It's not every day that you find a member of the Indian cricket team dole out life lessons to you, but that's exactly what Ajinkya Rahane did to a few kids from Chembur's Children Aid Society, during the first edition of Meet Your Icon last week. The boys, hailing from lesser-privileged backgrounds, smartly dressed in their whites, may have never had the thrill of witnessing a chat show with their idol, Rahane as the guest, but they left the lounge armed with an experience of a lifetime.

Rahane, a true ambassador of the sport, gave stardom a break and struck a chord while interacting with the kids. Such was his humility that when one of them asked him whether he was a good student, he remarked, "Till now, I am not, but I am learning to become one. In life, you never become perfect, you always keep striving to. Even if you do well, don't think that you have accomplished a lot. If you keep thinking that you want this or that, then it never comes to you. Just let it go and things will automatically start coming to you," he said.
