Triumph and Disaster

……‘If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat these two imposters just the same;’……

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And – which is more – you’ll be a Man my son!’

- Rudyard Kipling

Capitalism in Cricket

Capitalism, Free Market, Gobalisation - All these fancy words were looked upon in India as something the mightier countries using to impose their strong hand will upon not so mighty nations. American and european trade policies were always looked with sort of hatred, thinking that that will ruin the native trade in countries for like India


And look now whats happening. With the birth of Indian Premier League Cricket, the tables have turned upside down. India is now being criticised as a capitalist atleast in cricket. Now foreign boards are afraid that IPL might steal their players or might ruin the cricket in their own country.

What is India emerging into? Another economic superpower? With the fast growing economy, and with novel business ideas, one cannot simply put this thought away!!

Love's Not Time's Fool!!

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved. A sonnet from Shakespeare.. Just thought about. Love's not Time's Fool. It is difficult, but is certainly worth all.

Love and Understanding

Each one of us today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing help, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding.


-- from A River Runs Through It.


How true is this statement? Complete love is possible without complete understanding.

Mind's Eye!!
