<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was Just like any Other Day in my Life before I saw a Tweet from Times of India which Read</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Moment I saw the Tweet I Made a Couple of Calls to my Friend Informing this News & asking them if anything can be done to meet Sachin This Time in Chennai. Throughout the evening my entire mind was occupied with the Thought of Sachin arriving to Chennai. Around 9PM on Thursday I saw Pics of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.9333343505859px;">Sachin arriving @ the Hotel </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19.9333343505859px;">on the "Hyatt Regency Facebook Page".

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Next Day Morning at 7am Myself & My Cousin Arvind Both Decided to go to Hyatt & wait in the Lobby to Try our Luck. We Reached the Hotel sharply at 7.45am & Waited till 9.15 am. There was no signs of Sachin till that point of time.. At 9.20 am we Decided to leave the Hotel & at the entrance we saw Glenn McGrath waiting for his Car. We both Went & Took Pics with him & left home. After reaching home at 9.45 am I Decided to Give it a Try by Going to the MRF Pace Foundation .

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.9333343505859px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I Googled for MRF Pace Foundation & Identified that it is Located in Chetpet. I Boarded an Electric Train at 10.25am & Reached Chetpet Station by 10.45am. I Enquired the Auto drivers at the Railway Station for Route to the MRF Pace Foundation, It was Around 2Kms from the Station. After Asking People on the Nearby Shops Managed to Reach the School by Walk at 11.20am. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.9333343505859px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Security at the Gate Stopped me at the Entrance, after convincing him that I am here to attend the MRF Event he agreed to let me in. I Walked for Half a Km inside the School Wandering for the Location of the Event. I Reached the School Ground & Saw around 50 Students Enjoying their Physical Education Period. I asked the Teacher there about the Venue. I could See from here that in a long Distance there was some Crowd, he asked me to go there. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.9333343505859px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was too excited & nervous since I am the only one walking across the school ground. When I Reached near the Venue where Sachin & McGrath were Interacting with Youngsters I could See a Small Fence In-between me (inside the School Ground) & the Place Where Event was Taking Place. I was Trying to Find out a Way to Cross that Fence & walked to a few Distance & there I saw a small gap in the fence & I managed to Cross it. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.9333343505859px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I Reached the Venue Gate, Sachin was about to Leave from the Venue. I could not believe my Eyes Sachin Tendulkar was just Standing just 10 Metres in front of me. I Tried to Click some Pics & also Tried Clicking Seflies.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We both Went to the Hotel at 3.45 PM & Again Waited in the Lobby. Time Passed by & we never Lost our Patience. After Waiting for 4 Hours we Decided to Go Home with Disappoinment at 6.45pm. At the Hotel Entrance I Saw the Same BMW Car, which Sachin Travelled from MRF Foundation in the Morning. The Driver was Waiting in the Entrance.. We Both went & asked him if Sachin is Still here . He said Yes & Also Informed us that he is Going out somewhere & he is Leaving in the 4am Flight Today ( August 22). We Decided to wait in the Entrance... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From 7-8.15PM there was Around 500 People Entering the Hotel to Attend some Big Wedding Ceremony.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Exactly at 8.30 PM Sachin Came Down from Some Unknown Secure Entrance & Boarded the Car. We Both Were Disappointed & Saddened that Despite so Much Of Wait we Could not Meet Sachin. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.9333343505859px; margin-top: 10px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We Both Suddenly Planned to Follow the Car & Ran to the Parking Area to Get the Bike. At the Same time it started to Rain Heavily. Nothing Bothered Both of us, all we wanted was to Meet Sachin. Before we came out of the Hotel the BMW was Long Gone. Despite Heavy Rain & Traffic Vinod Drived so Brilliantly that we Spotted the BMW at the Signal. We Both Followed the Car in Heavy Rain. The Car Stopped at his Friend's House which Was Surrounded by a Dozen of Police . We were So Frightened since we were following the Car & also Police were There.

