The Baby in my friend’s neighborhood One day, I planned to meet my friend whom I had not met since a long time. So, I left for my friend’s place. After reaching his place, I had a great time with my buddy but the great time became greater when I saw a baby crawling on the floor in my friend’s neighborhood.  Soon, I was introduced to the baby by my friend and the baby’s mother. When I went near the baby to play with him, he smiled at me and crawled to get his toys and play with them. It looked like he was researching on the toys when he was removing some part of a toy and then joining back to it and throwing them & picking them.  I think the baby had lots of work to do that day. He seemed like a busy baby, never steady, always doing something with anything.  After having a wonderful time with my friend, his family, and the baby, I came back home and got busy with my work. I visited the baby again to relax For months, I was working on a project. While do...

Do we have control on our dreams? Should a certain category of people dream about only a particular type of dreams? The answers to these questions would be obviously no. Anyone can dream anything. Everybody has the right to follow their dreams and make them true. One of those dreams are the dreams of studying or having a job in foreign countries. Communication is the key for studying or working abroad Whether we work or study in our nation or abroad, we obviously have to be hard-working and dedicated but when it is about doing the same in abroad, we need a little bit more than that. Whatever we study or work we do in abroad, we need communication between our classmates or co-workers, the people around us but we can’t do the same with our native language/s. So, we have to be good at the skills of English to do so. Not only we should be able to speak English but listen to the pronunciation or accent of the speaker then only we can understand them and reply back to them. ...

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 he...

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...

Do you like video games? Some love them, some hate them and some don’t care about them. I used to love video-games in my childhood a lot. Here, I am not talking about high graphics 3-dimensional or 4-dimensional  kind of stuff. I am talking about the 2-dimensional TV video games. I used to have that type of video-game console. To play with it, you had to connect its audio and video wires with the Tv. Then, you would be having the game cassettes having names like ‘ 8 in 1 ’, ‘ 6 in 1 ’, ‘ 4 in 1 ’, ‘ 99999999999 in 1 ’, etc. You have to insert that cassette into the video-game console to play. There was an eject button for the cassette to come out of it. My first experience with the video-game On weekends, I with my family used to visit my cousin’s house. There was one Sunday, I was in my cousin’s place. I saw something which I had never thought it existed. I used to love cartoons very much. The cartoons on the TV attracted my eyes that day. Then I observed that these c...

Saying Yes to Friendship during my School Days  In my school, there was a boy with whom nobody wanted to be seated with and be friends with in the class. Some children were saying that he scares the one who sits beside him. Some said that he is very naughty and disturbs the child who sits beside him and not make him read. One day, in the morning, I was late for the school. So, I had to sit next to the boy, that day, the teacher made me to do so since, there was no other place to sit. In the Maths period, I had a doubt about one question, so, I asked about it to our Maths teacher but due to his busy schedule that day, he told me to clear my doubt in the next day. After saying that to me, our maths teacher left the class, right after then, the boy snatched the book from and started explaining the Maths problem to me and started solving it on his own. Due to this Maths problem, a conversation started between us and we got to know about each other a lot. After that, he became my...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Are we confused or do not want to learn? We buy a bike. O.k. Then we buy a helmet, very good. But, we don’t wear the helmet every time we ride a bike because we prefer particular locations for wearing it (helmet). Most of us wear the helmet near traffic checking take it away from our head after crossing the traffic checking. We also take a little pride by fooling the traffic police here. Really, now the question is, are we fooling the traffic police or our lives? The helmet is not for saving a few bucks from your pocket but for saving your life. Your life is much more precious than the few bucks in your pocket. Youngsters think that it’s cool to not wear a helmet while riding a bike. Ok, it may make you look cool but is looking cool is worth your life? You should first be alive to be cool. Some say, “everybody doesn’t wear a helmet, not all of them get affected.”  Those people who say those things are not going to come for your loved ones if anything happens to yo...

Do you remember the days when you were a kid? There was someone with whom you used to be very happy. He or she might be your mother, brother, sister or anyone else. Do you know what they are called? They are called friends. There is a saying that “a friend in need is a friend indeed”, however, the simple definition of a friend is anyone with whom you feel comfortable with, feel relieved and share your thoughts freely with. Friends are those with whom you love spending time, whether the time is good or bad. Having friends in your life is like a journey. This journey starts right after we get born. In this early phase of our life, the family members who take care of us are our friends, like our parents, grandparents, uncle, aunt, etc. When we grow little older, we get to meet more and new people, especially of our age groups. Then we get close to them, we get fond of each other. We play, see TV, and most importantly, enjoy with each other. Then, we grow up to the age of going...

When I recall about my childhood, mostly, it is about cricket, Bollywood, and cartoons. I remember my uncles and cousins visiting our home for lunch on Sunday on the occasion of a cricket match consisting of the Indian Cricket Team.  I was in class II (2nd grade) then and was enjoying some cartoon show, I think it was “Bat-man”, then my father snatched away the t.v. remote from me for watching a cricket match that day. I hated my father that day, because it was going great for me watching Bruce Wayne doing something with his “Extra Large Screen Computer” in the Bat-Cave, wearing the Bat-man suit, taking out weapons from his belt and fighting with the villains like “The Joker”, “The Penguin”,”Two-Face” and many more. Now, let’s move back to my father, cricket and tv remote. So, I hated him for the 'remote snatching incident' for cricket but now, I am 23 years old, and I do the same thing with others who are younger to me. I did not know then how the game is celebrate...

According to what I read in some English newspapers, If you are born between January 20 th and February 18 th , your zodiac sign is “Aquarius”. If you are born between February 19 th and March 19 th , your zodiac sign is “Pisces”. If you believe in the above, then do you know how is it going to benefit you? If you properly observe any astrologers, you would get to know that most of their sentences contain “may”. This means that there is no guarantee that it is going to happen with you. I take the predictions as “the pitch report before a match” and life as cricket matches or tournaments. Always believe in yourselves and consider the predictions if they are positive for you and if not, forget about it, but don’t sit back and ride on it. 

Again, Wankhede becomes Magical for the Batsmen in the 2 nd Innings Since 2011 World Cup Final, It has been a tough task for the bowlers to resist the batsmen in the 2 nd innings at Wankhede. In the 2011 World Cup final, India batted 2 nd and was the better side,  but the story was not same in yesterday’s match against New Zealand & the 2016 T20 world cup semi-finals against West Indies(now Windies). In both of the mentioned matches, India had good scores on the board but failed to defend it. The batsmen in the 2 nd Innings were unstoppable in the 2 nd Innings. Yeah, there were dropped chances, but the way it happens most of the times in Wankhede, it is magic for me. This magic may be the cause of the hot and humid conditions there, causing sweat in the fielders’ hands. It has also happened in the IPL many times. We have seen Mumbai Indians winning from nowhere at the Wankhede, batting second Records falling in Love with Virat Kohli Virat Kohli surpassed ...
