When I tried to keep Shivanand away by my thoughts the person who whelmed my thoughts is none other Rahul Dravid, the player of an Indian Cricket Team. It’s him who left his own impression in my life. My meet with him was in the year 1998. I still remember it was on May 6Th, just a day before my birthday. I was 16years old then. My cousin sister was a crazy fan of him. I used to like his play as well. It was the time when due to the politics he was thrown out of the national team having very good batting record.
When he’d come to Mangalore I met him at “Summer Sands” beach resort near Ullal, as my cousin sister wanted to meet him desperately. I was not a journalist or any one who is special but the way he behaved with us was really special. He is little shy but still calm and cool. I knew he was deeply hurt by the politics played behind his back at that time.
He faced criticism, the press …No one was kind to him even inside the team except few. Now imagine what would he have undergone-the pain, the anguish the frustration..! And in the end due to his self-belief, courage , determination , never say die attitude and genuineness he was able to maintain his position and rise as not only as reel hero but as a real hero. His hard work paid off and finally he is now considered as the one among the best player in the world.
One more thing he is very sensitive but doesn’t show it. Funniest thing was we met him around 6.30AM early morning!!! That’s day when they were about to leave. Only I knew about this information, as I was little close with the staffs of the resort .Even after the departure he called up to me from
But most of times fans don’t try to understand the nice people. Something happened after someday a girl named ‘Kshama’ visited Dravid’s house and continuously forced him to marry her, as he was the most eligible bachelor among all celebrities. Rahul convinced her a lot and tried to realise the situation. She threatened him saying if he didn’t marry her she would not marry anyone and would commit suicide in front of him. Shocking thing was she’d even brought the poison. In spite of everyone’s effort she didn’t understand, as she wanted to marry him at any cost. Later there itself she took the poison! Rahul and his parents admitted her to the hospital and informed her parents. It is a true incident that happened! The price for being good and famous. Ufff! So think again before becoming a celebrity!
Do you wanna be a celebrity???
I think people live for only worldly goals. Their entire sense of identify and self-worth comes from the pursuit and achievement of materialistic aims such as wealth sensual pleasure, possessions and positions. This definition of success in terms of material achievements lies at the root of suicidal thought. Why? Because people pursuing such goals will sooner rather than later, be comforted with a situation where they will fail to gain or fear the failure to gain what they crave for, and similarly those who possess these things will be faced with situations where they lose or fear to lose what they live for. In such situations people become so disentitles and purposeless that they feel life not worth living. And disturbing one’s very existence appears to be the only escape.
There were only few months left in my life for the same situation, but I was not behind any worldly goals but still I had to face a situation where I broke down totally.
It was the time where I had to face the fate's bolt!
It was the time when he (?) walked in when rest of the world walked out!
