We lived under Ushakaal (the building in which Sachin Tendulkar lived) in a hut. Ramesh (author Siddharth’s brother) was born there. It was on the fourth floor of Ushakaal that Sachin – the renowned Sachin Tendulkar lived. As children, Ramesh was in the circle of friends that Sachin had. He was special to Sachin’s family as he was his friend.

When he went to Achrekar Sir to play cricket, Ramesh often picked up his bag and accompanied him. Ramesh has seen many of his matches when he was in school. From childhood, he kept note of little aspects of Sachin. All the children from the colony teased Ramesh, calling him Sachin’s PA. Coincidentally, today Ramesh truly is Sachin Tendulkar’s PA!
