Sanju Samson was the hope of millions who for whatever reasons failed to secure a respectable means of income and suffered the humiliation of being second rate in the society. They, as they moved on with life, learned to be good at what ever little opportunity life had brought them through perseverance and hard work. Sanju, the reject from the national team, when he became the captain of the Rajasthan Royal and started showing some hope for these millions of us that a second rate could be the best too with the skills and degrees earned from the university of life. That hope was shattered yesterday, when he failed himself when it mattered most and his team as a whole looked like, well, us playing cricket in the waste dumps and parking lots with not even the slightest hope of making it to even a Panchayat team. It was not at all about losing, it was everything about the way of losing- without a fight.
No bro, we are not disappointed with you or your team, only we realize we
are not yet men who carve out their place in the world and we still have miles
to go and the energy for that journey should come within ourselves. Never mind
our new 10,000 rupee smart phone overheated and used up half of its active life
watching you and your team for the inspiration to lift up ourselves from our
own littleness in this wonderful world of achievers celebrated by their
creators.
Best wishes mate, don’t lose it for yourself, we are still standing!
