Excellent storytelling by Shaun Pollock on team meetings and how it doesn't always help... Perhaps why MS Dhoni didn't believe much in them and at max had a minute or so before games!
Also, notice the quality of commentary here compared to what Indians are fed with! 🙏@abcsport

We don’t hype Dinkar enough. Read these four stanzas to witness absolute genius! Every word remains undeniably true across time, generations and species.
क्षमा, दया, तप, त्याग, मनोबल, सबका लिया सहारा,
पर नर-व्याघ्र सुयोधन तुमसे, कहो, कहाँ, कब हारा?
(You tried forgiveness, patience, and sacrifice, but did Duryodhana ever back down because of your restraint?)
क्षमाशील हो रिपु-समक्ष, तुम हुये विनत जितना ही,
दुष्ट कौरवों ने तुमको, कायर समझा उतना ही।
(The more humble you were before your enemies, the more they dismissed you as a coward.)
अत्याचार सहन करने का, कुफल यही होता है,
पौरुष का आतंक मनुज, कोमल होकर खोता है।
(When a person becomes excessively soft and passive, they lose the healthy fear or respect that their strength and valor ought to command in others.)
क्षमा शोभती उस भुजंग को, जिसके पास गरल हो,
उसका क्या जो दंतहीन, विषरहित, विनीत, सरल हो।
(Forgiveness is a noble attribute only for a venomous snake that commands fear. What value or dignity is there in the "forgiveness" of a snake that has no teeth, carries no venom, and is inherently harmless and meek?)

Someone once told me that fear of heights is not really the fear of falling but the fear that the irrational urge to throw yourself over the edge will become irresistible. True in my experience

कल का भारत पाक क्रिकेट मैच में आपने यदि यह कमेंट्री नहीं सुनी तो कुछ नहीं सुना या देखा।
हरियाणवी कमेंट्री = 100% शुद्ध घी जैसा आनंद।
ऐसा लग रहा है जैसे पाकिस्तान की टीम क्रिकेट खेलने नहीं सिर्फ गोभी खुदवाने ही आई थी।
हरियाणवी भाई ने इनका शुरूआती 'मुहूर्त' ही बिगाड़ दिया था।

3 Communists walk into a bar, one orders a $15 mixed drink, one a $10 Martini, and the other a $6 beer. When the bill comes, based on their mantra, they are forced to split the bill equally.
Next week, the three, once again, return to the bar, but this time, they all ask for separate checks, so the bartender asks them, why aren’t they splitting the bill equally, since in communism, everyone pays the same fair share. The three communists reluctantly agree, and once again split the check 3 ways.
The following week, the three communists return, but with a mob of devoted followers, and protest the bartender, to change the prices of all their drinks, to the cheapest drink on the menu.
In fear of his business vandalized or burned down, the bartender agrees. So the following week all the communists come in and enjoy their $6 equally priced drinks, and celebrate the successes of communism.
The Communists continue this for several more weeks, until one Friday they return to the bar, to find it closed, with a sign out front, stating that the bar is out of business.
And that comrades, is how communism works.

I believe that many bikers in India are alive today only because a car or 4-wheeler applied sudden brakes to avoid hitting them when they suddenly cut in.
Imagine millions of bikers on the road- alive only due to other people's reflexes!
In India, bikers need DRIVER EDUCATION more than anyone, but ironically they are the least trained/educated in road safety.
And so the deaths continue...

On the island of Capri in Italy there is a cave where sunlight passing through an underwater cavity and through the water lighting it up a vivid blue,
its name- The Blue grotto
