25 th October 2007
A day I can never forget.
A day when my dream came true.
A day when time stopped still in the madhyama
world.
A day when I met Sachin Tendulkar !
Yes, THAT day!! how can I ever describe it ! that's the
day when 25 became the most beautiful number and
Hotel Maurya Sheraton , Delhi , became the most
sacred place in the whole of India ! for that's the day
and place on which I finally got proof that Sachin
Tendulkar wasnt a myth . that he actually existed , in
flesh blood and bones . that there actually was
somebody who could change millions of lives everyday
.our dictionary doesn't have words enough to describe
what all happened to me that day !
There I was impatiently waiting for Him to come .
fidgeting all around , unmindful of hunger , thirst or
fatigue . not believing it all was actually happening .
not believing that in a few moments Sachin himself
would be in front of me .not believing that I could be
so very blessed ! that's when there was some
commotion in the main entrance of at mighty hotel .i
rushed as I have never rushed...
There he was , clad casually in a red T- shirt , blue
jeans and goggles , an aura of power and peace
emanating from him . he looked magical ! I stood
rooted to the spot . couldn't move an inch . my voice
died in my throat . the only thing I did was to look at
his serene face . looking at him strangely filled me with
immense calm and wonder . sense prevailed. I thought
to myself " madhi , this is the one chance you have ,
go forward ". But my legs didn't want to move ! I
stood transfixed .somehow though, I made a move. I
thought, could it be this easy, just one more step and I
will be standing alongside my idol ? I took that one
step, it was the most laborious step I have ever taken
. but then no other step changed my the way this one
did , so it was more than worth it !!
SACHINISM INSIDE OUT- E MAGAZINE - AUGUST EDITION

I was next to him...I still don't remember what I said ,I
only know that mumbled for his autograph... he was
holding a bouquet ...he smiled...oh god , he smiled
....he stopped next to me ...he was looking at me
....HE WAS LOOKING AT ME !!!! ... he gave the
bouquet to someone else ...had a look at my Sachin
diary , signed it and went ahead ...I don't know
whether I said thank you or not...I probably didn't ,
couldn't .....
I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me. I
wanted him to know how my whole life and personality
had been determined by his presence. I wanted to
show him how much more than a great cricketer he
was .i wanted him to know how looking at him made
me feel blessed to be living and how I pray to god
everyday for his happiness and peace . I wanted him
to know that I learnt my biggest lesson, of being
courageous enough to dream, from him ....i wanted to
hold him ...to say thank you ....
but I couldn't say anything .not one single word... I
just stood there , feeling him beside me ,blessed to be
breathing from the same air as him , watching at his
hand trace our his signature and then watching him go
away ! everyday since then , whenever I am sad or
depressed , the thought of this amazing day fills me up
with hope and happiness !! I get faith that as long as
somebody like him is around , there is hope for this
crazy world. I get reassured that if ever I feel that life
isn't worth living I will only have to remember those
few hours spent at Maurya Sheraton , to know how
good dividends one can get paid to be alive .I hope
others like me are also bestowed upon with such an
honour and that they are sensible enough to value it .
but more than any of this , I feel peaceful , serene ,
calm and happy from the very roots of my heart . I
feel alive !!
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova -"Sachin was so focused. He never looked like getting out.
He was batting with single-minded devotion. It was truly remarkable. It was a lesson."
