Spirit of India

1) The Passive Way --- People exhibiting passive behavior tend to the needs of others more than their own, as they think they are inferior to others. Passive people may not agree to what others say, but they usually follow others' decisions to avoid confrontation, blame, or responsibility. However, passive people suffer from self-esteem-related issues such as depression, as their needs are always overlooked. 2) The Aggressive Way --- Aggressive people believe in standing up for their rights, even if it comes at the cost of jeopardizing the rights and hurting the feelings of other people. They believe in exerting their own rights, but not in equal rights. They usually get their own way by bullying, intimidating, or being pushy with others. Over a period of time, they suffer from isolation issues, as people are unlikely to stay affectionate with aggressive people for long. 3) Passive-Aggressive Way --- People who exhibit this behavior do it to retain some order of freedom ...

- Not everyone gets what they deserve. Destiny sometimes have strange plans. - Don’t be an open book. People find only those things tempting that are either enigmatic or concealed for some intent. - Do good, be good. But yes, don’t be a prey to someone because of your humble attitude. - The more you’ll choose to stay grounded, the more you’ll see the heights. - Changes are inevitable. Embrace them to treat yourself with peace of mind. - No one except your parents will feel happy with your success in long-term. People will envy you at certain moment of life; this is very human nature. - Love is healing. And pacifying. And soothing. Don’t do anything nonsensical which can cause your loved ones leave you. - Loyalty is always rewarded. - Never be vocal to your weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Someone can exploit them and you’ll be left with regrets for lifetime. - People will always miss you when they need something out of you. Calls, texts and casual meetings without a p...

When they landed in the Caribbean, expectations were firmly upon the young Indian team to assert their dominance against a struggling West Indies unit. Armed with a new head coach in Anil Kumble, they looked forward to a new era. The action began at a stadium named after the iconic Sir Viv Richards where India announced their intentions by going in with five specialist bowling options and registered anemphatic innings victory (their biggest outside Asia). With West Indies conceding a massive 304-run lead at Sabina Park, things seemed to be unraveling pretty quickly. However, an unexpected rear guard from Roston Chase and company denied them a second successive triumph. But, normalcy was restored as the visitors worked on their shortcomings and returned to take anunassailable lead in St Lucia. Needing another win to retain the number one ranking, they were left frustrated with insufficient drainage facilities at Port of Spain whichled to a farcical end to the proceedings. Let u...

In a nutshell, he is clearly the incarnation of Rahul Dravid in the Indian cricket ...
