[This is a sequential story. So, please read the story in the following order; suswasa and telephone, suswasa and telephone-2, suswasa and telephone-3 and suawasa and telephone-4]
So far…: Suswasa is a lazy looking man but with lots of common sense. The misty man in his noontime dream shows a black telephone lying in a junkyard and tell Suswasa that if he finds that telephone instrument and keeps it in the northeast portion of the living room, fortune would follow him like his own shadow.
Suswasa succeeds in finding the black telephone. The telephone informs Suswasa not to speak until he reaches home, in order to get the fortune. Spotting the black telephone seen in his noontime dream made Suswasa to firmly believe that the dream will turn real. He was determined to bring the black telephone and install at northeast portion of his living room so that he can enjoy the fortune that is going to follow.However, each time he was tricked to speak out and the telephone vanishes, saying it can be found at the junkyard again but only after the next sunrise.
DHONI’S INTERVIEW.
Suswasa got a brilliant idea to hoodwink the black telephone. Now he had known the pattern. So he decided to reach Telepuram early in the morning just before sunrise. So that he can pick up the black telephone soon after the sunrise and drive back home fast, as there will be no traffic. This way he can reach home before it finishes its story and Suswasa can avoid speaking!
Suswasa was waiting for the sunrise at Telepuram junkyard. The black telephone appeared as soon as the first rays of the sun touched the earth.
As planned, Suswasa grabbed the telephone immediately and started driving home fast.
Then as usual the black telephone started ringing…. And Suswasa dutifully followed the instructions and put on his blue tooth earphone. Suswasa was confident of reaching home before the end of the story, as the road was free of traffic. He was ready to listen to the story.
Taka and Naka couple were watching TV together on a Sunday morning. They wanted to enjoy the Sunday thoroughly and make it memorable, as it was their wedding anniversary day. So they had decided not to fight and argue on any issue, the whole day. So they did not touch the remote and were watching the channel being displayed, when they put on the TV.
Interview with Dhoni was being telecast.
Interviewer : “Sir, you have become the most popular figure among cricket loving fans. Your fans were sporting long hairs and even a head of the state admired your long hairs. Now that you cut your hairs, it has set a trend and your fans are all opting military cut. With such a close scrutiny and the pressures of leadership, how are you maintaining your cool?”
Dhoni: “Yeah, I was amazed at the adulations received on winning T20 world cup from the same fans that had drubbed us when we failed to qualify for the world cup matches held earlier in West Indies. So in order to understand the handling of ups and downs of life and to bring a semblance of balance in my life, I sought a counsel from my guru N-joy Baba. That was a wonderful experience. When I entered his room, I was surprised to see its transformation into a five star hotel suite from its dilapidated status earlier. N-joy Baba reading my mind, told me that this transformation was courtesy 'The all India association of hair dressing salons'. The office bearers were doubly happy because you had won the T20 world cup and more so because you had cut your hairs. But the fact is none of your fans turned out to be Dhoni, whether they had long hair or not. You remain as Dhoni only.
Then N-joy Baba blessed me touching my head and became silent. I felt a great surge of energy flowing through my body and there was a perfect understanding of myself.
At this point, the interviewer said “Dhoni’s understanding will be brought you in a few moments, till then stay tuned” and there was a commercial break.
Now Taka and Naka started surfing the channels. There were advertisements, serials, news, cricket match replays, cooking lessons and so on. After all these, they tuned back into the channel where Dhoni’s interview was being telecast.
The interviewer was shaking hands with Dhoni and the programme was over.
Taka and Naka were very much interested to know Dhoni’s experience but their surfing habit did not allow them to come back quickly to the original channel. The resolution of wedding anniversary broke down. They started blaming each other.
“What was the necessity to watch the highlights of the match, when you had seen whole match’s live telecast?”
“But you wasted more time by waiting for the new recipe’s ingredients”.
“No, you wasted the time to watch nauseating news”.
“But didn’t you stop at that serial showing 300th episode? Any way it will be repeated again”…..
After this there was a silence for a moment and suddenly there was a loud laughter from the black telephone. “Suswasa you can not hoodwink me. Now you tell me what was the Dhoni’s understanding?” Said the black telephone!
Suswasa got frightened. The story was very short unlike previous ones and he was still one and a half kilometre away from his home. So he had no other choice but to speak up.
“N-joy Baba gave a very good example of the people who flaunted long hair, today are rushing to salons to cut their hair. The intention is same – to look like Dhoni. The irony is, none of them became Dhoni in the past and none will be in future too. But their action surely affected some other people.
So Dhoni started following his own ways irrespective of what the media, fans and self-styled advisers were professing. However, he kept the interest of the team foremost, behind everything else.
He never thought of becoming like a swash buckling Kapildev or record breaking Sachin Tendulkar while batting and the great captains like Gavaskar or Steve Wagh while leading.
He is also aware that all our actions will affect others in some or the other way. And that is the way life has bundled the package deal. So instead of worrying about them, Dhoni simply kept choosing the actions which he thought was appropriate. So he was able to live each moment to its fullest potential.
This is the best way of balancing life against all odds and evens!
The N-joy Baba’s Zen type message had immense effect on Dhoni.”
Suswasa though in desperation, quickly came to term with fact that he needs to make another trip to Telepuram, the next morning.
