Administrators Don't Control The Game, They Nurture It.

If you decide to write your autobiography, what would be the name of the book?

Anita came up with one for my collection of articles and suggested, ‘Out of The Box’ and it was just so appropriate whichever way you looked at it. Should have kept it for the autobiography! Or maybe ‘The Outsider’ because that is what I have been in my profession all my life! Never been part of any club, so had to find my way around. It impacted me hugely as a person. Yes, maybe that as of now but I hope I can come up with a better name because that isn’t a reflection of a hugely fulfilling family life.

An autobiography that disappointed you the most... And why?

I switched off autobiographies a few years ago. I found them devoid of the passion that created memorable moments on the field. Maybe sportsmen have the deeds, not the words to describe them! Armstrong and Agassi were nice because they chose good partners to write them. Melody often comes from a composer and a performer working together. Singers routinely make poor composers so maybe it is about knowing what you are good at and respecting what others can do! Actually, I must start reading a few again... had got put off a bit.

At a time when trolling on anything and everything is in fashion, you are one of the few people on the internet who hasn’t faced much flak. How do you manage to be such a sweetheart?

Interesting choice of words! I get my share, certainly some of it has been much discussed in the public domain!
