I set myself punishing schedules. I used to train so hard that several times I had to be carried home on a stretcher."
X shot into limelight when he took part in a sporting event in 1954 in Patiala. The Maharajah of Patiala was on the look out for young sportspersons for the Melbourne Olympics. He was impressed with X's action, and, thanks to him, he was sent for a coaching camp in Bangalore.
