The Hindu salutes the maestro
PRINCIPAL CORRESPONDENT
Sachin —Tribute To A Legend chronicles his 100 centuries
Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar released a book published on his century of centuries by The Hindu Group of Publications. The function was held at the Mumbai Indians team hotel here on Tuesday.
The book, titled Sachin — Tribute To A Legend, was conceptualised after Tendulkar scored his 100th International century in the Asia Cup against Bangladesh in Mirpur on March 16.
Tendulkar, flanked by Mumbai Indians coach Robin Singh and captain Harbhajan Singh, expressed his gratitude to The Hindu after releasing the book on his 39th birthday.
“It gives me immense pleasure to launch this book. All the efforts taken by The Hindu mean a lot to me. Over the years, I have made a lot of friends and they are all dear ones. Our friendship has grown in a similar manner as The Hindu has grown. I cherish each and every moment I have shared with them,” said Tendulkar.
“Reading various articles and opinions (in The Hindu) has played an important role in my career. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for putting this book together in a matter of a few weeks. It's a mammoth effort and thank you very much,” he added.
The CEO of The Hindu group, Arun Anant, in a letter explained the concept behind publishing the book. “We thought this would be a fine gesture to have the book released by you on your birthday, April 24.
“We feel that this book will be a fitting tribute to your unparalleled contribution to the game, making India and the international cricket community proud,” said Mr. Anant.

The book is a rich collection of extracts from published reports of all the matches in which Tendulkar scored his International centuries.
Besides, it has some rare pictures of the batting maestro and a range of interesting statistics.
The book also features five of the finest interviews with Tendulkar, published in The Hindu and The Sportstar.
“The narrative of the 100 hundreds concerns itself primarily with Tendulkar, the batsman.

namma booka naamale release pandradhellaam meah...
Cong proposes Sachin's name for Rajya Sabha
Thalaiva, pls no :|
aaNiyE pudunga vENaam! After cricket, no politics, no BCCI
Congress for clubbing him with Rekha for the same honour...apparently he even acceded to it :banghead:
Adei!!! intha manushana cricket aada vidungada......hopefully he outrightly rejects it...
@ wiz avar eppo accede pannaru intha vishayathukkku....athu engayum kurupidilaye......
^NDTV sources never been wrong on issues pertaining to Congress..he would be a party nominee :-(
http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/sa...sources-202815
I'm really surprised that he accepted it :|
Rajya Sabha member is a dummy post. Almost like an honorary position and just given to popular names. I bet he wouldn't even have the time to step in Rajya sabha.
wizzy he is not a party nominee.... if accepted, he will be a president appointed, representing India and not any partyQuote:

now it is official Sachin Tendulkar M.P ..Sanju Manju gets the first cheap shot by linking his leadership skills to this

However, commentators on the game were less enthusiastic in their response. Sanjay Manjrekar, a former team-mate of Tendulkar's and now a media analyst, said he was shocked at the news, because he could never have imagined this to be how Tendulkar wound down his career. "My only fear is that this man is not suited for the kind of role he is being given. Until now, I've seen no sign of that. Even when the contracts dispute was on, when a players' association was being formed, it was Anil Kumble in the forefront." Manjrekar also wondered how Tendulkar would balance his cricket and commitments as an MP.
Harsha Bhogle had a similar opinion. "I don't think it is the greatest idea. He doesn't have the experience of governing or doing social work. People are trying to gain mileage out of Tendulkar."
Ivallo nadanthirukku sachin kittaerndhu oru sathhamun illaye....i will be very very surprised if he accepts this
Sachin Tendulkar confirmed as MP. President has approved the petition.
Sachin, " Kadaisiyila ennaiyum arasiyala kondu vanthittale" :rotfl2:
Next PM sachin vazhga... :banghead:
Enna ezhavu idhu? Oru hair-um seriyilla. Ambaari function, IPL, hair coloring (WTF!!!!!), ippo idhu :banghead: :disgusting:
:shock: Is this dude for real? :huh:Quote:

My first ipl game against a rajya sabha member ;) Hope the weather holds n we get a full game today.
already peeps are linking this to Jayasuriya's tenure as MP..more torture awaits in combox
I am not happy with this. For his achievements, even a president post would not justify it. Would be happy if he becomes the president. Sachin for President :yes:
he will go with his priorities master.. naama namma veetu pillaiya nenakkathaan mudiyum, adhukku mela naama solradhaala onnum nadakka poradhilla, nadakkama irukka poradhum illa.. he has to plan his life after retirement as well no.. just because we are his fans, our priorities will not become his priorities.. it just happens, sit back and relax :)Quote:

I'm just wondering how did he accept this offer as he generally tends to stay away from these things. Guess he felt this is a honor and said yes (just like he was given a honorable post in Air Force), not as a retirement plan. I'm more disappointed that he gave room to his detractors to talk rubbish.Quote:
