When Rahul approached me and told me about the
(excellent) work The Foundation was doing I made a trip
back to Jalandhar where any memorabilia I might have had
left was kept in storage. By the grace of God I found two sticks
that hold my most treasured memories. I pledge them to
Equation with my love and happiness.
If there was one piece of memorabilia we at The Foundation had set our hearts on it was
from Ajit Pal Singh. Some of the older members in the office remember listening to their
radios as India beat Pakistan in that unforgettable World Cup final. The next day in the
papers we saw photographs of Ajit Pal Singh holding the trophy aloft and every Indian felt
ten feet tall. The fantastic news is the former India captain has not disappointed us. At the
end of that final he exchanged hockey sticks with the Pakistan captain, Islahuddin. It is that
very stick that Ajit Pal has donated to Equation. Not to worry, that’s not all. He has pledged
one of the sticks he used in those halcyon days, too. Sir, India thanks you. |
