THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
1.COURAGE CONQUERS FEAR--- Believe in yourself, You can do better than what others expect from you, 85 + international hundreds were not dreamt off a decade ago. 2. READ, ANALYZE & ACT ---It is important to have a plan B. Sometimes things dont go as planned, analyze the situation before reacting to it, like every wicket is not a 300+ wicket similarly every war cant be won. 3 .KEEP THE FIRE BURNING--- No matter what height you reach, sky doesnt have a limit, there's always scope for improvement, remember you are as good as your last Innings . 4. A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS IS JUST A DEAD PIECE OF WOOD --- Keep your feet firmly rooted to the ground, its easy to get carried away by success, greats dont let it get to their head. 5. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS --- Keep your tongue where it belongs (firmly in your cheek) , your acts can make people look at the mirror and introspect, harsh words merely reflect frustration .
7. KEEP IT SIMPLE ---- The simpler you are, the lesser are your chances of messing up , Style fades away , simplicity is always in vogue . 8. TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY ----Take the responsibility and act accordingly, 91 in 190 odd balls can make you look very very ordinary, but if it helps in the bigger objective(Winning) then its worth it . 9. BE PATIENT --- Rome was not built in a day , 29 Thousand runs were not made in a single series , when it took 19 years for Sachin to achieve all this , what makes you think you can make a difference in a day, week, month or year . 10. KEEP ON MOVING ---Failure is a part of life, and like success you shouldn't allow this to affect you either, one chance, one, year , one world cup. It doesnt mean the end of the world.
6. TOUGH TIMES DONT LAST, TOUGH PEOPLE DO ---- There are highs and lows in everyone life , You have to be strong when the time demands it .
SACHINISM
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar , If you have watched the game
like I have, the name evokes a thousand emotions. If you choose to go by what international cricketers say, you'll have to think that he evoked an equal sense of awe from opponents and fans .alike. What is it then, about this person, that even when he is going low, and most of the, so called, "experts" given .up on him, his contemporaries still believe, his fans still cheer. Is it that they know him better? For the former it's .quite possible, but the latter? Obviously it has all to do with blind faith. Faith in the man they call God, as insane as it .may sound. It's obvious that this man is just another man, a mortal like you and me, just gifted with something we .can only dream of! The gift which made people like Bradman and Richards take notice. And notice, not after two .decades at the top, but notice after barely one year into his debut season! At the face of it, one would be inclined to .say it was the genius which was so evident. After all, its not everyday that a sixteen year old hits a veteran leg .spinner for a hat trick of sixes! That seems so long ago now. Maybe because it indeed was a long time ago. Eighteen .years. It's been a long journey. A journey which has seen him spend three very important phases of his life playing .international sport. His teenage, youth, and now his middle-age. Taking the good with the bad, learning at every .step, with nothing but the goal in mind. It had "success story" written all over it even twenty years ago, when he was .a fourteen year old boy making his Ranji Trophy debut. Yes, he is the greatest youth icon that our country has .produced. Yet it's not the enormity of his achievements on the cricket field, which sets him apart. It's the way in which he has achieved it. His records will not last for ever. Some young turk or turks will eventually get to them, no doubt. But will they be broken in the manner that they were set? That's a very tough possibility. The very fact that these records were attained while dealing with stardom, public scrutiny (the kind world leaders would rarely face), criticism and acclaim, at an age when most people just get started makes him incomparable to any living mortal. The legacy that he would eventually leave behind for his fans and followers, thus, is not the records, but something even greater. It's what defines Tendulkar to them, to us. It's not the destination, but the path. This is what makes him appear akin to God for his "followers". A genius, yes. But God? Still, it sounds as insane as it did before! But, now, it becomes important to see it from their point of view. God, not for any supposed super human capabilities or immortality. God, not because of his seemingly impossible achievements. But God because in all his time under the limelight he has refrained from displaying any sort of human weaknesses. The kind his two greatest contemporaries, Brian Lara and Shane Warne, often fell for. It wasn't their fault. It's the sort of temptation that fame and fortune brings with it, and ordinary men can do nothing but bend in front of it. And the fact the Tendulkar could makes him an example for what "we all want to become", to quote Andrew Symonds. And if that perfection is not divine, then I don't know what is! For a lad who made his Ranji Trophy debut at 14, he has been a household name for quite some time. For twenty years he has seen it all. Highs, or lows, they cease to surprise him any more. He has attained a place in not only Indian cricket, but in world cricket, which only few like Bradman and Sobers have attained. Thus it is sad, that when he finally does hang up his boots, his greatest achievement, and his greatest gift to us all who admire him, is in danger of going totally unnoticed. The achievement that should be held aloft at highest pedestal one can afford him, the lesson that he has taught us all, the lesson that every rising star should follow, something his fans, or followers, like to call Sachinism! To stare fear in the eye, to dare and defy any restrictions posed by a challenge, to keep a level head no matter what, to not get distracted, to focus on nothing but the goal, and to give a hundred percent to whatever you do and do it sincerely, so that you don't have any regrets when its finally over, and the curtain comes down. Because nothing is impossible. Because there is no limit to what you can do. Because to be the best is all that matters. Because every adversity is another challenge, and every challenge another opportunity. When Sachin is at crease, we sit with full of relief ; Sachin is God: Sachinism teaches us One Nation n One Belief
respondents .
Among sportspersons a majority of those polled choose Sachin Tendulkar 75% in Kolkata, which is not shocking considering the citys craze for cricket; and 68% in Delhi and Mumbai. Likewise, Indian cricket captain MMS Dhoni who is also the skipper of Chennai Super Kings and has a huge fan following in Chennai, according to the survey, came second. Yuvraj Singh also makes an entry here at the third position, which might just put automobile company Fiat at ease since they have just chosen him as the brand ambassador for its new hatchback, the Punto. Do You Know ? Opus, the London-based company will shortly release a book revealing Sachin Tendulkar's thoughts on his achievements.
But all is not lost for sportsmen from other fields. In the survey, a lot of respondents felt that sportsmen who are not cricketers but achievers from other sports such as shooting, boxing, golf and hockey, and have bagged important medals for the country, make for good brand ambassadors. And they have Chennai backing them. 100%
And Chennai again steps in with strong views when it comes to remuneration of endorsers. When asked whether astronomical endorsement remuneration for cricketers and Bollywood stars are justified 95% of respondents from Chennai answered in the negative. Overall too, 52% of respondents felt that celebrity brand endorsers should not be paid exorbitant amounts. The only anomaly was shown by Delhi where 62% respondents felt that the amounts are justified.
But last and definitely not the least, respondents came up with the top brands endorsed by celebrities Boost, Lux, Airtel, Nokia and MRF. And the secret behind Boosts energy is now well known, isnt it?
Peter Rebouck(Aussie Journalist)- On a train from Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt in one of the stations. The train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Sachin was nearing century, batting on 98. The passengers, railway officials, everyone on the train waited for Sachin to complete the century. This Genius can stop time in India!
But overall cricketers were preferred over other sportspersons such as Saina Nehwal, Abhinav Bindra and Jeev Milkha Singh. The lone contender though is Sania Mirza who came fourth as respondents thought that she adds value to the brand she endorses.
of the respondents from Chennai felt that these sportspersons should be encouraged to become brand endorsers.
When asked to name the top three individuals as brands from any field respondents mostly chose cricket and Bollywood. Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan were a few of the names that came up instinctively. But surprisingly, respondents also thought that social activists too make for good brand endorsers. Unfortunately, business leaders and politicians figured last in the list. .
blaster Sachin Tendulkar has been voted as India's role model of health and happiness in a countrywide survey initiated by a
magazine.
'Complete Wellbeing'
But if payment of income tax is any indicator, the little master is still way ahead of all other Indian cricket stars when it comes to earnings. Dhoni is a distant second, though catching up, in terms of tax paid, while Virender Sehwag is third.

