Destined to lose

Outplayed and stranded,
I stand,
with no branch to cling on.

Choiceless and frustrated,
I watch;
My destiny snatch out
what I loved the most.

I resist,rebel, shout
but my expressions glued within me,
powerless to come out;
And I put on a face
with smile pasted on my lips;
I heard eyes never lie,
But I prove it otherwise.

With no hopes left,
all dreams deserted,
I hope,
I would never hope for anything,
Coz hope was everything for me,
But now it has spared nothing;
A tranquil, soulless body is all
what I've become.

The master class

Once in a millennium, we get players who change the way a game is played, but only once in a lifetime you get a player who stands as a definition of the game for one billion people. Even long after his retirement , if I am alive , I would proudly say ," I have seen Sachin Tendulkar play"..

Congratulations to the master whose craftsmanship is unrivaled.
