 Here is the final part of Sachin Tendulkar's interaction with the media. 

Q: You have been a bridge between the seniors and junior generations. You have been the constant. How has it been adjusting for you, not so much for them, with the new generation?
Sachin Tendulkar: The difference has been only the choice of music. That has where the problem is. Otherwise we do the same things. I spoke about aggression, which need not be always vocal. There are youngsters who want to react to things immediately. I keep telling them don’t worry, after sometime you will have a different opinion about that. With age your thoughts change, the way you react changes. It is part of growing — what you do when you are 17, you don’t do at 35. It is a time-consuming process. It happens to everyone.
