<br />
We got a call from Dhanraj Pillay today. He was appreciative of the fact that such an initiative has been taken.<br />
<br />
He shared his challenges in bringing about the changes in the Hockey system and assured that in some time when he gets to meet the biggies of Indian Hockey he will put it across to them.<br />
He also went on to suggest a few names to whom we should send this petition as well.<br />
<br />
From what he said, it appeared that he did go through the comments from the public.<br />
He was very happy to see that so many people have come together for a given cause.<br />
<br />
The call ended with the assurance of his support on any such initiatives pertaining to Hockey.<br />
<br />
P.S.: He asked me at least 3 times, "What can I do for you?". Can anyone suggest in 1 line, a concrete answer, as to what I should say?Shashankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10814882932305959064noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143289647211856709.post-29086315705777811412010-10-01T05:40:00.000-07:002010-10-17T22:17:50.678-07:00Thank you for signing the Save Indian Hockey petition<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dear Friends/Supporters/Patrons,</span><br />
