Your own words

I've always believed that there is something to learn from any sort of Human Beings irrespective of the sex, age,  class,  socioeconomic status,  intellectual prowess, reasoning ability and mental agility.  No matter how mundane/monotonous their jobs are,  no matter how skillful they are or they may belong to the elitist category or the underprivileged section.  Everybody has some  unique wisdom which he has acquired  through his lifetime.  When we learn we see barriers  which act as hindrance to our developmental capabilities.  In what form does  this barrier take place? * Your unwillingness to learn. * Your hesitation due to fear.  This is prevalent in most of the situations.  * Do not ever think you have attained superiority hence learning from a person younger than you is void. * Never think that there is a saturation point.  * Step out of your comfort zone,  get some scars,  get dirty a...

Two South Asian countries, same culture , religions, ethnicity and language with a distinct demarcation of international border which separates India & Pakistan (apart from PoK & Aksai Chin). Yet there is a wide range of gap in thoughts, ideas , mutual understanding and peace making process. The recent dialogues, between India & Pakistan , held in the sidelines of UFA(Russia) Convention , has no new result. Rather it has turned out to be one of the worst fiasco by deliberate blaming of each other’s actions. Prior to this convention when India & Pakistan met in the sidelines of SCO (Shangai Co-operation Organisation) , same was the intended result.   The first and foremost thing was as always have been  prevention of terrorism  by subduing any strand of the situation. This is the most hotly discussed topic which has been failing since ever. The menace of  cross border terrorism not just destabilizes both country’s efficacy but thwarts them in peace...

History is geographically distributed while Geography is historically influenced. The Asian continent was largely in a colonial period for two centuries which left its geo-economic interests dwindling with the interference of geo-political influence of Europeans nations. This impact had a devastating impact on Asian nations on the basis of socio-economic status. In the 20 th century, the Asian nations started recovering slowly. After the post colonialization period certain demarcations were formed rechristening a few countries albeit sharing the same cultural, linguistic and ethnic identities. The South East Asian nations are on a trajectory path leading to a healthy GDP nations which are rapidly on rise. The true potential in the South Asian nation still remains untapped. The One belt, One road corridor proposed by China which is known as ‘Maritime Silk Road’ is a better prospect in improving the trade and prosperity among the Africa-Asia-Europe nations. This is a a very ambitiou...

29th March, 2015: Presentation Ceremony: Mark: Bazz, you said, again and again, this is the greatest time of your lives? Bazz: It has been one hell of a ride. Staying unbeaten throughout the tournament. But, eventually, failing to cross the final hurdle. Making us the second best Cricket Team in the World. The question here asked by Mark was not framed by him. It was what Bazz said after winning and re-winning crunch games. This quote is now remarkable, even if The Kiwis fail to win the one last stop.  Let's get it rewind. Rendezvous 1: Its a fine cold morning in Christchurch. People have come with their woollen jackets. Some are in their thick black blankets. Some have beer glasses. Kids in Black Caps Jersey. Crowd are still flocking in. The National Anthem is over. There has been a slight drizzle of water. One fiery, curl haired, Sinhalese guy licks his hand, adds a bit saliva to the ball. Trying to shine it. Ready for the run up. Locks his sight on the batsman. Takes a s...

"Flash of a genius", rightfully conversed in a very subtle way in this particular movie. Before going into the review, let's have a moment of geniusness which could've occurred to any of us alive or dead on the earth. The moment, if we've tried it, could have been a triumph or a loss. Though trying matters. A movie made in 2008 from the 1960s directed by Marc Abraham contextualizes about an inventor, professor & a father of six named Robert Kearnes (Greg Kinnear) who participates in the battle of David vs Goliath. David, of course being him. Goliath here is the Ford Motors Corporation. Robert's wife Phyllis (Lauren Graham) is the mother of six children. What takes an invention? Possibly a flash of thought? Or apple falling down from a tree? Here it is the cork of a champagne hitting Robert's eye making him one eye blind. That's it. If eyes can blink why not  windshield wipers? Robert, primarily being a professor is obsessed with invention right s...

Citylights, as the name suggests about lights in a metropolitan city (Mumbai in this case), portrays hope in darkness. It is a remake of the British-Filipino movie which had won many laurels earlier. This isn't a total replica of that original version. Mr. Hansal Mehta has done a pretty fine job in re-creating the whole movie in Indian contextual scenario. Who could have done this job better? Ofcourse it is Rajkumar Rao having won national award for Shahid. You cannot undermine the role of Patralekha too. The movie starts off with a poverty stricken family comprising of Deepak, Rakhi & their daughter, reeling under pressure to get a permanent source of income to overcome their basic requirements like providing a schooling for their daughter with other amenities. Torn between debt, Deepak decides to move to Mumbai where he could possibly end the grief clung to their family. Deepak with his family moves out from the countryside to the metropolitan city in search of a job. Mumb...

