Sairam,
An interview that came in TOI last sunday: I see Baba in my dreams ... says Sachin Tendulkar,who is still coming to terms with the death of Sathya Sai Baba Ankur Batra Its not just Sachin Tendulkars bat that does the talking,his eyes are also known to speak volumes.This was especially evident when tears rolled down the master blasters cheeks as he paid his last respects to Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi recently.Baba might not be present physically,but the ace batsman still connects with him in his dreams,he said.Thats where I draw strength from.He will always be with me, said an emotional Sachin. Everyone saw you getting emotional.In fact you broke down post the World Cup triumph too... Its just that I could not control myself.Baba has always been my mentor and it was a great loss when he left us.But I remember his lessons and will continue to adhere to them.I felt very low on the day I sat near his body. You have always set examples.We saw you playing your best,despite the fact that you were disturbed.You did the same many years ago when you lost your father. I simply try my best to involve myself in the game as much as possible.Such losses are irreparable and I will miss the presence of such people in my life. What about Jaipur You went there and sat under the tree where Baba had delivered a discourse over four decades ago... I will be visiting Jaipur often now.It was a very different feeling when I got near the tree.The world looked very different and appealing.Yes,I got quiet for a while and kept thinking.Whenever I get time,I will go there are spend some time under that peepal tree. What about the guru dakshina We heard about your plan to get a marble statue of Babas installed. I cant say anything about it.Its personal. What is happening otherwise Any movies that you plan to do in the future Nothing much.Everythings going well and I am enjoying cricket.Theres no movie happening at all.My main focus is very much on the game.
