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

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...
