In test cricket, a batsman’s most prior motive is to stay at the crease as much as he can, score as many runs as possible during his stay. As we all know that it is not mandatory for a test batsman to score runs in a particular number of overs. So, it becomes very important in test cricket to wait for the playable deliveries from the bowler for scoring runs and defending or leaving the unplayable deliveries. If any batsman goes for the unplayable delivery for scoring, then he has a great chance of being dismissed and troubling his team. Can life be looked upon as test cricket? I always feel that our life is also like test cricket where we are like the batsmen in the game. We face many opportunities, challenges, and problems in our life. The opportunities, challenges, and problems act like balls bowled to us in our lives. In my opinion, we should try to score fours and sixes on opportunities, that is, making most of them, take runs between the wickets on the challenges or you

If you are a spider-man movie fan, then you must have heard this dialogue, “with great power, comes great responsibility”. I just want to add something to this dialogue, “With great responsibility, come greater distractions”. Yes, you heard right, distraction is a thing, which no one would not have faced. Distractions While Exams(especially during board exams) Now, it is the time of board exams, who would be better than the students to ask about the distractions at this time. Most of the students read the textbook with the distraction of reading the text messages on the phone. What is the reason for this distraction? It’s because today’s students are habituated with chatting through phones. Is it really a distraction for the students. I think students don’t take this as a distraction but their parents do. At first, I said, “with great responsibility, come greater distractions”. In this case, parents see the board exams as a responsibility, and the other things studen

There was a match of a tournament going on somewhere. It was an Inter School Cricket tournament. The batsman batting at that time was being easy on the bowlers. He was playing grounded and defensive shots as he was taking his time adjusting himself well for playing big shots later. That time, one of the teachers of some school said to another teacher, “Why is he in the team? He has not even hit a sixer till now from the morning. He is doing nothing but boring everyone.” In reply to this, the other teacher said, “why do you think so? Be positive. He is just taking his time. He is getting ready for a bigger inning. They are young children. Let’s motivate them. Winning is not everything, the improvement and development of the students are more important . So, just keep calm and relax.” Observation of the Scenario In this scenario, we can observe two kinds of people and they are the two mentioned teachers. The first teacher seemed both demotivating and impatient but the oth

What reactions do you get when you have new thoughts in your mind and express it to anyone? According to me, we get the following reactions when we express our new thoughts to anyone: ·           You get laughed off by the person. ·          You get scolded or abused by the person. ·          You get the reaction, “yeah, it’s interesting but……..” ·          You get the reaction, “Great, go for it. It’s worth a try.” Let’s start with “ Why you get laughed off? ” As you know or must have seen that there are different kinds of people. From these different types of people, there is one kind of people, there is one kind of people who almost take everything in a funny way. Like everything, the characteristics of these types of people have a good and bad side. What is the thing which makes a person laugh? Usually, when a person sees anything which is unexpected and the thing goes in a happy (funny) way and the other person doing the thing has a weird expression on his/her f

You might have gone to many celebratory events, there, you might have observed lots of colorful lights and other beautiful decorative stuff. The beautiful, colorful and other shining stuff always attract our eyes and these stuff make the events or parties amazing. In this great world of ours, we get easily attracted towards anything which looks beautiful to us, but that’s not the case always when there is not much beauty in something. A person in his/her good times, attracts many people towards himself/herself but in the bad times, he/she is not given the same importance as in his/her good times. In our bad times, we can improve ourselves  to ourselves as much we can and be valuable to ourselves and others by our dedication and hard work. Our dedication and hard-work will do the same for us as the beautiful lights and flowers do to different parties or events to make them more beautiful and attractive. You would understand totally what I want to say after hearin

In a college somewhere, there was a boy who fell in love with a girl. After many days of only looking at the beautiful face of the girl, one day, the boy decided to share all of his feelings with the girl. After knowing about the feelings of the boy towards her, the girl said, “Sorry, you are nice but I am not interested in anything like that now.” The Reaction of His Friend After hearing this from the girl, he went to his friend to share this with him. The friend replied, “are you crazy? You shouldn’t ask anyone in the first go. First, you start talking to each other, then, you be her friend and after that, you share your feelings with her.” The boy said, “But, I didn’t have that much patience. I was going through sleepless nights for this.” The friend replied, “Yeah, you are really crazy, but now, you have to move on because it seems that she is not interested in you.” Boy:   No, I think there is something which is stopping her from expressing her feelings. I

