Wearing the Indian jersey, singing the anthem, and trying my best each time I stepped on the field - it’s impossible to put into words what it truly meant. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and with immense gratitude I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket.
Thank you for all the love and support! 🙏🇮🇳
"Jana Gana Mana" is the national anthem of India, originally composed in Bengali by poet Rabindranath Tagore, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.

You should cherish today's world.
It won't remain for long.
- humanoid robots aren't *everywhere*
- flying drones aren't *everywhere*
- can do work making you valuable to others without specialized/hard-won/secret knowledge (pre-40s)
- still legal to manually drive to go where you like
- distinct global cultures and languages still exist
- most people still share the same pre-/non-digital formative experiences
- there are no large scale wars or trade breakdowns between nuclear states or global powers
- assassinations are still mostly condemned
- boomers are still with us (extreme moderating force)
- millennial midlife crises over parent loss and childlessness hasn't yet begun (highly destabilizing)
- majority-minority demographic flips haven't yet occurred
