Tribute to God!

TPFDF Programming Concepts and Reference

Can you put in words the glory of one and the only one- the god of cricket, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar?


I think even if you want to you cannot! All the adjectives in the dictionary would not be able to define the greatness of this humble man!


I was poring through some articles on internet, and I luckily came across the very famous Time Magazine’s quote on Sachin. I liked it so much that I feel it is necessary to share that with you all-


"When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will."


I hope you will like it the same way as I liked it!


God Bless!

Cheers!

  1. Dost aaj to dil khush kar diya tune. now there are no words left to explain this guy. He is the only one as of kind and will be remembered as a synonym for perfection, humbleness, honesty, modesty and hardwork. There are still a majority of crowd who turns off TV sets when sachin gets out. I am afraid because he can announce his retirement anytime after WC 2011 :(
