Dear Sachin! At the same time of WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTH DAY, I wish to recall your firm resolve 9 years back on this same period, when you stood firm, as dust-storm swept across the Statium at Sharja. You remained with your helmet and pads on, for the storm to settle down and for you to resume your innings. You came back strongly and made India proud by winning the Match for India. Be the same Sachin. There could be many jealous individuals, including certain so-called greats, calling for your Retirement. You know pretty well that you have NOT yet reached the retirement stage. Dont let your heart take the ill-minded persons' calls for your retirement. Be firm and resolute and be prepared to do many more wonders for Indian Cricket. Let the people talk whatever they want. But, you continue to focus on the game.
Happy Birth Day Once Again. You are a GENIUS and no one can take that away from you. You are SACHIN the Great.