In my childhood, after seeing my sad face, my mother used to say, “God has given equal abilities to everyone, we should never feel lesser than anyone.” Then, I used to believe that and smile back to my mother. But now, I think that the Almighty has made all of us different from others so that we can make our own identity different from others and the difference comes from lots of stuff. So that we don’t look like a copy or replica of others. Usually, we don’t get this and try to do blindly what others are doing without knowing ourselves properly. Everybody begins his/her life in different surroundings.   A person gets his/her qualities from the surroundings where he/she spends his her time. An Example of how Rohan and his life can be different from others Let’s have a look at this scenario. There is a boy named Rohan. Both of his parents are working. Everybody knows the amount of responsibilities parents   have on their shoulders as both of their parents work. In that

Day by day, the pace of our lives is increasing. There are lots of work to do in less time. And, in this scenario, we try to skip things or the things get skipped by mistake. Everything has its effect on something whether it’s good or bad. For example, you have woken up late in the morning. After brushing your teeth in a hurry, now, you rush towards your food, finish your food or half-finish it, so that you can reach your office, school or college as quick as possible. In the process, you leave your dirty plate on the table and it affects the environment in your room in a bad way. The cockroaches and creatures like that look out for the stuff you have left on the table (your dirty food plate). You may not even know that why you have fallen sick and wonder “How can I fall ill for no reason?”, but, as I have already said that everything has its effect on something, so that dirty thing on your table may be the reason for your falling ill. To get rid of falling ill from your dirty pl

Rajesh hails from a middle-class family. A few years ago, he was studying in a very popular private engineering college of our country. Now, Rajesh is going to narrate his story about how he had a crush in the college, how she became her girlfriend and what happened with their lives later. So, let’s hear what Rajesh wants to say. When I first entered the College……….. When I first entered the college I was feeling a little low. It was not that nobody liked to interact with me or teased me for something, in fact, I had made a few friends that day (First day of my college). Here is the reason why I was feeling low that day. That day, almost all the freshers whom I had noticed had some friends in the college whom they knew before (friends from childhood, previous school, college, etc), but that was not the case with me. As the days passed, I moved on from that low feeling and got synchronized with the college-life. Talking about crush If someone is talking about his s

Avoiding Wastage in Parties When I used to live in my colony, I and my friends used to have dinner together on special occasions. We used to serve together, dine together and have fun together. While doing so, we always had in mind that anyone doesn’t have any food or drinks more than one of us usually consumes or as the quantity decided before the party. I think everyone might be doing the same thing as we do while having a party or function with your closed ones. If this is the way we think about parties then why not do so while drinking water in our daily lives. Why not take the amount of water in the container as much you have to drink. So that everyone gets the equal amount of water and the water doesn’t get wasted. Livpure's Initiative To support this thing, Livpure has started an initiative called ‘CuttingPaani’ which means half a glass of water. It says that we should take half a glass of water instead of a full glass of water. If we take half a glass of water

Home or Outside Home Who does not love to have food outside the home ? It is no secret how much we crave for the stuff in the food trucks on the roads, kebabs, tikkas, rolls which always call us through their mesmerizing smells. Whether it’s somebody’s birthday or someone’s promotion, most of us go outside to satisfy our cravings and doing the same also feels very great, but it’s not always a good idea. We can’t eat outside all the time as it’s not that healthy as we have in our home and it’s not also good for your pocket especially if you are a person like me who is not into much costly stuff. Nowadays , most of the people have become very health conscious and they really care about what they eat, what nutrients it contains . So, to keep a check on these measures for having a healthy food lifestyle, we have to mostly depend on home food as the ingredients, its quantity and its style of being made is in our hands. Also ‘eating and cooking food at home’ is one of the food

There was an official party going on somewhere. In this party, a boy notices a girl and moves towards her. Let’s see what this boy has in his mind. Boy: Hi! Do you recognize me? I am from your college. Girl: Hi! Yes, I know that you are from our college. Boy: So, how are you? How are your friends? Girl: I am good. Most of them (friends) are in this city. Boy: How are they? Aren’t they at this party? Girl: No, they had other plans. They didn’t want to get into this boring thing. Boy: Boring? You mean this party? Didn’t you want to go with your friends? Girl: Actually, I and my friends work in the same company and are in the same project team. Since I have the cleanest image among them in the office, so, I am here at the party covering up for their marriage party. Boy: Is this party really that important? Girl: Yeah, it’s very important for our project. You have asked enough questions to me. Now it’s your turn. How’re you doing?

