Dhoni!! pull your socks up man!!!

"Mr. Dhoni..., M.S. Dhoni, sir...can i just have a talk with you for a second? Mr. Dhoni, please...would you just oblige to share a few thoughts? Mr.Dhoni.....(a 5 second gap)...maybe you might just want to cut the crap captain!!"

Dhoni swivels his head right toward me, impressed by my maverick extempore response to his hushed silence towards the thronging paparazzi. "You only, yeah only you please...get into the dressing room, let's have a couple of minutes.."

I was more than impressed to be a 'part' of the Indian cricket team, but I was moreover concerned about my nitro-starch (grade 1 explosive) questions to the '#1 captain in Indian history'..!!!

Rick Castle: M.S Dhoni, your comments on the depleting performance of the Indian team..It seems so cynical at present.. what's your explanation to this slide downwards?

Sakshis's husband: There is nothing to be panicked about right now. The top order has failed to deliver, the spinners aren't getting their rythm, the fielders aren't in their groove....even the pitch isn't turning as I expected...

Rick Castle: Pardon me..(I silently scoff inhumanly).. What's wrong with you sir? You haven't fired with your willow nor with your mind games which were earlier much deserving of plaudits...

Dhoni intervenes suddenly...

Sakshi's husband: We all have lean patches in our lives, we just need to overcome them...But, the curator should have been different this time around..!!

Rick Castle: Give us a break man! How many of our own would you want to blame for your own debacle. I beg your sincere pardon Mr. Dhoni, but I really do think you guys have a heck of a day tomorrow... What's your plan of action?

Sakshi's husband: Well, let's see how things turn around..hope Ashwin makes a huge turnaround tomorrow...

Rick Castle: Wow!! Positive pessimism, ironical metaphors and hypothetical realities seem to please you a lot sir.. I recommend you better make a move to level the series in the next match...Thanks a lot Mr.Dhoni...Thanks for your time.."

Virat Kohli looked dejected as I stormed dissatisfied and mournful out of the otherwise over-joyous dressing room...

It was indeed a day to discard off our memories off of this day...

Hope we see a steering turnaround...

Go India Go!!!

We, the youth of India, having solemnly resolved...

Danger, danger! In great danger are we the youth of this country. When the hope of basking in the glory of freedom that we all dreamt of, the peace that we all thought of achieving and the unity that we all strived to achieve, all of it seems to have gone thither. Yes, we want freedom, we want a corruption free state, a crime free metropolis, a epidemic free country, a terror free nation and other high end needs to be met. No, why me alone, why can’t him, why can’t she, it’s their job, the politicians are corrupt not us, the government’s got to do something, the police aren’t working, I hate that party, that man gets on my nerves and many other higher end excuses we all give to change our ‘Yes’ to a “Big NO”.

The reason why India lost the 2003 world cup final against Australia was not because Australia played good enough, but India giving opportunities to tease their own problems which in the due course of time proved too fatal in result and in embarrassment. In the same way, we the youth haven’t been taking our predicaments seriously, instead we are toying with them as though they were a star-gazing spectacle. NO! We should at once stop being a hermit to meekness and a recluse to self-controlled sufficiency. We lack leaders to lead the pack because we don’t have the youth taking that extra furlong in bringing about change. Yes, we have a great media, and that’s why we talk more and act less. We like spice, but we don’t want the change.

If alone we all changed our attitudes and looked at that beggar near the temple streets and felt compassion, gazed at the corrupt official and took a moral stand of shunning bribery, cleaned the surroundings as though it were our own home, saved resources as if our dear lives depended on it and many more integral, moral values that we are all aware of and put them into practice, we would then be nominated towards being a developed nation. We grunt about the falling GDP, mock the FM for his lack of financial inadequacy but in the end we, the citizens ourselves never gave a cock’s eye about the financial status of India.

There’s only one solution. ACT

A – Act Immediately

C – Change what’s not right

T – Think over the consequences before acting

We need supportive leaders, youth leaders, leading from the front taking up the fight and deracinating the opposition. Enough of the comfy cushion behavior, let’s just join hands, be leaders – in campuses, in homes, in localities, in districts, states and the nations. Let’s ACT to making our “NO’s” into a big ‘YES’.

Jai Hind!!!

H.B.K [Heart Break Kid]

It's so weird when you hurt someone not actually discerning how you could have. For one serene moment everything's going just fine, smooth and dreamy and suddenly all of it fragments to a tumultuous situation wherein the person whom you loved so dearly just forgets and discards you as unimportant. 

Years of trust, believing against odds that an unbreakable bond of friendship would prosper, mutual interests pouring in and above all, standing for each other in times of distress; all of it just gone obsolete in days of obscurity. Now to even consider that "still best friend" as an arch enemy is next to installing an atom bomb in a chamber containing the auricles and ventricles. 

But I guess it's time that heals many relationships. Maybe we just don't give ourselves the time to think straight about the implications, expectations and resolutions that arise through these links that we develop in meets that were never planned before, in unexpected rendezvous, or even in seconds to spare on the first meet. Ultimately, if we do genuinely feel the pain of missing someone so bad, it really is worth for us to wait upon. But 'wait' in itself being a verb, reasonable effort to mend the relationship is in our hands for sure which surely in due course of time stitches the cross boundary discrepancy.