SACHINISM.COM
Straight Drive:
Over a span of 19 years that Sachin has dominated the cricket world, he has earned as many fans off the field as he has earned on the field people have fallen for his humility, sweet yet caring talks and that ever pleasing smile. His straight and simple persona has influenced even his worst critics and rivals in the professional world; which goes on to speak volumes about him as a person. He is rich. He has been in media glare for most of his life. And yet, there is not a single controversy (the ones that haunt the rich and the famous) which is worth mentioning about this player. No wonder a British Newspaper called him GOD. As a person he is very much like his favorite shot on the ground a Straight Drive!
And yet, I chose to introduce him in a rather unconventional way because that is precisely what he has meant to the game of cricket beyond his talent and his records the spirit of a perfect sportsperson passion, commitment, discipline and a never ending urge to perform.
Sweep:
With that kind of a personality and the charisma that he welds with his willow; he has wooed a nation of a billion cricket crazy people. In a country where cricket is religion and new stars are discovered everyday, it is unimaginable how this genius has managed to hold on to the attention that he had grabbed sixteen years team. May be, that is the reason why he is a genius. A single raised finger that proclaims Sachin out breaks a billion hearts in the country. A survey suggests that the Happiness Quotient of India is up by three percent when Sachin scores a century. Need I say more to justify that this man has swept all cricket lovers off their feet and guess what he has been doing this for the last nineteen years without fail!
Cover Drive:
His cricketing abilities need no words to be described. Over the years he has always let his bat to do the talking. A perfect gentleman on the field, he conducts himself with an exemplary attitude. A cool demeanor and a disarming smile and you can easily take him for a rather gentle player of the game. Not so when he welds his willow. Ask the best bowlers of their worst nightmare and you would realize the king of devastating effect that he can have on his opposition. A British Newspaper had this to say on his batting prowess Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting, because even God is not looking any where else then. On his day, he can murder any bowling attack, ruin the statistics of the best bowlers in the business and make the entire opposition run for cover. And he has been doing this for many years at a trot now. And he has been doing this without the slightest of arrogance for many years at trot now.
Flick:
Cricket did exist before Sachin and will definitely do so beyond him. But Sachin will always be remembered as a phenomenon that happened to the game. With respect to crickets entire history, this Indian Batsman might just be a flick; but a flick good enough to mesmerize an entire nation and enthrall every lover of the game on his day. What is even more wonderful is that he does it equally well off the field also. Cricket, after all, is a gentlemans game.

What Sachin Has to Say about it Its after youve asked me that Ive checked with (Team India physio) John Gloster, who was there at that time. Well, he has now confirmed that Radcliffe had indeed been in the queue, a bemused Sachin told The Telegraph. Speaking shortly after arriving here in the afternoon, Sachin added: When there are that many autographs to sign, one keeps obliging without looking up. Unless, of course, somebody says something, Obviously, he (Radcliffe) didnt say anything. Next time, perhaps, Sachin may look up once in a while. Just in case.

