Kapil Dev -The 1st World Cup Winner !

While finishing my morning walk I met my senior friend

  & neighbor Siddhartha Ghosh. After a bit of chitchat I

 enquired about a framed photo that I have seen a few months

ago in his house. The said picture was hung just at the entrance 

so that whoever comes may have a good look at it. Hence I too

have not failed to notice it.

The picture showed Kapil Dev (the famous Indian cricketer ) 

putting a shwal around my friend's shoulder as an act of feli-

citation. 

My friend who was the Chief Accountant of Ananda Bazar

Patrika has retired and was in extension-as far as I know. 

The felicitation was for his long service towards the ABP

Sporting Club he claimed. 

"The next time if you have the opportunity-please tell him

about me."

In fact it was probably me who produced the only cassette

on the cricketer's achievement in winning the first World

Cup for India. The song's lyric & music was composed by

me. In fact I was the singer too.

      I sent a copy of my cassette to Kapil Dev who not only

listened but sent me an appreciation letter too. 

The letter still remains with me !
