Warm	
  Rotaract	
  Greetings...	
  
	
  
Time	
  sure	
  flies	
  fast	
  and	
  here	
  we	
  are,	
  at	
  the	
  half	
  way	
  stage	
  of	
  the	
  year	
  2013-­‐2014	
  “Let’s	
  Be	
  the	
  Change”.	
  So	
  far	
  
it	
  has	
  been	
  a	
  wonderful	
  journey	
  with	
  the	
  success	
  of	
  the	
  Assembly,	
  two	
  magnificent	
  RYLA’s,	
  a	
  historic	
  
Presidential	
  Conference	
  and	
  various	
  avenues	
  of	
  service	
  projects.	
  It	
  has	
  been	
  overwhelming	
  to	
  see	
  all	
  District	
  
Officials	
  take	
  up	
  their	
  responsibilities	
  and	
  perform	
  to	
  the	
  best	
  of	
  their	
  ability.	
  I	
  want	
  to	
  mention	
  the	
  EB	
  team	
  in	
  
particular	
  for	
  being	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  most	
  active	
  and	
  YBRANT	
  Editorial	
  Board	
  I	
  have	
  seen,	
  reminding	
  me	
  of	
  the	
  
editorial	
  board	
  during	
  the	
  time	
  of	
  PDRR	
  Krishnakumar	
  (KK).	
  Thanks	
  to	
  the	
  team	
  for	
  delivering	
  a	
  world	
  class	
  
Directory	
  that	
  has	
  now	
  gained	
  global	
  reputation	
  in	
  Rotary	
  circles	
  as	
  being	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  best	
  Directory	
  Rotaract	
  
has	
  ever	
  produced.	
  Entire	
  credit	
  goes	
  to	
  the	
  creative	
  genius	
  of	
  Rtr.	
  Swathi,	
  EB	
  Chair	
  Rtr.	
  Ram	
  and	
  the	
  entire	
  
team	
  that	
  had	
  worked	
  tirelessly	
  towards	
  in	
  delivering	
  the	
  directory.	
  Looking	
  forward,	
  we	
  have	
  two	
  huge	
  
events	
  coming	
  up	
  after	
  a	
  period	
  of	
  lull	
  owing	
  to	
  the	
  exams.	
  	
  
Now	
  the	
  focus	
  shifts	
  to	
  the	
  Group	
  Rotaract	
  Meet	
  (GRM)	
  and	
  the	
  YBRANT	
  Annual	
  District	
  Rotaract	
  Conference.	
  
I	
  urge	
  you	
  all	
  to	
  pull	
  up	
  your	
  socks	
  and	
  support	
  these	
  two	
  events	
  just	
  the	
  same	
  way	
  you	
  supported	
  the	
  District	
  
Rotaract	
  Council	
  during	
  the	
  Presidential	
  Conference.	
  Exciting	
  times	
  lie	
  ahead	
  and	
  I	
  am	
  sure	
  we	
  will	
  end	
  this	
  
year	
  having	
  experienced	
  the	
  CHANGE	
  we	
  came	
  for,	
  ready	
  for	
  Inspiration	
  
Coming	
  back	
  to	
  this	
  issue	
  of	
  the	
  newsletter,	
  being	
  a	
  tribute	
  issue,	
  I	
  am	
  happy	
  see	
  the	
  focus	
  being	
  on	
  Sachin.	
  He	
  
is	
  someone	
  who	
  has	
  always	
  inspired	
  CHANGE	
  from	
  the	
  times	
  of	
  India	
  being	
  poor	
  performers	
  abroad	
  to	
  today	
  
being	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  most	
  consistent	
  teams	
  in	
  Cricket.	
  He	
  has	
  shouldered	
  his	
  responsibilities	
  for	
  24	
  long	
  years,	
  and	
  
this	
  tribute	
  idea	
  initiated	
  by	
  the	
  Editorial	
  board	
  is	
  a	
  very	
  small	
  effort	
  by	
  the	
  District	
  Rotaract	
  Council	
  to	
  say	
  
THANK	
  YOU	
  SACHIN.	
  	
  
	
  
Let’s	
  Continue	
  Being	
  the	
  CHANGE...

Wishes	
  to	
  all	
  my	
  Rotaractors	
  and	
  Rotarian’s,	
  
	
  
After	
  the	
  Handbook,	
  CD	
  and	
  a	
  very	
  successful	
  launch	
  of	
  a	
  District	
  Directory,	
  which	
  is	
  being	
  praised	
  as	
  a	
  
milestone	
  in	
  our	
  3230	
  History,	
  we	
  are	
  now	
  back	
  again.	
  This	
  time,	
  with	
  the	
  Newsletter.	
  It	
  has	
  been	
  named	
  as	
  
REFLECTIONS.	
  “The	
  Reflections"	
  will	
  Act	
  as	
  a	
  monitor	
  to	
  showcase	
  the	
  talent	
  of	
  our	
  District	
  and	
  project	
  their	
  
projects.	
  I	
  would	
  like	
  to	
  thank	
  my	
  EB	
  team	
  that	
  is	
  constantly	
  working	
  to	
  set	
  a	
  benchmark	
  in	
  the	
  avenue	
  of	
  
Editorial	
  board,	
  by	
  bringing	
  in	
  great	
  ideas	
  and	
  delivering	
  them.	
  Hope	
  you	
  all	
  support	
  this	
  venture	
  and	
  also	
  
benefit	
  out	
  of	
  it.	
  
Talking	
  about	
  our	
  theme	
  "Tribute	
  to	
  Sachin",	
  what	
  can	
  I	
  say	
  about	
  this	
  great	
  man?	
  
It	
  was	
  SACHIN	
  who	
  introduced	
  me	
  to	
  cricket,	
  made	
  me	
  learn	
  the	
  game	
  and	
  play.	
  Now	
  my	
  mind	
  refuses	
  to	
  
accept	
  the	
  fact	
  that,	
  he	
  is	
  a	
  Former	
  Indian	
  Cricketer.	
  
I	
  can	
  only	
  see	
  his	
  magnificent	
  strokes	
  in	
  highlights	
  and	
  not	
  live	
  in	
  action.	
  
I	
  may	
  never	
  again	
  get	
  to	
  hear	
  the	
  crowd	
  going	
  mad	
  screaming	
  "SACHIN!	
  SACHIN!	
  ".	
  
Mainly,	
  his	
  smiles	
  on	
  the	
  field	
  will	
  always	
  be	
  remembered.	
  
Sachin	
  Ramesh	
  Tendulkar,	
  you	
  will	
  be	
  missed	
  so	
  badly	
  by	
  the	
  Indian	
  fans	
  and	
  World	
  Cricket.	
  You	
  made	
  us	
  
really	
  proud	
  and	
  have	
  become	
  the	
  pride	
  of	
  the	
  nation.	
  
An	
  Inspiration	
  which	
  began	
  24	
  years	
  ago,	
  and	
  that	
  which	
  will	
  never	
  end.	
  
Thanks	
  for	
  all	
  the	
  memories	
  and	
  entertainment	
  you	
  have	
  given	
  in	
  all	
  these	
  years.	
  
