Anjali, Sarah, Arjun steal time to watch Sachin create history

There couldn’t be a bigger celebration as well as irony than this! While the world celebrated the super success of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar -- who became the first batsman ever to score 200 runs in the history of the 50-over game - his wife Anjali, however had another nail biting moment ... a concern radically different than her husband’s success. The Tendulkar residence wore a quiet look. Yes, even as Sachin was rewriting history on his own terms, wife Anjali was preoccupied. She is painstakingly busy preparing their kids, Sarah and Arjun, for the final examination that’s going to be held from tomorrow morning and has therefore locked herself up with the kids and has given strict instructions to the security and housemaids at their Bandra residence to not to disturb her. Even the media that had gone to get bytes from her were requested to leave as Anjali didn’t want to be disturbed. Naturally, contemporary cricket’s first Lady Tendulkar is pretty much fine, even if she has to let go today’s special night by being busy with her do anmol ratn (two precious kids) and equipping them to face the demons of exams tomorrow. However, son Arjun and daughter Sarah, who couldn’t contain their excitement, stole some moments to watch daddy dearest in action. “I couldn’t watch the entire match as I was studying for my exams tomorrow. But I am very happy, very excited,” said an excited 10 year old Arjun Tendulkar. It’s not that the family didn’t whole heartedly participate in the jubilant moment of the master blaster. Everyone rejoiced in the news, but soon after things at home were pretty much normal, with Anjali locking herself in the room with her kids, and Sachin’s mother undergoing her routine treatment by the nurses. A source close to the family says, “We all rejoiced when we heard the news. Even Sarah and Arjun were informed, but Anjali bhabi has instructed us not to make too much noise or disturb her at this point as the children may get distracted. Even the media was asked to go back.”
