Aah...Finally the Great man bids adieu....It feels so poignant and hard to believe that.
And what a final speech that he delivered...It was just fascinating and awe inspiring...
His speech included all and left none. The speech exemplifies why he's a great man and will always be.
Speech's points in the same order said by him:
-First of all he expressed his thankfulness to his late father. He reiterated what he had advised him during his speech.
*Never take shortcuts.
*However hard the times may be, don't you ever give up.
*The most important thing in life is to be a good human being. Bad times will come and Good times will go, but what should you always be, is a good person. Try to become a good human being first and rest will follow.
-He thanked his mom for his proper care, upbringing and tolerating all his mischiefs.
-He told that the longest partnership that he has had, has been with his wife Anjali and he made it a point to thank her for withstanding him all over years. He also said that she has taken the responsibility of the family when he was not there. Last but not the least, he expressed his love for her and there you could see Anjali, who is rather shy of showing feelings, crying.
-He thanked his children Saara and Arjun and told them that they are special to him, admitting the fact that he couldn't devote much time to them, but the coming times would all be theirs.
-He then thanked his in-laws and all his family, starting from his sister, brothers, aunt and uncle.
Sister, who presented him his first Kashmir Willow bat. Brother for making what he is today, a cricketer. Aunt and uncle, with whom he used to live for years, for stadium was quite far from his home. He thanked his aunt for treating him as his own son.
-He made it a point to emphasize the importance of having a strong family. Family that supports you during ups and down, good times and the bad.
-He then thanked all his childhood friends, his teammates, old and young with whom he shared the dressing room.
-He thanked his coach for everything and made it a point that all the years Achrekar never praised him fearing that could make Sachin complacent. And said humorously that now he could do that.
-Then thanked Mumbai Cricket association and BCCI and all the people there.
Then he reiterated the brief message that he gave to the team when he was given his last match's cap by Dhoni to him:
-Play with right spirit, right values and bring laurels to the country, because you all are the chosen ones.
-We all are like stewards to this game, pay respect to the 22-yards because this is something that gives you all.
-He then thanked his doctors and physios for treating his illness and maintaining his body.
-Then he thanked his Late manager(Mark) who died in 2001, his current management team and his current manager.
-Media that gave him all the attention, photographers who have given him precious moments to cheer all through his life.
Then he thanked all the people for all the support and belief shown in him; people who have fasted for him, done crazy things for he could score more and many others.
What a scintillating speech it was, if and only if you would have listened to it Live. He left none and emphasized the importance of following your passion, family and friends, and by far the most important thing in life - Being a good human being.
Thanks for all the great moments that you have given to the country and been the reason for bringing cheers to many. You are an epitome of Talent, Integrity and Humility.
Thank you great man. You may be short but truly a 'tall' man.
