'I had been to the World Travel Mart, London [Images] (Nov 12 - 15 2007) for an official trip. I was very lucky to have met Sir Vivian Richards at the World Travel Mart. I have been his die-hard fan since childhood and it was like dream come true,' writes Vinod.

'When I requested him to pose for a snap with me, he just did it with a smile and no hesitation. There was absolutely no 'celebrity' strings attached to this gentleman. He was well-built, cool and casual and I was thrilled to have met him.'
