My Friend's Tale!

The other day, when I found a lady grinning widely at me in the Mall, the friendly person that I am, I graciously flashed my million-dollar-smile in return!

The lady hugged me and said, “Oh Sweety! How you have changed, my friend!”

“Sweety, You were short & plump & had straight hair when we were in School, but now you are tall & thin & have curly hair…!”

Understanding that this certainly was a case of mistaken identity, I clarified patiently, “Listen, My name is not Sweety… it is Anita!”

It was the lady’s turn to be shocked as she opened her eyes wide with disbelief and exclaimed, “Sweety! You have changed your name also!!!”

Note: This story is based on a friend's real-life tale!

Three Things That Inspire Me About Sachin

Sachin Tendulkar is a hero, an icon,

An inspiration not only for my generation, 

but an inspiration for the future too.

Sachin is so very honest & true.

Rightly called a "Genius" & a "Master Blaster"

He is India's "Bharat Ratna"- the Jewel, the Star!

Here are three things that inspire me about Sachin:

I. Honesty & Integrity

Sachin's character speaks of honesty & integrity.

Sachin's behaviour both on-field and off-field speak of his ethics and values & squeaky clean image.

Surely, he is a role-model & truly upholds the "Gentleman's Game."

II. Humility & Gratitude

Sachin is the epitome of humility & never fails to express his gratitude to his parents, family, brother & teacher. He is  forever humble and grateful and so down-to-earth.

III. Self-belief & Confidence

Sachin is true to himself and stands for himself. He takes up only those assignments and lends his name only to what that is true to his personality. Even when the world doubted his prowess and when we was going through a lean patch, he never gave up. Rather, he continued giving his best and proved all his detractors wrong.

The statistics speak for themselves...

Sachin Tendulkar has made history!

Winning Means The World To Me!

Winning is optimally balancing life’s equation.
Winning is a huge personal triumph & celebration.

Winning is responsibility & power- like a magic-wand.
Winning is achievement that makes life great & grand!



Winning is getting our PRAYERS answered soon,
Winning is finding what we seek like a boon.

Winning is staying afloat when things are bust.
Winning is pride, earning a place BEING FIRST.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Winning is being faster than everyone else in a race,
Winning is catching up with dreams when we chase…

Winning is getting ahead of ourselves as we compete-
Winning over ourselves than others is a bigger treat!

Condition Serious!

#ConditionSeriousHai – In this Post, I’ve listed one dozen-
Not a comprehensive list as there are & will be lots of addition!

Read this only if you have a sense of humour,
If you haven’t any & still wanna read, first have a Cadbury 5 Star!

I. Serious People ki #ConditionSeriousHai

People who carry office-work home or even for a holiday!
People who stare at their gadget-screens all night & day!

People who say they have fared poorly in the test,
Just because 1 mark is wrong, they lose their zest!

Source

People who teach with seriousness utmost!
Parents, your kids have to pay a heavy cost!

II. Unreasonable People ki #ConditionSeriousHai

People who scream without verifying,
Not even checking facts before crying!

Putting the blame on the innocent is no fun!
For something others have not done!

“I didn’t do it… Raju!!!”

Chatur (Silencer) puts the serious blame on Raju in the movie- 3 Idiots, though he is the one responsible for it!

People who look without seeing,
People who see without looking!

People who are BLIND WITH EYES,
People who don’t listen to nice & wise advice!

III. People who think they can get away with anything ki #ConditionSeriousHai

People who act like Ostrich & bury their head,
People who put skeletons in the cupboard,

People who shove things under the carpet,
People who are always ready to place a bet!

IV. People who make mountains out of mole-hills ki #ConditionSeriousHai

People who claim oh-so dramatically-
“Main kisiko mooh dikaane ke kabil nahi rahi” (I am not fit to show my face to anyone.)

Oh! No, no! “Mooh-Kala” is not the issue here! (Mooh-Kala – Face-Black i.e. Loss of Dignity)
A single pimple/strand of white hair sparks off fear!

People who think it’s the end of the world & a pity!
When all they have lost is a few seconds of Internet Connectivity!

“You are gay & not straight” say people, who are muddled!
Just because with the same-sex persons you cuddled!

Kantaben in the movie- Kal Ho Na Ho!
