He used to collect the wrapper of this chocolate in his diary. So that one can know how much of their shortcomings have been rectified. He worked hard and got selected in Maharashtra Under 14 team. But he got disheartened after failing in the initial matches. He started crying in solitude on his failure, then he understood that success will be achieved not by shedding tears but by sweating. That's why he started working hard once again.
