Regarding my post on the sports photographs, many readers wrote in expressing their interest in taking a look at those photographs. I had checked to see if they were available on the net, but couldn’t find them. I had typed them down from memory, may be the ones seen in some news papers or magazines long back. Just for the information of the readers, I’ll mention the details about those photographs. Let me know if you find them some where.
The first one was of the man who used to 'move like a butterfly and sting like a bee’; Mohammed Ali, the greatest of them all, struggling to light the lamp at Atlanta in front of Bill Clinton. The second was that of the legendary Brazilian soccer star Garrincha, still the greatest for many a cabbie in Rio, who died of alcohol poisoning in 1983 returning to his nation just before his death at the fag end of a life that went wrong, out side the soccer field. The third was that of Pakistan captain Wasim Akram, ignored and isolated by his team mates in the middle of a series after a Waqar Younis led rebellion against him. And the final one was that of the Formula One legend Alain Prost carrying the coffin of the man who once threatened to break all the records standing in his name, Ayrton Senna.
