Viren Rasquinha,
Former Indian hockey captain



He stayed just two buildings away from mine. I always called him Uncle Leo. He always encouraged me and supported my game. He loved the sport so much that even at the age of 96 he watched every single hockey match on TV. He would always take updates from me on all recent matches in the city. And that was really great!
