Opportunities in Life

I don’t remember the last time, I let go an opportunity which would either mean additional responsibilities or doing something I never did before and that it would help me move forward…

These opportunities have been an important part of my life as I kept gaining knowledge on a lot of issues, with a mind like mine I came pretty close to understand how things work and what acts as a barrier to implement a simple solution.

Though I do admit that even after capitalizing on my opportunities, I hardly found myself moving the direction that I wanted to, but I do believe that every thing has a timing and things don't happen before that. So I am waiting and preparing myself for my time to come.

Just a few weeks back, I found myself in a situation which looked liked a big task ahead but I think it was the right opportunity for me to learn something that I should have long back. Had no choice to say “No” as everything depended on me, so went ahead with worry reflecting on my forehead :))

As the work progressed, I got the hang of it and finally when the major work was carried out, I was there praying to God that everything goes fine and it did. I was on a high that night.

It felt just GREAT!!!

Parents: The Guilty Ones

I often put myself into their shoes and think whether I will do the same what they are doing. When it’s proved that their children were responsible for the crimes they have committed, still they choose to protect them and say their children are innocent and are been framed.

It’s hard to imagine on how they would have reacted if there kids were not the accused but the victims of such tragedies.

To come, think of it, are the parents doing the right thing in protecting their child when they are guilty and what kind of a message are they sending across?

It is such an irony that when a child growing up make mistakes, the parents reprimand them but when they commit bigger mistakes, they are shielded by the same parents who make sure that their child escape the punishment.

It makes me wonder on what goes through their minds when they are aware of their children’s misdeeds and still let them go scot-free. What compels them to take such a decision when they have all the evidence in front of them?

Guess, the parents too needs to be educated on how helping there children go scot-free of the crimes they committed make them the part of the crime too!!

Rahul's Resilience

I really admired the way he hit back at his detractors not with words but with his bat, who thought he is not good enough for the shorter version of the game.

The way Rahul's have been playing in the ongoing IPL league must have silenced his critics who keep writing him off as a "Test" player.

I was annoyed with Vijay Mallya for removing Dravid from the captaincy because his team fail to performed and was dubbed as a “Test Team” in the IPL I. I think Mallya should stick to only doing business and understand that sport is different from running a company.

One cannot expect to win even if it has the best players in the side. There are a lot of other factors that go into winning a match. No wonder Vijay Mallya is doing so poorly in his sporting adventure, his formula one team is yet to make a serious dent, his cricket team has again resided to be on the losing side (though I would like to see Dravid score no matter his team wins or losses).

Rahul Dravid truly is a class player who can play in all forms of the game. His statistics speaks for the same still he is been stereotyped as a test player. I liked the way he said during his MOM (Man of the Match) speeches that players like “me” are given a fair chance to perform in these conditions.

I thought that was an indirect hit on his critics who keep cribbing about his performance in the ODI and 20:20 matches.

I am happy to see Dravid perform and hope that he continues to do so…
