Sachin Tendulkar found the outline of peninsular India while on a drive
He quoted astronaut Rakesh Sharma to describe the wonderful sight
'Saare jahan se achcha Hindustan hamara,' Sachin said on Twitter
Adding to his already envy-invoking travel diary is this new picture shared by the cricket legend on his social media accounts a little while ago. Those who think they can spot the map of southern India on the album cover of The Beatles' Abbey Road, pay attention - always on the lookout for interesting things (remember the pop portrait he shared asking fans to guess where he was?), this time the 43-year-old found the outline of peninsular India while on a drive.
So thrilled was Sachin, he quoted Saare Jahan Se Achcha, the same words that astronaut Rakesh Sharma used to describe India from space to then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi back in 1984.
During my drive on the island inlet of water appeared like the map of India.

We don't know where exactly he is - Sachin has been holidaying in England and America - but the 'Little Master' sure gets full marks for his incredible observational skills.
Here's how Twitter reacted to the picture:

Let's hope Sachin tells us where this mini-India is soon.
