Mysore/Mysuru: The second session for the day was on Cricket as democracy in action where journalist Rajdeep Sardesai was in conversation with Charu Sharma. Rajdeep spoke about how India is the most aspirational society where the hunger to achieve comes from tier 2 cities.



A politicians son or daughter can become a politician easily, but the case is different for a cricketer as their parents cannot help them to score runs and perform, Sardesai said during the course of the conversation. He quoted examples from his father Dilip Sardesai’s life. His father learnt to play cricket from a tailor, who coached him after listening to the commentary on the radio.



On a humorous note, Sardesai said, G.R. Viswanath would bring Mysore Pak for my father and it would be so heavy that it was hard to play afterwards. He also spoke about Dhoni and Kohli of the new age cricketers and their dedication and simplicity. Charu spoke about kabaddi and the soft power of sports.



The third panel was on writing about history perspectives in fiction, non-fiction and architecture. The panel had the young, promising author Anirudh Kanisetti, Nidhin Olikara, Mysuru’s Dr. Vishwanath and Dr. H.S. Champa discussing the perspectives of writing history.



The discussion went from what attracts people to history to the architecture of the past which keeps the stories alive, and how history transformed the world and continues to transform.
