As told in 'Geeta', when the decline of dharma and increase of adharma on this globe becomes intolerable, I manifest my eternally perfect form in this mundane world. To protect my unalloyed devotees, annihilate the wicked and reinstate dharma, I take birth in every age. Now, though this might sound hyper to many, (but this is my view and I am sure that most of the cricket fans will give their consent), the sole purpose of MASTER to arrive on this earth, and that too in the land where GOD himself has taken ten – ten incarnations, is to enjoy his batting.. Love you Sachin!

I wanted to write about the little master!!...but no book is big enough and no article descriptive enough to accommodate his achievements. 17,000 runs in one dayers and 20 years of cricket...nice one..always wondered why there was nothing about Sachin on Indiamarks...
