Mumbai, Sept. 26 : Before Team India's new young captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni swims in his own under construction swimming pool at his Ranchi-home, he was greeted with the city rain and he saw people had happy tears in their eyes when they gathered to see the glimpse of their TwentyTwety World Cup heros.

"The Jharkhan State government has given a green-signal to him for the construction of a swimming pool at his new house", Madhu Koda, the chief minister and Sudhir Mahto, the Deputy Chief Minister told this scribe over their mobiles from Ranchi. "Few neighbours had objected to Dhoni family constructing a swimming pool when they have been facing scarcity of water problem but the same neighbours are repenting for their objections now and they want Dhoni to come to their houses", a source close to Dhoni family said. "His new swimming pool will hardly be of 15'x20' size and 4' deep which can not store much water, The neighbours wanted cheap publicity and therefore they objected". "We have spoken to the people and the plan for swimming pool is aprooved. Dhoni can go ahead with it", both ministers further added.

None of Dhoni's family members had arrived to receive him at the airport today but thousands of fans gathered at the Wankhede Stadium. "His brother (Narendra) is busy with the constructional activities back home and his old parents were not fit enough to travel to Mumbai all the way from Ranchi", a family-friend Shashikant Pathak said to this scribe.

Dhoni's new house will have four floors with ample parking and a gym. The upper three floors will be occupied by his family members and the fourth floor will be reserved for Mahi", the family-friend added.
