MS Dhoni turns 40. What a fantastic career MSD has had. A true leader who gave people the power to believe in their abilities. Here's his journey & some unheard stories #HappyBirthdayDhoni
1. MS Dhoni attended DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir in Ranchi. Played badminton & basketball too. Was goalkeeper & once his school coach KR Banerjee asked him if he would like to keep wickets for the cricket team. MS agreed & that's how his cricketing journey began #MSDhoni
2. MS Dhoni made a name for himself & was selected in Bihar U-19 team for Cooch Behar Trophy in 1998-99. In the tournament, Dhoni scored 185 runs in 5 matches at an avg of 37 with 1 fifty! The next year was his last chance of getting in the India U-19 team! #HappyBirthdayDhoni

So what’s trending? #MSDhonibirthday ! Day after deescalation, #Ladakh is of cursory interest to Tweeple. What does it say for public keeping an eye on Chowkidaar? Chinese ain’t morons. There’s method in their aggression. What was their aim & did they achieve it? My take:
1. PLA moved upto/past claimed lines, killing 20 Indian soldiers & defying nucl. weapon armed neighbour to warn others i.e. skinning the cat to frighten monkeys 2. Forced PM Modi on backfoot at home/abroad. 3. Mutual pullback demilitarises some areas India patrolled/controlled.
4. Opened new claim in E.Bhutan to insert land wedge between Bhutan & Arunachal Pradesh, flanking Tawang. It also like Doklam would test India-Bhutan solidarity. 5. Tested quasi-alliances of India with Australia/Japan/US(QUAD) & Indo-Pacific concept. 6. Big Q: Pangong Tso lake!
