THE AUTHOR WAS LUCKY TO BE IN THE COMPANY OF THE ESTEEMED YASHWANTRAO CHAVHAN, THOUGH FOR A LITTLE TIME. BUT, THE CULTURED ATTITUDE OF CHAVHANJI WAS UNMISTAKABLE. IMPRESSED BY WHAT HE HAS WITNESSED, THE AUTHOR PENNED DOWN ALL HIS MEMORIES. HE SAYS- ‘I WAS NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO WITNESS THE COMPLETE CAREER OF SAHEB AS A POLITICIAN, I COULD NOT EXPERIENCE HIS VERSATILITY. YET, I COULD GET A GLIMPSE OF HIS CULTURED ATTITUDE AND GENTLEMANLY BEHAVIOUR. A VERY FEW MOMENTS WERE ALL THAT I GOT WITH HIM, AND THIS IS A HUMBLE ATTEMPT TO PORTRAY THOSE MOMENTS. EVEN THOUGH, THESE ARE VERY FEW AND LIMITED, I REALISE THEIR POTENTIAL. THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE, SAHEB HAD BEEN EXTREMELY CULTURED. HE HAD CONSCIENTIOUSLY GROOMED HIMSELF. HIS EFFORTS ARE WORTHY OF PRAISES AND SHOULD REACH MORE READERS. DURING THE LAST LEG OF HIS POLITICAL CAREER, HE WAS AS FRESH AS IN THE BEGINNING. HIS SHREWDNESS WAS CRISP AS EVER. HE LEFT NO STONE UNTURNED TO HELP THE AUTHOR. IMPRESSED BY HIS SOFTNESS AND CARING NATURE, AVID READERSHIP THE AUTHOR FURTHER INTERVIEWED HIM TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIS INTEREST IN LITERATURE, DRAMA AND POETRY.
