Boys don't cry

The Wimbledon 2012 finals was a riveting contest between Roger Federer and Andy Murray.In the end the match was won by Federer but my heart went out for Murray.His frank admission of wanting to win the championship badly.The tears flowing out of his eyes only made him more human.Some will say "Boys don't cry" ,but every Boy has cried sometime or the other sometime in his life and if anyone mocks at Murray,he should look deep inside ask himself doesn't human frailty 
makes it that much more human.
Ending as a Runner up is disappointing ,one might call it a personal victory of sorts but a loss is a loss.So near and yet so far,one chance to make it big and you definitely want to make it count. I could empathise with Murray,during 
 my final year in college I became the contingent leader for my college festival "Brouhaha".Being a romantic I wanted to give a fitting tribute to my college by winning the Festival.
We performed quite well in the Literary arts & Performing arts department but performed badly in the Fine Arts.This debacle in the Fine Arts cost us dearly and we lost the championship by a margin of mere 5 points.A
ll dreams of giving the victory speech in front of my college had crashed.When 
I received the runner's up trophy I had to put up a strong face ,but inside I knew that this moment was never going to come back again ever in my life.I wish I had the courage to be as honest as Andy Murray :)
