Sachin retires. I'm lucky enough to witness it.

Sachin Tendulkar recently retired from International cricket. Being a huge fan, plus never having watched a Test match live in a stadium, I was very keen on getting a ticket of his final match at Wankhede. Me, along-with a few other like-minded souls got down to ticket hunting like scavengers, keeping our eyes open at every word being spoken about ticket availability for the match. Kyazoonga had to obviously crash. I was one of the participants of the craze :P However, finally, a friend arranged for tickets (bless him) and lo! behold ! dream comes true !! I had to wake up very early and travel all the way to CST for the D-day.Share cabs were arranged at the station and I had people coming all the way from Madhya Pradesh, only to watch Sachin play, as company. "Phew! This is big ", I thought to myself. Needless to say the atmosphere and fervour in the stadium was crazyy and maddening! Also, Sachin stood right in front of our stand and fielded there all day. Paisa vasool...
