The Nice Guy Who Finished First

Castrol India Limited today unveiled a biography on Rahul Dravid, at the hands of Greg Chappell, coach of the Indian cricket team. Authored by Devendra Prabhudesai, the biography reconstructs the incidents and events that have contributed to making Rahul Dravid one of the greatest cricketers to have played the game.

The book which is titled “The Nice Guy Who Finished First - A biography of Rahul Dravid”, is a tribute to a role model who refuses to rest on his laurels, and remains as intense in his quest for perfection as he was when he started his cricketing career.

“This biography holds a special place for me as it succinctly captures some of the most passionate and intense cricketing moments of my life and career till date. I am sure cricket lovers will relish these anecdotes from my life”, said Rahul Dravid, who is also Castrol’s Brand Ambassador.

The book outlines Rahul David’s moments of triumph as also his trials and tribulations. The book narrates the epic battle, one that he eventually won, to break free of the stereotypes that haunted him in his early years at the international level. His efforts to emerge from the intimidating shadows cast by his teammates and contemporaries are illustrated in great detail. The book highlights the physical, mental and of course, technical attributes that have elevated Rahul to legendary status.

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
