A Child's Dream

This is the poem which got me the Runners up in GRAVITY 2 Poetry Competetion....

When i went to my couch,
It was around 10 in the night;
After 33 long years in my life
Is my achievement worth strife?

I slowly closed my eyes
Life rewinded year wise.
From 33 to 32 to 31
It came to a stop at 5.

I remember that day,
As if it was just yesterday!
The chubby kid, with curly hair,
Was posing cutely for a photograph.

Though, it was just a small step
It ahs become my life's best.
That day i started to grow,
From then things started to flow.

My brother realized my potential,
Helped me not to feel emotional,
Family support was sensational
That made my life fictional.

My father signed my first contract
From that day life has been on track!
I was a prodigy at sixteen,
And became a star at eighteen.

Tons and Tons of runs
Loads of scalps, helping wins.
As records kept me above the rest,
People started calling me the best.

All alone i couldn't have done this;
It was because of the 3 Fs;
My Family, friends and Fans
Helped me win life's wars.

Above all, the blessings of the Lord
Has helped me in being called Cricket's God.
At 5, I was just Sachin Tendulkar,
At 33, i am one of the best Cricketer.

Can people be changed??

Do people change with time??? Is it easy to change the basic character of a person??If someone had asked me these questions a week or two back, i would have staright answered a big NO.... But today to me it looks as if its possible. Probably because of the change which came in me because of a friend. And i should probably say a BIIIIG THANKS to the person who taught me how to change.
A person can change, even the very basic character when we properly understand the need to change and are able to understnad the pros and cons of the change. As it happened with me, expecting people to behave in a particulatar way or jus expectations on everyone was my basic character. I have suffered a lot because of this, a lot of disappointments and mental pressures.
Thats when, this friend of mine told me a simple trick, simple but very powerful. The trick was be what you are, do what you can but dont expect. Only when you want them to do something and when they dont do it, you get disappointed, stop that and you will feel happy. It wasnt a easy thing to do but it made me think and i decided to try out and it did work. It couldn't find a reason to be upset or to cry. I just did my work and did my best and forgot it.Never bothered more about it.
Thats it Friends, every problem in life has a simple solution.You just need to find it or you need to have great friends like the ones i have to help you find it..
Be Happy and Keep Smiling :)
