Yes, the book 'Tendulkar Opus' contains the blood of world famous 37 year old cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. The Tendulkar Opus is being released in February next year, with 10 copies being printed using his blood celebrating the renowned batsman's career.
This [Sachin Opus] book cost $75,000(approx 35.2 lacs) surprised? But people have already booked their copies out of the limited edition. But don’t worry for those who cant pay the hefty price the "regular" edition is available at $2000-3000 (Rs 94,000-1,41,000).
The publisher will print 1,000 such copies, and all will be signed by Tendulkar and include a DNA map, but no actual blood. High-end publishing houses like Kraken are pushing the boundaries of extravagance and novelty in the luxury book market.
It's not the first time blood ink has been used to help promote a publication. Rock band KISS donated vials of their blood for the red ink used in a Marvel comic book in 1977. Such books are being treated as investments and sometimes commanding prices usually reserved for original art
works.
Key thing here is that Sachin Tendulkar, to millions of people, is a religious icon. And we thought how, in a publishing form, can you get as close to your god as "The signature page will be mixed with Sachin's blood — mixed into the paper pulp, so it's a red resin.
It is what it is — you will have Sachin's blood on the page,"publisher Kraken Media's chief executive Karl Fowler is quoted as saying by the Guardian newspaper. Apart from his blood, Tendulkar has also been asked for a sample of his saliva which would be used to create his DNA profile and would be printed on a two-metre gate-fold in the book.
The Tendulkar Opus will run to 852 pages and weigh 37 kilograms. Each page is half a metre square and edged in gold leaf. The book will contain about 1500 images and more than 300,000 words.All proceeds from the sale of these books would go towards Tendulkar's charitable foundation to help build a school in Mumbai.
At last it started...... In a different path..................!!!! With a different face..................!!!! Be ready................!!!!

Avoidance
"Why does she avoid me still,
After lowering down to earth,
What's that keeps her blind,
Why is she being cruel.
Why am i still unwanted to her,
Why does she flee from me,
Am i that non deserving,
Everything up to her.
Though i met her recently,
I feel a great attachment to her,
Or is it just an illusion?
Don't know,i really don't .
But one thing is true,
Her presence makes me happy,
I forget my past for a while,
I feel am the old person again.
I some times feel,
Her as an angel,
Who came to wipe off my tears,
And makes me happy,
As i once was."

My attachment to her was quiet coincidental,
but rather incidental.
That day will be always remembered,
not due to the marrow of the day,
but because of her importance.
Even though i had known her before,
knowing in detail about her was a wondrous thing,
soon i personally adhered to her.
Our relation grew unimaginably,
our relation like a cardiogram had ups and downs,
But we always compromised.
She often annoys me,
which gives her immense pleasure,
and which gives me immense anger.
She frequently intercessed with me for her friends.
At some module of my life,
she became my sibling.
An ever rememberable moment of my life,
a fortune from the almighty,
it was a great crowning.
Our communal rivalry often lead to
friendly conflicts between us,
in which i have to give up at the end.
I often put her in dilemmas,
she often devised my activities,
which i accepted with full happiness.
It was a florescent period of my life.
None of my friends could understand the essence of our relation,
they often criticised our relation,
which i hesisted without any doubt.
She was more than enough for me to balance all my friends.
I want her to be with me,
Now and always.
Amd my sweetest hope is,
to have her around me

A Begnning....
അക്ഷരങ്ങളുടെ ലോകത്തേക്ക് ആദ്യം കൈ പിടിച്ചുയര്ത്തിയത് അമ്മയായിരുന്നു ..
ആയിരം അക്ഷരങ്ങള് പിന്നീട് എനിക്ക് മുന്നില് ചോദ്യങ്ങളായി, ഉത്തരങ്ങളും..
ഇലകള് പൂക്കള് കിളികള് നദികള് മേഘങ്ങള് കാറ്റും മഴയും പിന്നെ..
ഈറനണിഞ്ഞു നില്ക്കുന്ന സഹ്യന്റെ ശ്യാമസൗന്ദര്യവും മൂടല്മഞ്ഞും ..
ഉദയസൂര്യകിരണങ്ങള് തഴുകുന്ന അഭ്രപാളികളില് അലിഞ്ഞ ആകാശനീലിമ ..
ഊഞ്ഞാലും പൂക്കളവും പൂവിളിയും ഉണര്ത്തുന്ന ഓണവും വിഷുവും ...
അംബരം സ്പര്ശിക്കും സ്വപ്നങ്ങളും അവയില് നിറയുന്ന വര്ണങ്ങളും ..
അക്ഷരങ്ങള്കൊണ്ട് വരയ്ക്കാന് ചിത്രങ്ങള് ഇനിയുമേറെ...
