surely the proudest day of my life.

Well, he's carried the burden

of the nation for years...

...so its time we carried

him on our shoulders.

My life, it's been fantastic.

I don't want to change one bit.

Whatever has happened,

I am 100 percent happy with it.

Yes. I constantly used

to be under pressure.

I'm extremely proud

to have played for India.

I think after a while,

great sportsmen do so much...

...they kind of answer

all the questions that we have.

And there's only one

question left over...

...which is how long

are they going to stay?

Works it away...

and that is it.

It's an absolutely

mind boggling event this:

One hundred 100's

in international matches.

Outstanding achievement

and richly deserved...

...for someone who's been so

special in this world of cricket.

I cannot complain about anything,

because...

...how can you complain

when people love you?

Whenever I heard "Sachin-Sachin"

inside the stadium...

...those moments are priceless.

Tendulkar's exit was a national event.

No other discussions.

Only one thing happening in India.

And it was saying

goodbye to Tendulkar.

We knew Tendulkar's going to go.

It suddenly hit everybody.

Is this the last we're

going to see of Tendulkar?

All of India was in tears.

- Settle down, let me talk.

- I'll get more and more emotional.

- My life between 22 yards

for 24 years.

- It's hard to believe that

wonderful journey is coming to an end.

- But, I would like

to take this opportunity...

...to thank people who have

played an important role in my life.

- The most important person in my life,

and I've missed him a lot.

- My father.

- Without his guidance...

...l don't think I would have

been standing here in front of you.

- Sol miss him today.

- My mother.

- Since the day I staned playing cricket...

...she just prayed

and prayed and prayed.

- And I think her prayers and

blessings have given me the strength...

...to go out and perform.

- Ajit, my brother.

We've lived this dream together.

- And it all staned

from the age of eleven...

...when he took me to Achrekar sir,

my coach.

- Achrekar sir has never,

ever said well played to me...

- "because he thought I would

get complacent and stop working hard.

- Maybe he can push his luck

and wish me now.

- The most beautiful thing

happened to me in 1990...

...when I met my wife, Anjali.

- Thanks for bearing with me...

...and always staying by my

side through the ups and downs.

- You're the best partnership

I've had in my life.

I was crying and crying and crying.

I was really,

really worried for him.

You know, what's his life

going to be like without cricket?

- Then the two precious diamonds of my life,

Sara and Arjun.

- On special occasions

like their binhdays...

- Their annual day, spans day...

...l've missed out on all those things.

- I promise you,

the next 16 years or even beyond that...

- meverything is for you.

- I know my speech is

getting a bit too long...

...but this is the

last thing I want to say.

- Time has flown by rather quickly.

- But the memories

you have left with me...

...will always be with

me forever and ever.

- Especially "Sachin-Sachin".

That will reverberate in my ears...

...until I stop breathing.

I'm proud of all my children...

...but of course

I am proud of Sachin.

So no doubt again...

he's an excellent person...

...but something

more than that I find...

That's why every person feels

that he is... their family member...

...which is a great

thing of pride for me.
