If you were a true-blue Sachin Tendulkar fan before digitalization changed our lives, you would know the joy of laying your hands on the sports pages of a newspaper that celebrated the iconic Indian cricketer’s greatest triumphs.
Remember keeping a scrapbook of a jaw-dropping Tendulkar moment?
Like that wintry 1989 afternoon in Peshawar when a 16-year-old Tendulkar gave the first glimpse into his genius by hoisting Abdul Qadir for three sixes in an over, after the Pakistani wizard had challenged the baby-faced Indian batsman to hit him against the turn.

Grand plan to provide a regular salary to employees wives who are home-makers.
In a first-of-its-kind initiative, philanthropic Sharjah-based Indian businessman Dr Sohan Roy will provide a regular salary to housewives of employees at his Aries Group of Companies.
Roy was so impressed by the commitment of his staff and their families during the Covid-19 pandemic that he decided to reward them in a novel way.
Currently, the company management is collecting the database of wives of its employees. The amount to be paid as salary to a housewife will be determined by the number of years the employee has put in in the firm. The initiative will be rolled out officially soon.