Sachin & Anjali Tendulkar: On and Off the field ....The Jodi No: 1
A maharashtrian boy who is a legendary cricket player and the girl is Gujrati a doctor by profession ... they met and after dating for few days they decides to tie knot....and today they are one of the most picture perfect and ideal couples for the GenX.... yes we can say ...JODI No.1. We are talking about master blaster Sachin Tendulkar and his better half Anjali Tendulkar... Daughter of industrialist Ashok Mehta and his British wife, Anjali is four years elder to Sachin. But the age difference did not deter Sachin from proposing to her ...going beyond the boundaries of age factor ....The two met through common friends and before they knew it, they decided to tie the knot. This superstar of Indian cricket has all most all the records to his credit on the field...yes who can forget Ferrari 360 Modena that was gifted to him by none other than F1 star Michael Schumacher.....though according to Sachin ..Anjali has given him the best ever gift i.e their two childrens..... Sara and Arjun ..... Both Anjali and Sachin have another humble side of their personalities...and very few people know about it....they sponsor 200 under-privileged children every year through Apnalaya, a Mumbai-based NGO associated with his mother-in-law...... Though the great master is reluctant to speak about this, or other charitable activities, choosing to preserve the sanctity of his personal life despite the overwhelming media interest in him. But this cool and music loving couple loves their privacy and prefers being so low-key that... so far no journalist has ever succeeded in doing an interview with Anjali on and about their marriage.....It is rumoured that he even refused to appear on the Simi Garewal show..... Sachin Tendulkar has many new milestones to archive and defiantly with a wife like Anjali he surely has miles to go..........we can say on and off the field....Sachin and Anjali Tendulkar are the Jodi no.1.......

Sachin Tendulkar "There is no way Test cricket is dying. Twenty20 cricket is the dessert and you can't survive on that. Who wants to eat only desserts? Test cricket is my main course, with all the meat and vegetables, and then it is nice to have Twenty20 as a dessert," Tendulkar said. The master batsman, who has earned crores in endorsement deals over several years, said he worries about the runs he would get and not about signing of lucrative contracts. "I started playing cricket at six with a tennis ball not because I wanted to be a millionaire but because I loved cricket. Maybe in 10 years or even now people will pick up cricket bats thinking only about the huge money in Twenty20 cricket. "Money should just be coincidental. The passion and the desire are the most important thing. I worry about runs, not contracts," he told the magazine.

"You have to allow your instincts to take over, trust me, your instincts are 99 per cent right but, you know, the older I get the more I realise how important your breathing is to good batting. By that I mean, if you focus on breathing and relaxing, you can force yourself into a comfortable place to bat," he declared.
Harsha Bhogles One Liner Ind vs Aus 2000 icc knockout champioship played in kenya. Sachin was smasing all aussie bowlers, and then he his a superb off drive off lee. Harsha : " This innings by Tendulkar has been a beautiful garden, the last shot being the most beautiful flower in it "

It's almost 20 years since that day, and the marvel about Tendulkar is now not so much about his record-breaking feats as his longevity. Heck, twenty years transcends a couple of Ten months earlier Tendulkar had generations at least. There have been 15 cricketers who have not been chosen for the tour of played 20 years or more and in the West Indies despite scoring the early 20th century, centuries in his first Ranji, Duleep England's Wilfred Rhodes's and Irani Trophy matches career stretched to a whopping Tendulkar at his debut against pak in 1989 because the selectors feared he 30 years and 315 days, but might be hit by pace bowlers and nobody has had the workload as Tendulkar who has played lose confidence permanently. But in many ways -- some of 159 Tests and 425 one day internationals. which have been examined by Tharoor and Shaharyar in the This makes for arguably the most extraordinary story in book -- a tour of Pakistan was even more daunting. Indian sport, and while every fact is well known, is still only half told. The other half should come from the man himself. Tendulkar recalled how jittery he was before his first innings, For the sake of posterity, I insist, Tendulkar must start living but I can vouch his teammates were perhaps even more his life again, as it were. nervous. Concern over Tendulkar reached a crescendo on the

"Chandu Sir guided me through the difficulties a 16 year old was expected to undergo on his first appearance on a foreign tour. He told me how to improve upon mistakes without disturbing my natural game technique and instincts," Tendulkar said last night, in an overwhelming expression of gratitude to Borde, who served Indian cricket in various capacities. Tendulkar recalled Borde's contribution to his shaping as a cricketer on the debut tour and said the gentle way in which the former all-rounder gave him useful tips in the nets boosted his confidence. "What Chandu Sir did for me then came from his passion for the game.

The felicitation of former India captain Chandu Borde on his 75th birthday here saw batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar reminiscing his 1989 debut tour of Pakistan where Borde, as the coach, introduced him to the cricketing world.
The Master Blaster arrived by a Kingfisher aircraft from Mumbai on Saturday and drove to Bhatkal in a convoy of cars and attended the marriage. Early this morning he left Bhatkal and arrived in Bajpe airport and took a flight and went to Mumbai. According to the police the Master Blaster was supposed to visit the Kukke Subramanya Temple for a darshan of his favourite diety Lord Subramanya but his hosts had advised
The number of runs Sachin scored till 11th Feb 2009 in Test, ODIs and First Class cricket are equal to a distance of 1450 Kms. We should remember that the length of the pitch between the wickets is just 22 yards!"

Well, it was just waiting to happen. Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar finally lost his cool and reacted sharply to former cricketer Ian Chappells criticism. Ian Chappel has been unfair to Sachin on more than one occasion. He blasted Sachin in several of his columns. Recently Chappell wrote, "Sachin only plays for records. Its high time he should realise the damage he is doing to Indian cricket. Now he should just retire from cricket".Known for his dignified silence, Sachin finally decided to give it back to Ian Chappel. Sachin said, "Some people indulge in such remarks only to gain popularity. Ian Chappel has no knowledge of cricket"."When I started playing international cricket, I was 16 and used to play aggressive shots. At 26, my style changed and today at 36, I play according to the requirement of the team," Sachin added.
"Maybe he needs to change his opinion. There must be something very wrong with all the bowlers around the world that they have allowed me to score so many runs," he retorted. Buchanan had said before India's 2007 tour of Australia that video analysis of the Tendulkar reveals his footwork has become sluggish, especially early in his innings, making him vulnerable to short-pitched deliveries followed by a fuller one

