City Boy No.1
This follows the post by Rubic_Cube earlier today on the subject of our Bangalore boys; Dravid, in particular!
India captain Rahul Dravid was deservedly named the man of the match for his vital knocks 81 and 68, which proved crucial in a low-scoring game.
Following his matchwinning knock that earned India’s its first test series victory in 35 years on Caribbean soil, you’d expect his home to be a hubbub of activity – fans, wellwishers, bouquets, galatta, majaa etc etc. Hmmph! Nary a soul. See for yourself.
While I’m miffed with/about the absence of a celebratory mood, it dawns on me that his home perhaps is a reflection of his own personality – unpretentious, solid, calm, serene, stoic..you get it?
The Wall itself!

How about some respect for his privacy ? Surely you can put your digital camera to better use ?
I prefer the Bangalore boys to be the way they are, instead of being featured in TOI’s party animals page. Graham Gooch perhaps summarised Dravid best in this article:

And hats off to the fans for being dignified too.
@BNB: Privacy? Thats a good point. But I ain’t no papparazzi keen to show the world whether he prefers Hanes to Jockey – now that’s serious breach of privacy! Lets see what happens on his return back to Bangalore re: a celebration! Cheers & take it easy, mate! ;)
