I hope he carries on for as long as he is good enough - and I can't see him not being for a while yet

Is Tendulkar's career now "complete"?

yeah, will agree with this assessment.
I guess Tendulkar is still fit enough and can turn the tables in a match. Sometimes i get envy of him and the mind blowing records he has got on his credit. I guess Indian Govt should honor him with a national award now. As far as his retirement concerns, i guess he's still fit enough to participate in few more series.

The ideal thing for him to do would have been to hang his boots after winning the worldcup on his home ground, it would have almost been like life coming a full-circle for him.
Having said that he still has the drive to play on and therefore he should keep playing for as long as he can becuase let's be honest the game of cricket would certainly be poorer without him and we all are just privileged to have been able to see him play.

A non existent one?

Would say this. And add that there's no such thing as a complete career.

...... and of course when he finally does stop playing his career won't be complete until he has taken the record for the heaviest and longest recently retired cricketer's autobiography, currently held by Steve Waugh

Thing is, the only thing deciding whether Sachin goes or stays is, well, Sachin. It's not as if he's just contributing enough to stay in the team like you'd imagine Ponting will from now on (at the very least, he has a lesser role). He's still India's gun. I find that more impressive than the mere fact he's scored so many runs or scored so many hundreds. Every time he walks out, he's still the wicket the oppo wants more than any other in the line-up whereas I bet very few bowlers feel that way about Ponting any more.
As an aside, he's usually so measured but it was awesome to see him lose his **** like he was a 21-year-old winning the cup. I bumped into him a couple of years ago in Adelaide Arcade, had a real bouncy energy about him. Inspirational.

Yup, that is what is truly amazing about him - be the team's most important player over a stretch of 150 test matches.

I'd still queue up to buy it. Sachin has to go down as the best player of the modern era. He is just one of those generational athletes like Tiger Woods, Michael Schumacher, Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan etc who comes along and makes everybody else look like amateurs. Record after record just keeps tumbling and I think he has set the bar so high no one is ever going to be able to clear it.

the bar so high in terms of??? runs scored? average per innings?? number of match winning knocks???

All of the above.
All though I think Lara can rest easy that his 400 will be safe.
