@GoogleStore You guys have the worst every customer service. I have google store credit on my account, which I am unable to use on checkout. I have spent 5+ hours on-call with reps and no one is able to help. Terrible service.
When I think about the people who shaped my journey, I do not begin with a cricket ground or a coach. I begin at home.
Long before anyone outside my family knew my name, my father had begun to recognise my love for cricket and, perhaps more importantly, understand what it meant to me. He never knew exactly where that journey would take me. But he gave me the freedom to pursue it.
My father, Ramesh Tendulkar, was a writer, poet, and a professor, but more a mentor, a guide to many, including me. He gave me the freedom to pursue cricket while reminding me that success should never come at the cost of character. Some of the words my father said to me as a young boy have stayed with me throughout my life: failure is okay, but cheating is not. Never take shortcuts.
I was simply a boy who loved playing cricket. My father saw something more. He did not try to decide what I should become. Instead, he gave me the space and support to discover it for myself.
That, in many ways, is what a great teacher or mentor does. They recognise a possibility in you before you can recognise it yourself.
India has no shortage of young talent. Whether a child picks up a bat, a ball, a book or discovers an ability in some other field, it makes them unique in their own way. What they often lack is not talent, but access to people who can recognise that talent and help nurture it.
This belief was at the core of why Anjali and I started the Foundation. Across India, there are children with immense potential who may never get the chance to discover it because they lack access to a coach, a mentor, the right learning environment or basic healthcare. Our vision is that they get equal access to sports, healthcare and education, and a chance to prove that they belong.
My father spent his life as an educator, and I think his greatest lesson to me was the importance of giving someone the confidence and opportunity to find their own potential. This Teachers’ Day, we take the opportunity to honour the first person who saw something in me and believed in what I could become.
It is with immense pride, we are introducing the Professor Ramesh Tendulkar Memorial Fellowship, in partnership with our long-standing healthcare partner, Inga Health Foundation.
Each year, one MD (Doctor of Medicine) will receive financial support for a year-long opportunity to specialise in cleft and craniofacial care in Srinagar. On completing the programme, the fellow will receive a certificate from the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation, recognising the excellence. This is part of our long-standing commitment to support healthcare professionals in critical care and also encourage the young doctors in their field of study.
For me, this is more than a fellowship. It is a way of carrying forward something my father deeply believed in - that education creates opportunity, and that opportunity becomes truly meaningful when it is used to serve others.
My father gave me the confidence to find my own path. He dedicated his life to educating and guiding others, and I hope we can create that same sense of possibility for others, giving children and young people the opportunity to discover what they can become, and the means to make something of it.
The lessons of a teacher may begin with one student, but their influence can travel much further, from one life to another and from one generation to the next.
Happy Teachers’ Day!
Our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragic flash floods and mudslides in Nepal and Tibet. Apple is making a donation to support relief and rebuilding efforts on the ground.
There is perhaps no greater uncertainty than not knowing whether someone you love is safe. My heart goes out to all the families affected by the devastating floods in Nepal, especially those still waiting for news. Praying for their loved ones and for the rescue teams working tirelessly to reach them.
A terrible and tragic flash flood has taken place at Gyirong in Tibet - China, and one of our Kailash groups was caught in it. While on their way back, they were at the immigration office when the flood occurred and the building and much of the town seems to have been flooded.
All of us, including the volunteers and support teams are deeply anguished and are doing our utmost to assist in the rescue. There has been no official information on the whereabouts of any of the people who were at the immigration office. We are working with the authorities to see if we can get to the location and stand ready to be part of the rescue efforts, regardless of the risk involved.
Of the 21 groups who are part of our Sojourn, 495 people have already returned safely. 743 people are currently in Tibet, 148 people are in Nepal, and 77 people were at the immigration center, and 3 volunteers in Timure, Nepal.
To the families and loved ones of those in our group and hundreds of others who are affected in the region, I share your pain and we are sparing no effort during this profoundly difficult time. I am personally in the region to ensure the best can be done in the given circumstances 🙏🏽- Sg

The whole Existence is energy manifesting itself in so many ways. The rock and the Divine are the manifestations of the same energy- one gross, the other subtle. The Dhyanalinga is the result of taking energies to subtler and subtler levels. The whole process of Yoga is to become less physical and more fluid, more subtle. Once energy is like this, it opens up unimaginable Possibilities. -Sg #DhyanalingaConsecrationDay
The Biggest Fool's Mistake? Ignoring Our Soil!
🤡🌱 This #AprilFoolDay, don’t be fooled—52% of agricultural soil is already degraded! The real joke is ignoring it until it’s too late. Let’s act now to #SaveSoil before the punchline is our future!
I kept getting push notifications from @RobinhoodApp to rollover my 401k for 3% match and after the transfer is complete they are saying they are only going to match 1%. This is frustrating @vladtenev (poor customer experience)
Most inspiring to be among our soldiers of Southern Command. It's our privilege to serve you by offering the Yogic practices. May the Best be with you. Much Regard & Blessings. -Sg @IaSouthern#IshaYogaForSoldiers
In this Culture, the aspiration is not to go to heaven. The aspiration is to become Divine. This aspiration needs an iconic inspiration. For several millennia, Rama has been such an inspiration. As we celebrate the opening of the #AyodhyaRamMandir, may we remember the qualities that Rama is most celebrated for- justice, inclusiveness and transcendence of human limitations. My Best Wishes & Blessings to everyone celebrating this historic moment. -Sg #RamMandirPranPrathistha
🌍In the next few years, the world is going to face a big problem with soil disappearing. We are the last 🧑🏻🤝🧑🏽generation that can really do something about it quickly, but if we wait too long ⏳, it'll get a lot harder. This problem is also linked to another big issue: ☔ climate change. Some research shows that if we work on making the soil better, we could meet about a quarter of our goals for cutting down the gasses that 🌆 warm up the planet.
