Indian Triumph

By -



‘Indian Triumph!’ This says it all.

Everything was going on good and things seemed to be in control. It is said that you plan for something but life has something else in store for you. That was the same case with the aggressive Indian side. Favoring the Indian team for three days, the fortunes changed hands in split of a second. The match that was supposed to be in India’s hand had started slipping out. The Lankans could realize it and by the time Indians could, the innings was wrapped up. Sri Lanka were 1-0 up in the series. After this the aggression was questioned by the critics.



Being 1-0 down, it was difficult to win the series, that too after a shocking loss. The Lankans were in no mood of taking things lightly as they were in a plan of giving ‘Kumar Sangakkara’ a sweet farewell. Now, it was time to hunt the lions. Indians continued from where their fortunes had left them with the same enthusiasm and aggression. The all-round effort of the Indian team spoiled Sanga’s farewell plans and leveled the series 1-1.

 
It was the time for the decider. The aggression was now visible on the face of each and every team member. Chateshwar Pujara making a comeback carried his bat forward scoring 145*, he being only the second Indian to do it against Sri Lanka after Virender Sehwag. The centre of attraction being Ishant Sharma. Sri Lanka was no doubt short of experience as they had big boots to be filled in. Kushal Perera did just that. The debutant notched up half centuries in both the innings. It was a brilliant effort by both the teams. At the end of the day, better side wins and this time it was India. The century knock of the Sri Lankan captain went in vain. Even though Sri Lanka lost the series they won the hearts of the people. 



Finally a win for the Indian team on foreign soil after almost 3 years. The first series win for India in Lanka after 22 years under the composed but aggressive captain Virat Kohli. Hope India continue the winning streak on the foreign soil in the future as well. Cheers India !

It started off in the early December’15 and went quiet for a while and then came as a blessing in the mid-January’16. When things seemed to have settled down, there was a surprise call which said, “You have been shortlisted for the interview.” For a moment I was awestruck and couldn’t respond to it, but then yeah, I had a feeling of something good was going to happen and it did. The short listing was on the PAN India basis and being among the few from all over the country is a great feeling in itself. ION T rading; that was the company we were going to give a shot at. The best part of it was that it was supposed to be held in Noida office and all the expenses of the students appearing for the interview would be borne by the company itself. Adding to that, it was a blessing in disguise for a person like me who loved travelling. After a week, our wait came to an end when we received the mail containing the details of the flight tickets and the hotel as well. A little bit

                    Diwali, which falls on the darkest new moon night of the month of Kartik in the Hindu calendar, celebrates light and knowledge that comes from inner cleansing. The festival is celebrated by people of various faiths, but for Hindus, Jains and Sikhs, it commemorates special events that symbolize the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.            Before Diwali, people clean or decorate their homes and workplaces.On Diwali night, they light oil lamps or candles in their homes and offer prayers, usually invoking Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.            These practices have become ritualized over time, but they have deep spiritual significance, related to the renewal and rejuvenation of the human soul in its journey through time.            The cleaning done prior to Diwali is an expression of the cleansing that the soul needs to undergo in order to hold the wealth of wisdom and virtues that God grants

An idle mind is a devils workshop.

"An idle mind is a devils workshop,isn't it??"             This was back then. But as the time passes, interpretation of these quotes change as well. Let’s try to understand this considering the various stages of a human’s life starting from the childhood to adolescence and finally the old age.                                 No one actually knows what is going on in a kids mind. Moods can be easily understood but not the thought process. Even if the kid is sitting idle or there is a pause in the flow of thoughts, the idle mind can’t be turned into a devil’s workshop as the mind is still in the process of growth and it hardly knows anything about a devil or the evil stuff around. The only thing that their mind can do is give birth to the creative instincts and a whole new world of imagination. So, a kids brain no matter what, hardly gives any room for the devil to set up the workshop.                         Time flies and within the blink of an eye the
