Meeting with Hon Sunilji Gavaskar

There will not be any person who doesn't know about legendary cricketer Hon Mr Sunil Gavaskar. He is one of the greatest opening batsmen of all time, and certainly the most successful. He played 125 test matches and 108 one day matches for the Indian team. He did 34 test centuries which was a world record for many years. He is famously known as the 'little master' due to his short height and batting techniques. During my childhood days we used to watch cricket on black and white television and also listen to commentary on Radio. I never thought that a day would come when I would get an opportunity to meet him and interact with him.

On 16th April, Satya Sai Sanjivani Hospital organised a mega event to celebrate completion of 30000 pediatric cardiac surgeries in their various setups. There was also an inauguration of skill centres for various allied Health courses. Dr Shrinivas, MD invited me and Pramod to join this event. Both of us were keen to meet Mr Gavaskar.

After inauguration a press conference was held in which information about hospital functioning, patient profiles, type of care given and purpose of starting skill centre was explained. As a journalist Pramod asked Dr C Shrinivasan to tell about the reason for choosing cardiac problems and whether they are doing something in the field of organ donation and transplantation. Dr C Shrinivas informed that the decision to work in the field of cardiac problem was done after he came across a patient who was diagnosed with cardiac problems at the age of 3 years but she has to wait for 17 years to get operated due to lack of surgical facility. She was the first patient to get operated in Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital. After the operation her life changed miraculously. This change in her life was inspiring. After this case, they decided to develop more centers and now there are three centers of excellence in the field of pediatric cardiac surgeries. Regarding work in the field of organ donation and transplantation they have a separate wing to create awareness about organ donation, there is a tissue bank for cardiac valves and they are going to start a cardiac transplantation center in one of the centers.

Pramod asked Mr Gavaskar about his views and how he decided to work in this field. The answer given by Mr Gavaskar was very interesting. Mr Gavaskar's aunt was a doctor and during childhood when he used to visit her clinic he was thinking of becoming a medical doctor. Later he chose cricket as his career. In his cricket debut match while playing, great cricketer Garfield Sobors couldn't take a simple catch and he got a chance to play. He made 65 runs in that match and could continue to play for Indian cricket. In his second match again he got the same chance and he could make a century. Then he continued to play and created a history. He feels the gift of life and continues to play was important in his cricket career. He feels that such a gift of life is more important in real life where people are suffering from life threatening diseases

Mr Gavaskar's family is a devotee of Shree Satya Sai Baba. He met Satya Sai Baba several times and baba advised him to do something for society. After completing his cricket career Mr Gavaskar became a commenter for many years. Now this is his third inning and he wants to do something for the society. As during childhood he wanted to become a doctor which he could not become at that time now he is capable of doing something for the medical field; he got connected to Dr C Shrinivas in his mission. of Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital. He is one of the trustees of Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital Kharghar. He is happy to see small children getting the gift of life after their successful surgery and he feels it is the most satisfying thing.

After the conference Pramod introduced me to Mr Gavaskar. We have a good interaction. I briefed him about the work which we are doing in the field of organ donation awareness and our health care activities. It was a great and memorable meeting. Also I told him about my dream of starting a charitable institution like Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital working in the field of liver, kidney and digestive diseases where kidney and liver transplant can be offered free of cost to the underprivileged sector of society.
