More than a Win !!



If India vs Pak was more than a match, the win yesterday was more than a win. It was a carnival, a mother of all festivals, a definition of being Indian and above all a show of being united in our Indianess. The streets were full of not only joyous common men but with superstars and celebrities. The normal pessimistic man found it difficult to find the negatives. Everyone was basking in glory and positivity.

"Team Jeet ti Nahi hai, Jeetana Padta hai" is something we take seriously and if anything, we all- the cricket, fans deserve our bit. Lot of respect for the player who actually made it happen but it was 1.21 billion of us who were doing our bit as well.

The win wasn't just a win, it was a dream come true for all of us but for none more than Sachin Tendulkar. The man had waited for this honour the number of years equal to our age. And yesterday the emotions gave way and there were tears in his eyes. Years of emotion, pressure and stress flowing through those couple of eyes in which the Indians have seen there glory so many times. Virat Kohli put it in the best way "He has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years, it's time now that we carry him on our shoulders."

India is a land of diversity, united by cricket. People were dancing with random people on the streets, the cultural divides, the financial divides all lost there importance and everyone was united. The scenes were unseen. Comparable to what would have been at Tahrir square or on that Midnight hour of August in 1947. It's the whole of India that benefits from this win. The positivity is everywhere and I am glad I have grown up enough to let it all go on the streets to celebrate.

This win is for India and everything that India stands for. The unity in diversity. India being the Happiest Nation of the world. It's more than just a win for us Indians. For us it's a tribute to that legend Sachin. It's a thing we longed for 28 years. It's a thing that makes us forget of our personal grief in the name of our nation.
It's Something that unites us with our God SACHIN.


"I couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn't control my tears of joy." ~GOD

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead

India has the largest pool of talented manpower but very few innovations and patented products.

Ancient India was the hub of learning and innovation. India had scholars like Aryabhatta, Charak, Chanakya, and many others. But, with time, that zeal for innovation has faded away due to the constant lack of encouragement from the whole system. Ancient India gave zero to the world, invented chess, developed ayurveda but today not many discoveries take place in India. This lack of innovation is the result of the systemic failure of our society. From school to college to workplace, we are taught and tamed into following the set rules. We are taught to be followers and any attempt to think freely is viewed as dissent. Our society has closed itself to any criticism or corrective evolution. This was quite evident when we saw the introduction of Genetically Modified seeds in India. Every technology has its pros and cons, and we need to encourage the spirit of research and innovation to increase the pros and limit the cons but an outright opposition to anything new will be a hindrance