Good	
  luck	
  for	
  your	
  future.	
  Hope	
  to	
  see	
  you	
  again.	
  People	
  will	
  really	
  be	
  happy.	
  
Salute	
  to	
  the	
  Master.

‘Testimonials	
  from	
  few	
  ardent	
  Sachinists’	
  
	
  
Sachin!!!	
  The	
  GOD	
  of	
  Cricket!	
  No	
  matter	
  what	
  age	
  a	
  person	
  is	
  right	
  from	
  a	
  small	
  kid	
  to	
  a	
  90	
  yr	
  old	
  man	
  who	
  
watches	
  cricket,	
  They	
  worship	
  Sachin!	
  Personally	
  I	
  started	
  loving	
  the	
  sport	
  as	
  a	
  kid,	
  when	
  parents	
  cheered	
  
while	
  Sachin	
  was	
  batting.	
  That’s	
  when	
  it	
  struck	
  me	
  and	
  I	
  started	
  watching	
  1996	
  world	
  cup.	
  I	
  I	
  dint	
  know	
  a	
  
thing	
  about	
  the	
  game	
  and	
  was	
  cluless	
  on	
  how	
  it	
  was	
  played	
  and	
  assumed	
  it	
  was	
  a	
  funny	
  game.	
  Later	
  in	
  1998,	
  
during	
  the	
  Sharjah	
  series	
  when	
  I	
  saw	
  his	
  back	
  to	
  back	
  100’s	
  against	
  Aussies,	
  it	
  was	
  the	
  best	
  nightmare	
  for	
  
bowlers.	
  Well	
  I	
  watched	
  all	
  of	
  his	
  matches	
  then	
  on,	
  he’s	
  one	
  	
  solid	
  batsman	
  who	
  can	
  thrash	
  fast	
  bowlers!	
  	
  
I	
  can	
  keep	
  on	
  talking	
  about	
  this	
  genius;	
  we	
  are	
  living	
  in	
  an	
  era	
  where	
  we	
  don’t	
  cry	
  for	
  our	
  relatives	
  or	
  friends	
  
death.	
  But	
  along	
  with	
  my	
  parents	
  I	
  cried	
  during	
  his	
  farewell	
  speech,	
  got	
  Goosebumps!	
  The	
  god	
  of	
  cricket	
  will	
  
be	
  worshiped	
  for	
  N	
  number	
  of	
  generations	
  and	
  be	
  a	
  role	
  model	
  for	
  all	
  young	
  cricketers!My	
  dream	
  or	
  wish	
  
would	
  be	
  to	
  bring	
  Sachin	
  to	
  our	
  Rotaract	
  District	
  3230	
  event!!

I	
  was	
  10	
  when	
  the	
  DESERT	
  STORM	
  happened!	
  I	
  didn’t	
  know	
  much	
  about	
  the	
  technicalities	
  of	
  cricket	
  back	
  then,	
  
but	
  now	
  each	
  time	
  I	
  look	
  at	
  the	
  highlights	
  of	
  that	
  innings	
  I	
  pinch	
  myself	
  and	
  feel	
  privileged	
  to	
  have	
  been	
  born	
  
in	
  the	
  90’s	
  –	
  the	
  era	
  of	
  a	
  legend	
  –	
  Sachin	
  Ramesh	
  Tendulkar!	
  	
  
Some	
  say	
  he	
  is	
  a	
  genius,	
  others	
  argue	
  that	
  he	
  is	
  God..	
  Ignoring	
  the	
  adjectives,	
  what	
  he	
  has	
  given	
  to	
  the	
  game	
  
of	
  cricket	
  cannot	
  be	
  and	
  will	
  not	
  be	
  forgotten!	
  Some	
  Sachin	
  moments	
  that	
  I	
  will	
  treasure	
  forever	
  is	
  getting	
  his	
  
autograph	
  in	
  a	
  small	
  bat	
  at	
  Park	
  Sheraton	
  during	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  tests	
  back	
  in	
  1999.	
  I	
  wish	
  it	
  had	
  happened	
  much	
  
later	
  when	
  I	
  knew	
  more	
  about	
  him,	
  but	
  I	
  am	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  lucky	
  few	
  to	
  possess	
  his	
  autograph!	
  
The	
  world	
  cup,	
  the	
  200	
  at	
  Gwalior,	
  the	
  Indian	
  flag	
  on	
  his	
  helmet,	
  his	
  boyish	
  smile,	
  his	
  MRF	
  bat,	
  his	
  straight	
  
drive	
  and	
  his	
  unique	
  stance...	
  We	
  will	
  miss	
  all	
  this.	
  Thank	
  You	
  Sachin	
  for	
  making	
  my	
  childhood	
  worth	
  it!	
  	
  
	
  
Rtr.	
  Neelesh	
  
ADRS,	
  Events	
  
	
  
	
  

I’ve	
  never	
  been	
  much	
  of	
  a	
  die-­‐hard	
  cricket	
  fan.	
  However,	
  if	
  there’s	
  one	
  cricketer	
  I’ve	
  grown	
  to	
  admire	
  and	
  
respect,	
  it’s	
  this	
  man,	
  or	
  should	
  I	
  say	
  God	
  of	
  Cricket,	
  Sachin	
  Tendulkar.	
  	
  We	
  could	
  go	
  on	
  all	
  day	
  about	
  his	
  feats;	
  
there’s	
  seemingly	
  no	
  end	
  to	
  them.	
  But	
  this	
  is	
  only	
  part	
  of	
  what	
  makes	
  him	
  so	
  great.	
  More	
  than	
  just	
  a	
  legendary	
  
cricketer,	
  he’s	
  a	
  great	
  human	
  being	
  and	
  a	
  perfect	
  example	
  of	
  humility	
  and	
  simplicity.	
  Nowadays,	
  it’s	
  so	
  common	
  
to	
  see	
  players	
  doing	
  silly	
  actions,	
  taunting	
  their	
  opponents,	
  and	
  resorting	
  to	
  all	
  sorts	
  of	
  un-­‐sportsmanlike	
  
behaviour.	
  Sachin	
  was	
  never	
  one	
  to	
  do	
  that.	
  He	
  let	
  his	
  performance	
  speak	
  for	
  himself,	
  not	
  his	
  antics.	
  He’s	
  never	
  
let	
  his	
  achievements	
  go	
  to	
  his	
  head,	
  and	
  always	
  put	
  the	
  game	
  ahead	
  of	
  his	
  own	
  ego.	
  Nevertheless,	
  he	
  was	
  the	
  
one	
  who	
  showed	
  the	
  way	
  to	
  hundreds	
  of	
  aspiring	
  cricketers,	
  that	
  with	
  sheer	
  hard	
  work	
  and	
  determination,	
  you	
  
could	
  be	
  numero	
  uno.	
  Other	
  legends	
  will	
  surely	
  rise,	
  but	
  to	
  the	
  fans	
  world	
  over,	
  Sachin	
  Tendulkar	
  shall	
  forever	
  
remain	
  the	
  Little	
  Master.

