I was surprised to read the book written by Sunil Gavaskar.

I am contented with my position. If Gavaskar is an eminent cricketer of India. I am a successful businessman. Although, I don't have fans like him but I have achieved grand name in my community. I am too a great fan of Gavaskar. It would be a great pleasure to get an opportunity to meet him.
