With a teary eye, I write... GOD LIVES ON…. At times when the sins on the earth surge, when the human race starts to follow the path of unrighteousness, The God himself would descend on earth to take charge of the situation and aggress And this time, he descended as a shy, young, baby faced boy wielding a bat, All of a metre and a half but capacity to bring champions down to the mat Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something beyond our mind, something beyond scientific measure…beyond known, Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of his own When he is batting, people switch on their TV sets and switch off their lives….the world comes to a standstill and cannot help but stare, Nothing fazed him…not bouncers, not sledging nor a fast bowler’s ferocious glare When he is at the helm of affairs, chances of triumph for the opposition would be grim, Every parent in this colossal country wants their child to be like him He transformed the way the realm played the game, Champions admitted losing to this Legend was no shame While every mother of the land considered him her son, He went on to become the father of every bowler under the sun He seldom disappointed when he was looked upon, on any given occasion, He became a role model for the world and every child of this nation For twenty four years, he carried a nation on his shoulders with utmost care, Nothing could stop him from achieving what he set for; he conquered the world with his flair He achieved a stature no one would ever dream to reach, He pushed the limits of the sky, no mortal would dare to breach Apart from being a God Father to budding cricketers around the world, he has been a devoted son & sibling, a dedicated student, a loving husband, a responsible father, He has shown us the true meaning of relationships and how much family matters Is he not God, who breaks unbending pride with utmost modesty? Is he not God who has won over evil with supreme nobility? Is he not God, who has converted the greatest envy into Love with his virtue? Is he not God, who has unheeded extreme prosperity and success with humility? Is he not God, who brought smiles and joys on the faces of people and made them stay by sacrificing his own family and life for the country and the game? Is he not God, who has set a beautiful example for us to follow, who has made a permanent place in the hearts and souls of a billion people? Is he not God, who has been a testament of passion, integrity, fairness, intensity, diligence, patience, kindness, humility and humanity in spite of all the greatness achieved? Is he not God, who has brought people of all religions, castes, creed, colour and backgrounds together and awakened humanity in a world plagued with religious turbulence, inequality and deceit? If you say no, there is no meaning to God and Godliness. God is not the one who resides in a golden temple and draws devotion God is the one who ignites sparks in languid hearts and brings about a revolution And as nature reminds us that nothing is permanent, this fateful day God retires from his true abode without a blemish, saluting the 22 yards from where he arose and lived 24 years of supremacy, Not before showing billions of us the way of life and ensuring to prepare the messengers to take his legacy forward Our life revolved around him and the fact that we would never see our little champ again, life is unimaginable We may not see him in action anymore, but his legacy continues… Take a bow Little Master, GODs never go, they LIVE FOREVER!
