It is no secret that Mumbai is a very expensive city—and not just in terms of buying a new house but also renting one. 

In an  luxury Duplex Flat in Mumbai there was a boy standing near the window looking outside . The flat had 2 sea facing rooms and one room which faced the street.  

A lady was cleaning the room and keeping things in the place , the man was busy looking at the sports car model kept in the shelf. The lady who was the young man's mother had tears in her eyes when she saw him . She was never able to provide his son with any one them and still he never complained . The young boy grew up playing with the discarded cars and toys of the rich people . As soon as the boy saw tears in his mother's eyes he rushed to her without wasting a moment.

Boy: Mom , are you fine? Why are there tears in your eyes ? Did you get hurt , show me ?

Mom: No , nothing happened my boy I was just looking at you , how you have always compromised alot , I never got any new toys for you but you never complained

Boy: Mom that was a hard time , I now will study hard and make you proud . I should never see tears in your eyes . It is because of your hardwork that I am able to study so never blame yourself

Mom: I know you will my boy , now go and look at those cars and let me do my work because after a few hours  the flat owners are coming so I should complete the work 

With that the lady started cleaning again and the boy went and stood near the huge window

Boy: Mom come here , have a look

Mom: Ohh Boy , we can only see the street from that side , this window is not even sea facing so what is there to see

Boy: There is , there is the sky to see. The birds who fly high in the sky , it teaches you to dream big and soar high

Mom: You and your philosophy , come on my work is done lets go now , there is still some hours for your friend to come to this flat 

The boy and his mom returned to their servants room present in the basement of the building , the boy had lived there since his birth he always had a charming personality and high ambitions , he never let his poverty come in his way of achieving his dream of being able to provide a better future to his mother and sister . He helped his mother working at homes where as his sister worked in a shop in the local bazaar , her sister did not have interest in studies so quit school and started earning , he did part time job repairing cars while his dad was the door keeper . He had only one friend named, Dhruv who lived in that building only . Dhruv was in trauma after his mother's death and started avoiding people , he only interacted with the boy as he hated his dad as he thought that he was the reason behind his mothers death .

Beep , beep the horn of the car could be heard , the boy  rushed to the small window in his quarter to see if his friend had come and as expected Dhruv had come back from a tour to US as a vacation after exams . 

He rushed out to greet him as soon as possible , he ran out and hugged Dhruv who hugged him back , when he was about to shake his hands with Dhruv's dad he stepped back and told him to maintain distance as he was sick .

Ignoring his words both Dhruv and the boy went to the flat as they had to unpack his luggage before looking at their results

Both of them were unpacking the luggage when suddenly Dhruv's dad stepped in and removed many clothes from Dhruv's wardrobe

D.Dad: Boy , you can take these clothes , we have got new clothes for Dhruv and he might not need them , all of them are branded , I know you can't afford them but ya take them atleast you can have clothes to wear for university

Dhruv: Dad leave us alone 

With that D.Dad left the room and even though the boy  felt bad by his words he had a smile on his face . Dhruv looked at his smile and patted his back telling him to ignore his dad .

Dhruv: You go and keep all these clothes and suits downstairs then we will see our result

The boy did not have a laptop or android phone , he did not want to waste money on the cyber cafes so he had to wait for his friend to see the result. He kept all the branded clothes in his home which were never worn by Dhruv and did not matter to him but for the boy , they were important , they helped him look presentable . 

He rushed upstairs to see his result after getting wished by his mother and sister while his dad did not like it much as he wanted his son to earn and lead a lifestyle like them . According to him only a king's son can be a king and no common person but the boy did not believe it and the scholarship was his only way to pursue  his dreams  and become a big man.

Dhruv was not at all excited for the results , he always had no interest in studies but just because of his father he gave the exams. They logged into the site to see the result

First they saw the boy's result and saw that he had passed with flying colours , he was able to get full scholarship . They both squealed and hugged in joy . The boy  was on cloud nine , he was finally on his way to achieve his dreams .

Hearing the noise Dhruv's father came to his room and asked if Dhruv had passed

Dhruv: Dad , you wont believe it my friend has got full scholarship 

D.Dad: What about you Dhruv?

Dhruv: I have not checked mine but congratulate him first 

With a fake smile Dhruv's dad congratulated the boy 

Dad: Now check your result 

Dhruv checked his result and saw that he had failed , he could not believe it and started behaving like a mad man looking at the boy whom he claimed to be a friend with anger.

D.Dad: Boy you go out and tell your family let me see my son

After listening to his harsh words he started going out but stopped when he heard Dhruv's Dad 

D.dad:What did you do Dhruv? You couldn't even reach the servant's  level ? You couldn't even reach that low servants level? He is the one who needs to be below us but you could not even reach that door keeper's son level?

The boy  could hear his insults , he could not control more and ran out .

He went to the garden and his mind was again and again playing the mans words

He is a door keepers son , he can never be successful . He will always be dirty and low , he can never become a big man . He is a pig and will stay a pig only hahah

He remebered all the abuses he had to bear.

Was being in a poor family his fault?

Why could no one look at his skills?

Why can't he be successful?

Is only a king's son eligible to be a king?

Can't a common man rise up by his skills?

He did not wish to listen to all those and he had decided he was going to be an idol for those who dream . He was going to fulfil his dreams and be successful , he will prove the world that he is not just a door keepers son he is MANIK MALHOTRA the upcoming talent 

Manik was now determined to achieve his goals and prove that we all are equal and only talent is enough for one to make a mark , he was going to be the best businessman any one had seen

So it is revealed that the boy above is non other than Manik Malhotra , a boy of dreams .

Will he be able to achieve his dreams?

Few words about him?
