Rahul borrowed "The Jungle Pyramid" (Hardy Boys) a long time ago from me. Lost it and I had to cough up Rs 18 to Amar N.
Later on I would learn that the l'il friendly guy who walked up Museum Rd with the enormous backpack would become famous.
I often wonder where my book is!

Prioritizing these topics is not realistic, because priorities shift on a minute by minute, day by day basis. For instance, you can be hard at work on something, get a phone call that your wife is sick and leave work to go help her. You can skip church to go see a football game. It's all situational and no need to prioritize. Just keep all the balls in the air and deal with them on an 'as needed' basis.

Rahul Sharad Dravid (born 11 January 1973 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh) is an Indian cricketer, and the current captain of the Indian cricket team. He grew up in Bangalore, Karnataka. Though dropped from the one-day team earlier in his career for being scoring relatively slowly, he is, at present, one of the top-ranked batsmen in world cricket, and has the highest test batting average of any Indian batsman in history. He started his international cricket career in 1996.Born in Indore, Dravid's family relocated to Bangalore, Karnataka, where his father worked for Kissan, a company known for jams and preserves. This lead to him earning the nickname Jammy from his teammates at St. Joseph's, Bangalore. Dravid first came to prominence whilst attending a summer coaching camp at the Chinnaswamy Stadium where his talents were spotted by former cricketer Keki Tarapore who was coaching at the clinic [1]. He went on to score a century on debut for his school team and was selected for the the U-15 Karnataka cricket team, scoring a double century against the U-15 Kerala cricket team[citation needed]. Along with the batting, he was keeping wickets. However, he later stopped keeping wickets on advice from former Test players Gundappa Vishwanath, Roger Binny, Brijesh Patel and Tarapore. He was selected to make his Ranji Trophy in February 1991 against Maharashtra in Pune (while still attending college at St.Joseph's College of Commerce in Bangalore), alongside future Indian teammates Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinath, scoring 82 in a drawn match after batting in the No. 7 position [2]. his first full season was in 1991-92, when he scored two centuries to finish with 380 runs at an average of 63.3 [3], and was selected for South Zone in the Duleep Trophy [4], for whom he has been subsequently chosen annually. He had a stronger season in 1992-93, scoring 582 runs at an average of 83.1 including a double century [5] but managed only one game in the Duleep Trophy, scoring 14. In the following year, he had another strong Ranji Trophy scoring 644 runs at an average of 80.5 including two centuries [6] but again had a disappointing Duleep Trophy campaign, averaging just 13. [7]. However, in the 1994-95 season, Dravid played only once in the Ranji competition, but he scored 191 in his only innings [8] and averaged 52 in the Duleep Trophy [9]. In the 1995-96 Ranji Trophy season, he scored 153 as captain against Hyderabad in the semi-final [10] to advance to the final, in which he scored another century against Tamil Nadu [11]. In total he scored 460 runs at an average of 57.50 [12] and was the second highest run-scorer in the Duleep Trophy behind V. V. S. Laxman as well as topping the averages [13]. Dravid bcame a contender for International duties after being selected for the India A team in a domestic tournament in the 1994-95 season [14] and again in the 1995-96 season [15], where he top-scored for his team in the match against India B [16] and the final against the senior Indian team [17]. However, he was overlooked from the Indian team for the 1996 Cricket World Cup held on the Indian subcontinent.
