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.

Anubhav Dubey | Chai Sutta Bar

Started with a minimal capital of 3 lakhs, Chai Sutta Bar  (CSB as we say) has a turnover of more than 100 crores. It has 400 franchise outlets spread across India and abroad including Dubai, Muscat and Nepal. Welcome to ShekharArena! Today we will let you know about Chai Sutta Bar and elements of business that have helped them achieve this feat. Till today, Chai Sutta Bar is a bootstrapped business. Bootstrapped means they haven't taken any loans or external investments to fund their business. Product Range: Initially they kept adding new products to the inventory and made it to 200 products. This is a common mistake that most early age investors do. Menu design should focus on how we can maximize no of products with less raw materials, less resources and same SOP with little modifications. They learnt it the hard way and now they serve only 21 products. Initial Team: The initial team structure should align with your vision. Not only the team should give 200% efforts plus can prov...

Expiry of Water | Solutions

 According to a Reuters report, we use 40 billion plastic bottles every month,1.3 billion every day,54.9 M every hour and 1 M(10 lakhs) bottles every minute. Assume how fast these plastic-borne diseases can spread among us. Welcome back to Shekhar Arena! In the last blog, we talked about how aggressively we drink water in plastic bottles and their adverse impacts. If you haven't read the blog, link is in comments. We will be discussing about what feasible solutions we do have to tackle this issue. You might be wondering what other option do we have. Almost all water bottles readily available in market are made up of plastic. What can we do? Carry our own water bottle. This may sound a bit inconvenient but it is one of the most effective solutions. Do buy a reusable bottle and carry it everywhere we go. This will not add any further plastic into nature. Carrying these bottles everywhere is not convenient Yes it's not but it is our choice whether we want to face diseases like can...
