You remember those days, when your dad used to come out when you play.. and you desperately wanted to hit the next ball for a six, only to get those bails knocked off. And then he would ask, to play for one ball and hit it out of the park. Hero.
Things change as time goes by.. your dad struggles to compete against those fighter plane pilots and JAG lawyers.. But still, he was your first. And he rocked!!
Heroes are difficult people. They seem so personal, yet so distant. Your adrenaline rushed when you saw a documentary on them; your flesh turned bumpy like a goose when they spoke, let alone sing.. live!! But they never quite did it for you, did they? Your walls would disagree, I guess.
I also went through a phase of absolute arrogance when I thought an individual who looks up to a person, is too small. Weak, even.. Why do you need someone to show you the way, when you have the wings, yourself? I wanted to touch the literal skies. Adolescence.. ah!!
It's not wrong to have heroes.. neither is it belittling. Heroes are great signposts, (not of course, if they have hair longer than your sister's - my mom's line), they are just, not GODs!!

Am I ? (rhetorical)
*I do not judge people. People are what they are, because they have reasons to be what they are.
Fact:I wince when a bum crosses me.
*I do not enter into intelligent conversations because I feel they are just slugfests to prove how good you are at paraphrasing others’ great thoughts.
Fact:I am a religious viewer of “The Big Fight”, “We, The People” and the likes.
*I read books to satiate my appetite for knowledge. They act as stimulators for my thought processes originating from the topics they present.
Fact:I check the weekly Book Reviews as a guiding source.
*I believe in living a simple, uncomplicated life
Fact: My ex is seeing my best friend; I am going out with her cousin.
*I write, not for people to appreciate my creativity or humour, but to explore my psyche.
Fact: How can people appreciate non-existential entities?
*I want to do my bit for the society, however small it is. I do not expect recognition or reward for these efforts.
Fact:I feel it was nice of the local newspaper to have covered the social awareness programme.
*Pretty faces do not fascinate me. I look at the person within.
Fact:I wish my platonic female friend would groom herself more often.
*I do not carry grudges. Water under the bridge. By gones.
Fact:The bridge still remains.
*Am I a pseudo? No.
Fact: Nobody REALLY cares.
Knock knock..
Who s there?
Company.