Dear Bazz,                    I am a true Indian team fan as I'm a native of India but i'm no less Kiwi fan. Well, the world cup is in the midway. Your guys have performed sensibly good in all departments. You are one of the hosts, so the critics say you do stand a chance to win this world cup along with Australia & the mighty South Africa. Australia might have won 4 times but your team, as a whole unit, is no less mightier. Let's start with you. I've watched you since the first day of IPL when you wrecked havoc. Until then i'd never seen somebody dancing down the track & hitting six to fast bowlers in a fearless manner. Not once or twice but several times. I was completely awestruck with your timing whenever you swing your bat like a samurai does with his sword. Perharps, you and AB de Villiers are the most outstanding batsmen playing in an unorthodox way. I really did not care to see yo...

Let's make some space on the table. A pen & a few papers. Mind, now uncluttered. Ready to jot down the best XI cricket players, playing 2015 World Cup. Not in an anachronistic order but in a  chronological order. Its always has been an herculean task for picking up the best around the world. I may possibly get stuck somewhere & for that i might end up adding four more players, making it 15. Pen in between my thumb & index finger. Sleeves rolled up. A clean sheet. 1) Hashim Amla- Have you lately noticed a beard guy of South African team, breaking fastest 2000, 3000,4000, 5000 runs in a short span of 108 matches? He is the epitome of consistency, breaking Ab's, Virat's & Sir Viv Richard's record. He is a run machine. He is my No.1 spot. He is irreplaceable. Matches-108 Runs-5370 Avge- 55.93 Nick name: The Great African Wall. 2) Brendon McCullum- The New Zealander of the year,The Captain of the black caps,the man with tremendous fast hands & the o...

The story is about a young chap who is an ardent football fan, buff, freak or an enthusiast. The name's Santiago Munez. Yes, spanish. Not Spanish Spanish. He is Mexican Spanish. He had been through poverty since his childhood. His father had some tough times. Escaping their family from Mexico to LA. As you know in the drug entrenched zones, either somebody from the cartel shoots you off or end up in jail. Sant's mom walked out on their family which his father had to face the status quo. Santiago's father never thought his children to live beyond their small truck business. But little did he know his elder son whose back of mind was brewing strong urge to play football at the highest level. The passion was right intact since his childhood days. The extremely talented footballer Santiago meets Glenfoy who watches him play at a local suburb's playground. Glenfoy assures him to move to England where he could possibly have tests for the Club New Castle. Despite Santiago...

The movie begins with a court trial in New York court house indicting a kid who was considered to be brutally murder his own father. The Judge,seemed tired, had decided upon the jury to take the decision whether guilty or for acquittal. The Jury comprised of 12 jurors. Everybody in their mind had already decided the boy was guilty & should be hanged till death. Leaving the verdict to be decided by the jury the judge retires. The jury decidedly moved to a private room for the decision regarding the boy's fate. It was a hot, humid day. Almost everybody was soaked up in sweat. Before they sat down few had refreshments. Later rain brought relief to the jurors who were disgusted in over spending of time on a topic which had nothing to argue on. Note: There were no names used of anybody till the end. First round of voting started with 11-1 guilty to not-guilty. The eleven jurors were taken aback. Few were raged, taken aback  & equally awestruck as the one who voted not guilty...

2nd April, 2011. Enthralled with emotions & overwhelmed with jitters. One might have skipped a heart beat or two.  Can any patriotic Indian forget this night? Those who've witnessed the cricket match between India & Sri Lanka held at Wankhede stadium(Mumbai), would long cherish the memories forever. But time moves on. Now here we are,after four years,on the brink of another world cup to begin. A month is left for one of the great tournaments in cricketing game to begin. Indian team is busy playing Australia in the Border- Gavaskar trophy with 2-0 down & a new skipper in records. Hats off to the great MSD for his contributions to the Indian Test Cricket Team apart from the dismal performance in the overseas. The statistics explicitly suggests his average took a plunge in recent years. Despite this he will be hailed as a hero for for taking the team to great heights, rank one in test rankings. The BCCI selectors have had a herculean task to select 15 players out of 3...
