One of Prof. Hari's trips to Bangalore was when the 1st cricket IPL season launched.
He was curious about IPL, and had asked me if he could get a ticket. I was in creative tension, since tickets were sold out months in advance, but I was fortunate to get a owner/pavilion pass through a KSCA board member, who knew this was really important for me.
Hari later told me he had the time of his life, treated to extreme luxuries, and sitting in the same space as Vijay Mallya (owner of the RCB team), and other celebrities such as Bangalore's Deepika Padukone…
Oh.. he enjoyed the glittering opening ceremony, and the game too, even though RCB were blown away, due to an explosive innings by Brendon McCullum of NZ!
Thinking back, I'm so glad to have been able to serve Prof. Hari, and having been a source of joy for that occasion.
I reached out to the gentleman who had facilitated that pass, and thanked him profusely for having created this fond memory.