I know that they have not been able to produce the kind of results or rather live up to the expectation of the people, but things can change," the cricket legend said in Mumbai.</p> <p>"This is the time that I feel the team requires support. When you are winning, you are in a good frame of mind but when you are not winning and when you know a billion people are behind you, with you, the mindset changes immediately. That is the need of the hour."</p> <p>"I have full confidence in our team. I am sure we will have a good time," said Tendulkar at the launch of the special edition of silver coins with his face, name and signature embossed on them.</p> <p>Of late, the Indian team has struggled with form, losing two ODI series against South Africa (lost 3-match series 0-2)and New Zealand (lost 5-match series 0-4) and failed to qualify for the final of the recently-held Asia Cup in Bangladesh.</p> <p>The batting great, who was a part of the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led squad that emerged triumphant in cricket's show-piece event in 2011 at home, recalled how the Indian team had struggled before finishing runners-up to Australia in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.</p> <p>"I remember in 2003, the New Zealand tour before we got to the finals (of World Cup) wasn't a great one for us. We went to South Africa and there were some matches that we lost. And then we all started thinking that we need to plan differently, play differently and it worked for us," said Tendulkar.</p> <p>"It is not about just the failures but the journey from failure to success and getting into the habit of winning, the things you are supposed to do. If you follow that process, the result takes care of itself. We just followed that process and we were able to get to the finals," he said.</p> <p>Tendulkar said he shared a good rapport with the youngsters in the team later in his career when he was its senior statesman.</p> <p>"I used to jokingly tell them you should wish me good morning sir. We shared a wonderful relationship. They all treated me like their elder brother. It was never a one-way traffic. I told them you have fun with me also. I used to pull their leg and they had the freedom to pull my leg. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with all the youngsters," he said.</p> <p>Tendulkar, the only player to score 100 international centuries during his 24-year career, conceded that scoring the last ton, after an agonising wait was tough due to the expectation and mounting pressure from all quarters.</p> <p>"(For the) first century there were no expectations and people were enjoying my batting. Even from my side I didn't know that there were 99 hundreds to follow. When I scored my 100th hundred, it obviously took a while.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8ctkrejW-UA/UyOwOZ0dSMI/AAAAAAAAXJM/OIUs7YrFOhs/s1600-h/ms%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="ms" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="ms" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-XiiRwvLpnpE/UyOwP8BwkrI/AAAAAAAAXJU/gvqZu3Lva5Q/ms_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="690" /></a>"So many times I got close to scoring the hundred and so many had written articles that I have to do this and that, not knowing that I have 99 (tons) behind me. So it is tricky as I felt both were important. Pressure of scoring the 100th hundred was hundred times more," he said.</p> <p>According to the 40-year-old more than scoring centuries, contributing to the team's success was far more important.</p> <p>"Scoring 100 hundreds was something that I never thought, I just wanted to go and bat for India and win matches. I remember one game against Sri Lanka at Cuttack and I was batting on 97 not out. I was on strike and the Sri Lankan captain had put all the fielders behind and when Dinesh Karthik was batting all the fielders were up.</p> <p>"He asked me what should I (Karthik) do? I told him what do you mean what should you do, you should hit the ball and finish the game. He asked if it was okay? "I mean if I am 98 not out and we win the game, we have still won the game and that is what we all play for. It is not about the hundreds but what we bring in as a team member. Sometimes, I felt I have scored 55-60 runs but they have had immense value, because that has set the platform for the team's victory," he said</p> <p>Tendulkar said during his intense practise sessions he concentrated on things that ultimately led to his own satisfaction.</p> <p>"Sometimes I was happy when I played just 25 balls. I knew that everything was absolutely fine. I need not complicate things. And that is when I wouldn't push myself and bowl to others and work with other players.</p> <p>"If I felt I should work on my forward defence, then I would work on my forward defence. It was all about what my heart told me. It was all about my satisfaction.</p> <p>"So many things are judged by others. The performance, the number of runs scored (etc) can be judged from outside, but satisfaction is always judged from within. No one else would know and only I would know whether I was satisfied or not. It all boiled down to that."