Meeting The 2 Extremes : Cricket & Poetry

Time creates situations that mould strategies & set standards of living & thinking.
Transformation is the Law of Nature & only that identity survives which stands up to the test of time & is always receptive towards new ideas.Indian Civilization is a decent example of this Law.
Sometimes we feel to reflect back in our past for that was something which shaped u as an individual now.We come across varied experiences in our lives but some remain unforgettable.It can be destiny or the present innovation but some extremes give ur life an ideology for ever.
Here I would like to recall my meeting with the 2 extremes Cricket & Poetry.
Sports & Games was something i started little late than most of my friends.I used to see boys in the field toiling hard to win a match & felt surprised at their useless waste of time & energy but at the same time i was believing myself to be too soft to participate in sports which requires toughness of body & a passion to play.                                
It was a bright summer day & I went to school as usual .It was a Sports meet on that day.I was a studious person at that time who believed studies to be the only identity of a student.One of my friends won several medals in the school sports competition & showed me with eagerness.I,as usual responded dull but showed my happiness in formality as i was not very much interested in sports at that time as i stated above.
But soon I noticed a sense of deep pride & achievement in my friend for that .It was not the 1st occasion i saw a medal or something but it was a chance that this time i noticed the feeling about it. I inquired 'what is that  makes u so happy about that medal ?He replied,'U cannot understand that ,it requires that sportsman spirit to praise it'.Still i could not get him in totality but later contemplated on his remarks.
Here i could not elaborate everything but that was the 1st occasion when i sincerely thought of sports.
I started trying that toughness but it was not that easy for me because of my physical tenderness.The never to say die spirit but was something that was always present in me & still i believe this to be my only single ideology for life.I kept on trying again & again until I got that sportsman mark on myself.
Days passed by & i  became a good sportsman winning several athletic competitions & Cricket became my trademark in particular.Studies continued but now sports got a fair share.Now I enjoyed spending time in the fields with my friends & i was so serious about my game as if there was a preparation for the National team.
I was exceptionally good at batting & could also bowl well.Many of my friends admired my skills as a sportsman. I enjoyed every aspect of the game in every possible climate for instance the sunny days of April,the hot afternoon of June,the pleasantness of October & the striking cold of December,everything.I even made my own record book in which i added my Cricket scores regularly.It was Cricket all around for me.I promised my Mom that this will not impact my studies & mostly i kept my promises.
Still i have those precious awards,medals & certificates of my boyhood days & i love to see them again & again.Now i could not play my game because of my professional career but i always wish to get chances again & again.
Hopefully this was too much speaking of it & now from 1 point i believe its always good to shift choices for emotional well being.But i can never deny the significance of sports in shaping my identity & personality.
Poetry was the next extreme i came in contact with in my engineering & since then its close to my heart even now & i keep on adding that stuff .Strictly speaking, poetry is an organised form of deep human emotions.
It can be in any language but it ought to be from the bottom of the heart.Its a pure emotion i believe which reveals our innermost feelings.In other words its the soul identification mechanism i can say.The mind only assists the soul in this case.A poet must be a man of character because through his creations he can influence minds & cause revolution in the society.The History reveals this.Behind every successful struggles there was a poetic inspiration.Here on Bloggers i find some very good poetic thoughts & i appreciate u all for that masterstroke.Let it come freely from the heart.I am with u my friends.Let's sail together in the water of poetic emotions to seek the truth of human life.
Anyways the conclusion is that Studies can build up the mind but sports builds up the body which is a temple of a healthy mind.Do remember,only a healthy body can grasp concepts & that is why even Swami Vivekananda has emphasized to play football first than reading Bhagwad Gita as he believed Gita is for tough people,not for the weak & dull.
Strength is life & weakness is death in his words .
Lets open ourselves ,our nerves ,our body & fill ourselves with vitality.
I finally pray the almighty God to grant our every legitimate wishes.Hope u enjoyed the journey of my thoughts.

