Encounters with Rahul
Date: 9/8/1998 Time: 1:45 Venue: THE GURUNANAK COLLEGE Occasion: Rahul is playing for India Cements (The Company he works for) It was about 1:45 when I
went to “GURU NANAK “ college to watch my hero RAHUL
SHARAD DRAVID in action.
I took with me all the photos and Cards of Dravid from my collection which covers almost all his favorite postures.. When I reached the place he was fielding near the boundary and I hardly got a clear view of him. When the MAC ELEVEN were
all out, Rahul was to open the innings for INDIA CEMENTS.
I went to the pavilion I had a chat for about ten minutes with him. I got his autograph and took a few snaps with him and left back for home wishing him goodbye. It was a very memorable day, which I will always cherish. I was thrilled and at the
same time happy on meeting my idol.
"ARE
YOU ONE OF THOSE FANS WHO SNEER AT ME WHEN I PLAY BADLY AND CLAIM
“No!” – I said. “ I don't care if you score a duck, or a Century – I always love you, admire you and worship you as my most favorite idol” I replied. Never the less I feel proud when you score well and share your disappointment when you do not do so well Rahul. I look forward to more opportunities to meet Rahul and share a few moments with him.

It was Amazing !!!! I had gone to a party where
Rahul's cousin was invited, she called up later and said she could'nt make
it because Rahul was coming over for a night (he was going to Dhaka the
next day for a match) .His cousin(Lata Kelkar)said we could come over for
a while to meet him.I was the most excited person on earth!I was meeting
Rahul Dravid at last!!!!
