The other side of Kalyan Chaubey

What would a soccer player do at his spare time? Spend quality time with his family, help the football coaching camp at his neighbourhood, work as a commentator for a sports channel, or double up as a columnist for a news daily.

But one would never think of a translating a 280-odd-page book in his playing heydays and that too on a topic, which is remotely related to football. That’s Kalyan Chaubey for you, TFA graduate, former national keeper, and currently on the rolls of Mumbai FC.

Kalyan has translated an entire book from English to Bengali (his first language) on the daily life of Sai Baba of Shirdi, miraculous Guru and Yogi who is regarded by his followers as an incarnation of god. He has achieved this feat with any assistance from co-authors.

This is indeed a great achievement, may Sai Baba bestow his blessings to you!