A Drama Over a Week , Sachin & Kambli are still Friends Forever!
Tendulkar didn't stand by me: Kambli
One of Indian crickets most enduring friendships has developed cracks. Vinod Kambli blew the lid on his friendship with Sachin Tendulkar on a TV show that goes on air this week. According to an insider at the show, Kambli said his childhood chum Tendulkar didnt lend a helping hand during his downward spiral, which was also marked by self-destructive behaviour. We are very close... we were very close. He could have done a little more, but he didnt, he said in reply to a query on his friendship with Te ndulkar during a polygraph (lie detector) test which is part of the show. The Mumbai southpaw replied in the affirmative when he was asked whether Sachin is embarrassed to accept him as a friend now.
"Kharab laga hai sunke (It felt bad to hear)," Achrekar told. "Aisa ho hi nahi sakta, unka baat hota rehta hai. (It is not possible. I know they are in regular touch with each other)," said Achrekar, who speaks haltingly due to old age.
Kambli and Tendulkar's schoolmate Ricky Couto and his brother Marcus, who were both part of the controversial reality show, said their friendship will survive the current controversy. Ricky said: "During schooldays they must have argued hundreds of time, but after two minutes they were best of friends again. They are still good friends and it won't be affected because of this issue." Marcus said the two were still the thickest of friends. "Only last week Kambli had spoken to Tendulkar about attending his function to announce plans for his sports academy. Tendulkar told Kambli that he had his full support in the new venture."
There may have been TV and media reports about rift between Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli's old friendship but if the common friend between the two is to be believed, India's master-blaster has promised his friend to grace the occasion when the new Khel Bharti Sports Academy is being opened by Vinod Kambli within two months in Mumbai. "The invitation was extended to Sachin Tendulkar (now in England) on the day when Sunil Gavaskar delivered the inaugural Dilip Sardesai Memorial Cricket Lecture in Mumbai on July 2 and Sachin has promised to remain present, if he is in the city on that day", the common friend said on condition of anonymity.
Who says Sachin never scored a 100 at Lords? Sachin Tendulkar treated the Lord's crowd to a sparkling exhibition of batting as he crunched 125 runs off just 115 balls against a Rest of the World attack comprising Glenn McGrath, Allan Donald, Javagal Srinath, Anil Kumble and Brian McMillan. This match was played in July 1998, in order to raise money for the Princess Diana Memorial fund.

Lets see , about Sachins Target , what Harsha Bhogle has to say
Meanwhile Sachin Tendulkar, as clean a cricketer as any you will meet, has come public with the targets in his mind. I am intrigued because that is one thing he has never done in all these years. Yes, winning the World Cup is an ambition that everyone harbours and Tendulkar has made no secret of the fact that he yearns for it, but the fact that he has announced this target of fifteen thousand test runs is unlike him. He needs another 2227 runs to get there and even if he can retain an average of 50, it means another 45 innings. Over a long career he has averaged 1.64 innings per test so it would be pretty safe to work with 27 tests as the number he needs to play. I see two things coming in the way. First, his body needs to hold for that long and he has to maintain the resolve to go through more sets of rehab, something that gets increasingly difficult. Second, more critically, the BCCI needs to schedule 27 tests quickly enough. My suspicion is that we are looking at a minimum of three years; three injury free, good form years. It is a daunting target and one that I will be overjoyed to see surpassed.
Commit all your crimes when Sachin is batting. They will go unnoticed for even Lord is watching

He joined his contemporaries Brian Lara and Shane Warne but still he is the first Indian sports personality to be portrayed here. Tendulkar also caught up with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, who incidentally is a huge fan of the little champion. He also joined greats like Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras in the Royal Box to watch his favourite, Roger Federer, make history. He just has one little regret though: his plan of watching Michael Jackson didn't materialise due to the American icon's unfortunate, and unexpected, death. "You can say it struck a jarring note on what was otherwise a great trip. Michael Jackson's death came as a shock because I was actually looking forward to his concert in London," Tendulkar told TOI in an exclusive interview. "It was unnerving for me because I grew up listening to his music. I missed his concert in Mumbai, way back in 1996 because we were playing the Titan Cup final after five days. I was looking forward to this show." On the positive side, Tendulkar made his first ever trip to Madame Tussauds. "My family had been there before but this was the first time for me. It was a terrific experience. All the personalities there are special. Their precision and accuracy in producing the wax figure is unbelievable," quipped Tendulkar whose wax figure came up at a cost of 150,000. Yet another first for Tendulkar was catching up with Daniel Radcliffe. The Harry Potter star took Tendulkar's autograph at Lord's on his 18th birthday in 2007. But so engrossed was Sachin in obliging his fans that he didn't even notice signing up for Daniel. "I first met him when we were touring England in 2007. After the Lord's Test, we drove down to Nottingham for the second Test and it was there that I got a call from my wife, Anjali, who asked me about my meeting with Harry Potter. I said, no, I haven't met him. But she insisted I did because the statement had come from Daniel himself that he got his best birthday present. As it turned out, just before the day's play at Lord's, I was obliging fans on my way back to the dressing room. And when you sign autogrpahs you aren't always looking up at the person. So I missed the opportunity to meet him and say hello to him then. However, this time around I met him at Lord's during the T20 World Cup and I got a chance to say hello to him." A summer in London is incomplete without a trip to the Centre Court at Wimbledon. Tendulkar, who grew up admiring John McEnroe, made an appearance at the Royal Box to watch Federer make history. "I am a huge Federer fan, so obviously I was backing Federer. But at the end I didn't want a loser there." Tendulkar, who knows former champion Michael Schumacher and Australian Mark Webber on the Formula One circuit, hasn't had the chance to meet Federer. "I would love to say hello to him sometime somewhere," says Tendulkar. While he isn't too passionate about golf, Tendulkar enjoys following Formula One. But, after the limits on spending this season, this year's Formula One has been different. "To be honest, this year I haven't been able to follow much. And, this year, it hasn't been the same."

