RK says Vijay Tendulkar was a great writer:

Great and powerful and impressive writers possess one thing for sure and that is the art to present some stories in their own words/ways/manners and though its very much possible that they are taking inspirations from mythology or stories, already told in the past, but they will weave the plot in such a way that theme of their plots will be successful in presenting issues prevalent in the contemporary times.

Aniruddha will miss Tendulkar:

Tendulkar was fearless the way he took on Bal Thackeray and other politicians without batting an eyelid. [...]

I will miss you Tendulkar-sir because…

“…Instead of using bellybutton on stomach as pupil-less eye to grow-inflate tummy and lead insensitive life, you were always conscious that the real eyes were attached to the face…”

Anil Kumar remembers the day he met The Tendulkar:

I asked him, “Sir, are you THE Vijay Tendulkar?” Pause on the other side.

“What do you mean by the Vijay Tendulkar?” he asked me gently.

“Shantata Court Chaalu Aahe and all that?” I said.

He laughed and said it was indeed he. Somehow, the sound of that easy laughter of his has stayed with me ever since.

Wish ends his tribute with a wonderful quote from Tendulkar’s own writing:

There are times when one’s life appears to be a stage. People come, people go.
They come in order to go, and go with no intent of return. When they return, they return as one’s past. A past that would make you feel that the present is false.
