The cricketer who sold his Ferrari

I only could think of one question "WHY??" Why did Master Blaster sell his Ferrari? It was gifted to him by a Legend himself - Michael Schumacher. You heard it right- GIFTED. And then selling away the same Ferrari is what I found, very ridiculous.. Today's Times of India front page photo-- "One legend meets the other" yeah, Sachin meets Roger Federer (respect!)... Years back when Sachin met Schumi, TOI had a similar front page article.. and an addition to it was the Superb Dream car FERRARI which Schumi gifted Sachin. Wow, wasnt that everyones reaction to the news.

          There would be two possible reasons for the WOW:
          1. Because it is a Ferrari, not any ordinary car which Sachin 'owns' now.
           2. Because he was GIFTED a Ferrari by none other than MICHAEL SCHUMACHER.
  Now, if someone like Schumacher would have gifted me a FERRARI, I would never ever given it away. Forget Schumi, even if Sachin would have given me a small pen, or an autograph, it would have been my most treasured possessions. Its all about RESPECT and ADMIRATION that we fans have for our Legends. This was not even like gifting the GIFT you have to someone else. He SOLD it!!!
         I had respect for Sachin, will still have for he is the only Indian cricketer I respect. But this is like NOT DONE! And our dear newspapers have put this news under the carpet. Even the ever pushy and sensationalizing Hindi news channels never came up with a 30 minutes Special about-- "Kyun Sachin Ne Apni Ferrari Bech Daali" or some thing like that. Anyway, a small letter to our Mumbai Blaster!

Dear Sachin, we would have loved to see that Ferrari running on Mumbai roads. Remember you did so much to clear the customs of the car. Why did you sell it. Dont just shove the news by saying "I have nothing to say on this". Please! Well, you would have had some level of attachment with the Ferrari right? I mean it was with you for such a long time and also because Michael Schumacher gave it to you :) It is too late to think about it, but I am sure you must have sold it after thinking a lot!
         I guess most of the fans would echo the same thought.
                    I guess Roger Federer did not give him a Rolex watch because Fedex reads newspapers :D :D
                                                                                                             Cheers!!! xo
