Sharad Pawar after a long time did not contest in the cricket election thus relinquishing control after a long time. But a seasoned politician never really gives up control to a non politico. So instead of offering the power to a seasoned cricketer he supported the next politician.
Atish is from my community.. i.e. a cartoonist.. so he is rare. Fortunately he has the guts to pursue his dream of comics and graphic novels and has the required skillset too. Friendly chap.
