Dear Sachin, Have been a HUGE fan of yours. You were, probably still are an idol for me and millions of others. Wish you many many happy returns of the day. In the coming year, may we see the aggressive Sachin of older days, even if he lasts only 1 year, rather than seeing a matured, wiser, slower Sachin grafting his innings, struggling to look like the old sachin for 4-5 years... May you have the courage to call it a day after some more scintillating knocks that i think you are still very much capable of. The block is not physical, its only psychological. Cut loose, prove your detractors wrong. Yes, you need to prove yourself each time you are out there wearing the INdian colours. If needed take a break and come back, but don't play struggling innings and show respect to pathetic bowlers....
