1983 World cup heroes me too - for few

It just reminds me of an incident during May 83.
It was the day of Cricket World cup Finals.
I was in Hyderabad in my brother's house.
On that day morning our TV failed.
Few families (mind you there were couple of beautiful young girls) in the neighbourhood, were dependent on this TV set for watching the grand Finale.

Focus shifted on me.

After all I have completed 4 years (of 5 years) in Electronics & Communication Engineering and supposed to know 80% of everything electronics ( TV radio...) So I am supposed to service and make TV set good. (I could not say TV is not my elective subject ) So I did what best I could think of under the given circumstance.
I demanded for a screw driver opened the cover of TV set and cleared all the dust inside. I put the cover back and switched the set 'ON'
Bravo! It started working normally.
None of them believed that I have not done anything.
They thought that I had actually serviced (& trying to be modest).
Any way we enjoyed the Indian victory thoroughly .