Sachin	
  Tendulkar	
  -­‐	
  The	
  name	
  says	
  it	
  all:	
  
At	
  the	
  age	
  of	
  16,	
  the	
  prime	
  age	
  of	
  their	
  life,	
  most	
  of	
  the	
  children	
  would	
  be	
  busy	
  studying	
  for	
  their	
  10th	
  board	
  
exams,	
  or	
  roaming	
  around	
  the	
  city	
  with	
  their	
  friends.	
  But	
  there	
  was	
  this	
  cricket	
  prodigy,	
  Sachin	
  Ramesh	
  
Tendulkar	
  who	
  had	
  better	
  ideas.	
  The	
  youngest	
  player	
  to	
  play	
  international	
  cricket,	
  was	
  busy	
  negotiating	
  raw	
  
pace	
  from	
  the	
  likes	
  of	
  Wasim	
  Akram,	
  Waqar	
  Younis	
  and	
  co.	
  This	
  required	
  sheer	
  determination	
  and	
  more	
  
importantly	
  guts.	
  	
  
Over	
  the	
  past	
  two	
  decades,	
  the	
  fall	
  of	
  the	
  second	
  Indian	
  wicket	
  has	
  created	
  an	
  unparalleled	
  frenzy	
  amongst	
  
cricketing	
  fans	
  around	
  the	
  globe.	
  Sachin	
  Tendulkar	
  is	
  40	
  years	
  old.	
  We	
  will	
  see	
  no	
  more	
  of	
  those	
  belligerent	
  
cover	
  drives,	
  the	
  straight	
  drives	
  he	
  plays	
  with	
  precision	
  and	
  those	
  deft	
  paddle	
  sweeps	
  which	
  defined	
  his	
  
batting.	
  The	
  records	
  he	
  has	
  smashed	
  down	
  during	
  his	
  illustrious	
  career	
  can	
  never	
  be	
  forgotten	
  and	
  maybe	
  
some	
  of	
  which	
  would	
  never	
  be	
  touched	
  upon.	
  Sachin	
  is	
  unarguably	
  the	
  greatest	
  cricketer	
  of	
  this	
  era	
  and	
  is	
  a	
  
near-­‐perfect	
  ambassador	
  for	
  the	
  game.	
  Some	
  knocks	
  he’s	
  played	
  just	
  can’t	
  be	
  erased	
  from	
  our	
  hearts.	
  The	
  90	
  
odd	
  runs	
  he	
  scored	
  in	
  a	
  winning	
  cause	
  vs.	
  England	
  at	
  Chepauk	
  which	
  i	
  witnessed	
  live	
  from	
  the	
  stands	
  can	
  never	
  
be	
  forgotten.	
  The	
  back	
  to	
  back	
  Sharjah	
  knocks,	
  the	
  double	
  hundred	
  in	
  an	
  ODI,	
  175	
  vs.	
  Australia	
  at	
  Hyderabad,	
  
the	
  241*	
  vs.	
  Australia	
  in	
  Sydney	
  where	
  he	
  didn’t	
  play	
  a	
  single	
  cover	
  drive,	
  a	
  177	
  at	
  Trent	
  Bridge	
  vs.	
  England,	
  
the	
  136	
  at	
  Chepauk	
  vs.	
  Pakistan	
  which	
  went	
  in	
  vain	
  and	
  I	
  can	
  go	
  on	
  and	
  on	
  and	
  on	
  and	
  on	
  about	
  his	
  
tremendous	
  knocks.	
  
Even	
  now	
  i	
  sense	
  Goosebumps,	
  when	
  i	
  see	
  those	
  pulls,	
  upper	
  cuts,	
  straight	
  drives	
  and	
  cover	
  drives.	
  I’m	
  
saddened	
  by	
  the	
  fact	
  that	
  Sachin	
  would	
  never	
  again	
  walk	
  out	
  at	
  No.4	
  after	
  the	
  second	
  wicket	
  falls	
  to	
  take	
  
guard,	
  and	
  give	
  nightmares	
  to	
  the	
  bowlers.	
  Bowling	
  to	
  Sachin	
  itself	
  is	
  an	
  honour	
  and	
  the	
  612	
  players	
  he	
  has	
  
played	
  alongside	
  in	
  his	
  career	
  are	
  extremely	
  gifted.	
  The	
  way	
  he	
  has	
  carried	
  himself	
  as	
  a	
  person	
  on	
  and	
  off	
  the	
  
field	
  has	
  inspired	
  a	
  million.	
  The	
  humility	
  and	
  the	
  respect	
  to	
  the	
  22	
  yards	
  which	
  he	
  has	
  shown	
  always	
  in	
  the	
  last	
  
24	
  years	
  didn’t	
  change	
  even	
  at	
  the	
  time	
  when	
  the	
  entire	
  nation	
  was	
  watching	
  him	
  leave	
  in	
  tears.	
  The	
  sheer	
  
respect	
  and	
  gratitude	
  for	
  his	
  family,	
  coaches,	
  physios,	
  managers,	
  media	
  personnel	
  and	
  mentors	
  is	
  something	
  
each	
  of	
  us	
  needs	
  to	
  learn.	
  However	
  big	
  you	
  grow	
  in	
  life	
  what	
  really	
  makes	
  you	
  stand	
  out	
  is	
  this	
  character	
  you	
  
carry.	
  
If	
  i	
  have	
  to	
  talk	
  about	
  this	
  man,	
  it	
  would	
  take	
  me	
  days	
  to	
  finish.	
  We	
  would	
  never	
  hear	
  the	
  “Sachiiin	
  Sachin”	
  
chants	
  around	
  in	
  the	
  stands	
  from	
  now	
  on.	
  When	
  Star	
  Sports	
  reads	
  LIVE,	
  Sachin	
  will	
  never	
  be	
  on	
  the	
  field	
  again.	
  
These	
  are	
  very	
  big	
  shoes	
  to	
  fill	
  in	
  and	
  India's	
  most	
  precious	
  son	
  has	
  been	
  a	
  gift	
  to	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  the	
  world	
  too.	
  	
  
Each	
  of	
  his	
  journeys	
  to	
  the	
  wicket	
  has	
  led	
  to	
  a	
  nervous	
  excitement	
  and	
  each	
  performance	
  has	
  given	
  immense	
  
pleasure.	
  I	
  will	
  miss	
  him;	
  every	
  cricket	
  fan	
  would	
  miss	
  him,	
  more	
  than	
  anything,	
  CRICKET	
  WILL	
  MISS	
  HIM.

