The Powerful hand…………
In late 1983, memories of Cricket World Cup victory were
afresh, when bumped into Great Kapil Dev at Delhi Airport.
We were travelling to Mumbai in same flight. Never
enthusiastic in meeting celebrities; his leadership highly
impressed me.
Numerous admirers around, but God knows why he kept
holding my hand till we joined queue for boarding.
Instinctively I asked, “What one thing you admire most in life”.
He promptly replied, “Be positive, never lose hope”.
We shook hands before sitting.
Oh my God! What a powerful hand & the grip……really
deserving to hold and held high first ever Cricket World Cup
