Sabaash Dada!!

This is a congratulatory letter to Sourav Ganguly after he hit a ton in the ultimate series of his Test career. The words have flown from my heart rather than my mind. Also, the words are in Bengali but written in English alphabets so it might not be easy to decipher for everyone... PLz. excuse....


Dear Dada,