17	
  years	
  ago...,	
  during	
  the	
  1996	
  world	
  cup,	
  even	
  before	
  I	
  could	
  spell	
  the	
  word	
  cricket,	
  I	
  fell	
  in	
  love	
  with	
  Sachin	
  
and	
  the	
  game.	
  I	
  used	
  to	
  go	
  along	
  with	
  my	
  dad	
  to	
  the	
  club	
  for	
  watching	
  the	
  matches.	
  Every	
  time	
  Sachin	
  bats	
  
my	
  dad	
  and	
  his	
  friends	
  thought	
  it	
  was	
  a	
  lucky	
  charm	
  if	
  I	
  danced	
  on	
  the	
  table.	
  I	
  used	
  to	
  jump	
  from	
  that	
  table	
  
and	
  hide	
  under	
  it	
  feeling	
  shy.	
  I	
  started	
  enjoying	
  all	
  his	
  shots	
  under	
  that	
  table	
  and	
  that	
  is	
  how	
  my	
  love	
  towards	
  
him	
  began.	
  In	
  the	
  year	
  1998,	
  during	
  the	
  Sharjah	
  cup	
  coca	
  cola	
  series	
  I	
  used	
  to	
  stay	
  awake	
  till	
  night	
  12	
  &	
  1	
  for	
  
watching	
  Sachin	
  play	
  and	
  his	
  143	
  runs	
  were	
  like	
  Sachin	
  telling	
  me	
  I	
  love	
  you.	
  After	
  reading	
  an	
  article	
  about	
  
him	
  educating	
  100	
  underprivileged	
  children	
  which	
  was	
  not	
  even	
  known	
  to	
  the	
  media	
  for	
  a	
  year,	
  the	
  love	
  
towards	
  him	
  increased	
  drastically.	
  During	
  the	
  2003	
  World	
  Cup,	
  we	
  all	
  know	
  Sachin's	
  father	
  expired.	
  	
  
He	
  returned	
  to	
  India,	
  did	
  all	
  the	
  formalities	
  and	
  was	
  back	
  for	
  the	
  match,	
  during	
  that	
  time	
  when	
  everyone	
  said	
  
he	
  will	
  not	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  play	
  he	
  successfully	
  added	
  another	
  century	
  to	
  his	
  account.	
  From	
  2003	
  till	
  today	
  there	
  are	
  
many	
  such	
  incidents	
  which	
  made	
  my	
  love	
  for	
  him	
  raise	
  beyond	
  boundaries.	
  One	
  last	
  thing	
  that	
  I	
  would	
  love	
  to	
  
share	
  is	
  me	
  flying	
  to	
  Mumbai	
  for	
  watching	
  his	
  200th	
  and	
  final	
  match...	
  It	
  was	
  an	
  awesome	
  feeling.	
  We	
  all	
  
know	
  that	
  many	
  people	
  love	
  Sachin	
  but	
  the	
  real	
  love	
  and	
  feel	
  was	
  felt	
  there.	
  	
  
Right	
  from	
  a	
  10	
  years	
  old	
  kid	
  to	
  60	
  year	
  olds	
  cherished	
  him.	
  The	
  word	
  Sachin,	
  Sachin,	
  Sachin,	
  brought	
  tears	
  to	
  
his	
  eyes.	
  During	
  the	
  IPL	
  season	
  we	
  can	
  witness	
  our	
  people	
  supporting	
  the	
  foreign	
  players	
  as	
  they	
  want	
  to	
  
support	
  the	
  home	
  team.	
  But	
  during	
  Sachin’s	
  200th	
  match,	
  every	
  fan	
  in	
  the	
  ground	
  was	
  supporting	
  the	
  West	
  
Indian	
  team	
  since	
  every	
  one	
  of	
  us	
  wanted	
  to	
  see	
  him	
  play	
  one	
  last	
  time.	
  SACHIN	
  for	
  me,	
  the	
  man	
  of	
  talent,	
  
kindness,	
  a	
  leader,	
  passion,	
  love,	
  simplicity,	
  sincerity	
  and	
  what	
  not...	
  My	
  role	
  model.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
By	
  the	
  great	
  bats	
  man,	
  “Some	
  balls	
  are	
  meant	
  to	
  be	
  played	
  out	
  off	
  the	
  line	
  (crease)...	
  Only	
  when	
  we	
  face	
  such	
  
balls	
  the	
  real	
  ability	
  is	
  shown.	
  Even	
  though	
  it	
  is	
  a	
  risk,	
  it	
  is	
  where	
  you	
  can	
  show	
  case	
  what	
  you	
  are...

  Tendulkar,

  die-­‐hard	
  fan	
  Sudhir	
  Chaudhary:	
  
	
  
	
  

	
  
	
  
He	
  has	
  stowed	
  away	
  on	
  trains	
  and	
  paddled	
  his	
  way	
  to	
  cricket	
  venues	
  but	
  for	
  a	
  passionate	
  Sudhir	
  Chaudhary,	
  
one	
  of	
  the	
  greatest	
  fans	
  of	
  Sachin	
  Tendulkar,	
  the	
  retirement	
  of	
  his	
  "god"	
  and	
  legendary	
  batsman	
  will	
  not	
  stop	
  
him	
  from	
  cheering	
  the	
  Indian	
  team	
  in	
  future.	
  
	
  
The	
  32-­‐year-­‐old	
  has	
  devoted	
  his	
  life	
  to	
  Tendulkar	
  and	
  followed	
  him	
  everywhere	
  to	
  watch	
  his	
  icon	
  bat,	
  not	
  only	
  
in	
  India,	
  but	
  sometimes	
  pedaling	
  his	
  way	
  to	
  Bangladesh	
  to

  a	
  cricket	
  match	
  in	
  2007	
  and	
  Lahore,	
  
Pakistan	
  in	
  2006.	
  
"I	
  have	
  dedicated	
  my	
  life	
  to	
  Sachin	
  sir.	
  I	
  will	
  continue	
  to	
  wave	
  the	
  tri-­‐colour	
  in	
  every	
  match	
  India	
  plays	
  at	
  
home.	
  'Miss	
  U	
  Tendulkar	
  10'	
  will	
  be	
  written	
  on	
  my	
  back,"	
  Sudhir	
  told	
  PTI	
  Bhasha	
  from	
  Kochi,	
  where	
  he	
  will	
  be	
  
seen	
  cheering	
  Team	
  India	
  in	
  the	
  first	
  ODI	
  against	
  West	
  Indies	
  on	
  Thursday.	
  
"I	
  will	
  never	
  let	
  his	
  absence	
  be	
  felt	
  on	
  the	
  ground	
  till	
  my	
  last	
  breath.	
  I	
  will	
  keep	
  cheering	
  the	
  team	
  with	
  tri-­‐
colour	
  painted	
  on	
  my	
  body	
  as	
  always,"	
  he	
  said.	
  Sudhir	
  is	
  usually	
  seen	
  with	
  his	
  body	
  painted	
  in	
  the	
  tri-­‐colour,	
  
waving	
  the	
  national	
  flag	
  and	
  blowing	
  the	
  conch	
  shell	
  during	
  cricket	
  matches.	
  Sudhir	
  said	
  when	
  Tendulkar	
  
made	
  his	
  way	
  to	
  the	
  dressing	
  room	
  for	
  the	
  last	
  time;	
  he	
  could	
  not	
  stop	
  himself	
  from	
  crying.	
  