</p> <p>"I remember once we went to New Zealand and were playing a couple of T20 games before the ODI series started. I requested BCCI that I will go with the team and practise there for six to seven days. And I requested Gary Kirsten (then coach) to put up a bowling machine.</p> <p>"So whatever number of deliveries the entire team batted, I batted the same number of deliveries facing bowling machines, by myself. It was about my own satisfaction and not the number of hours or minutes or the number of balls that I faced," he explained.</p> <p>The creator of a plethora of world records in Tests and ODIs said he admired West Indies legend Viv Richards but decided not to emulate him after an unsuccessful attempt.</p> <p>"I did watch once (a video of) Vivian Richards's technique the previous evening (before) going in to bat. I was trying to pull everything and hook everything. That is when I decided I am just going to watch, but not try and emulate, and that in the next innings, I needed to play the way I know.</p> <p>"They always will be your heroes and heroes would continue to be your heroes in whatever stage of life you are in. You have immense regard for them. It is always nice to watch their innings, but one thing I knew was that I should not try to play like that," Tendulkar said.</p> <p>Tendulkar said he did not keep a tab on his peers but just looked at how they scored runs and picked up wickets.</p> <p>"No, I would not obviously follow the score book, ball by ball, what is happening with Australia-West Indies match or New Zealand-England, whatever. If somebody scored runs then you would see who scored runs and how did he bat. If somebody bowled well then watch that spell.</p> <p>"If we play against this bowler, this is probably what he might end up doing against us, so prepare accordingly and also think about the next series and those kind of things."</p> <p>Asked about the innovative shots and the way the game has been changing, the Bharat Ratna recipient said, "Like any other sport, cricket is also changing. The shots (being) played today, I don't think anyone was playing those shots in 1980 or 1990 or even 2005.</p> <p>"When Andy Flower started reverse-sweeping consistently and played that in Test series when he came down to India in 2001, I felt he was 10 or 12 years ahead of the other batters as far as playing that shot was concerned.</p> <p>"Amit Mishra was bowling in England to Alastair Cook outside the off stump, and Cook actually had to play a couple of reverse sweep shots which, I don't think, any batter would have played in the 1980s.</p> <p>"As the time goes on you are prepared to try out new things and have a new approach towards the game. Changes are going to take place. You just have got to accept that. If cricket was played differently in 1940s, players from 1960s or 1970s played differently. Similarly, that cycle is going on. Changes are inevitable."</p> <p>Tendulkar had a fair share of being at the wrong end of dubious umpiring decisions during his illustrious career but did not hold any grudge against the erring officials, some of whom had even come later to him and apologised. "I did (vent my anger). I am a normal person and I have ways to take my frustration out. There were times when I got angry and doing that on the field was not the right way to handle things. I didn't get carried away with anything if somebody has made a mistake.</p> <p>"There have been times when umpires have come to me and admitted their mistake. I don't hold any grudge against them. It takes a lot to come and say that you have made a mistake. The best result out of that is you continue to remain good friends and that is what is important to me," Tendulkar said.</p> <p>Tendulkar said he was enjoying his retirement from the game and was able to spend more time with his family.</p> <p>"Life is relaxed. I am getting more time to spend with my family. In the last 24 years I did get (time with family) but it was (always) in the back of my mind that I had to go to Chennai or Bangalore or Kolkata to play a match and (then) you start preparing yourself.</p> <p>"Your mind is always preoccupied on how you are going to bat or play in a particular series. But now I don't need to think those things and I am having quality time with my family. I have played cricket with my son but not with the season (cricket) ball," he said.</p> <p>Tendulkar said he has no regrets or unfulfilled ambitions. "We had won the World Cup, won IPL, won Champions League (as Mumbai Indians team member), won Ranji Trophy (as Mumbai player in 2012-13 season) and won the last Test series (against West Indies) also.</p> <p>"We became the world number one Test playing nation at that time when we won the World Cup. That journey itself was so fantastic. We all worked so hard and pushed ourselves. Before I retired, we were the number one Test playing nation.</p> <p>"So I don't think I have got any complaints from cricket or any regrets that I should have done this or should have done that. I thought I was able to do everything. When I decided that this would be my last tournament, God was kind enough to give me something special."</p> <p><strong><font color="#000000">© PTI</font></strong></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