This is the final thing about genius and that innings. Respect. Next day, by the pool side of the Princeton Hotel, WorldTel boss Mark Mascarenhas throws a party for Tendulkar. Friday, final day, is his birthday and it strikes you starkly that as he turns 25, he has more centuries (14 in one dayers, 16 in Tests) than he has years in front of his name. Meanwhile, in a corner the conversation goes something like this: Border: It's scary, where the hell do we bowl to him. Ian Chappell: Yeah mate, but that's with all great players. Border: Well yes, but imagine what he'll be like when he's 28.

Harsha Bhogle released a book on Sachin on his 35th birthday. The 300-page hardbound book,"Tendulkar" contains several rare photographs of the master blaster, including those from his childhood days.

Finish the argument, close the conversation, end the discussion about Brian Lara. The Aussies insist. Mark Waugh says, "Sachin's better; Lara is more risky outside the off stump." Shane Warne adds, "Nothing affects Sachin, Brian lets things bother him." Steve Waugh then takes the debate to a higher plane with one statement, a grand canyon of a compliment actually: "In history Sachin will go down as second to Bradman." What he's saying is this: Tendulkar owns the present, and perhaps one day will surpass the past as well. It is too early to go further, but this much can be said already. His average in Tests at 54.84 is already higher than those of Greg Chappell, Vivian Richards, Javed Miandad, Lara, or Sunil Gavaskar. But it's not just that, it's not either the awesome truth that in 61 Tests he has 16 centuries, while Richards got 24 in 121 Tests. No, statistics are not the scale to judge him by; it is in the stories that the bowlers tell, the men who stare at him down 22 yards. Listen to Warne: "You have to decide for yourself whether you're bowling well or not. He's going to hit you for fours and sixes anyway." Kasprowicz has a superior story. During the Bangalore Test, frustrated, he went to Dennis Lillee and asked, "Mate, do you see any weaknesses?" Lillee replied, "No Michael, as long as you walk off with your pride that's all you can do." There is no one thing to greatness. It is physical, alertness, technique, wisdom, humility, patience, vision, but more a confluence of these in one surging river of genius. Tendulkar, five centuries in his last 12 Test innings, but not yet arrived at his peak, is a river bursting its banks. What doesn't he have?
He is calm, the impulses from his brain bringing the message to the body never impeded by tension or indecision. When he does this, he gains something: time. Other men look rushed, he unhurried and able to play any shot he desires, arrogant hook or artful slide. He has vision or what Chappell calls "peripheral awareness", a man who without looking already has a map of the field logged into his brain. He has technique, says Ravi Shastri, meeting the ball under the chin and the eyebrow where timing comes sweetest. It is so outrageous these gifts, to play with the abandon of a street thug and yet with the finesse of Michelangelo, that some men find it unreasonable. Master technician Geoffrey Boycott, so goes one story, actually called to argue when Gavaskar recently said that Tendulkar's technique was the best.

Hashim Amla Once Said "Nothing bad can happen to us if we're on a plane in India with Sachin Tendulkar on it."

He is short, a Maradona of a man at 5 ft 4 inch, and, like the footballer, blessed with a balance that all sport demands. He can see so well that as the ball leaves the bowler's hand, he has decided -- while lesser men are still deciding -where to go, back or forward. He is never wrong.
He has ... is there anything left? Yes, he has strength, in wrist, in thigh. The heavy bat helps. Still, says Warne, he has enormous power. "It's a bit discouraging. In India he ran down the pitch and hit me off the toe of the bat. It should have gone to mid-on but it went for a six." On that day in Sharjah, it was in evidence again. Gaekwad was stunned, for Tendulkar was running singles like a demon -- four 3s, fifteen 2s, thirty-five 1s -- yet hitting sixes (five of them) in between. "The running tires you, yet he was never out of position for a shot." "In an over I can bowl six different balls. But then Sachin looks at me with a sort of gentle arrogance down the pitch as if to say 'Can you bowl me another one?'" -- Adam Hollioke to a friend.
So what is it Tendulkar, what's the motivation, what moves you? Records? No. He just says, flatly, "It's the challenge that drives me." There is an understanding, a never articulated awareness among the abnormally gifted that records will arrive anyway. It is the situation to be mastered, the opponent to be numbed that pushes such men. It is elevating not oneself but an entire sport, it is stretching the envelope of possibility, it is all this desire that lurks within Michael Jordan and John McEnroe and Sachin Tendulkar. Eleven versus one on the cricket field is the Tendulkar fantasy. Says Shastri: "I have never seen such arrogance, such contempt for bowlers since Richards." Yet it takes work, talent bolstered by industry. Tendulkar will sweat at the nets on a line that troubles him. He would, prior to tours of the West Indies, get net bowlers to fire away at him from 18 yards. When he was told that like the Sri Lankans who discomforted him by bowling down the legside, Warne might aggravate him similarly, he went to the nets in Mumbai, snuffed the pitch where he expected the ball to land and asked the bowlers to bowl there. When Warne arrived, the greatest batsmen in the world awaited him. Ready. Now the search begins, in all earnestness, for the chink of daylight in his stance, the edge of weakness in his method. Tendulkar himself sees none. "I don't think I need to improve in any specific area, just generally." The Aussies are as unhelpful. Steve Waugh feels -- and check this for a weakness -- "his only danger is seeing the ball too well and going for his shot too early". Warne says bowl dot balls to frustrate him. Kasprowicz says, "Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours."
They know, Tendulkar knows there is no fragility apparent. As with all such men, it is only themselves who can prove to be the
Of that night some final stories remain. Chappell saying, "What would I want of his batting? Everything." And then finally, Ajay Jadeja, echoing us all: "I can't dream of an innings like that. He exists where we can't.
An Amazing Incident
17 year old Lavan Sagar from Hyderabad is living with a rare form of renal failure which retards growth. Since his childhood he has been an avid cricket fan and naturally a big admirer of Sachin Tendulkar. It thus came as no surprise when he told our volunteers that his cherished wish was to meet his cricket hero. When Sachin Tendulkar was visiting Hyderabad the foundation arranged for Sagar to meet him in his room at Hotel Taj Krishna. Sagar could hardly contain his excitement when he was introduced to the greatest cricketer of our times. He was bursting with questions about the game and the cricketer patiently answered them all. Having got over his initial shyness Sagar patted Sachins cheek and told him that he liked not only the style of his game but his smiletoo. When it was time to leave Mrs.Tendulkar gave Sagar a pat on his head and affectionately tugged his cheek. In response our little man like a true gentleman kissed her hand.