"I	
  could	
  not	
  control	
  myself	
  and	
  cried	
  a	
  lot.	
  When	
  he	
  was	
  delivering	
  his	
  farewell	
  speech,	
  I	
  stood	
  in	
  one	
  corner	
  of	
  
the	
  ground	
  and	
  cried.	
  He	
  told	
  me	
  to	
  attend	
  his	
  press	
  conference	
  the	
  next	
  day	
  but	
  the	
  hall	
  was	
  so	
  crowded	
  that	
  
I	
  could	
  not	
  meet	
  him,"	
  said	
  Sudhir	
  to	
  whom	
  Tendulkar	
  had	
  given	
  a	
  pair	
  of	
  sports	
  shoes	
  as	
  souvenir	
  just	
  before	
  
his	
  retirement.	
  
"I	
  will	
  meet	
  Sachin	
  sir	
  after	
  returning	
  from	
  Kochi.	
  He	
  is	
  like	
  a	
  living	
  god	
  for	
  me,"	
  he	
  added.	
  Tendulkar	
  had	
  
invited	
  Sudhir	
  into	
  the	
  dressing	
  room	
  after	
  India's	
  World	
  Cup	
  win	
  in	
  2011	
  at	
  home	
  to	
  be	
  pictured	
  with	
  him	
  and	
  
the	
  trophy,	
  which	
  made	
  the	
  thinly-­‐built	
  from	
  Muzaffarpur,	
  Bihar	
  famous.	
  
	
  
Tendulkar	
  had	
  also	
  ensured	
  Sudhir's	
  entry	
  into	
  the	
  ground	
  during	
  the	
  prize	
  distribution	
  ceremony	
  and	
  his	
  lap	
  
of	
  honour	
  after	
  playing	
  his	
  final	
  and	
  200th	
  Test	
  in	
  the	
  international	
  arena.	
  
	
  
"I	
  can	
  never	
  forget	
  that	
  moment	
  (with	
  Tendulkar	
  and	
  World	
  Cup	
  trophy).	
  Sachin	
  sir	
  has	
  given	
  me	
  the	
  memory	
  
of	
  my	
  lifetime.	
  I	
  am	
  only	
  one	
  of	
  his	
  millions	
  fans	
  but	
  it	
  was	
  so	
  nice	
  of	
  him	
  to	
  do	
  that	
  for	
  me.	
  He	
  is	
  not	
  only	
  a	
  
great	
  player	
  but	
  he	
  is	
  a	
  great	
  human	
  being	
  as	
  well,"	
  he	
  said.	
  
	
  

	
  
	
  
	
  
 
Sachin’s	
  Last	
  Press	
  Conference:	
  	
  

	
  
The	
  feeling	
  has	
  not	
  quite	
  sunk	
  in	
  yet	
  but	
  batting	
  icon	
  Sachin	
  Tendulkar	
  on	
  Sunday	
  said	
  it	
  was	
  the	
  perfect	
  time	
  
to	
  end	
  his	
  dream	
  journey	
  in	
  cricket	
  as	
  his	
  body	
  was	
  finding	
  it	
  tough	
  to	
  cope	
  with	
  the	
  rigours	
  of	
  international	
  
cricket.	
  
	
  
"It	
  hasn't	
  struck	
  me	
  that	
  I	
  won't	
  play	
  cricket	
  again.	
  It	
  has	
  been	
  a	
  dream	
  journey,	
  no	
  regret	
  that	
  I	
  am	
  leaving	
  
cricket.	
  This	
  was	
  the	
  right	
  time	
  to	
  stop	
  playing	
  cricket.	
  It	
  was	
  an	
  enjoyable	
  journey,"	
  Tendulkar	
  said	
  at	
  a	
  
packed	
  press	
  conference.	
  
	
  
"I	
  had	
  a	
  question	
  and	
  when	
  I	
  looked	
  for	
  an	
  answer,	
  I	
  felt	
  it	
  was	
  the	
  perfect	
  time	
  to	
  leave	
  the	
  game."	
  
The	
  40-­‐year-­‐old	
  maestro,	
  who	
  brought	
  down	
  the	
  curtains	
  on	
  his	
  career	
  after	
  playing	
  his	
  200th	
  Test,	
  indicated	
  
that	
  he	
  would	
  remain	
  associated	
  with	
  the	
  game	
  after	
  enjoying	
  some	
  time	
  off.	
  
	
  
"Cricket	
  has	
  been	
  my	
  life,	
  it	
  is	
  oxygen	
  to	
  me.	
  In	
  40	
  years,	
  at	
  least	
  30	
  years	
  I	
  have	
  played	
  proper	
  cricket.	
  75	
  per	
  
cent	
  of	
  my	
  life	
  has	
  been	
  cricket,	
  so	
  there	
  will	
  be	
  some	
  association	
  with	
  the	
  game,	
  maybe	
  not	
  in	
  the	
  immediate	
  
future.	
  	
  
	
  

Asked	
  why	
  he	
  touched	
  the	
  wicket	
  in	
  reverence	
  on	
  Saturday,	
  Tendulkar	
  said	
  he	
  just	
  
wanted	
  to	
  thank	
  the	
  game	
  which	
  made	
  him	
  an	
  icon.	
  
	
  
"I	
  knew	
  never	
  ever	
  in	
  my	
  life	
  I	
  would	
  get	
  to	
  do	
  that	
  again.	
  And	
  that	
  is	
  where	
  my	
  life	
  started	
  and	
  those	
  22	
  yards	
  
gave	
  me	
  everything.	
  It's	
  like	
  a	
  temple	
  for	
  me.	
  I	
  wanted	
  to	
  say	
  thank	
  you	
  to	
  cricket.	
  I	
  just	
  thanked	
  cricket	
  for	
  
everything	
  that	
  I	
  got	
  in	
  my	
  life,"	
  he	
  said.	
  
	
  	
  
"I	
  was	
  still	
  enjoying	
  cricket.	
  I	
  have	
  always	
  said	
  the	
  day	
  I	
  felt	
  I	
  should	
  stop	
  playing,	
  I	
  would	
  inform	
  you.	
  I	
  got	
  
that	
  feeling,	
  because	
  after	
  24	
  years,	
  you	
  have	
  to	
  appreciate	
  I	
  had	
  many	
  injuries,	
  not	
  easy	
  to	
  overcome.	
  You	
  
reach	
  a	
  stage	
  when	
  your	
  body	
  gives	
  you	
  a	
  message,	
  enough	
  of	
  this	
  physical	
  load.	
  The	
  body	
  requires	
  rest.	
  The	
  
body	
  is	
  not	
  able	
  to	
  take	
  more	
  load	
  consistently,"	
  he	
  said.	
  
	
  
"It	
  was	
  becoming	
  an	
  effort	
  to	
  continue	
  training.	
  Earlier,	
  it	
  used	
  to	
  be	
  automatic,"	
  he	
  explained.	
  
Reflecting	
  on	
  his	
  glorious	
  career,	
  Tendulkar	
  said	
  being	
  part	
  of	
  the	
  2011	
  World	
  Cup	
  winning	
  team	
  was	
  the	
  best	
  
moment	
  of	
  his	
  journey.	
  
	
  
"When	
  we	
  won	
  the	
  World	
  Cup	
  two	
  years	
  ago.	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  wait	
  22	
  years	
  for	
  it	
  that	
  has	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  special	
  moment.	
  
