Tendulkar proves that you never become bigger than your guru
Organizers of a recent under-12 cricket tournament at the Indian Gymkhana in Matunga did not get their hopes too high when they requested a busy Tendulkar to make an appearance to watch the final last Saturday. The final featured his 10-year-old son Arjun, who played for MIG Cricket Club against Vasai Cricket Club.

To the organisers' surprise, the batting maestro arrived well ahead of the prize distribution function to be presided by his coach Achrekar. According to Indian Gymkhana's enduring torchbearer K Satyamurthy, Tendulkar refused to budge before Achrekar arrived, saying, "let my guru come."
"Considering his schedule, there was only 30 per cent chances of him coming. I was touched by the man's manners. Achrekar arrived at 4 pm and Sachin escorted him to the presentation area. When Arjun saw him, there were no dramas. 'Hi Papa' was all the kid said," said Satyamurthy, who has served Indian Gymkhana as player and administrator.
Arjun won a prize for the biggest six of the tournament, hit during an earlier match and Sachin was keen to learn about the kind of elevation the ball got. When someone spoke in terms of "floors", the cricketing great was chuffed.
"When Arjun arrived to collect his prize, Sachin asked him to touch Achrekar's feet," informed Satyamurthy.
Probably, the finest part of the evening was when Sachin delivered a little speech, which according to Satyamurthy, went like this: "The winners (MIG CC) must try and retain their honour and to the losers (Vasai CC), it's not the end of the world if you lose one tournament. You should try and win next time. Always play the game sportingly; respect the umpire's decision. Remember, there is a God up there watching, so play the game in the right spirit."
Sachin Tendulkar does not have to play a ball to inspire a group.

Tendulkar: Chennai 100 my best
Mumbai: Sachin Tendulkar, on Thursday, rated the century he scored in Chennai against England that helped India chase 387 runs in the fourth innings soon after the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai as the best of his career.
“It was not about the Test match but about something which happened two weeks before that. Something that had happened in Mumbai. It was difficult to prepare for a Test (under those circumstances). It was gracious of England to come here,” Sachin, who alongwith wife Anjali, hosted a fund-raising dinner for the ‘Crusade against Cancer Foundation’ here.
Dr P Jagannath of the Foundation said the overall donations received had crossed over Rs 1.30 crore. Jagannath said a simple message from Sachin on his Twitter page was enough to raise the money in two weeks. (PTI)

Express News Service Posted online: Sat May 29 2010, 02:48 hrs
Pune : For Sachin Tendulkar, the game is of paramount importance. That’s why he chose to skip IPL parties.
Answering a query on whether the parties should be blamed for India’s debacle at the T20 World Cup, he said: “While the issue of IPL parties being a reason for the poor performance of the team is debatable, we all know that as players we need to be more responsible and get our priorities right... I cannot speak for others...I didn’t attend any of those parties, because for me it was more about focusing on the next game. Maybe that’s how I am.”
The ace cricketer, in the city to lay the foundation stone of the superspecialty building of the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, looked his casual best in a pair of blue denims and white shirt as he shared the dais with Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar, Pt Hridaynath Mangeshkar and the medical director of the hospital, Dr Dhananjay Kelkar.
Tendulkar said tournaments like the IPL might have increased popularity of the shorter version of the game, but test cricket would never fade from the scene.
Speaking on recently helping Dalbir Singh, with whom he played under-15 tournaments, by bearing the cost of his surgery, Tendulkar said, “I don’t do this for attention or adulation, but for the satisfaction that comes from helping someone.” He said he had always been involved in charitable activities but it was only recently that they were coming to the open.
Asked whether he would ever be part of the newly formed Pune IPL team, he said he hadn’t given it a thought. “Who knows what will happen in future? For me, it’s always the game. It was so when I started playing and it is today.”
Talking on being game-fit, Tendulkar said mental fitness was as important as physical agility. “This was the major reason I decided to quit T20 in 2007, as I did not feel I was up to the rigours of the game then,” he said.
Lata Mangeshkar was all praise for Tendulkar. “He is like a younger brother. I haven’t met him a lot but whenever we do, I always speak to him about the game and his enthusiasm for the same keeps growing with every match. I must confess, whenever I sit down to watch him play, I lose track of time. He is a Vishwa Ratna.”
Sachin praised Lata for the innumerable songs, all equally excellent, she had rendered making it tough to choose one as a favourite. But Tendulkar feels he can rate Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo as a favourite.
He also appreciated the work done by doctors at the hospital saying sportspersons just entertain people but doctors do a bigger job of saving lives.
The hospital building will be 18 storeys spread in area of 6,00,000 sq ft and cost Rs 110 crore. The hospital will feature nuclear medicine, liver transplant, cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, neurology and neurosurgery departments, plastic and cosmetic surgery, sports injuries and sport medicine, oncosurgery and laser surgery and urology and urosurgery departments.

It is alleged that the little master was offered a cool 5 per cent of the Kochi franchise (an approximate value of Rs 85 crore) as sweat equity. Reports from Pune also hint that he may be wooed by the Sahara Group. But Mumbai Indians and Reliance Industries are not ready to lose the biggest brand of them all. Tendulkar’s affinity for Mumbai is only too well known and it will be nothing short of a miracle if he is persuaded to move out of Mumbai.
