If nankaka had not noticed the hole oh his ear where would he be living?
Answers
I may never have become a cricketer and this book would certainly not have been written, if an eagle-eyed relation, Mr. Narayan Masurekar, had not come into my life the day I was born (July 10, 1949). It seems that Nan-kaka (as I call him), who had come to see me in hospital on my first day in this world, noticed a little hole near the top of my left ear lobe.
The next day he came again and picked up the baby lying on the crib next to my mother. To his utter horror, he discovered that the baby did not have the hole on the left ear lobe. A frantic search of all the cribs in the hospital followed, and I was eventually located sleeping blissfully beside a fisherwoman, totally oblivious of the commotion I had caused! The mix-up, it appears, followed after the babies had been given their baths.
Providence had helped me to retain my true identity, and, in the process, charted the course of my life. I have often wondered what would have happened if nature had not marked me out, by giving me that small hole on my left ear lobe; and if Nan-kaka had not noticed this abnormality. Perhaps, I would have grown up to be an obscure fisherman, toiling somewhere along the west coast.
Answer :
If Nan-kaka (Mr. Narayan Masurekar) had not noticed a little hole near the top of Sunil Gavaskar's left ear lobe on the day of his birth, his life would have changed completely and he would not have become a cricketer. This abnormality helped Nan-Kaka identify the mix-up of babies after their baths in the hospital. Sunil Gavaskar was located sleeping blissfully beside a fisherwoman. If it would not have been for Nan-kaka, he would have been brought up as a part of the fisherwoman's family and become an unknown fisherman. Thus, fate had a great role to play in the retention of his true identity which later charted the course of his life.