Yesterday,	
  the	
  way	
  people	
  responded,	
  I	
  don't	
  know	
  how	
  to	
  react	
  to	
  that,	
  I	
  want	
  to	
  say	
  a	
  big	
  'thank	
  you'	
  to	
  
everyone,	
  so	
  that	
  was	
  also	
  special,"	
  he	
  said.	
  
	
  
Asked	
  about	
  the	
  most	
  disappointing	
  moment	
  of	
  his	
  career,	
  Tendulkar	
  said,	
  "The	
  2003	
  World	
  Cup,	
  we	
  reached	
  
the	
  final,	
  we	
  were	
  playing	
  so	
  well,	
  but	
  we	
  couldn't	
  cross	
  the	
  final	
  hurdle."	
  
	
  
"It	
  was	
  an	
  emotional	
  moment,	
  I	
  remember	
  when	
  I	
  was	
  thinking	
  about	
  retirement	
  I	
  don't	
  think	
  I	
  was	
  very	
  
emotional	
  because	
  I	
  knew	
  it	
  was	
  the	
  right	
  decision	
  even	
  though	
  my	
  family	
  was,"	
  he	
  said.	
  
"I	
  became	
  emotional	
  with	
  the	
  way	
  players	
  gave	
  me	
  a	
  send	
  off,	
  when	
  I	
  was	
  talking	
  to	
  the	
  wicket.	
  Normally	
  I	
  
am	
  not	
  very	
  emotional	
  because	
  I	
  knew	
  it	
  was	
  the	
  right	
  decision.	
  The	
  thought	
  that	
  I	
  won't	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  represent	
  
India	
  again	
  made	
  me	
  emotional,"	
  he	
  added.

