As I watched through the first half of M. S. Dhoni, my heart could resonate with the instances where he as a TC felt out of place and wanted to run away and pursue his passion. I have had the same feelings and even caught the train that would rescue me twice, but then, the incessant urge to better was curbed by family...society.
The same way as he ran, I too did, but a few are dhoni and not everyone... That's why he stands out. We teach our children to dream, we give them wings to fly, and when they start to fly, we show them that to lead a life you have to cut those wings and settle down as if you never had any. Life is tough, but that doesn't mean one should give up even before it starts unfurling. God made everyone equal and then, he added a catch, a trap of a secured future. What most blessed people do is avoid risk and happily enter the trap... These people someday become mediocre level management of a well paying company. When they die, they have property and a dozen to cry on their funeral. These people are those who had failed to realize that if they take a chance, they will be huge. Okay... It is not about being a big shot, but what matters is that when you die, there must be that one moment of satisfaction that you did what you had to do...You tried and by his grace, achieved what you were meant to. But, the people who die without being what they want to be, are also not dissatisfied... You know why, because as you grow up, your dreams start to fade away... As you adapt to the civilization, the child who used to dream, slowly succumbs to the pressures of the society and finally, as you age, you are oblivion to your own dreams. And that's why, not every man is a dhoni... Not every man is a Sachin...
P. S. - I am at that stage where the child inside me is suffering from cancer...

Every man is a Dhoni... Every man is a Sachin...

Restlessness
It is one of those days when I am sad... For no reason, as usual. May be, because I am upset with myself. There are no sorrows in my life because once I achieved something of which I am eating till date. But then, I did not capitalize on my initial success. I clinched such a good title in the beginning, but after that I fizzled out. I live like I have to lead this life just because I am alive. I don't know what my destiny is. My destiny is elusive and more because i dont chase it. People who were worse have achievements in their name and I am here, just existing. I know by the time I wake up tomorrow, all this shit will pass by, but is it really shit? Is it not a note to awaken till there is still time? Jaago!!!⏰

Blabber
I have got my SwiftKey keyboard which I ditched way back again and that brings me back to writing... Initially I typed on laptop, but with time laptops started feeling bulky and smartphones made there way in my life (like everyone else's) and I tried typing on nifty touchscreen keyboards but never comfortably. SwiftKey came into my life and my stint with blogging flourished again, thanks to its awesome predictions that did away most typos. One morning(or evening maybe) I deleted the app and from then onwards, blogging has missed me. I have tried to comeback sometimes, but those attempts failed. Today, I have got the god damn thing(or app) again and I feel like all my powress is restored again. Anyways, enough of bullshit. Today as I visited my blog after a zillion days, I started to get inspired by myself (of yesteryear though)...I could relate to the kids who started writing after reading all the bullshit I used to write😜. If ageing has done anything, it is just spoiling all good I had and lending me insane interest in electronics (which usually results in a retail therapy)... God technology is changing really fast. Sometimes I think, I have opted for the wrong profession... I should have gone for a degree in literature or journalism. But then I reject the idea of journalism completely. Literature would have done something good to a person who is bad with numbers and engineering. Even basic sciences would have suited me better than engineering. But then, God knows better. May be, I am a good engineer. From the time I have finished my graduation, I have been mostly confused. Most people figure out what they want from life by the time they come out of college, but whatever I have figured out, life has given me something different. May be my journey would be governed by God himself. Anyways, I am done with all I had to say. Next time, I will try to write something more thoughtful than my confusions.