I wished he should play other sports like golf in which he will do equally well,” Mangeshkar, who was accompanied by the cricketer at MNS chief Raj Thackeray’s residence in Mumbai, told reporters.<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Retired cricket great Sachin Tendulkar today said he was fascinated by the way visually-impaired play the game he dominated for close to two-and-a-half decades, adding that has learnt a few things from them. "I inaugurated the blind cricket tournament about 14-15 years ago in Mumbai and I was fascinated by the way they play cricket, because you just hear and react to that. And you score runs and get wickets and you feel all those kinds of things. They are unbelievable and I was fascinated to see all that," Tendulkar told PTI here today.<br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"It was a new experience for me and I learnt a few things from them. I was glad to be there and this was immediately after we had won the Ranji Trophy and the next day it was a different form of cricket. Two different things but the crux of the whole thing is that they are as passionate about cricket as we are and that is what matters," said the 40-year-old cricket legend.</span><br />

The two new special awards - Cricketer of the Generation and Contribution to Cricket will add to the six categories announced earlier. Besides Tendulkar and Sehwag, West Indian Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka, Australia's Shane Warne and South African Jacques Kallis will also be in fray. A 50-member jury of current and former cricketers and leading sportswriters will pick the best. <br /> <br />The winner of the 'Contribution to Cricket' award will be nominated by former Indian captain Rahul Dravid. This award will consider contributions from all over the cricket ecosystem, from groundsmen to pitch curators, umpires to grassroots organisers, or just about anyone who has made a positive impact on the game.</p> <p>"The Contribution to Cricket award was conceived to reward values that are pivotal to the sport - hard work, commitment, selflessness, fair play, and a dedication to the game. These are attributes embodied by many people across many aspects of the sport who are rarely - if ever - given credit for the amount they contribute to this great game," said Dravid.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LfHUlKlaZuM/UwKywAlNPfI/AAAAAAAAW_g/Va0I0nM0mmo/s1600-h/ram%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="ram" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="ram" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-62ShETpNmJ0/UwKyx0ifZRI/AAAAAAAAW_o/w1NzsfDgJYc/ram_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="604" height="439" /></a> <br />Speaking on these new categories, Sambit Bal, editor-in-chief, ESPNcricinfo, said: "The Cricketer of the Generation is a one-time award coinciding with the 20th anniversary of ESPNcricinfo, and with the Contribution to Cricket award, we aim to expand our horizon beyond the playing field."</p> <p>Cricketers and industry leaders from around the world will attend the gala awards event on March 14 in Mumbai. <br /> <br /></p> <p><strong><font color="#000000" size="2">© PTI</font></strong></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

I see you doing well for the country in years to come. All the best and keep working hard'," Unmukt wrote in a blog on sport social network 'Sportlobster'.</p> <p>"I grew up in an era where Sachin Tendulkar ruled the world of cricket. Who can forget the desert storm in Sharjah or that pull to Andrew Caddick in the 2003 World Cup, which went out of the park!" he added.</p> <p>Unmukt, who was bought by Rajasthan Royals at the recent players' auction for the seventh edition of the IPL, said it was a step forward in realising his dream of playing for India in future.</p> <p>"A dream for every cricketer playing in this country is to walk across the field in that blue jersey and cling onto it for as long as possible. I would be lying if I said this wasn't my dream growing up - it still is."</p> <p>"The only difference between then and now is I have been lucky enough to represent my country in what I would like to call the 'lighter' shade of blue. The dream is and has always been to play for the India senior team in the 'perfect' shade of blue," Unmukt wrote.</p> <p>However, the youngster is under no illusions about the enormous pressure that comes with the honour of representing one's country.</p> <p>"Though the dream is to play for the country in all formats, wearing the 'perfect' shade of blue would mean carrying the hopes of a billion people on these two shoulders," the 20-year-old batsman wrote.</p> <p>"As easy as it is to write about playing for the nation, the responsibility is huge, but I believe the feeling of serving the country and being the reason to extend that smile on a billion faces weighs heavier than being afraid of taking up that responsibility."</p> <p>"Each cricketer begins his journey with the lighter shades of blue and gradually reaches his dream. I embarked on this journey a long while ago and as time passes I would love to look into the mirror wearing that perfect shade of blue with a billion smiles resting upon my shoulders," he added.