  • 3. Message  from  the  Chairperson  -­‐  Editorial  Board:         Wishes  to  all  my  Rotaractors  and  Rotarian’s,     After  the  Handbook,  CD  and  a  very  successful  launch  of  a  District  Directory,  which  is  being  praised  as  a   milestone  in  our  3230  History,  we  are  now  back  again.  This  time,  with  the  Newsletter.  It  has  been  named  as   REFLECTIONS.  “The  Reflections"  will  Act  as  a  monitor  to  showcase  the  talent  of  our  District  and  project  their   projects.  I  would  like  to  thank  my  EB  team  that  is  constantly  working  to  set  a  benchmark  in  the  avenue  of   Editorial  board,  by  bringing  in  great  ideas  and  delivering  them.  Hope  you  all  support  this  venture  and  also   benefit  out  of  it.   Talking  about  our  theme  "Tribute  to  Sachin",  what  can  I  say  about  this  great  man?   It  was  SACHIN  who  introduced  me  to  cricket,  made  me  learn  the  game  and  play.  Now  my  mind  refuses  to   accept  the  fact  that,  he  is  a  Former  Indian  Cricketer.   I  can  only  see  his  magnificent  strokes  in  highlights  and  not  live  in  action.   I  may  never  again  get  to  hear  the  crowd  going  mad  screaming  "SACHIN!  SACHIN!  ".   Mainly,  his  smiles  on  the  field  will  always  be  remembered.   Sachin  Ramesh  Tendulkar,  you  will  be  missed  so  badly  by  the  Indian  fans  and  World  Cricket.  You  made  us   really  proud  and  have  become  the  pride  of  the  nation.   An  Inspiration  which  began  24  years  ago,  and  that  which  will  never  end.   Thanks  for  all  the  memories  and  entertainment  you  have  given  in  all  these  years.   Good  luck  for  your  future.  Hope  to  see  you  again.  People  will  really  be  happy.   Salute  to  the  Master.  _/_     #Respect  #ThankYouSachin  #LegendsNvrRetire     Regards,     Rtr.  Ram  Kumar   Chairperson    -­‐  Editorial  Board    
  • 4. ‘Testimonials  from  few  ardent  Sachinists’     Sachin!!!  The  GOD  of  Cricket!  No  matter  what  age  a  person  is  right  from  a  small  kid  to  a  90  yr  old  man  who   watches  cricket,  They  worship  Sachin!  Personally  I  started  loving  the  sport  as  a  kid,  when  parents  cheered   while  Sachin  was  batting.  That’s  when  it  struck  me  and  I  started  watching  1996  world  cup.  I  I  dint  know  a   thing  about  the  game  and  was  cluless  on  how  it  was  played  and  assumed  it  was  a  funny  game.  Later  in  1998,   during  the  Sharjah  series  when  I  saw  his  back  to  back  100’s  against  Aussies,  it  was  the  best  nightmare  for   bowlers.  Well  I  watched  all  of  his  matches  then  on,  he’s  one    solid  batsman  who  can  thrash  fast  bowlers!     I  can  keep  on  talking  about  this  genius;  we  are  living  in  an  era  where  we  don’t  cry  for  our  relatives  or  friends   death.  But  along  with  my  parents  I  cried  during  his  farewell  speech,  got  Goosebumps!  The  god  of  cricket  will   be  worshiped  for  N  number  of  generations  and  be  a  role  model  for  all  young  cricketers!My  dream  or  wish   would  be  to  bring  Sachin  to  our  Rotaract  District  3230  event!!   Regards,   Rtr.PP.  Arjun  Raja   DRR  14-­‐15       I  was  10  when  the  DESERT  STORM  happened!  I  didn’t  know  much  about  the  technicalities  of  cricket  back  then,   but  now  each  time  I  look  at  the  highlights  of  that  innings  I  pinch  myself  and  feel  privileged  to  have  been  born   in  the  90’s  –  the  era  of  a  legend  –  Sachin  Ramesh  Tendulkar!     Some  say  he  is  a  genius,  others  argue  that  he  is  God..  Ignoring  the  adjectives,  what  he  has  given  to  the  game   of  cricket  cannot  be  and  will  not  be  forgotten!  Some  Sachin  moments  that  I  will  treasure  forever  is  getting  his   autograph  in  a  small  bat  at  Park  Sheraton  during  one  of  the  tests  back  in  1999.  I  wish  it  had  happened  much   later  when  I  knew  more  about  him,  but  I  am  one  of  the  lucky  few  to  possess  his  autograph!   The  world  cup,  the  200  at  Gwalior,  the  Indian  flag  on  his  helmet,  his  boyish  smile,  his  MRF  bat,  his  straight   drive  and  his  unique  stance...  We  will  miss  all  this.  Thank  You  Sachin  for  making  my  childhood  worth  it!       Rtr.  Neelesh   ADRS,  Events       I’ve  never  been  much  of  a  die-­‐hard  cricket  fan.  However,  if  there’s  one  cricketer  I’ve  grown  to  admire  and   respect,  it’s  this  man,  or  should  I  say  God  of  Cricket,  Sachin  Tendulkar.    We  could  go  on  all  day  about  his  feats;   there’s  seemingly  no  end  to  them.  But  this  is  only  part  of  what  makes  him  so  great.  More  than  just  a  legendary   cricketer,  he’s  a  great  human  being  and  a  perfect  example  of  humility  and  simplicity.  Nowadays,  it’s  so  common   to  see  players  doing  silly  actions,  taunting  their  opponents,  and  resorting  to  all  sorts  of  un-­‐sportsmanlike   behaviour.  Sachin  was  never  one  to  do  that.  He  let  his  performance  speak  for  himself,  not  his  antics.  He’s  never   let  his  achievements  go  to  his  head,  and  always  put  the  game  ahead  of  his  own  ego.  Nevertheless,  he  was  the   one  who  showed  the  way  to  hundreds  of  aspiring  cricketers,  that  with  sheer  hard  work  and  determination,  you   could  be  numero  uno.  Other  legends  will  surely  rise,  but  to  the  fans  world  over,  Sachin  Tendulkar  shall  forever   remain  the  Little  Master.       Rtr.  Anuraag     RC  Madras  Mount  
  • 5. Sachin  Tendulkar  -­‐  The  name  says  it  all:   At  the  age  of  16,  the  prime  age  of  their  life,  most  of  the  children  would  be  busy  studying  for  their  10th  board   exams,  or  roaming  around  the  city  with  their  friends.  But  there  was  this  cricket  prodigy,  Sachin  Ramesh   Tendulkar  who  had  better  ideas.  The  youngest  player  to  play  international  cricket,  was  busy  negotiating  raw   pace  from  the  likes  of  Wasim  Akram,  Waqar  Younis  and  co.  This  required  sheer  determination  and  more   importantly  guts.     Over  the  past  two  decades,  the  fall  of  the  second  Indian  wicket  has  created  an  unparalleled  frenzy  amongst   cricketing  fans  around  the  globe.  Sachin  Tendulkar  is  40  years  old.  We  will  see  no  more  of  those  belligerent   cover  drives,  the  straight  drives  he  plays  with  precision  and  those  deft  paddle  sweeps  which  defined  his   batting.  The  records  he  has  smashed  down  during  his  illustrious  career  can  never  be  forgotten  and  maybe   some  of  which  would  never  be  touched  upon.  Sachin  is  unarguably  the  greatest  cricketer  of  this  era  and  is  a   near-­‐perfect  ambassador  for  the  game.  Some  knocks  he’s  played  just  can’t  be  erased  from  our  hearts.  The  90   odd  runs  he  scored  in  a  winning  cause  vs.  England  at  Chepauk  which  i  witnessed  live  from  the  stands  can  never   be  forgotten.  The  back  to  back  Sharjah  knocks,  the  double  hundred  in  an  ODI,  175  vs.  Australia  at  Hyderabad,   the  241*  vs.  Australia  in  Sydney  where  he  didn’t  play  a  single  cover  drive,  a  177  at  Trent  Bridge  vs.  England,   the  136  at  Chepauk  vs.  Pakistan  which  went  in  vain  and  I  can  go  on  and  on  and  on  and  on  about  his   tremendous  knocks.   Even  now  i  sense  Goosebumps,  when  i  see  those  pulls,  upper  cuts,  straight  drives  and  cover  drives.  I’m   saddened  by  the  fact  that  Sachin  would  never  again  walk  out  at  No.4  after  the  second  wicket  falls  to  take   guard,  and  give  nightmares  to  the  bowlers.  Bowling  to  Sachin  itself  is  an  honour  and  the  612  players  he  has   played  alongside  in  his  career  are  extremely  gifted.  The  way  he  has  carried  himself  as  a  person  on  and  off  the   field  has  inspired  a  million.  The  humility  and  the  respect  to  the  22  yards  which  he  has  shown  always  in  the  last   24  years  didn’t  change  even  at  the  time  when  the  entire  nation  was  watching  him  leave  in  tears.  The  sheer   respect  and  gratitude  for  his  family,  coaches,  physios,  managers,  media  personnel  and  mentors  is  something   each  of  us  needs  to  learn.  However  big  you  grow  in  life  what  really  makes  you  stand  out  is  this  character  you   carry.   If  i  have  to  talk  about  this  man,  it  would  take  me  days  to  finish.  We  would  never  hear  the  “Sachiiin  Sachin”   chants  around  in  the  stands  from  now  on.  When  Star  Sports  reads  LIVE,  Sachin  will  never  be  on  the  field  again.   These  are  very  big  shoes  to  fill  in  and  India's  most  precious  son  has  been  a  gift  to  the  rest  of  the  world  too.     Each  of  his  journeys  to  the  wicket  has  led  to  a  nervous  excitement  and  each  performance  has  given  immense   pleasure.  I  will  miss  him;  every  cricket  fan  would  miss  him,  more  than  anything,  CRICKET  WILL  MISS  HIM.     #ThankYouSachin  :’)     Rtr.  Rashmi  Rajamanickam     RC  Vepery    
  • 6.               17  years  ago...,  during  the  1996  world  cup,  even  before  I  could  spell  the  word  cricket,  I  fell  in  love  with  Sachin   and  the  game.  I  used  to  go  along  with  my  dad  to  the  club  for  watching  the  matches.  Every  time  Sachin  bats   my  dad  and  his  friends  thought  it  was  a  lucky  charm  if  I  danced  on  the  table.  I  used  to  jump  from  that  table   and  hide  under  it  feeling  shy.  I  started  enjoying  all  his  shots  under  that  table  and  that  is  how  my  love  towards   him  began.  In  the  year  1998,  during  the  Sharjah  cup  coca  cola  series  I  used  to  stay  awake  till  night  12  &  1  for   watching  Sachin  play  and  his  143  runs  were  like  Sachin  telling  me  I  love  you.  After  reading  an  article  about   him  educating  100  underprivileged  children  which  was  not  even  known  to  the  media  for  a  year,  the  love   towards  him  increased  drastically.  During  the  2003  World  Cup,  we  all  know  Sachin's  father  expired.     He  returned  to  India,  did  all  the  formalities  and  was  back  for  the  match,  during  that  time  when  everyone  said   he  will  not  be  able  to  play  he  successfully  added  another  century  to  his  account.  From  2003  till  today  there  are   many  such  incidents  which  made  my  love  for  him  raise  beyond  boundaries.  One  last  thing  that  I  would  love  to   share  is  me  flying  to  Mumbai  for  watching  his  200th  and  final  match...  It  was  an  awesome  feeling.  We  all   know  that  many  people  love  Sachin  but  the  real  love  and  feel  was  felt  there.     Right  from  a  10  years  old  kid  to  60  year  olds  cherished  him.  The  word  Sachin,  Sachin,  Sachin,  brought  tears  to   his  eyes.  During  the  IPL  season  we  can  witness  our  people  supporting  the  foreign  players  as  they  want  to   support  the  home  team.  But  during  Sachin’s  200th  match,  every  fan  in  the  ground  was  supporting  the  West   Indian  team  since  every  one  of  us  wanted  to  see  him  play  one  last  time.  SACHIN  for  me,  the  man  of  talent,   kindness,  a  leader,  passion,  love,  simplicity,  sincerity  and  what  not...  My  role  model.         By  the  great  bats  man,  “Some  balls  are  meant  to  be  played  out  off  the  line  (crease)...  Only  when  we  face  such   balls  the  real  ability  is  shown.  Even  though  it  is  a  risk,  it  is  where  you  can  show  case  what  you  are...  “     Rtr.  Lakshmi  Theja     RC  Loyola  Community