ACTION AND DESTINY

WELCOME DEAR READERS.
THE FIRST THING THAT USUALLY STRIKES IN MIND AFTER READING THIS TOPIC IS UNCERTAINTY & CONFUSION.I HAD MYSELF NOTICED THAT THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN MOSTLY DISCUSSED IN OUR DAY TO DAY LIFE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT YET ANY SATISFACTORY CONCLUSION HAS NOT BEEN DRAWN.EVERYONE EXPLAINS IT IN HIS OWN WAY.EVERY TIME ACTIONS ONLY ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO DEFINE EVERY INCIDENTS OF UR LIFE ESPECIALLY MISFORTUNES.THUS,A FINER LOOK IS REQUIRED TO JUSTIFY THE HAPPENINGS AROUND US.
THE ANCIENT INDIAN PHILOSOPHY IS A STANDING TESTIMONY FOR ITS UNIQUE CONTEMPLATIVE TEACHINGS ABOUT THE ASPECTS OF LIFE & THE UNIVERSE.
EVEN THE MODERN SCIENTISTS & PHILOSOPHERS HAVE APPROVED ITS WORTH.
IS THERE REALLY ANY LINK BETWEEN THESE TWO PARAMETERS OF ACTION AND DESTINY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY?
THE ANSWER IS STILL PENDING.
LET US FOCUS ON EACH OF THE PARAMETERS INDIVIDUALLY.
CONSIDER ACTION WHICH IS CERTAINLY IN OUR HANDS AS WE BELIEVE IT TO BE .WE ARE FREE TO DO WHATEVER WE LIKE.THE BASIC PHILOSOPHY OF ANY RELIGION ESPECIALLY HINDUISM FOCUSES ON ACTION.THE MOST SACRED TEXT OF HINDUISM 'BHAGWAD GITA' IS BASICALLY A TEXT DEFINING THE LAWS OF ACTION.
BY DEFINITION IT MEANS THAT WE CAN GET WHATEVER WE WANT BY OUR ACTIONS.SO ONE MUST GO FOR ACTION IN EVERY CASE.
BUT IS THE ANSWER SATISFACTORY?
I THINK NOT.WE ALL KNOW THAT WE CAN'T GET EVERYTHING BY ACTION AND THIS WE ALL MUST HAVE EXPERIENCED IN OUR DAY TO DAY  LIVES.
ACTUALLY THE WORD 'ACTION' HERE HAS A VERY DEEP MEANING & EVEN IT HAS MORE THAN 1 FORM & TYPE OF EXPRESSION & MANIFESTATION.
NOW LET US CONSIDER DESTINY,THE UNREVEALED FORCE IN OUR LIFE WHICH WORKS BEHIND THE MAIN STAGE BUT HAS GREAT INFLUENCE UPON US.
I THINK AND MOST PROBABLY YOU MAY  ALSO BE BELIEVING DESTINY TO BE THE HIDDEN SEED IN ACTION.YES THAT'S TRUE.WE ARE NOW APPROACHING TO OUR LINK SLOWLY.
TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF A PARENT HAVING 5 CHILDREN .THE PARENT DID EQUAL LABOR CALLED ACTION TO BRING UP & NURTURE ALL OF THEM.BUT STILL 5 CHILDREN GREW UP INTO 5 DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES.WHY IS IT SO?
IT IS BECAUSE ACTION ALONE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT TO MOULD & CHALLENGE THEIR INHERENT TENDENCIES BY BIRTH WHICH THEY ACCUMULATED FROM INNUMERABLE PAST LIVES.THE ACTION OF THE PAST ALONG WITH ITS EFFECT & IMPRESSIONS STILL CONTINUES WITH US & WE ALL ARE STILL ADDING OR SUBTRACTING OUR ACCOUNTS WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY & NATURE OF OUR ACTIONS.
THUS WE FIND THAT ACTION AND DESTINY ARE INTERRELATED TERMS.TODAY'S ACTION CAN BECOME TOMORROW'S DESTINY.SO ONE MUST KEEP A KEEN WATCH ON HIS ACTIONS.
I PRAY TO THE ALMIGHTY TO SHOWER HIS BLESSINGS UPON US ,SO THAT WE REMAIN FOCUSSED ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
