Colossal bat faces neglect
Chandigarh, June 28 The 21-foot long bat, which attracted the attention of the media and spectators in the match held at Mohali, is lying in the courtyard of its creator — Bishen Lal Prajapati alias Vishnu. “As the bat is made of high quality fibre glass, it would not lose its sheen even after 20 to 25 years,” claims Vishnu, who represents Haryana state as an acclaimed craftsman at National Craft Bazaars held all over the country. Disheartened by the attitude of the officials, Vishnu had some respite last month as Gen S.F. Rodrigues (retd), Governer of Punjab, appreciated his valiant effort at a function at Kalagram, where Vishnu presented a demonstration of his pottery skills. “I felt very proud at that moment when ‘Sahib’ recognised me by my name and asked about my unique creation,” said Vishnu. A dejected Vishnu now has other plans for his creation, “Earlier I wanted to present it to the winning team after the Test at Mohali but now I want to sell it as I do not have enough space in my house to keep it”. Despite all this, Vishnu’s morale is high as he hopes that someone who values his efforts will pick his ‘historic innovation’ symbolising the resumption of cricket between India and Pakistan. |
