Speechless and humbled. :)<br /><br />Health issues keep cropping up but I have learned to fight them, I don't get bogged down by them, they can slow me down but can never stop me. :)<br /><br />As far Rahul, yes he will surely be missed, there can be no one quite like him. Cricket feels incomplete without him. I saw two tests against New Zealand recently where Dravid was not a part of the Indian team and it didn't just feel right and for me personally, it will never be. Dravid's retirement is an irreparable loss to World Cricket. But I am sure he will give back to the game in one way or another which has given him so much. He can be a perfect Administrator Indian Cricket needs at this point in time. :) Akshay Kumar Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254072109005538953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277129531446299355.post-38816852727844355112012-09-20T05:16:35.641+05:302012-09-20T05:16:35.641+05:30Akshay.. time and time again I am awed and amazed ...Akshay.. time and time again I am awed and amazed by your inner strength and spirit and the mental toughness and passion you possess. Your determination to write a dedication to your idol Rahul in the most testing of times is unbelievable. Your passion is indeed unmatched. I am really proud of you.<br /><br />As for Rahul.. I think he will be missed every time one thinks about Test Cricket. He is an embodiment of dedication, calmness and fortitude. His contribution to Indian cricket and cricket as a whole is unparalleled and he made the game a delight to the eyes. And VVS Lakshman is indeed another magician who worked in tandem with Rahul to create some of the most unbelievable and endearing moments of Indian cricket. Test cricket will not be the same without these two. As usual, a brilliant post and a heartfelt one too.<br />Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138309630324239186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277129531446299355.post-76657598947346714422012-09-11T18:53:41.027+05:302012-09-11T18:53:41.027+05:30Yes indeed.

So I am no hero dear, you are being too kind. :) And yes, we were privileged to have Dravid in our team and serve the country as he wonderfully did for over 16 years, I grew up watching him bat so its very difficult for a Dravid fanatic like me, not to watch him play anymore. But yes, we have to move on. :)<br /><br />On the health front, yeah the fight is still on, not fully recovered yet, but I am doing things that I have to do, so the pain can subside anytime it wants but that is not going to stop me. :) I am due for my Doctor's appointment sometime in October, hopefully by then the pain will completely subside. I will definitely write about it if and when I completely heal from my condition, probably dancing and running are out of the question at this point, but cycling is the way to go, so I will be cycling more often. :) Thank you so much again for your care and concern, means a lot to me. :)Akshay Kumar Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254072109005538953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277129531446299355.post-59769670691421469122012-08-24T23:24:33.235+05:302012-08-24T23:24:33.235+05:30Yes, they have indeed.

I have been living with the pain since the past one year, 6 months before surgery and 6 months after, even now. So I invariably end up thinking about it even if I don't want to. It hasn't stopped me from doing what I have to but it has slowed me down to a certain extent, mentally not physically.
