13,288 bricks in the wall! :)

Born to a middle class family, discipline was his name,
Never he took anything for granted, or was discomposed by any fame.

His eyes showed determination, his batting was an art,
Classical style of play was his famous mark.

The dressing room had respect, oppositions knew the impact,
In bowler-friendly conditions the WALL stood apart.

Batted at 3, withstood the storm,
In the lineup of Kings of the batting,
here was a "LORD!"

Come this Friday, he may call it a quit,
Leaving a huge void for the number 3 spot.

Rahul Dravid please do a favor -

Announce the retirement but don't quit before playing the last TEST!

It will be an inappropriate timing not the IMMACULATE one which we all are used to... :)


Go with a smile, make us smile! :)
