What will I be?
Yesterday, I was watching the 4th ODI between India and South Africa. Needless to say, India were in a really bad shape (they were batting, and two wickets were already down). Mohd. Kaif was batting when I happened to notice a black band around his arm. Even Sehwag, his batting partner, had the same thing on. I asked my friends what it signified. I was told that some eminent cricketing personality had passed away, hence it was a sign of respect for the poor fellow..
I then remarked that such an eminent personality he was in his lifetime, did so much for Indian cricket, and all he got at the end of his life was a black band! Harish, my friend, then said that at least he got that -we won't even get that much! This remark made me think, "That's true!". I mean, I am nothing special... Have not done anything so great so far. It's just been a normal and a pretty ordinary path I've taken till now, to be where I am today. But, at the end of my life, besides my friends and family, will I be mourned by others as well? Do I have that in me to make something out of my life? Do I want it bad enough to make it happen for me? At the end of my life, I asked myself, what will I be?
