IPL and India’s Unity

A larger-than-life and vivid inaugural ceremony signalled the start of the lucrative DLF Indian Premier League… When the match actually started, it was a one-of-its-kind experience to see all those great players belonging to a different country playing as a team!!

It was a gripping moment when the Kolkata Knight Riders were all set for the duel with Banglaore Royal Challengers. The fun part is all good, but does IPL divide India into groups?!! I couldn’t really decide whether I should support Kolkata or Bangalore. They all belong to our country.

When there is the match between India and Australia, everyone unanimously supports India; but isn’t IPl splitting India into various groups who support different teams. the video below shows how..

Wouldn’t it have been better if the team name would have been like “Knight Riders” instead of “Kolkata Knight Riders” or “Royal challengers” in place of “Bangalore Royal challengers“. That would give the opportunity to support a team based on their performance or the players rather than places!!

God save India from this over hyped stuff.

What do you want to be when u grow up?!

How many of us were not bugged by the question when we were kids?!! One thing that particularly interests me is the answers: Doctor, Engineer, Actor, Singer, Writer etc. etc…

Isn’t that too early to decide.. How can you want to be an Engineer at the age when you don’t really understand what is it all about… and no, being a Doctor doesn’t really mean prescribing medicines to sick people.

Even if we know what all it takes to be what we want to, shouldn’t we consider our Interests and Acumen while making a career decision?! Just because most of our classmates are opting for a course can we do the same… and if one thinks that a particular profession is more rewarding than another, it doesn’t hold true. But how do we get to know what are we good at? well, thats a tricky question!!

Why don’t we just let the kids grow up without thinking about what they want to become after a decade!! Why don’t we let them discover things themselves, use their imagination… They’ll come up with some creative answers for sure..

I like what Leo has to say about it. [see the video below]
