The dot on the horizon you have been chasing since you were a child never truly gets closer, but that the chase itself is the life, the whole life, and to stop, for the flame to extinguish, would be a kind of death more final than anything the body could suffer.
What we see in these elite athletes as an extreme situation and what they are putting their body through might in fact just be one step in their life and process. They might have endured a million such difficulties, albeit on a small scale, on their way to that moment where we witness the extreme incident. So for them it could just be one more hurdle to cross. But Rohit's mention of the fire in the cauldron being representative of the fire within the athlete is quite telling. Through the daily grind, that fire has been built up in the athlete. I long for building such a thing within myself. Thanks for the article, Sarthak. Always a pleasure.
Sarthak's overwhelming passion and detailing keep the readers on the brink of awe and admiration.He picks on the death-defying sports that many in India would not be following or even be aware of.Save the egregious game of cricket which like a stealthy shadow has darkened all else that was loved once.i need not underline in all of my reactions here that Sarthak amazes and enthrals me.
Ek he dil hai Sarthak, kitni baar jeetoge? The amount of brain widening you have done for me is truly something I am grateful for. Pls dont stop. Kya likhte ho yaar tum
"The flare of skill, the burn of bravery and the flickΒerΒing of audaΒcity" does that illuminate the only chase of life in which the horizon does not get any closer or the dot any the bigger is the question that the author is fearful to ask. He will not dare to defy the Gods of the game, for he respects what he does not understand, perhaps.

What writing and so much enlightening.

Thank you, Rakhi!

Always so kind. Thanks man :)
On second thought the cricketers look pale and painted unworthy of being seen alongside of the others.

In the meanwhile we are left breathless.
