Ó Sunshine

"Even in the absence of your Sun, you seem as sublime; you must be as important as someone's lifeline...
Ó Sunshine! You enlighten me when I am lost at finding a storyline, you guide me to the direction when I look for a sign...
Ó Sunshine! In your absence even the simple tasks become labyrinthine—bereft of the guiding star, devoid of guidelines...
Ó Sunshine! I am thankful everyday for the chances you offer, in pursuit of my design—toning up my Voice & strengthening my Spine...
...I've got a Voice now, & I've grown Spine!!!"

Imperfection of a Perfectionist...

"Captured my reflection, having all possible smudges & all the ugly marks on; tried to capture the beauty of imperfection before the fake perfectionist embarks upon!!!"

Oh Darling! This is Cricket!

Oh darling! This is Cricket!

"With every other ball, destiny of the game changes here, & with every good-shot the spirit to stay in the game revives; no game other than cricket can offer such range of twistable tenets of a play, where every dying moment gets a chance to survive...

No other game boasts of the worth of capturing a moment, & in no other game a dropped catch becomes the synonym to losing a match; the constant clamor of Egos get displayed at its best here, & only here every new move of opposition is countered with a plan from the scratch...

In an unprecedented game at 'lords' yesterday, the 'tail enders' have overshadowed the 'king-pair' of India in earning the lauding laurels; the never seen before resolve of 'Shami-Bumrah duo' have rightly chastised this game's long forsaken morals!!!"
BRAVO!

Diamond Jubilee: Happy Partial Independence Day!

"The constitutional ideals of justice, liberty, equality, & fraternity can only be ensured by the notion of 'Good- Governance'; but, high standards of conduct on the part of holders of 'public office' can only be the guarantee of a 'reliable providence'...

Every other day is a good day to start afresh, & every other moment offers a chance for a soul cleaning repentance; the undying spirit to sift rights from wrongs, in the end, becomes the quintessence of Good- Governance!!!

No matter how big or small one is, 'weaving a dream'—fearlessly— must now become every deserving soul's business; Let's all pledge now that the endowment of 'inalienable rights' become real for a dignified life, sensible liberty, & the unbounded pursuit of happiness!

There will be no better time to resort to a long pending penance, than a partly sordid-partly immaculate 'Diamond Jubilee' of India's partial Independence!!!

I wish you all, a happy '75th anniversary' of India's Independence!!!"

The Illusive Gold!

THE ILLUSIVE GOLD

While some compete for their faith, & some compete in 'Olympics' to leave the prejudice behind; the intent to be in the race for an 'Illusive Gold' in India has forever been 'one of a kind'...

What an amazing display of performances! Where some countries have dominated their forte, & some like India had tried hard to barely stay afloat; so many hard and bitter pills have been swallowed there—uncovering the topical 'Sugar Coat'!

The Formidable Curse of Cricket—accidentally invented by the English Men, but by all measures is an Indian 'prodigal son'; although a powerful unifying force, the behemoth has consumed it all turning into a 'Frankenstein's monster' that has grown beyond comparison!!!

Sometimes the obvious reasons for the participation in a competition become so unrealistic to achieve, that the overwhelming achievements in the end become the factor of our disbeliefs...
[PS: Sadly, here in India, the burden of redundant (not always) books always remain at the back of the head, then how could a 'promising fledgling' afford to have its wings fully spread; I feel for those puppets who are made to dance by way of invisible strings & the threads...]

From now on, I believe, slowly but steadily the 'clouds of our disbelief' will have to start thinning; the unprecedented show at the 'biggest stage' will definitely chart the path for many more future winnings!

It's my miniscule effort to set the reminder on a day as ominous as 'Friday The Thirteenth'; I am hereby extending the token of my gratitude towards the Champions, just two days before the auspicious day—August the Fifteenth!!!
[PS: Need to instill the habit of winning in the youth. Youth energy must not get wasted.]

When world is a stage, 'Winning' is not just about the rewards of it or about making it to the news headlines; it's about reaching the extremes of human capacities where mental barriers gets blown away & physical limits get redefined...

A medal can lose its 'bling & clang' but an athlete's sporting immortality gets set in stone; such is the enduring lure of triumph there, that even a participation (qualification) in 'Olympics' gets one the 'super humanly tenor & the tone'!!!

Today, Five days have passed by, since the unprecedented feat attained at the Olympic's conclusion; all thanks to 'Neeraj Chopra', for finally breaking the 'Illusive Gold's' formative illusion!

I can't even fathom the hardness of how difficult it was for him to see through a 'breakthrough', when there were no precedents set to guide; I am really proud of 'Neeraj Chopra' from the depths of my heart for saving & securing our Nation's pride!
[PS: Even though you couldn't reach your personal best of 88.03 m, you have won my heart delivering your best (87.58 m, 1315 points) standing amongst the bests in the world; your 'confident disposition' in the field was remarkable dear Neeraj, so was the exciting sight of those 'soaring javelin' you time & again hurled!!!
PS: Coached by the greatest record holder(Uwe Hohn) in itself is a remarkable feat; so overwhelming & well deserved your victory is, for saving the grace of that rare pupillage you have received, Bravo! ]

New 'show stoppers' have also emerged there, showcasing their respective strengths at using magical Hockeys, speeding shuttles/arrows, & those blazing Guns; yet again it's been shown that 'Sports' is meant for much-much more than just the fun!!!
[PS: First 'Men Hockey' Medal in 41 years—Bronze in Hockey, possesses enormous significance for India, for it might happen to finally break the long frozen Ice; the 'Shimmering Gold' might again be in the making, to soothe the 'Sore Indian Eyes'...Best of Luck! 
PS: Indian 'Women Hockey'—The 'Bravehearts' might have just missed the historical feat, but only at the cost of winning everyone's heart; I am all praise for their marvellous performance at earning that 'watershed moment' that could prove to be the biggest boost for a new start... Best wishes!]

Sports, after all, shouldn't be celebrated only as a spectacle, rather it is the display of the most spectacular character; ask our 'Sachin' that how he proved to be the 'master blaster' despite being devoid of any exclusive 'X-factor!!!'

The 'Champions' from India have timely planted the 'Tricolor', in a far away land of the 'Rising Sun'; unprecedented feat there must become the reason to overcome the hitherto neglect, & the doubts about 'a future in sports' shall now effectively be shunned...
...Doubts about 'a future in sports' shall now effectively be shunned!!!

A FRIEND INDEED

A FRIEND INDEED...

"I could count on him to be there, in my roars and my sighs, in my lows and my highs;
I would get a glimpse of him in all my "Heysss" & "Good-byes"...

He would never be amazed or awestruck, by my silliness/wisdom he would never be surprised; being the witness of me performing the 'Phoenix-play'—my  "Goodness" or badness would just seem to him overpriced!

He might push me to do the loot, and demand equal share of the spoils; he might go lazy as a slug and feast on the returns of my toil...

He might be "naive" as a dumb and at times too "complex" to make me go numb;
he might be as "cheesy" as a gum, yet he would be there when the time demands and no one else would come...

He could be "nosy" with the longest snoot, & as itchy as a bite of my new boots... he might be rude at times and still seem cute, my true friend  would certainly  be the strength of my roots!!!

'A friend in need is a friend indeed',
rather than a drag he would give me the speed;
He would go dumbstruck and listen— when no one else could pay the heed, that "Friend of My Imagination" is all I seek and all I need...
...Is all miss & alI I need...
