No, I am not a Tendulkar fan...

One of the nasty controversies against the cricket player Sachin Tendulkar is that he sold away the ‘gift’ of a Ferrari car which had been given to him by Michael Schumacher. The truth was the "Fiat" company had gifted the car- Schumacher had only handed over the keys to Tendulkar. Tendulkar reported got tax exmption on this gift and later on sold the car to a Surat builder. "Tendulkar remained tight-lipped when questioned on this...Great-great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Tushar Gandhi went on to tweet "When Sachin got his Ferrari as a 'gift', he wanted duty & excise exemption; now that he has sold it, will he ask for capital gains exemption?”(Source: http://www.yourmoneysite.com/news/2012/apr/sachin-tendulkar-not-everything-is-good-about-this-god.html) ................................................................ Now a fresh news item says that Tendulkar is to gift a BMW car to Saina Nehwal. The fact is that the Andhra Badminton Assn is gifting the car and Tendulkar is only going to do- what Schumacher did to him earlier - simply hand over the keys of the car! Should one find fault with the media for such reporting or with the VIPs for getting their names used like this. Dont ask me!
