Tendulkar and Lahli, A Beautiful Story.

When Sachin Tendulkar visited Lahli.

Standing at the arrival lounge of the Delhi airport, Gaurav Virmani felt a very privileged man. He had been accorded the most prestigious assignment by the Haryana Cricket Association --- put on "Sachin Tendulkar duty", which required him to stay with the batting maestro 24x7. For six days.

He welcomed the Mumbai Ranji trophy team and saw them off in a luxury bus, but didn't spot Sachin Tendulkar anywhere. A special vehicle was arranged for him separately, with security in tow but minutes ticked by without any sign of Tendulkar. Panic set in, frantic calls were made to and fro for his whereabouts before Tendulkar was spotted, in a white BMW car that he prefers to travel in these days, while playing that perfect brand ambassador role.

Through the next two-and a half hour drive, Tendulkar was keen to know more about the venue of his final Ranji Trophy game; about village Lahli, which has been eagerly preparing, in its own style, for the arrival of its biggest VVIP. Like Gaurav, not everyone could dream of having access to Tendulkar all the while, and all they wanted was a mere glimpse of their cricketing God.

Peepli Live was getting a sequel in real life, and 'Lahli Live', was making big news with a host of journalists, tractor-loads of farmers from far and wide of Haryana, dignitaries, former cricketers all making a beeline to be part of the action. HCA's Annirudh Chaudhary, who is also the BCI treasurer, had the big task of ensuring everything is in place, and this village is ready to host one of its biggest match ever in its six-year history. And he did not disappoint.

The pitch was getting rolled relentlessly, and the Ch Bansi Lal stadium was getting a facelift. Annirudha Chaturvedi, an interior designer who has also famously designed bats for Tendulkar and Sehwag, was called in to make urgent renovations at the venue and make it ready for such a grand fixture. A 23-tonne iron structure was erected in 11 days for the cameras to be installed, and work continued round the clock with just three, one-hour break with 100-odd workforce. Wall graphics, measuring 8 feet and 45 feet wide were painted outside the Mumbai dressing room, as a tribute to Tendulkar.

We dream, Tendulkar does. On that day when the sandstorm blew in to stop play - it was God announcing he had taken his seat - Tendulkar told coach Anshuman Gaekwad in the dressing room: "Don't worry I'll be there in the end."

This is the first thing about genius. Self-belief

2 Days to Sachin Tendulkar’s 51st Birthday

They could have turned off the lights in Sharjah, Tendulkar's shots would have illuminated the city, such is the sunlight of his batting. India has qualified for the final, but he paces the dressing room hissing, "I was not out."

This is the second thing about genius. Desire.

It was the rage of a man who believes he has no limits. He was not there to help India qualify, he was there to win the match. We dream small, Tendulkar lives big.

Border -"Hell, if he stayed, even at 11 an over he would have got it."

This is the third thing about genius. Fear.
