In a wonderful gesture to its personnel, especially those who went on to serve the nation in other fields such as cricket coaching, the Indian Navy launched the book written by its own Lt Cdr Hemanth Kumar, a past student of Mr MR Baig who had served in the Navy before turning into a full time cricket coach. That the Chief of Navy Staff himself, Admiral R. Hari Kumar launched the book along with Mrs Fatima Baig, wife of Mr M R Baig (who passed away last year) and cricketers VVS Laxman and MSK Prasad, shows how big hearted and noble this gesture was.

Prakash went to attend the function with his family. It was a huge, well decked affair, well attended by the press.
Mr Baig's family was represented by his wife, his daughter and grand daughter. Fitting launch. Mr Baig would have been thrilled to be part of it. But I am sure he is smiling from the heavens.
