Tendulkar going to Tussauds

There's nothing much left for Sachin Tendulkar to achieve.
Most of the dreams he may have had as a cricketer, or for that matter as a person, have been fulfilled.
So to hear him say he still has some wishes unfilled comes in as a surprise.

But before the Master Blaster makes it to the eminent museum, his wax model will make it. Come April 24 -- Tendulkar's 36th birthday -- and the model will be on display at Tussauds.
"It�s a great honour," said Tendulkar, with his trademark modesty.

But when such an honour is being bestowed upon you one can be, for once, forgiven for forgetting his usual demeanour.
The tone continued when he was told that many felt the honour came in a bit too late.

So how did the Master Blaster react the first time he saw his alter ego?
"I am someone who doesn't react so easily. And, initially, it was difficult to register it," he admitted.
"I have never reacted to anything like this in my life. So I find it difficult to express something that is so identical. He is that close."
"I am glad he doesn't breathe."

"I did get some time in between for this; else it would have been difficult. But I must admit, they were very professional throughout."
And is there any particular celebrity besides whom he would prefer to stand?
"I don't mind standing next to anyone," came the expected reply.
"Being a part of the museum is, in itself, a huge honour."

However, Tendulkar did admit that there couldn't have been a better birthday gift.

A perfect birthday gift in store and a wish soon to be fulfilled (read the planned visit), is there any other dream that remains unfulfilled?
"Dreams are something you see at night. During the day you strive to realize them," said Tendulkar, getting a tad philosophical.
