Anjali quickly decided not to pursue her career in medicine. If she had worked in a government hospital, she would have had to do her fair share of nights and weekends in hospital, which would have been tough when Sachin was back in Bombay between tours. Had she worked in private practice as Dr Anjali Tendulkar, she reckoned she would be consulted for her name rather than her expertise. Anjali is an all-or nothing person and she couldn't have just dabbled in doctoring.

I belong to that distinctly British genus of women who went to boarding school in the 1950s. I sleep with the window open; I would still win the Tidiness Cup; my posture is excellent for one in her ninth decade; I can knit, badly; I can pack, expertly; my hospital corners are second to none; I can eat anything put in front of me; I seldom make a fuss and I have never made a scene; and compulsory Sunday afternoon walks in the Malvern Hills have put me off walking for life.
