Book won't have my blood: Tendulkar

[achilles]

I'm feeling sorry for the people who actually booked the copy for the humongous introductory price tag. Boy have they been ripped off!

[Saffer]

:hysterical: They will be keeping an eye on Sachin whenever his next blood test will be, they'll steal the bottle:dance:

[Asim]

That was rather a sort of disturbing news but good to its not true...

Why is he so offended by having a drop of blood/or less in his book that celebrates his life? :stupid: Im pretty sure only 10 books were supposed to have his *blood* in it and they too were all for charity to be auctioned off. A bit of a overreaction by god.

hes not offended coz of his blood being there?hes offended coz the makers lied about his blood being there to gain publicity.he's just clarifying that it isnt the case as he doesnt want buyers to be cheated

the publisher had supposedly said, " the book will contain his flesh and blood (i.e, will reveal all). Our genius media took the blood part literalily

A quote i got from somewhere: "When Sachin Tendulkar travelled to Pakistan to face one of the finest bowling attacks ever assembled in cricket, Michael Schumacher was yet to race a F1 car, Lance Armstrong had never been to the Tour de France, Diego Maradona was still the captain of a world champion Argentina team, Pete Sampras had never won a Grand Slam. When Tendulkar embarked on a glorious career taming Imran and company, Roger Federer was a name unheard of; Lionel Messi was in his nappies, Usain Bolt was an unknown kid in the Jamaican backwaters. The Berlin Wall was still intact, USSR was one big, big country, Dr Manmohan Singh was yet to "open" the Nehruvian economy. It seems while Time was having his toll on every individual on the face of this planet, he excused one man. Time stands frozen in front of Sachin Tendulkar. We have had champions, we have had legends, but we have never had another Sachin Tendulkar and we never will." I can't even imagine the day he hangs up his boots! :((

Fans immortalize entertainers. Michael Jackson, Don Bradman, Tendulkar, Tiger Woods, Pele, Mohammad Ali.... the list is endless. All of these have been proved mortals time and again. These are elite entertainers and nothing more. They have the same sort of thinking (in fact they come with slightly less common sense than common men as their exposure to daily chores are fairly less). They are great entertainers and well above common men of course. These are special but certainly not in the class of scientists/physicists/discoverers. The tendency has always been to immortalize entertainers as they are usually in lime light. People that thrive on a daily basis to eradicate diseases or contribute to well being of millions around the world are usually less celebrated as they do their jobs without expecting any feedback or accolades. Don’t get me wrong these sporting stars don’t go out looking for accolades but the fans immortalize them. I’ll have to say the stars are as vulnerable or even more vulnerable than common men. Fans can be a bit more circumspect but that would take the sheen out of entertainment. It’s a double edged sword, fans exist because of the stars and stars exist because of the fans. Both feed off each other. There are people that still believe Bruce Lee, Elvis and now Jackson are still alive.
