From someone who shied away from talking to girls, to someone who is called as the new player by his friends.
From a selfish arrogant human, to someone who finds happiness in making others happy.
From someone who once cried throughout the year, to someone who cannot cry at all.
From an opening fast bowler in the school team, to someone who wants people to think beyond cricket.
From someone who had no interest in peoples lives, to someone who gossips like a girl.
From someone who took pride in the things he possessed, to someone who finds them immaterial.
From an atheist, to someone who was shown there exists a God.
A month back, I got beaten up by a batch mate of mine over something really stupid. I didn't fight back. I calmly walked away. People called me a coward. I wonder what is more courageous. Fighting back or moving on without uttering a word. After gaining years of experience in this field, I have realized, fighting only makes things worse. My conscience says I did the right thing.
But still events like these often make my mind ask this particular question - Have I changed for good?
