An Ode to my Grandmother


I am a part of you. My thoughts have been shaped by the principles you imbibed in me. I am kindest to the weak and toughest to the punk. Honesty is something that governs my actions, you haven’t taught me to fudge relations, I value people who are straightforward and modest and haven’t learnt to stand double faceted people. I feel blessed to have learnt the values of simplicity and patience. My struggle would not have been sweeter, but for your support. My maturity stems from your steadying touch, my compassion towards life and mankind is a prelude to you. People love me for the person you have made out of me, people adore me for the values you taught me, people look up to me finding a part in me of you. You have taught me to pray, you have taught me to help, you have taught me to be the best I can and yet be the modest of all. I have learnt to stand tall against fear, I have learnt to fight till my last breath. My life that I have seen and yet to see, will be a testament to you. But I fear if I will be the same, until I am born again of you. For now, I am a part of you.

However, its much more than that, its some of the most life defining lessons that this man has given us over the years and we all aspire to take some or all of it in our lives.   Coming from a humble background, MS Dhoni always understood the values and virtues of being grounded. The first and the most important life lesson that this man gives us is to be

"Striving to Turn Back"

Life is not about achieving goals,its not about being rich,its not about imposing yourself on somebody,its not about complains and hatred,its not about having materialistic possessions,its not about sarcasm,its not about competition,its not about jealousy...but Life is all about being a Good Human Being,being simple,being honest,being someone who fears God,being somebody who wants to bring a change,being someone to wants to bring smile on people's face. We all strive very hard to get into Top colleges..Top companies..Top People..We bring attitude in our self, we start believing that we are indispensible..that we are Everything and that Nothing is beyond us, and in the process we forget that there are so many people around us who strive equally hard..who fight like we do,but somehow do not make it..there are so many people around us who are not as privileged as we are..who are not as physically capable as we are..and we turn our backs on them saying that they are small
