00:00I used to be proud of my bowling.
00:02When I entered IIT, I said I would be surely in the college team.
00:06And there was Mayank Mahe, handsome, third year student, my senior.
00:11I was asked to bowl at the Nets, first ball.
00:14I said, I'll be smart, clever.
00:16I'll ball him a Yorker.
00:17And a Yorker it was.
00:19Mayank just takes his leg out of the way.
00:23The Yorker, instead of hitting his toe, becomes a low full toss and out.
00:30This was the first time someone had did that to me.
00:34And I'm telling you all, he was handsome.
00:38He used to hit the gym when he was on the bike.
00:42He was like a prince to watch.
00:43And he was an IITian, first attemptee.
00:46He was a senior.
00:47We could go to him at four in the morning and he would not frown at all.
00:53And there were people like these who would bunk classes,
00:55who would not find anything interesting,
00:58who would not be excelling in anything.
01:00My experience has been that those who excel excel in multiple fields.
01:06And those who are bored and lifeless are lifeless in every field.
01:11It's all interrelated.
01:12Everything is connected to the next thing.
