Naeem with his colleague after returning safely to campNaeem Sarang was kidnapped by Afghani 'terrorists' on April 21 while he was on his way back from to his company base camp in Herat. You can read about his stay with the terrorists and blah blah if u simply run a search on google news... But this is part of what he told me when we went to meet him after his return...he was just so genuine when he asked about what he was going through during his ordeal...first few days were terrible he said especially after a close encounter in a village they were passing by where they were shot at...but after a while he got used to things...and thought abt IPL!!!
"कभी कभी मैं सोचता था की घर पर क्या चल रहा होगा...घरवाले क्रिकेट देख रहे होंगे या नही...फिर मुझे याद आया की वो मेरे लिए दुआ कर रहे होंगे और टेंशन में होंगे...IPL देखने का समय किसके पास होगा...मुझे बहुत बुरा लगा की मेरी वजह से सबको क्रिकेट मिस करना पड़ा...जब मैं कैंप वापिस आया सबसे पहले मैंने यही पूछा की बंगलोर की टीम का क्या हुआ...पर पता लगा की वो सबसे आखरी नम्बर पर थे..."
Maybe if Dravid knew that somewhere in the deep jungles of Afghanistan an ardent fan was hoping for his team to perform the Bangalore team would've played bettter ;)

क्रिकेट का इतना नशा - आप तो हिन्दी में लिख लेते हैं । हिन्दीं में ही क्यों नहीं लिखते।