enemy; Tendulkar may nurture his genius or spurn it, the responsibility of greatness lies with him. It seems he understands that. He is surer now than before, less driven to petulant strokes or rakish indiscretion. That innings was just a reminder, a page from a book, that this is a batsman who was conceived under God's full attention. Imagine, what greater deeds remain, the other pages of that book are yet to be turned.

How did you feel when you came to know that you are a mod of Sachinism ?
That was really surprising and great experience. I just logged in to check the community,and found myself being invited. Being a mod for god's community is really fantastic and its a great privilege to me ,there was no second thought and I accepted it immediately

You have to allow your instincts to take over, trust me, your instincts are 99% right but, you know, the older I get the more I realise how important your breathing is to good batting. By that I mean, if you focus on breathing and relaxing, you can force yourself into a comfortable place to bat. And when the end does finally come Tendulkar says he will not resist it: I will know when it is the right time, I wont have to be dragged away I am the person who will make the decision and I will know whether I still belong. And what will he do afterwards? I would like to do something with the game. How will he adjust to life without playing cricket? It is a scary thought, he says candidly. It has been there for my whole adult life, it will be difficult, I have been around for a long time, I can imagine when I finish I will long to face just 10 more balls but you have to move away. Who will surpass Tendulkars record haul of runs? Bradman anointed Tendulkar the player who most reminded him of himself and picked him as the only modern player in his all-time XI. Would Tendulkar extend the same compliment to anyone? I would say Virender Sehwag comes closest to my style. What state will Tendulkar leave the game in when he does eventually retire? He made his name in Test cricket but he has significantly added to his fortune with the emergence of Twenty20 as captain of the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. There is no way Test cricket is dying, he says. Twenty20 cricket is the dessert and you cant survive on that. Who wants to eat only desserts? Test cricket is my main course, with all the meat and vegetables, and then it is nice to have Twenty20 as a dessert. But does he have any fears about the growing influence of Twenty20 cricket? I started playing cricket at six with a tennis ball not because I wanted to be a millionaire but because I loved cricket, he replies. Maybe in 10 years or even now people will pick up cricket bats thinking only about the huge money in Twenty20 cricket. Money should just be coincidental. The passion and the desire are the most important thing. I worry about runs, not contracts. Following the attacks on the Sri Lanka team in Lahore and those attacks in Mumbai, which prompted the IPL to relocate temporarily to South Africa, Tendulkar has seen terrorism pose an increasing threat to cricket. It was a horrible surprise I was shocked about what happened to the Sri Lankans. I always thought that sportsmen would be left alone and we wouldnt be targeted. Would he ever feel safe touring Pakistan again? It is not up to me to judge whether it was safe, it is up to the government to make those decisions once they have done their homework. And that would be enough? Probably, yes. A couple of hours after his arrival, a small band of mostly Indian students are now milling around the front of the store and attempting to take pictures of Tendulkar through the windows.

Supporting Wadekar, who led India to historic back-to- back series wins over the West Indies and England overseas in 1971, Tendulkar, in a letter to the former Test batsman, said the gymkhana, where he learnt his ropes as a young boy, needed Wadekar&aposs leadership qualities it its centenary year. "I am glad to learn that the Shivaji Park Gymkhana (SPG), which has produced so many cricketers for the state and the country, will be completing 100 years soon,"the champion batsman has said in his letter to Wadekar. "It is also heartening to see the tremendous progress made by SPG not only in cricket but in other sports like tennis, billiards and lots of indoor games too, especially in the last six years. "It requires sporting leadership and I hope that you continue to lead SPG as President in the centenary year too", Tendulkar has said in his letter to Wadekar. Wadekar&aposs former Mumbai and India colleague Bapu Nadkarni, ex- India skipper and selection panel chief Dilip Vengsarkar and flamboyant ex- India batsman Sandeep Patil have also written letters to Wadekar extending their support
Sachin Tendulkar - I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it's a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.

