He was back home. After all those weeks of continuous hustle and bustle, he was back to his family. Playing cricket was something that made him the person he was. Calculative yet a risk taker. He was a calm person yet there were a few moments of aggression. He was cool yet he had his own shares of angry outbursts. Not that anyone knew about it. Well, for the world he was the second Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The captain cool. But he knew himself better. He remembered the interview of MS Dhoni where he had left a message for him.

The interviewer was very curious to know what the former captain thought of his apparent protege.

Interviewer: So MS, aaj tak jab bhi captain cool ka naam aaya, it was always only one name in our minds. Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The team had many captains after you for different formats and series. And now, once again, we have a new captain. Someone who is more like your carbon copy. Same calm and collected mindset. Manav Singh Dwivedi. And hey, even he is MSD. What do you think of him? Any tips for the young man?

MS Dhoni: Well, sabse pehle to I am glad to know that you think so high of me. But as you said, the Indian cricket team has seen too many captains so far. Each different from the previous ones. Be it in terms of behaviour, mindset or potential. They all gave some very good memories to the ICT. Something the team will always be proud of. Coming to the new captain. I am happy to know and to see someone so much like me. It's really a very different feeling. Like you always hear people telling you, "Oh, yes your son/daughter is so much like you." And it somehow makes you feel proud. But I personally feel, Manav, I am happy that people see you as second Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but, I shall be the happiest to know that you became the first Manav Singh Dwivedi.

Those were the words of the legend that helped him move on. It helped him move forward after every win, every loss, every smartness, and every stupidity he performed.

He was back after his morning jog only to find his mother standing near the porch waiting for him. He shook his head knowing she always did this. Even after he told her so many times to not wait for him like that, she still did the same despite the fact that she had serious knee issues.

Manav: Maa, aap kab tak aise wait karengi? Waise hi ghutno me dard rehta hai, aap maanti hi nahi.

His mom said nothing more than the smile she always gave him as she went back to bring his juice.

Manav Singh Dwivedi belonged to a middle class family of Muzaffarpur, Bihar. Growing up in a family where studies were always the prime focus, it wasn't easy for him to make a career in cricket. His choice wasn't much welcomed. But even after all the rocky roads he had to travel, he was glad to be where he was, today.

Her job was something she loved. She loved the smiles on the faces of new mothers and fathers. It gave her a satisfaction to know that she played a part in bringing out that smile and joy.

Working in Aiims Patna, Dr. Ojasvi Shahi is one of the best gynaecologists in the country. At a young age of 25 years, she has already made a big name for herself in the medical field. From doing the most complicated laproscopic surgery to going through one of the very difficult normal deliveries, making sure that she managed to keep both the mother and the twins alive, Ojasvi had done it all.

Belonging to a middle class family of Muzaffarpur, Bihar, Ojasvi always knew where her priorities lied. She loved her family too much. For her, they were the ones she'd do anything for. Though, her extended family dimensions were not something she was fond of, she had her own world among her parents and her younger brother. She had two uncles with her father being the middle brother. The elder one, who had always subtly but definitely taunted her parents about her being a girl and the younger one, who maintained quite some distance from her and her parents. And for the record, bother her uncles had sons. No daughter. This also made her the only girl in the generation.

While on one hand her uncles had always taunted her, Ojasvi's grandmom was quite a feminist. She loved her two daughters. And after them, Ojasvi too. Though her grandfather was another matter all together. He was someone who never spoke much. There were hardly any times when Ojasvi had a few words with him. Nothing much. But yeah, she had heard her dadi maa saying about how he would sometimes talk to the people in their village regarding her and how she was quite a sharp kid, the topper of the family.

All in all Ojasvi didn't complain. Though she didn't had a luxurious childhood, her parents made sure she had everything that she needed.

As a child, she never knew how lucky she was that her parents, despite of all the hardships and taunts decided to take her away to the city for her to get quality education. Her father always said that he had two kids and he would first look after the education of his first child and then the second. It was only after she had passed out her 10th and gone to her village, when she saw something that blew her mind. The girls of her age were either getting married or they were being taught to manage households. They were not allowed to study after 10th. And the most they could do was study till 12th but stay at home. No tuitions, no schools, only exams. That was the first time when Ojasvi really felt how lucky she had been. Not only did her parents made sure to educate her, they also gave her a choice to choose her own profession.

The day she had started earning, Ojasvi had also started to finance her brother's education. Though, it was a well known fact that her brother was a better athlete than student. This also meant that he was looked down upon by most of their relatives. Ojasvi was the first person who convinced her parents to let her brother play ahead. He had started playing in the inter-school Karate championship and now was a national player. But alongside, her parents made sure that he had a stable job for himself too. And thus, now at the age of 17 he was studying in IIT, Mumbai.

Both her parents were working. While her father had a private job, her mother was a contractual governmental nurse. They were not very well to do. But it was okay. Ojasvi made sure to make use of every penny her parents spent on her. And same was the case with her brother. Though, he had his moments where he wished for something gaudy and showy, he also knew his limits. He knew what his parents or sister could afford. And it was only after Ojasvi had cleared her PG, she started investing for her family.

And now, she knew what her parents wanted from her. She always did.

Marriage!
