Sachin's double hundred is not just another milestone. Its a voice that says, "People, look at my age, Nothing is impossible". Will power is what you need when the world is ready to write you off in the name of younger blood coming in.

He has given hope to a million more that it is not that tough being great, you just need to hang on (Of course luck cannot be counted out). 
My student mess was all united and dancing when Sachin scored the double hundred. I'm pretty sure India would have been the same at that moment in history. More than even when we got freedom. Looking back this question comes to my mind, "Who united India ?" The answer is there.
Long Live Sachin's spirit in India!
