From the Playfield to Business School

Chak De India might have refueled the spirit of Hockey in India but when its terms of business for some people its still the chase of their choices & priorities.

You guess it right; it’s about Viren Rasquinha the 27-year old center forward from Indian Hockey. The man called it off from the game on Tuesday, January 15th.

As a young lad he stood 13th in 10th standard merit list in ’96 that marked his 1st major stint to the academic greatness, but however came the Hockey in between. Here are some of the flashes of his talent –

International Appearances - 180

Medals

Gold – Junior World Cup 2001
Silver – Asian Games 2002
Gold – Asia Cup 2003
Gold – Afro-Asian Games 2003

Captain - 2 tests against Pakistan

World Cup Appearance - Munchengladbach, 2006

Awards - Arjuna Award 2005

But as they say in the B-world the portfolio should go on expanding the wide horizons of life encashing the best of opportunities so be it. The man will be now moving on to the business world as a 1 year course from ISB, Hyderabad.

So does it means that he chased a game that didn’t meant to be his flavor of life or he wasn’t strategically fit for it to make it the best the nation can have.

Often people make some choices in their life & then one day they realize that may be that wasn’t me. Do they lack decision making skills or are they unaware of their talents in the right sense?

Does it leave a statement for you ?? May be its still the time for you to read between the lines…
