The comments made by his very own students from the U-19 says so. “He would allow us to do a few things here and there, but we had to be back in our hotel by a certain time.” He then added that they were in fact scared of Dravid and never thought of breaking the curfew he had put in place.
“Actually we were a bit scared of sir. And we thought we should not break the curfew, so we never did it. Honestly, we didn’t. Well, we did think about it a few times but then we reasoned that ‘nahi yaar, sir would have had something in mind when putting a curfew in place, so let’s follow it’, adding that he hopes to take a late night stroll in Australia sometime in the future.”
Well, thats Dravid for you all.
