'on' or 'about'?

IF I write....write a paragraph on Sachin Tendulkar....Is it correct? Shall I use On Sachin Tendulkar or about Sachin Tendulkar?

One writes a paragraph on a topic, and it is about this topic. However, during a stroll, you encounter Sachin, it could be said that you came upon Sachin, which is much more socially acceptable than coming on him...
