Balancing on a tightrope

From being a Ticket Collector to becoming the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team, MS Dhoni never let his hopes fly too high, the labyrinth in between taught him better. To expect something from others is to pave a path for disappointment and grief to reach you with your own two hands, it was a hard-learned lesson, one MS was not keen to forget anytime soon or ever. Though he did have a few expectations from himself and he worked hard to be on par with them, come hell or high water. What he did not foresee was getting attatched to his juniors to the extent that he gave their words the power and stature to penetrate his armour, to hurt so viscerally.
