Read the lesson (Pg-12)

 of my left ear-lobe. The next
day, he came again and
picked up the baby lying in
the crib next to my mother.
To his utter horror, he
discovered that the baby did
not have the hole on his left
e ar - l o be . A f r a n t i c s e ar c h
was made and I was located
sleep ing p ea cefully bes ide
a fisher-woman, totally
ignorant of the commotion
I had caused. The mix-up,
it appears, followed after
the babies had been given

their bath. I am grateful

to my uncle for noticing
the hole, for I have often
wondered what would
have happened if nature
had not ‘marked’ me
out. Perhaps, I would
have grown up to be
a fisherman working
somewhere along the
West Coast. And, what
about the baby, who, for
a spell, took my place?
I do not know if he is
interested in cricket
or whether he will ever
read this book. I can
only hope that if he
does, he will start taking
a little more interest in
Sunil Gavaskar.
