Dhoni goes back to school

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, cricketer cum poster-boy is now interested in educating himself further. He is 28 years old and by this time in life most MBBS’s and CA’s too are through reading college books. Actually, most people these days hate college books at 18, and returning to them after you are the captain of the Indian Cricket ODI team sounds a little absurd.

Dhoni has enrolled himself in a course at Xavier’s College in Ranchi called Office Management and Secretarial Practice and says he wants to be treated just like a batch mate and not a celebrity, which I think is directly proportional to the amount of security he will take along for the lectures. He says he is even open to the idea of getting ragged too and will try and be as regular as he did not even bunk lectures in school ( no one’s allowed that!! ) plus you were not the captain of the cricket team then now were you?

The Principal of the college says that the course Dhoni has chosen is really easy and that even with the most hectic schedules, it should not be difficult to get done with. He is however really worried about the security issues that might result because of Dhoni’s celebrity stature.
