When I was just 12, I won my first trophy playing cricket . Holding that Man of the Match award felt like I had win the world. And then, I dreamt of being a cricketer, just like every Indian kid does.
Over time, the dream of being a cricketer became a sweet memory, like a favorite bedtime story. Life moved on, bringing more things to do and learn. School became a big part of my days, and the big dreams of playing cricket on TV felt a bit far away. But that little trophy with "Man of the Match" stayed with me, quietly telling stories of fun and dreams.
Now, when I see that trophy, it's like looking at an old photo album. Even though I didn't become a famous cricket player, that small win still feels big in my heart. It's not just about the dreams I had at 12, it's about holding the happiness that cricket brought me, even as I faced the realities of life.
Now, as I look at that same trophy, it's like a time machine. Life happened, and I didn't become a professional cricketer, but that trophy is still my little piece of victory. It reminds me of the dreams I had as a kid and the joy of playing the game I loved. It's a reminder that winning isn't only about big stadiums, it's about the joy we find in every game, every good move, and every time the ball hits the boundary.
Life turned out a bit different than what that 12-year-old dreamer imagined. But, looking at this trophy, I learn that winning isn't just about big things. victories come in various forms. And sometimes small victories become more memorable than big ones.
At the end i would only wanted to say,
छोटे से क्रिकेट मैच में,
पहला मैन ऑफ़ द मैच मिला था।
उस छोटे से ट्रॉफी में छुपा,
क्रिकेट मेरा सपना बन चुका था।