</p> <p>Unmukt backed Twenty20 cricket, saying the shortest format of the game 'tests a player's decision-making skills'. "Twenty20 cricket is scrutinised around the world for over-shadowing the importance and essence of Test cricket, therefore at the international level the format is given less attention than it deserves."</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-J5IOGOnufqA/UwKyuHcis-I/AAAAAAAAW_Q/_-31HdO5i48/s1600-h/chand%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="chand" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="chand" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-numMf0hi7Vg/UwKyvTCLp1I/AAAAAAAAW_Y/QGof1b4lfiA/chand_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="671" /></a> <br />"A one-off T20 match after a long series is similar to a consolation prize. T20, for a brief amount of time, takes the attention away from the other two formats at international level. T20, according to me, is as important as the other formats and, though fast paced, it tests a player's decision-making skills in an urgent situation," he explained.</p> <p>"The beauty of the game lies in its pace. One wrong decision can cost you a whole match and it is exciting when that element of risk is involved in the game. To grow as a cricketer, one must learn how to switch between the three formats when required," he concluded. <br /> <br /></p> <p><strong><font color="#000000" size="2">© PTI</font></strong></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

It has happened first time for a sportsperson," said Dhoni, ahead of the first Test against New Zealand, starting in Auckland on Thursday. </p> <p>"We missed it to some extent, given that we are not in India. As a civilian, you cannot get a higher honour than this. He definitely deserves it.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br />BMW has unveiled its hybrid sports car, the i8 at the Auto Expo 2014. The car made its global debut at the Frankfurt Show in 2013 and will be launched in India by the end of this year. It was unveiled by Phillip Von Saar, chief of BMW India and master blaster Sachin Tendulkar at the BMW pavilion.<br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The car boasts of distinct panels at the front, sills and over the rear wheels. The headlamp cluster gets LEDs with an alternative for customers to opt for unique ‘laser’ headlights. BMW claims that these throw white light and are 70 per cent more effective and brighter than standard LEDs. The exterior of the vehicle also shows the C-pillar which has aerofoils and the car features gull-wing styled doors.</span><br /><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Retired batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesday donated Rs 10 lakh to Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children while initiating awareness on prevention of cardiac disease among children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I would like to donate Rs 10 lakh along with my wife to sponsor a ventilator in the hospital," Tendulkar, who announced the 'Little Hearts Marathon' in Mumbai said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The marathon, which will be held on February 9 from Siddhivinayak Temple to the hospital, is aimed at spreading awareness about cardiac care in children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"It is a great honour for me to be supporting this noble initiative by Dr. (Yeshwant) Amdekar (the Medical Director at Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children). It is about raising awareness and raising money," the 40-year old said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The iconic batsman said that Dr. Amdekar played a similar role for his wife Anjali what his coach Ramakant Achrekar did for him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"What Achrekar sir is to me, Dr. Amdekar sir is to her. He has a huge role in guiding her to become a doctor (pediatrician)," Tendulkar said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tendulkar, who also visited a few of the wards, said he was moved by a girl's story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"I was just walking through the wards and I got numbed when I met a girl, who many years ago had come to this hospital for a treatment and that time she couldn't get it because she didn't have money. And today, she has money but unfortunately cannot do it," he said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"It is one of those rare cases that nothing can be done. As a parent I feel so difficult to accept that you are going to lose your child and that thought numbed me completely," the father of two said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He said there is a need to provide facilities and urged people to donate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"We are living in 2014 and it is all about the infrastructure provided to our doctors. It is just about providing facilities. Doctors are willing to do in whatever possible manner. I would urge to every person to contribute in whatever possible manner," he said. (PTI)</span><br />