Tendulkar has also been lending a helping hand to the downtrodden in Tardeo in Mumbai for over 11 years now by providing clothes and other necessities to 250 children besides taking care of their complete education, including books, notebooks, shoes and school uniforms. Tendulkar has helped over 300 have-nots so far through the Dr. Agarwal Eye Hospital in Chennai since October 2004 to get their cataract and eye grafting operations done.The champion batsman said he was unwilling to talk about this aspect of his as he did not want to seek publicity from these causes. "Sachin is involved with 'Apnalaya' in Tardeo, Care Hospitals in Hyderabad and Dr. Agarwal Eye Clinic in Chennai, besides the 'Make Wish Foundation', which has been doing a remarkable job for over a decade."
Vision: Make this society a better place to live in! Mission: A little help in whatever possible way to all the needy people. There are lots of charities, Why one more ??? In every walk of life we meet several people who amaze us, motivate us and inspire us. One such name is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, the difference being, that this inspiration spans across several generations. A person who not just made us believe that Indians are good enough to be the best in the world, but actually went ahead and gave us an entirely new set of ethics which help us battle any situation. The teachings were instrumental in starting a new cult, which has now become a rage. Yes Sachinism is the way to a successful, satisfying and more meaningful life. His service to nation is incredible and might take centuries for one to match his inhuman talent and records, but little master is master of all celebrities when it comes to giving back to society and being unselfish irrespective of the richest sportsmen in the country. He has been involved in humanitarian deeds since quite some time and would continue to do his bit to help the underprivileged. Sachin dreams of an India which is more than just hope, and to fulfill it he is actively involved in various programs for social upliftment in various capacities .But since God cannot be everywhere its our responsibility to take the teachings further and ensure that no child remains underprivileged in the country. There are still lots of places which needs attention. Our motto is to make those places a better place and thats why we have started this. Sachin's hands starts with a vision that even if a handful of us contribute to the society to whatever extent we can, we can definitely make a difference. Please do remember that this is not a fan club but a TRUST formed by fans of Sachin inspired by his contribution to the society and following his foot steps. Also this TRUST is no way affiliated to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and the acts of the TRUST are purely based on the board and members of the TRUST. Unarguably Sachin Tendulkar is a silent crusader when it comes to charity. We have been following him since 18 years and he gave us all moments of joy and happiness that makes us proud to be born in TENDULKAR ERA.
Small acts of help can make a big difference but helping to make a big difference is not a small act!!

SYMPTOMS?
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to that ofregular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people can have diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. It can cause severe illnesses like pneumonia, respiratory failure and could worsen chronic medical conditions.
IMP
When Former FI Racer, Michael Schumacher announced he will be returning to the F1 Grand Prix circuit to fill in at Ferrari for badly injured driver Felipe Massa. It was a good news for all his fans. But he dissapoined everyone by finally calling of his return due to a bike injury. Emergency warning signals that need urgent medical attention Fast breathing or trouble in breathing or shortness of breath Bluish or gray skin color Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen Sudden dizziness , Severe or persistent vomiting Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
PREVENTION
Swine flu can be prevented and following precautions can safeguard us: Practice a high standard of personal hygiene - routinely wash hands with soap and warm water Wear a face mask/respirator in crowded places. Avoid/defer nonessential travel, especially to affected places; if necessary to travel, carry and use mask. Avoid spreading of germs - cough on your sleeve and not into your hand Avoid contact with sick people. If you are sick, then immediately report to the hospital and stay at home Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers to minimize infection risk. Air purifier can also be used to help reduce exposure to airborne germs. Get an influenza shot for now. Antibiotics do not help this infection since it is not from bacteria. The only medicines which help are antiviral.
TREATMENT
Symptomatic care is most important. You should ask your doctor about options. Those at high risk should strongly be considered for treatment with medication. (High risk patients include those with diabetes, heart disease, immune compromised

25th October 2007 A day I can never forget. A day when my dream came true. A day when time stopped still in the madhyama world. A day when I met Sachin Tendulkar !
Yes, THAT day!! how can I ever describe it ! that's the day when 25 became the most beautiful number and Hotel Maurya Sheraton , Delhi , became the most sacred place in the whole of India ! for that's the day and place on which I finally got proof that Sachin Tendulkar wasnt a myth . that he actually existed , in flesh blood and bones . that there actually was somebody who could change millions of lives everyday .our dictionary doesn't have words enough to describe what all happened to me that day ! There I was impatiently waiting for Him to come . fidgeting all around , unmindful of hunger , thirst or fatigue . not believing it all was actually happening . not believing that in a few moments Sachin himself would be in front of me .not believing that I could be so very blessed ! that's when there was some commotion in the main entrance of at mighty hotel .i rushed as I have never rushed... There he was , clad casually in a red T- shirt , blue jeans and goggles , an aura of power and peace emanating from him . he looked magical ! I stood rooted to the spot . couldn't move an inch . my voice died in my throat . the only thing I did was to look at his serene face . looking at him strangely filled me with immense calm and wonder . sense prevailed. I thought to myself " madhi , this is the one chance you have , go forward ". But my legs didn't want to move ! I stood transfixed .somehow though, I made a move. I thought, could it be this easy, just one more step and I will be standing alongside my idol ? I took that one step, it was the most laborious step I have ever taken . but then no other step changed my the way this one did , so it was more than worth it !!
I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me. I wanted him to know how my whole life and personality had been determined by his presence. I wanted to show him how much more than a great cricketer he was .i wanted him to know how looking at him made me feel blessed to be living and how I pray to god everyday for his happiness and peace . I wanted him to know that I learnt my biggest lesson, of being courageous enough to dream, from him ....i wanted to hold him ...to say thank you .... but I couldn't say anything .not one single word... I just stood there , feeling him beside me ,blessed to be breathing from the same air as him , watching at his hand trace our his signature and then watching him go away ! everyday since then , whenever I am sad or depressed , the thought of this amazing day fills me up with hope and happiness !! I get faith that as long as somebody like him is around , there is hope for this crazy world. I get reassured that if ever I feel that life isn't worth living I will only have to remember those few hours spent at Maurya Sheraton , to know how good dividends one can get paid to be alive .I hope others like me are also bestowed upon with such an honour and that they are sensible enough to value it . but more than any of this , I feel peaceful , serene , calm and happy from the very roots of my heart . I feel alive !!
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova -"Sachin was so focused. He never looked like getting out. He was batting with single-minded devotion. It was truly remarkable. It was a lesson."

