Tribute to Sachin Tendulkar

Father's poetic tribute to the greatest player...Sachin Tendulkar, poem for Sachin.

Intensity, concentration, spontaneity Moods and tensions and form ... Rhythm and movement and composition And flashes of imagination and talent ... When the strokes go across To the boundary Of all the things, that string of Uncertainty hanging all the time Making moment of every movement - A creative moment And a challenge What else can all this be If not a lyric on the playground? Hence this vocabulary Rushing up to me As I sit down, Dear Sachin, To describe your game.
