<b>At Sahitya Sahawas, Tendulkar's childhood home:</b> The Tendulkars have neither sold their house here nor rented it out. The guard - stern but not rude - says it will take an application to the secretary of the building a day in advance for him to even point to the window of the Tendulkars.

<b>At Shivaji Park:</b> These kids have picked up a lot of mannerisms from televised cricket, but the coaches here are making sure they play proper cricket, at least in their formative years. The Bombay school of batsmanship lives on, at least for the time being.

<b>Through the memories of a teacher:</b> Ragini Desai was present when Ramakant Achrekar blasted Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli for batting on and on and putting on a 664-run partnership against a weak team. She knows of all the <i>vada-pav</i> (a street food) escapades of the two friends, and she has a valuable notebook titled "Cricket".

<b>From the pages of Desai's notebook:</b> When she went to matches with the team, Desai recorded brief scores in this notebook. She added clippings from newspapers next to the scores as the kids became more and more famous. She has preserved that notebook, and would love to show it to Tendulkar, but she hasn't ever had the opportunity to meet him after he left school. She hasn't tried to either.
