Seagulls can teach us to be better people. One seagull, in particular, taught Rahul Dravid to be the man he is today.
In this episode, we discuss the fable of an extraordinary bird in - “Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a story”. This seagull did not want to scream “Mine” and chase fishing boats for crumbs like the seagulls in Finding Nemo. He wanted to soar high and low, fast and slow, in light and dark, and from dawn to dusk. All he wanted to do was fly. This kind of obsession brings solitude.
Dravid has time and again credited this book to give him inspiration as a budding 16-year old cricketer. In the seagull, he saw the attitude of consistently learning and always teaching. He wanted to be better than he was yesterday. He wanted to impart to the younger generation what he learnt. He wanted to be like Jonathan Livingston.
In this book lies principles that took Dravid from a young cricketer to The Wall, to the coach of the India A and the India under-19 team, and finally to Indiranagar Ka Gunda.
