In India, Cricket is the only sport which has huge fan following and will be in headlines. Rest of the sports are never taken in to account. One such underachievement was the youngest to swim in the Antarctic waters. It belongs to Bhakthi Sharma, a girl who conquers the oceans. She started swimming at the age of two and half where kids can barely walk. She was born in Mumbai and brought up in Udaipur. Her mother is a national-level swimmer. She trains Bhakthi from a very young age.
First of all, I want to thank willofsteel site for showcasing a lot of unsung heroes. Most of their stories were heart touching while I am hearing about it for the first time. I always wonder why India doesn't produce Benthany Hamilton or Corporal Todd Love. Finally, when I read about Arunima Sinha's Mount Everest climb; I stand and salute her. I would like to share her story, which will inspire anyone reading this post.
It was a hot day in Chennai. I got stuck in a heavy polluted traffic, it was a long queue. I was already late for a meeting. Mr.Aditya was a leading industrialist, he is waiting for me to discuss his future insurance plans. I got a call from Mukesh sir, my boss. He urges me to attend the client immediately. I lie him that I will be there in a few mins. My job is never an easy one. I used to travel at least 100 km a day. It will drain you both mentally and physically. I am waiting in the first row, timer was now in 55 seconds. It should be clear soon.
My Mom is visiting me for the first time since I moved to the new city. She was a school teacher, it's her nature that she asks so many questions. She usually scolds me for pretty much everything I do, but always loves me. I kind of miss her these days. To my surprise, she arrived earlier than the expected time. I welcome her in the door. She hugs me and immediately notice the smell. She asked, "whether you have taken a bath ?" I replied "Yes, mom but it was yesterday." She angrily responded "First go and take bath Sanju."
I am accessing world cup based upon the performance. Cricket is a sport loved by billions in our nation. I follow cricket from 2003 world cup, where Indians lost to the mighty Aussies. I was heart-broken when Sachin was out in the first over of the massive target(359/2). In that era, 350 plus chase was not possible. Today, the game has changed drastically with the invention of T20 games, new rules, power-plays, heavy bats, etc. Nowadays, teams are even ready to chase 400 plus targets. Let's analyse batting, bowling and fielding individually in detail.
Today is my 34th birthday, as I am getting one year older. I look myself in-front of the mirror and wonder what all went wrong over a few years. I have a few white hairs and my body isn't fit as it was before. There are a few wrinkles in my face as well.
It is a fictional conversation between mobile and web, fighting about their dominance in today's technology. The chart implicit the count of users who uses mobile and web from 2007 to 2015.
Mobile : Hey web, have you checked the recent statistics? I will dominate you by a large margin in the upcoming days. The future definitely belongs to me.
Web : Ok mobile. so, you thought you were better than me.
There are always two phases in every single love story. First one is falling in love; It is an easy one. Everyone falls for someone, but to pick the right one was very important in this phase. Second one is proposing, most love stories end here. It is a very hard thing. Some even not reveal their love, but this phase decides the climax of the story. I am going to write here about this phase only. This story belongs to my friends Mr. and Mrs. Chandru and I am writing it on behalf of them.
Everyone in their lives has certain small wishes, which they plan to do in the future. I too have a few dreams which I have been putting off for sometime now. Mostly, the postponement was due to various reasons like financial problems, no time, stability, etc.
I am going to write about my friend Deepika Muthusamy. She is a blogger, author, trekker, marathon runner and software engineer . I interview her about each of these things and get an interesting reply. These are the following questions I have asked her.
When do u start blogging? What for?
My sister's son Sanju is my inspiration for my first post. I can't forget that day when he was born, I just started in IBM. I didn't get leave at that time; I had high hopes of meeting him. I meet him only at the weekend. It was one of my wonderful experiences; I want to share it with everyone. It started like these and soon I got more visitors who give me more confidence to write.
Everyone in their lives goes through this phase where they are not sure about which option to choose, which leads them a success. All it matters was making righteous choice at this crossroads of life. Sometimes the decision might ever change our life either good or bad. One such decision was taken by my friend pooja. Usually when a boy chooses his passion over commitments, it's called risk, brilliance; however, when a girl does that, family neighbors tag her as stubborn, headstrong.
