Happy Birthday Tendlya....

The cricketing God turns thirty nine today,
This is indeed for him a very memorable birthday,
A year before he hits the big four zero (40)
Yes, I'm talking about Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, our cricketing hero.
Born in Mumbai on 24 April 1973 to Ramesh and Rajni,
Little would they know their son would hold the world record for scoring in international cricket, a hundred centuries,
He has changed the face of modern cricket,
Besides batting, he has also taken over 44 test match wickets.
Sachin also known as "Tendlya" or "Little master"
Is indeed a super master blaster,
His batting, his bowling, his straight drives, his classic style,
indeed the most "wholesome batsman of his time"
He  is our very own Indian Donald Bradman,
Luckily, the Australian legend is able to see his copy apna Sachin, in his life span.
Many who achieve greatness, do change with time,
But Sachin Tendulkar still remains down to earth, temperamental and has a philantrophic side.
He has come a long way since his debut against Pakistan in 1989,
So let's wish him a very Happy Birthday and pray that in cricket he hits more centuries, 
India wins and he always shines!!
