Answer:
Answering to the question during Tendulkar’s first interaction with the media after his retirement, he said: “The beauty of my family is that they never lost balance. Whether I scored a 100 or 15 or 20 it did not matter. My father and mother always had encouraging words for me. I was able to perform well since my school days because the balance was maintained at home.”
Tendulkar also said how his mother used to keep sweets for the almighty everytime he played and that he understood his parents support only after he grew up.
As Tendulkar is a role model for all youngsters, the Maharashtra State Education department has decided to include a chapter on Tendulkar in the state curriculums
Many Indian legends had made their way to state board’s text books and Tendulkar will be the latest to join the list.
Meanwhile, politicians are hoping to capitalise on Tendulkar’s popularity and want him to join their party. Conferring him the Bharat Ratna itself is being seen by many as a political stunt by the ruling Congress party to gain mileage before the oncoming elections.
To take the gloss away from Congress, some opposition parties have remarked that hockey legend Dhyan Chand should have been given Bharat Ratna before Tendulkar.
Congress minister and IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla is keen to project all the honour that his party is giving to Tendulkar. He has even said that Tendulkar was made Rajya Sabha member as recommended by Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
Shiv Sena, one of the leading parties in Mumbai is not happy with Tendulkar being used by Congress. Years back the Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray had warned Tendulkar to keep himself to 22 yards and not make political comments.
Meanwhile, some spectators who came for the last Test match of Tendulkar has complained to the Mumbai police over taking away many personal belongings from them at the entrance and not keeping them safely and returning it.
The police at the entrance did not allow pen, pencils, ear phone, headphones, lip balm, sunscreen lotions and even combs.
The police had said that they can leave it below the stairs at the entrance and collect it on return after the match but nothing could be found at the end of the match.
Some not only picked their things but also the costliest things which were kept. None of the costly sunscreen lotions could be traced.

Early birds catch Tendulkar practice
K.R. Nayar
A huge uproar almost shook my room. It was for the gates of the Wankhede Stadium which were opened for the spectators as early as 7am. As I am among the lucky few who managed to get a room inside the Wankhede Stadium's Garware Club house, I did not have to stand in the long queue undergoing heavy security check.
By the time Tendulkar arrived the stands were almost half full. Fans want to see every moment of his batting. Tendulkar right away went out to have a net session which made the fans happy.
With the television relay starting early, one could see Sunil Gavaskar, Wasim Akram and Shane Warne getting into the ground early. Many after entering did not want to go to there seats and waited in and around the VIP entrance to have a glimpse of the Bollywood stars like Aamir Khan.
Everyone here wants something of Tendulkar and some want the legend himself. On the first day Tendulkar’s day had begun much before all his teammates. On arrival at the ground Tendulkar had to oblige to a few requests for felicitation. He had to unveil the special edition postage stamps to mark his 200th and final cricket Test match at the Wankhede stadium here.
Waiting for him at the ground were ministers and politicians. The stamp release was attended by Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, BCCI chief N Srinivasan and vice president Rajeev Shukla. Though days of writing letters have dwindled, many want Tendulkar’s stamp as a souvenir.
Within minutes after the release of the stamp he had to receive a memento and his painted portrait from the BCCI. Soon after India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni present the legend a special cap that had '200' printed on its brim. The West Indies team also then lines up to present him a framed autographed shirt.
Tendulkar also met well wishers before the start. On the first day he seeked the blessing of his idol Sunil Gavaskar. He also made sure his family members were comfortable at the box reserved for them.
"Tendulkar’s daily diary must be full. We understand that requests are pouring in to have his appointment for felicitation function for many days after his retirement,” remarked a Mumbai Cricket Association official.
