They say its the teens and twenties that make a man and what the world makes of him and this is also a period of time when he is greatly influenced by the role models he looks up to and attempts to emulate. I would like to write on a few I have always looked up to and still do.
These personalities are drawn from different walks of life. They are the gods and then there are others...
Sachin Tendulkar
For the last 21 years, he has been a phenomenon to reckon. He has gone past tags such as best batsman in the world and transcended to a plane where no man has ever gone. Close to a hundred 100s, he is a legend who nobody may be able to surpass. The best aspect about him is that even todau when he takes guard, he brings with him the same amount of passion to the game, the same level of ethics and team spirit. Even today the country winning brings more joy than achieving personal milestones.
A great human being and a fabulous ambassador of the game of cricket.
Top qualities: focus, concentration, goal-oriented, self-belief, humility, fair play, passion
Mahendra Singh Dhoni
When the cricketing fraternity was in turmoil with the 'cricketing greats' with illustrious profiles and reputations would often choke to produce results, there came a young man from the small town of Ranchi, whose appearance was in tune with his intentions. A strong man with broad shoulders capable of shouldering immense burden, flowing mane of hair with a fearless heart. He believed in keeping things simple and sticking to basics. He inculcated the value of playing with pride, for honor - to never give up without a fight and gradually the team comprising individual stalwarts formed orbits around this center of inspiration.
The T20 World Cup, The ODI World Cup and India as the No. 1 Test Playing nation are a result of sublime leadership of this man who could channelize the talent to tangible outcomes. The Indian cricket team had never been short of talent.

An actor par excellence, who has consistently been at the top for more than 21 years, he has transformed from an actor to an entertainer.

A musical whizkid who has broken the frontiers of excellence in creation of music. He experimented and innovated with music and changed the landscape of Indian film music and private albums.
