10dulkar Forever...

Some Great News and some that are straining to be news…

Its the day after “The Lord of the Crease”, Sachin retired. No untoward incidents were reported from anywhere in the country. Some people were still found moving around with the Indian Cricket’s blue jersey with No. 10 printed on it and proudly waving the Indian Tri-colour, as this will be the last time the No. 10 will ever be used on an Indian Cricketer’s jersey. The BCCI has decided to retire No. 10 in Sachin’s honour.

The Prime Minister, changing the rules, has already sent a recommendation to the president for honoring Sachin with the highest civilian honor of the country, the Bharat Ratna. The PM personally spoke to Sachin and gave the good news.
