NEW DELHI: Devender Sharma’s phone rang, just past midnight Saturday. In most ideas, midnight is the start of a new day, a changeover in the passage of time. The message in the call, too would be signifying that – a new start. But the voice at the other end was betraying no such reaction, remembers Sharma.
“Sir, aaj na mera debut ho gaya. (Sir, today I got my debut).” The ‘contents’ of the call was plain, telegram-like short, but the Sonnet Club coach immediately got the enormity of the meaning.
