A battle won off-field..


“When the going gets tough the tough get going” the phrase stands apt if the man in question is none other than Yuvraj Singh…Famous for his on-field heroics, Yuvraj once again won a million hearts, this  time not for any match winning knock  but for an extraordinary performance on the other side of the fence … Yuvraj has always been a match winner and has boldly countered all the rough patches in his cricketing career so far, but the fact that he won the battle with a disease as deadly as cancer and got a new lease of life shows his immense grit and will power…
The three month long struggle fighting every second, struggling for survival was definitely not a cake walk, but our hero stood firm and emerged as a match winner, all over again…Staying positive had been his theme all through the treatment which comprised of several rounds of chemotherapy…He had his share of frustration as he had to stay away from what he would call his ‘life’  the cricket field…Talking to the press after coming back to India he acknowledged the effort his  family and friends especially his mother had put ,in bringing him back to where he stands today…
All’s well that ends well and even after “being through hell” courtesy this fatal disease, the lion is back to roar…He may take a while to get back in action but by defying the odds and coming out victorious Yuvraj has sent a message across to those millions people that nothing is impossible only if you have the courage and a strong determination to fight against  the hurdles in your life…And yeah!!!  All of us are eagerly waiting to see him don the batting gloves all over again…

Remembering the Good, in the Goodbyes.

Home is my happy place.   Gone are the days of longing for a vacation away from Home. Now, coming back home is a vacation in itself. The otherwise constant cribbing about so much to do and so little time meets with a momentarily halt and benediction comes in the form where there is “nothing to do and all day to do it”. Almost 10 days into, what I would call the longest vacation of my college life (EIGHTY MIGHTY DAYS), I wish to reconcile with my productivity. Marking my beginning with a blog post. It took a while to come out of the trauma that the Eight Semester had in store.The occurrence of events prior to the foregone conclusion were nothing short of exhilarating but their culmination was predictably devastating.  Sometimes, home isn’t a just a place surrounded with walls, it is a feeling that comes with people around you. Finding home in a hopeless place (Read College) was certainly baffling but the obscurity faded as familiarity with the faces f...

The Cup That Counts...

2 nd April …Rings a bell??? Well quite yes, coz a year ago this day witnessed history being created…As Dhoni cleared the fence for a four and Yuvraj had an immense outburst putting his closely guarded emotional side on display, As the Indian cricket team members walked around the Wankhede stadium carrying Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders amidst loud cheers from fans and celebrities ,the camera focusing time and again on a teary-eyed Tendulkar...This was no ordinary celebration on an extra ordinary day ; WE HAD WON THE   CRICKET WORLD CUP …And with  the very thought of that special moment these scenes flash across our minds, triggering those emotions which went out of control on that special day ... This was a moment for Indians to cherish whole through their life, a moment which ushered a wave of patriotism and a moment which once again made us all proud of the fact that we are Indian. Millions of Indians ,even those who were not really keen followers of the game h...

Kangna- Hritik Controversy: A misguided case of Man v Women!

There has been a constant media trial surrounding the controversy which stemmed from Kangana's recent interviews in a couple of talk shows. The one with Rajat Sharma at Aapki Adalat generated widespread buzz, so much that there were dozens of memes doing the rounds even weeks after the interview ended. Some branded it as a publicity stunt for her film Simran while others lauded the effort of an Industry outsider taking on the big wigs of the Bollywood business ( Shortly after the nepotism debate after the Koffee with Karan episode). There was another interview that followed with Barkha dutt which was basically an English translation of everything that was already discussed on Aap Ki Adalat. So, people who haven't watched it yet aren't really missing on anything new to the story. Having taken those interviews with a pinch of salt and considering them a regular dosage of ordinary bollywood masala, I never chose to take sides. However, I would not deny the fact that K...
