One of the most beautiful pieces I have read. Not from you. But ever.

There is a ring to every word that can only come when the writer is as observant as you are Sarthak. My eyes were doing the job of my ears and I am sure this doesn’t even make sense. You introduced me to that boy who will rule the roost in Tennis. I have been neglecting sport since long but now that you have endorsed, I will go and play some clips of Shubham.

On Shubham though, don’t you also feel that the ‘Shubhamness’ of character is much needed in this day and age of ultra masculine behavior everywhere? I know sport imitates life and there has to be a balance, but by God, just reading about the ‘Shubhamness’ injected calm.

I wasn’t able to focus at an important document. I came to the pantry to read your piece in silence. I couldn’t read your piece in silence because it was so so so so well written and so ‘soundy’.

Thank you for what you are doing Sarthak.

You know my current (and recent) relationship with cricket, but this was still a beautiful piece to read! More, please.

You are going to make me 'watch' the match. I'm content with cricinfo, but your writing is going to make me watch it.

Atleast the highlights. And even there I'll be conscious that there is something I have missed. Like the rythmic pause between the balls that gets lost in highlights
