The second person I contacted was Dhirubhai Ambani, the billionaire industrialist. I had known him for a while through a Delhi based common friend. Ambani was amazed to see a comparatively junior officer approaching him on mundane matters like opening up the roadblock to my meeting with Bal Thackrey, the Shiv Sena supremo, Keshu Bhai Patel, a BJP leader from Gujarat and Chhabil Das Mehta, than Chief Minister of Gujarat.