I  will  continue  to  worship  Sachin  Tendulkar,  says  die-­‐hard  fan  Sudhir  Chaudhary:           He  has  stowed  away  on  trains  and  paddled  his  way  to  cricket  venues  but  for  a  passionate  Sudhir  Chaudhary,   one  of  the  greatest  fans  of  Sachin  Tendulkar,  the  retirement  of  his  "god"  and  legendary  batsman  will  not  stop   him  from  cheering  the  Indian  team  in  future.     The  32-­‐year-­‐old  has  devoted  his  life  to  Tendulkar  and  followed  him  everywhere  to  watch  his  icon  bat,  not  only   in  India,  but  sometimes  pedaling  his  way  to  Bangladesh  to  witness  a  cricket  match  in  2007  and  Lahore,   Pakistan  in  2006.   "I  have  dedicated  my  life  to  Sachin  sir.  I  will  continue  to  wave  the  tri-­‐colour  in  every  match  India  plays  at   home.  'Miss  U  Tendulkar  10'  will  be  written  on  my  back,"  Sudhir  told  PTI  Bhasha  from  Kochi,  where  he  will  be   seen  cheering  Team  India  in  the  first  ODI  against  West  Indies  on  Thursday.   "I  will  never  let  his  absence  be  felt  on  the  ground  till  my  last  breath.  I  will  keep  cheering  the  team  with  tri-­‐ colour  painted  on  my  body  as  always,"  he  said.  Sudhir  is  usually  seen  with  his  body  painted  in  the  tri-­‐colour,   waving  the  national  flag  and  blowing  the  conch  shell  during  cricket  matches.  Sudhir  said  when  Tendulkar   made  his  way  to  the  dressing  room  for  the  last  time;  he  could  not  stop  himself  from  crying.   "I  could  not  control  myself  and  cried  a  lot.  When  he  was  delivering  his  farewell  speech,  I  stood  in  one  corner  of   the  ground  and  cried.  He  told  me  to  attend  his  press  conference  the  next  day  but  the  hall  was  so  crowded  that   I  could  not  meet  him,"  said  Sudhir  to  whom  Tendulkar  had  given  a  pair  of  sports  shoes  as  souvenir  just  before   his  retirement.   "I  will  meet  Sachin  sir  after  returning  from  Kochi.  He  is  like  a  living  god  for  me,"  he  added.  Tendulkar  had   invited  Sudhir  into  the  dressing  room  after  India's  World  Cup  win  in  2011  at  home  to  be  pictured  with  him  and   the  trophy,  which  made  the  thinly-­‐built  from  Muzaffarpur,  Bihar  famous.     Tendulkar  had  also  ensured  Sudhir's  entry  into  the  ground  during  the  prize  distribution  ceremony  and  his  lap   of  honour  after  playing  his  final  and  200th  Test  in  the  international  arena.     "I  can  never  forget  that  moment  (with  Tendulkar  and  World  Cup  trophy).  Sachin  sir  has  given  me  the  memory   of  my  lifetime.  I  am  only  one  of  his  millions  fans  but  it  was  so  nice  of  him  to  do  that  for  me.  He  is  not  only  a   great  player  but  he  is  a  great  human  being  as  well,"  he  said.          
  • 9.   Sachin’s  Last  Press  Conference:       The  feeling  has  not  quite  sunk  in  yet  but  batting  icon  Sachin  Tendulkar  on  Sunday  said  it  was  the  perfect  time   to  end  his  dream  journey  in  cricket  as  his  body  was  finding  it  tough  to  cope  with  the  rigours  of  international   cricket.     "It  hasn't  struck  me  that  I  won't  play  cricket  again.  It  has  been  a  dream  journey,  no  regret  that  I  am  leaving   cricket.  This  was  the  right  time  to  stop  playing  cricket.  It  was  an  enjoyable  journey,"  Tendulkar  said  at  a   packed  press  conference.     "I  had  a  question  and  when  I  looked  for  an  answer,  I  felt  it  was  the  perfect  time  to  leave  the  game."   The  40-­‐year-­‐old  maestro,  who  brought  down  the  curtains  on  his  career  after  playing  his  200th  Test,  indicated   that  he  would  remain  associated  with  the  game  after  enjoying  some  time  off.     "Cricket  has  been  my  life,  it  is  oxygen  to  me.  In  40  years,  at  least  30  years  I  have  played  proper  cricket.  75  per   cent  of  my  life  has  been  cricket,  so  there  will  be  some  association  with  the  game,  maybe  not  in  the  immediate   future.       Asked  why  he  touched  the  wicket  in  reverence  on  Saturday,  Tendulkar  said  he  just   wanted  to  thank  the  game  which  made  him  an  icon.     "I  knew  never  ever  in  my  life  I  would  get  to  do  that  again.  And  that  is  where  my  life  started  and  those  22  yards   gave  me  everything.  It's  like  a  temple  for  me.  I  wanted  to  say  thank  you  to  cricket.  I  just  thanked  cricket  for   everything  that  I  got  in  my  life,"  he  said.       "I  was  still  enjoying  cricket.  I  have  always  said  the  day  I  felt  I  should  stop  playing,  I  would  inform  you.  I  got   that  feeling,  because  after  24  years,  you  have  to  appreciate  I  had  many  injuries,  not  easy  to  overcome.  You   reach  a  stage  when  your  body  gives  you  a  message,  enough  of  this  physical  load.  The  body  requires  rest.  The   body  is  not  able  to  take  more  load  consistently,"  he  said.     "It  was  becoming  an  effort  to  continue  training.  Earlier,  it  used  to  be  automatic,"  he  explained.   Reflecting  on  his  glorious  career,  Tendulkar  said  being  part  of  the  2011  World  Cup  winning  team  was  the  best   moment  of  his  journey.     "When  we  won  the  World  Cup  two  years  ago.  I  had  to  wait  22  years  for  it  that  has  to  be  a  special  moment.   Yesterday,  the  way  people  responded,  I  don't  know  how  to  react  to  that,  I  want  to  say  a  big  'thank  you'  to   everyone,  so  that  was  also  special,"  he  said.     Asked  about  the  most  disappointing  moment  of  his  career,  Tendulkar  said,  "The  2003  World  Cup,  we  reached   the  final,  we  were  playing  so  well,  but  we  couldn't  cross  the  final  hurdle."     "It  was  an  emotional  moment,  I  remember  when  I  was  thinking  about  retirement  I  don't  think  I  was  very   emotional  because  I  knew  it  was  the  right  decision  even  though  my  family  was,"  he  said.   "I  became  emotional  with  the  way  players  gave  me  a  send  off,  when  I  was  talking  to  the  wicket.  Normally  I   am  not  very  emotional  because  I  knew  it  was  the  right  decision.  The  thought  that  I  won't  be  able  to  represent   India  again  made  me  emotional,"  he  added.
