Hope 

Hope -that’s what  What most of the Indians are surviving on ,hoping that every day is good ,every second day is better and there are many more good days that they can look forward to.

I too was hopeful recently during my vacation when at mumbai International Airport security check I forgot my ID and only realised this when the flight took off ,for the next 3 weeks on my holiday,I was stressed ,tensed and hoping that I might not have too go through that process of applying for duplicate Id the headache everybody goes through if they loose any document had hope that the ID card would be in a safe place .

Three weeks later and as soon as I arrived I went to the information desk to find out , I found out the process and next day spoke to the concerned person and to my surprise ,they actually had my ID card I was impressed with our systems and

Felt lucky and was reassured there are some things that only happen In India .And the country has hope to become better .

Road less travelled ?


Travelling ,There are a lot of people who haven’t even started traveling the globe and then there are a few who’s work doesn’t keep them apart from travelling the globe but have you wondered what’s these groups have in common ,” food “well the most of them its to make a choice from the options given on the menu ,with being on the “safe ” side the one which you would pick at home too ,but to travel the globe is also an experiment with the local cuisines ,which we traveller are skeptical about or are mostly clueless about ,since we depend on the travel agencies or are willing to do little research about the place .And with so much of information on the net the traveller haven’t really become active but lazier to plan more than what they can do .

The World Cup performance 

Indians are crushed by the Australian in Australia once again ,some things in history don’t change .

Like today we couldn’t chase  300+ against Australia even after playing in their country for the last 4 months  ,chasing is surely are biggest weakness ,losing a toss is another thing that goes wrong with us .

The  team hasn’t improved at all ,about 12 years ago ,2003 World Cup final we just scored 234 and today too 233 on both occasions we were playing against the same team and had a good start but could not make use of it ,they were  too dependable on the top 3  batsmen and if they don’t performe  ,the middle order tends to collapse under pressure and added to this if the captain doesn’t perform it’s total disaster.

The fighting spirit is just not there 330 was not difficult ,they made it look difficult and the battle was lost with 4 down for 100 and not taking off when needed ,also Mostly everybody expected India to make it in the semifinals with the way there were placed and there were no surprises with other team too being part of the later knockout stages and the semi too were expected to be played amongst these ,only the hype of India playing against  pak kept the fans on their toes to watch the QF between the host and the visitor .

But the semi final was the real test ,the real World Cup and the real battleground which mattered ,but couldn’t be won .

Ok I agree we could not win 8/8 matches this World Cup ,today must not have been our day ,but what do you have to say about the loss by 95 runs and with 3 overs to spare and no where close to the target .

And what do you have to say about the missed opportunity that changed the game ?

Do you believe you were over confident this time ?for this real test .

If we were champions ,why dint we show it .has the Midas touch from our captain disappeared ?

Mary Kom

Mary Kom,about a year ago I had attended the Toi lit fest and there ,Mary Kom’s unbreakable was launched with highlights of her life from her autobiography was shared in an interview and that time itself ,I felt it’s such a huge achievement for somebody to believe in herself and silencing the critics when they spoke against her .
Also for a mother of 3 to continue boxing isn’t really that easy ,it was that day which made a proud indian .
And today after 9 months when the movie was released and I saw it ,it had the same impact of that day when she was sharing her story while being interviewed .
It’s the story of her journey that really make us believe that even indian woman’s are strong .