There were two organizations in a village. Both of them had the same motive to produce products which could impress the people in the village and to which the people can relate to, but they had different ways to do the same. The Organizations used to…….. One of the organizations used to produce the products which the people used to dream about but the other one used to make stuff which used to give the customers motivation to fight their weakness and problems. The products of the 2 nd organization were made taking into consideration of the conditions and the surroundings of the people in the village. The Village was divided The village was divided by the customers of the 1 st organization and that of the 2 nd organization, but most of them were the customers of the 1 st organization. Then, after some years, the customers of the 1 st organization got used to the same sort of the products. The people were beginning to feel that the things are not the same as it were

When I was studying in class ‘Prep’ I was with my parents at the Annual Sports Day in our school, I was 6 years of age, studying in class ‘Prep’ then. I had no idea about what was going on that day at the school. Before reaching the school that day, I even did not know that my parents had registered my name for the ‘Balloon Race’ there, I was just very happy riding with my parents on our scooter. In those days, I always enjoyed sitting on the little seat ahead of my father on the scooter. That day, our school was very crowded That day, our school was very crowded. There were sounds and their echoes everywhere, mostly because of the mikes and also due to the noise made by the kids and their parents. Many events were organized that day, most of them were related to athletics, but as a kid I was very confused about everyone jumping and running here and there. The Announcement for the Balloon Race Then came the announcement from one of the many mikes, “Dear parents of t

There was a group of school friends. Everybody in the school knew about that group. The friends were very fond of each other. Their bonding was such good that  they never cared about anything when they were with each other one of the friends was making fun of another friend One day, one of the friends was making fun of another friend’s nose. She then replied to it by saying, “Yeah, say whatever you want to, I don’t care about it. It doesn’t affect me. ” The other friends also joined him. The naughty friend took this as a challenge and made fun of her after every period break and made the other friends laugh. He did this because he knew that everything has a limit and he wanted to cross that limit. At last, he was successful in his motive. The girl couldn’t tolerate more and her eyes got filled with tears. He said to the girl while laughing and celebrating, “I did it. It does affect you. I made you cry.” This thing made the girl very sad and embarrassed. She got very lo

Vikash: Oh! You are late today. Naveen: Last night, we had a success party in our office and the boss has also given us a holiday today. Vikash: Success Party! Great! It seems your boss has netted a big fish. Naveen: Yeah, and we have also got some of the big fish. Vikash: Congrats on that. Now, I have to bath and leave for office or I will be late. Vikash says to himself, “Naveen is having a great ride in his life. It always feels great when you get something unexpected on that day from nowhere(he is mentioning about the success party and holiday here)” Neighbors in a City Naveen and Vikash are neighbors to each other in a city. They are not the best of friends but usually meet during festive occasions in the society, wave to each other while going to their respective offices & have a conversation like the one above. Vikash was very good in His Studies Vikash in his childhood was a boy whom Indian relatives and neighbors call “A Good Boy”. He

Letter of Invitation to an Event One day, when I checked my mailbox, there was a letter of invitation to an event. It was mentioned in the letter that many popular and powerful personalities of the globe are going to attend it. It was followed by “You are being invited to this event as a lucky invitee for being with us(The place where I usually shop) for so many years” At that time, an invitation to a glamorous and mesmerizing global event in my hand, I think I was the most excited and happiest person in the world at that moment. A Chance to travel by Flight for the First Time Other than these things, one thing that I was excited for was that I had to travel there by flight (as other than the letter, there was a flight ticket to the place with another ticket to return) and I had never boarded a flight before then but I had a passport. I was so excited about it that I didn’t even care about the place having a weird name, which I had never heard of. Since my

Dinesh after noticing Rajesh at the eatery where he (Dinesh) eats regularly , walked towards Rajesh. Rajesh at the eatery looked like having no idea where to go and where to not. Dinesh (to Rajesh, after reaching near him): I guess you need some help. Rajesh (while looking a little confused): Yeah. I think so. That guy told me that I can get the tokens for having the required food there, but, I can’t figure out where that guy was pointing at. Dinesh: I can help you here. Okay, let me explain to you. So, the problem is that the man who provides tokens for the required food has been covered by the crowd of men asking for tokens that’s why you are unable to figure out where the man with the tokens is. Come with me, I will get you there. Then, Dinesh went on to get the required tokens for Rajesh and himself . Both of them then moved towards the area where everyone was getting their food through the tokens. After getting the food both of them found a table there to sit around.   R
