, it should be very proper for him to judge, as to when his time would come to stop playing.

Till then, let's enjoy the master's game.

Darkness

As I sit within these walls Those thoughts, the mind recalls Craving for that cosy hand With that familiar blue band The shadows in the moonlight Search for the bright sunlight That once existed, for long Without any inhibitions, forlorn The breeze sings in midnight Though the clock waits for the light With the miles crossing by But the moon floats, as its own alibi The walks sing their ballads Out when they call, the nomads Those who belong to this world Yet, while they lie all curved Along the streets, they speak Of stories which call them a freak Smile along they do with might When others smirk at their sight Forget those who are bemoan Running behinds dreams flown Chasing peaks which are unreachable Carrying loads pretty unbearable A day shall come, long-drawn When the time will dawn Upon them with a light so bright Fight, they shall, with all their might.

one heck of a trip..

its not everyday that u go for a trip. but the one which we went ws very exciting.. its not evryday tht u go to a 150 km trip unplanned and all of a sudden. so in that way it was special. we experienced everything in between. 8 of us. the trip wasnt wht it became at the beginning. at the start, the idea was just to hire a vehicle and roam around the city. but when we had hired the vehicle for a day, the thoughts began swirling. bright ideas came up of what to do with the vehicle in one day.. and amongst many options put forward, the Cherai Beach near Ernakulam was the one we fixed. Started in the night of that saturday. Lots of roaming abt the places and confusions in between regarding the routes. and besides that there was this shortage of fuel. a couple of times, we just reached the petrol pump, jus when the fuel was getting over. the whole night we were driving. at abt 2:30 am we went to our friends' house on the way. now tat was a surprise 2 his mom.. then at abt early morning ...

The Trip

It was started off as just another Whatsapp group, but fortunately it ended up as something which materialized into a get-together. With couple of months of planning lead by our very own planning commision head, Mr. S, a trip to Ooty, worked out for the long weekend clubbed with Labor Day. The agenda was clear: A visit to our alma mater, a drive through the valleys of Ooty, and an overnight stay, and then the return day after - and yes, celebrating Mr. A’s homecoming as well. The plan looked simple, but the eagerness towards it wasn’t such. It had been a long time ever since the whole of Troublers (yes! that’s the name of our group), had sat down together, and talked like there wasn’t an end to the world. And The Trip was surely going to be a mark up for that. For me, it happened to be a rush through with missing out on the first day to The Trip. So after the hiccups with the month end closure and between the hurried heartbeats decrypting the excitement into smiles, I boarded t...
