Cricket goes the Hockey way!!

The world cup's over for India and Pakistan, Two biggest cricketing nations but not before raising many doubts in minds of the fans and followers.
Just assume that Match fixing allegations are proved, I wonder how it would affect not this but the future generations.

My Take:

It will be a Sunday morning and kids would wake up in a mood of excitement.Cricket would still be a craze as parents would let them watch it happily.
As cricket would take over WWE (world wrestling entertainment) in TRP ratings it would only be followed by school kids and jobless youth. Hoping that government will legalize betting by then we would see people getting rich overnight. Cricket stadiums would have stricter rules like their race courses. Cricketers would still be minting money by giving useful tips to the rich and the famous. I'm not sure if will have something called "the Indian cricket team". On a serious note this country effortlessly forgotIndia's achievements in hockey and never looked back at hockey legends like Dhyan chand. Today hockey is just limited to a certain part of the country.We have build this nation into a cricketing giant with years of hard work and contribution. Let's live to save its sanctity. Irrespective of the sport we must help it scale to the next level!!

I believe in Angels

For one year I felt that Mathematics is something surely I’m not made for but it took just 4 days for my teacher to bring me out this notion.
This is a tribute, a note of thanks (the least I could do) to Mrs. Khare; the lady solely responsible for changing my life and showing me the brighter side of life.
It was those days which I would always live regret and continued to do if not Khare madam. I’m sure there might be a lot of guys like me who have been blessed by
Her and have helped in adding a new meaning to life.Some Sixty odd, grey haired and an extraordinary radiant skin, with decades of teaching experience she comes across as a very strong person, armed with the ability to charm even the pied piper. She spoon fed me for 5 days with little doses of arithmetic to help me pass one of the biggest hurdles of life. I don’t’ know many teacher who would teach you all day long ( we had to stay at her place) for almost nothing in return.
After 5 years I had been to her place.Usually I don’t even remember scheduled calls for than an hour but going back that old lane was no big task. I had never gone back to her since the day I gave my exam coz somewhere I felt like an idiot for bunking her classes. As I walked into her house I found Khare madam staring at me with her beady eyes.
I know I felt amazing to see her again but somewhere I could see the satisfaction in her eyes was far greater than my happiness.
I’m sure this article would be read by just a few but whoever does please pass on the message to others that changing lives of others is the only way one can connect to god. No one’s stupid or weak. This world is a habitat of equals. There’s no religion. Knowledge is your amour and in whatever way you can, help others coz God helps those who help him in helping others.

Thanks Khare Ma’am.
Indian Army TV Commercial

I have lived all life long as a Pro Indian Army and it will remain the same till my last breath.I came across this video about the career and lifestyle in the indian Army. it's a TV commercial to attract talented youth to join the Armed forces.Most of it has been shot at NDA campus in Khadakwasla.I feel this is a good move to showcase to the world the culture in the indian Army.Though it goes to a great extent in serving its purpose it could have been made better by adding some scenes and incidents of bravery.We have a lot of martyrs who have inspired a lot of budding officers to join the forces.Our Army does not only provide it's men with a great life but also the challenges and opportunities to stand above the rest.

Sports and this life

One thing i enjoy the most is playing. When I’m on the field.. Running…getting tired and the sweat flowing down my temple.This feeling is better that any tequila or beer. The kick out of it lasts more than any amount of grass (I don’t smoke, based on assumptions).
I have always been into sports, something that has come very natural to me. I feel it’s a gift discovered by human race which should be used by everyone. In an Age where we hardly get any time to do anything apart from work we must spend some time playing the sport we like.
It helps me gain confidence and freshen up my mind. Participation In sports from a early age does not only help you develop leadership skills but also the ability to play in a team, a factor that will helpful on the professional front. Another important factor that sports help you develop is aggression and to take up challenges something I feel dictates ones individuality.
I have lost more matches than I have won in my stint at all levels in various levels but it has surely made me a better person and a very strong person. My advice no matter how old you are or how busy you, do take out time to play some sport.. stop living in virtual world, the real world is far better.
I’m game..are you??

Russell peters in Bangalore


Okk..i’m back after a short break from the systems of my life. Spent some time lazin around and introspecting.Also had been to see, laugh and see getting people insulted by the “funniest man in the world”-Russell Peters.
I will not write the details of his show but take the opportunity to write about what I learnt from this show.
My biggest learning was humour is nothing but making people laugh at themselves. and the easiest way to sell a showIs to target a specific person and let everyone have fun at his cost. Russell peters is a very smart businessman who does nothing butCross sell these jokes while traveling all over the globe. Undoubtedly he’s very spontaneous and doesn’t spare the smallest opportunityTo take someone’s trip.I also admire his observational skills as his jokes have a strong local flavor and a deep meaning to ponder on for a very long time.
For all those who have missed out, there’s a always a next time.
Till then, like Russell says “ Be Cheap and Download”
