Standing alone,
a alone warrior, a gladiator
pained, anguished and dejected
helplessly watching
his herculean effort go in waste
one after another his team mates
crumbled like nine pins, in haste
fathom not his own agony in the din.
He stood alone to salvage
the honour, the prestige
almost did the impossible
making up for other’s sins.
The hush itself was in hush
he fell, short of victory
he proved his mastery in the field
yet the fate was sealed.
God never fails
Humans fail HIM
Conditions get created
So no one can blame HIM
Sachin remains the best
Engraved in minds
everywhere in the world
east or west.

Sachinists are everywhere, there are many cricket-lovers who watch the matches for the fair play with a sportsman spirit!
a wonderful tribute to the wonderful cricketer.........good one Sir
after being a Bharat ratna he should target Nobel Prize for peace after making himself a peace maker..his temperament suits for this cause...
Yes, Sachin always did the impossible! Though not a cricket fan, when I watched the last batting of Sachin in Mumbai today, before his aged mother, his wife, all his dear ones and thousands of cricket fans with their eyes glued on Sachin, he remained so calm and composed and won 74 runs and gracefully ended(?) 24 years of his cricket career! His presence of mind, humility and his focussed efforts add to his shining personality! A timely tribute to a great 'Gladiator'!
