I have been aware of the philanthropic work Rahul has been doing for the last 5-6 years, so it was a no-brainer for me to say yes.
But when he approached me for a piece for Equation, I responded to him as one former international sportsperson to another - both of us deeply care for the future of Indian sport. I wish him and The Foundation’s efforts to make this a world free of discrimination, all the success.
In the headiness of international acclaim there are few sportspersons who possess the farsightedness and certainty of where they want to be even before the applause has died down. Viren Rasquinha is one of them. One of the few hockey players in the world to have an equal measure of brains and brawn, experts agreed he still had a few seasons left in him when he called it quits. His retirement at the relatively young age of 28 to pursue an MBA makes his auction pieces even more coveted. Viren’s Asian Games silver medal-winning hockey stick is one of his most prized pieces as is his India blazer. His generosity is matched only by his uncomplicated largeheartedness.
