…..I really want to salute the mother of Sachin Tendulkar who gave birth to the boy equipped with inborn traits .He made his entry into cricket 24 years ago when he was just sixteen..Ever since he began his career he never looked back at any point in time. He had only one pair of trouser that his mother used to wash , and he used to wear. His passion about cricket since the childhood has really helped him to gain the height of BHARAT RATNA.

The most important person in his life was his father, whom he missed a l lot since 1999. As per his words”Without his guidance, I wont have been standing here before you. He gave me freedom since 11. He told me to be a nice human being. Every time I have done something special, I have raised my bat for my father.”His mother has a special space in his life.She played a pivotal role in moulding Sachin in a desired shape. She used to pray a lot when Sachin used to be on pitch.Her sincere prayers made Sachin to gain the height to achieve Bharat Ratna .His brother Ajit always supported him silently .In fact he is the one who judged his inborn talent.His family is the biggest support rather acted as the backbone of Sachin’s strength.

As per his speech about Anjali “Most beautiful thing happened to me in 1990 when I met my wife Anjali. Those were the most wonderful years. Being a doctor, there was a wonderful career ahead of her. She told me when we wanted to have a family that I should concentrate on cricket and she will take care of everything. Thanks for being there. You are the best partnership I have had in my life.” Indeed. She has proved that behind every successful man there is a woman behind. She is the one person who sacrificed her lucrative career to make him achieve such heights.A very big salute to Anjali.

I would like to appreciate the conclave organized by India Today Group SALAM SACHIN.I have never seen such facilitation of anybody in my life. Today i.e. on 16th November,the last day of Sachin appearance on the pitch has brought tears in every body’s eyes.His remarkable contribution to the Indian Cricket deserve all accolades from entire India. His praise by all captains for taking cricket to new heights gives a wonderful feeling.

Once again I would like to thank every member of his family,his childhood friends and everyone associated with Sachin for the magnificent innings of his cricket and wonderful life.He is the person who converted each of his mile stone to the stepping stone in his career.He is one of them who took every crticism in a healthy way.I still remember his comments”Aggression should be from inside and not outside”Thanks Sachin for being a wonderful role model for every youth.

Sachin Tendulkars magnificent 74 runs on the pitch of 200th test match has really proved that Sachin deserves BHARAT RATNA.For all his greatness and popularity ,Tendulkar has often been the target of unnecessary criticism. Despite the pressure and despite negativity he has proved time and time again that he is God for Indian cricket.Ever since he began his career at 16 years of age,he never looked back at any point in time.Scores of players and captain came and went but Tendulkar stands tall by raising the bar with every inning that he played.He lasted longer than any other player in the history of Indian cricket.However the greatest aspect of his personality is his humility. He is still grounded despite earning hundred of crores. Despite owing just about every batting world record. The Bharat Ratna achievement is the final feather in the over flowing cap, he wore since the last 24 years.
