My semester exams were going to start. I went and met a very influential person before that. That meeting was very promising. There seemed like there was still a possibility of me realizing my dream so early. But did I think a tad too early. Yes I did. Working in a world cup as your first assignment, without any prior experience ? I must have been joking. The peer pressure was buliding up. Though my family did not say much, I knew they were as anticipatory as I was. But there was no pressure from them. Not a word did they utter, thinking it would pile up on me. Doesn't that make things worse ? It did. A couple of other leads came through, but not fruitful. Whenever anyone mentioned the word 'sports', people used to turn towards me. I too turned at people who mentioned the word 'sports.' Desperation was not the right word, but anticipation was. The word spread in all directions, that I was looking at a future in sports production. The hunt was frantic, like the Indian team in search of a fast bowler.
