A letter to Jersey No. 7 | The Captain Cool!

Dear Maahi,

A very Happy Birthday! Hope you are doing fine.
'Dhoni finishes off in style, a magnificent strike into the crowd. India lifts the World Cup after 28 years. The party starts in the dressing room and it's an indian captain who's been absolutely magnificent in the night of the final'. I can feel this entire comment, it's  not a comment any more. This is a letter from a not so typical cricket lover to a living legend.

I want to let you know three of the many things I have learnt from you.
1. There is always more time than you think. I personally believe statistics tell it all. You have been not out 50 times in ODI, out of these 50 ocassions-India won 47 matches. You have always lived this lesson.

2. Don't think of what'll happen in next 20/30 years. Plan about what are we going to do tomorrow or, a day after.You have always exhibited the subtle art of doing more and expecting less. I believe this  is a solution to multiple issues of our generation.

3. You represent sacraments of what we call the real India. I was listening to a story by Akash Chopra where he shared a room with you. When he asked you about what you will eat in dinner and when you sleep, you replied-
Whatever you will order, I will eat.
Whenever you will switch off the lights, I will sleep.

 This is what you will be known for generations ahead. I can count down here- A captain who won all the trophies for India, the best average in successful ODI chases, most number of stumpings in the world, the best finisher and a lot more but this genuine and simple gesture of yours sets you apart from others. You are a legend for a reason.

Want to let you know a thousand things more but the most important of them all is "We want the king back on the field. We don't care if you are playing in an IPL match in the yellow jersey or, heading the Indian team in blue we just want to experience your legacy, your expertise, the patience and Our Indian Captain!".

Thank you for everything, legend!

Yours Fan,
Every other Indian Kid who started watching cricket because of MS Dhoni.

    MSD will be known for long time for many upcoming years.
    MSD is like a book that everyone wants to read and wants to bear all the good things from it wheather it can be his goodness, gesture, teamwork,leadership or the winner quality.

    I am big fan of Dhoni♥️ , will always bleed 7๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ.

Adheen-The Dependent | Not a Movie Review

"Ice, that is brittle can be shattered, while water flows and adapts" . This means 'เคŸूเคŸเคคा เค•เค ोเคฐ เคนै ,เค•ोเคฎเคฒ เคจเคนीं'. Have you ever thought why most of our parents want us to guide throughout our childhood and teenage till the time we stand on our feet? Think about this and let  me know in comments. Vacations and Parents I think dependency is a relative term, you may be dependent on someone in one context, independent in other. To all the people living away from their homes, please respond on these two questions? 1. When was the last time you visited your home? Here, home means the place where your parents live. 2. If you visited in last 6 months, did you sit still with them and talked about how life is going, what problems are they facing, are there any health issues or anything else without peeping in your phone? You think they are fine, but wait they are not. Adheen, a short film directed by Yash Verma talks about these intricacies. Rajendra(Sanjay Mishra) fre...

Solitude and Loneliness

Don't you think the root cause of most of our problems is the underlying loneliness that most of us experience in our daily lives today. Let's analyse what is the reason behind and derive some practical solution to this. Basically there are two situations i.e, loneliness and Solitude. In loneliness, you are alone and worried about having no one by your side while solitude is experiencing a whole new world when you are alone. You experience happiness when you are alone. You don't need a second person to be happy. The root cause of our emptiness is that our foundation for living is based on lies. We are stuck in the loop of lie spread by ourselves only and continue exhibiting dual personality. Actually we try to complete our emptiness through other things, actions and relationships (people)- don't we? As a consequence, we become more dependable on those things, actions or people. This dependency could be at physical, psychological, financial or even at mental level....

Bihar and the Education System | Bihar mein bahar h

He was completely demoralized, analysing where did he go wrong. Was his preparation not apt enough to crack the interview? Didn't he had the technical knowledge, the profile required- all this was whirling in his head, while he sat in disguise with a cup of tea. Welcome back to Shekhar Arena!  Hope you are doing fine. Today, I will tell you a story- a story of our friends, students and the teachers! There is this friend of mine who was attending an Off-Campus placement drive of a reputed MNC. He did his graduation in computer applications from a renowned institute of Bihar. 6 out of 49 students cleared the aptitude test. There he met another guy about whom he said later that guy was technically sound than him. This guy did his graduation from same renowned institute, located in another city of our state. The technical round was a WhatsApp video interview and the interviewer asked scenario based questions. He was dumbstruck, didn't understand the questions well-answers of...
