Life Footprints – 33







                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
