Cricket was always my passion. Though I wanted to make it big in front of the camera, just like my million other colleagues in India, I could not. But there was still a possibility to make my cut behind the camera.
Cricket, often considered as a religion in India was ofcourse not part of my blood like my dear friend Aniruddha Srikkanth. But I got it transfused. Be it a ranji trophy game or a Kenya Vs Bangladesh test match, eben the camera persons at the stadium would not have watched it the way I used to watch. That habit of mine has irritated many. I can never compromise on a cricket match. one of the usual casualties, ofcourse was my mother. How often has she scolded me " Watching cricket is not going feed you. Now go and study." Probably those repeated chants was a trigger for me to make a living out of watching cricket ! Little did I know then, that my first project would be to cover the world cup.
