Sachin Tendulkar begins work on his autobiography

[vamos_rafa]

He has been spending his own money to do things in his constituency like adopting 200 children, providing toilet facilities, ensuring kids get an education, etc Two school under his care,one in Andheri and other one in Dadar under his full sponsorship where the school provides education, boarding and lodging, and extra curricular activities including cricket to poor students who would otherwise be begging on the streets. He has also started a meal program for women and their very young children at a few labor sites in Mumbai to prevent starvation and malnutrition. That's much more than what most MPs do and he has used his own money for all of it. You can calculate the cost for these things yourself

Any source for this? Whatever Asterix mentioned was in the papers a few days ago..

Of course he does charity work. We all know that. That's besides the point I'm trying to make. I'm trying to understand what he did as an MP for 2 years. Since he's involved in so many charity work, why he was not able to spend the funds allocated to him in some way or other. I can understand Rekha not able to do it as I'm not aware of her being involved in any charity work... Are you suggesting that Govt. Can save lots of money by selecting billionaires as MPs who will spend from their own pockets thus saving the MPs funds...

What rubbish! Tendulkar does charity so it is fine for him to p!ss over his MP duties?