There would again be plenty like me who would have missed the "model board exam" ( oh what is the wrath of the principle and parents when compared to the master dancing down the track and giving Warne the nightmares of his life? Nothing was comparable to it and nothing could have compensated missing it.) and sneaked into Chepauk stadium just to see the Little man take on the mighty Australians . There would be plenty like me who would have read the dependable "The Hindu" the moment we woke up after a match day, the habitual morning ablutions hardly being a priority. There would be plenty like me who when introduced to a girl who professed interest in cricket and actually remembered how much Sachin scored in the last match would immediately start believing in soul mates. There would be plenty like me who would have devoured every article about the Master ( Favorite being R. Mohan's ) and still feeling no adjectives could do justice to him. There would be plenty like me who would have expressed an undisguised scorn at the disinterest shown by the sis and the parents with their callous and blasphemous "I don't understand what the big deal is!!" There would be plenty like me who would have thought spending a whole three hours seeing the Little master striking a ball with a wood a life well spent. There would be plenty like me who would have stayed well late into the night just to catch the highlights after watching the full match in the morning. Sometimes watch a re run of the match again in the night. Finally there would be plenty like me for whom teenage life without Sachin would be almost unimaginable as The God Father without Don Corleone. Lets face it there are probably people like me out there for whom it was never really about India actually "winning". ( If Sachin plays and they win it would be just a "nice feeling". ) Who really cares about how many matches India actually "won" because of his contribution? It's like arguing Britney Spears sells more than Beethoven ergo Britney Spears is a better artist. Yes that's bad logic but logic, teenage life and Sachin didn't really go hand in hand.For some of us it wasn't really about winning at all.It is the realization how far we would have gone to just see him play that shot. Oh just to see him on the pitch. Oh the unbridled pure adulation for a man whose dismissal could break a billion hearts. Oh if there was heaven it would be just it. It's a moment of epiphany which plenty of people like me would have gone through. It wouldn't be banal to say "You can take Sachin out of the Indian team but can never ever take him out of some people's teenage life!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag might have arrived ... But for a school going kid, who bats in the streets and the maidans of our country, he still dreams to be a Sachin Tendulkar! Sachin's stance, style of play is what every kid on the streets of India wants to impersonate. Everyone wants a slice of the little genius. We found Sachin over 20 years back as a prodigiously talented teenager; even our mums loved him. The curly hair, the boyish looks, he was the kid in a man's world. In the 1990s, Sachin became synonymous with the Indian cricket team. When Tendulkar would be dismissed early in an innings the spectators in the stadium retreated, and the ones watching at home switched off their TV sets. For a million Indians, the word Sachin spelled hope. Sachin was also the only Indian batsmen whose game did not falter when playing on the hard and bouncy or seaming tracks abroad. He was at ease on all surfaces. He was one Indian batsman, whom we knew would never flinch in front of bouncers or short-pitch bowling. In the 1990s the Indian team did not win any Test matches outside the subcontinent, and the only consolation would be a Sachin hundred on foreign soil. Away from Tests, Sachin's attacking style of play made him an exciting proposition in the 50-over version of the game. Every time he was called onto bat, the expectations surgedanything less than a hundred was deemed as a failure. In the ODIs, Sachin played a number of memorable knocks, but one of his innings stands out. Remember the 'desert storm' in Sharjah in 1998, when he single-handedly took the Indians to the finals of the tournament, and then followed it by a matchwinning innings in the same. He psyched the Australians then and simultaneously mesemerized us. But for the champions, the real test is not only the numbers but the spirit as well.
Just days after his father's funeral death, Sachin returned to score a century in World Cup England 1999. Such is Sachin Tendulkar. The hundred that was dedicated to his father was testimony to his focus and a tribute to his commitment towards the Indian cricket team. In 2003 World Cup when the cricket fanatics were seething in anger, Sachin Tendulkar was called upon to do some firefighting on behalf of the team. When the master spoke, the nation listened, as he asked the fans to keep their faith. In the next few games India worked a turnaround chiefly on the back of some scintillating knocks from Sachin. The beginning of this decade saw the younger brigade in the Indian team come to the fore. As for Sachin, he never grew old, yes the bones creaked much more, and tennis elbow injury kept him down for almost a year. The master though never got tired of making centuries. After surpassing Don Bradman's record of 29 Test centuries, Sachin is now at 42 and still counting for more. He is also the highest run maker in both Test match cricket and ODIs. From a child prodigy to an institution of the game itself, Sachin has walked straight into the hearts of his fans and his team members alike. He is the senior member now, a person to whom everybody looks up to for all sorts of advice. Be it a technical flaw in the batting style of a way to deal with all the pressure on the cricketing field, Sachin Tendulkar is the man-to-go for all the members of the team. On the field or off it, Sachin soothes the nerves of his team members, by constantly joking and squeezing in humour in the tense dressing room atmosphere. The master is enjoying the success of the Indian team , something which he missed doing during the 90's. For the fans, he is the cricketer for whom kids have bunked school, the office-goers have feigned illness. After a hard day's work he is the one guy who has lit up the faces of the common man, with his breath-taking performances. Everyone relishes Sachin Tendulkar. His game, his smile, his humility has charmed one and all. At the age of 36, Sachin is still playing with the same passion, the same hunger that he had when he first held the bat to thrash a turning or a swinging ball to the boundary. All we can say is may the good work continue for a long time in the future. India@62 loves Sachin Tendulkar and asks for more!
