In 1903, two crazy guys had invented the and flew the world’s first powered and controlled airplane. They risked their lives and gifted the world aviation, they gifted mankind wings to fly.

4500 BC, in a dark cave, a man had invented wheel. And the world was never the same.

In late 1930s, a man left his fortunes and family to pursue a dream, knowing he would never be able to return home. A dream to free a nation.

They had one life. Just like you and me.

A lot of courageous people in past have made the greatest of the discoveries and genius of the innovations possible by risking their lives. Some even died fighting the religion, which hunted them for inventing some of the important gifts to mankind. 

If only we could hold our future and treat it as preciously as they did.

World has become smaller, when a man invented the wheel. 
World has become brighter, when a man invented the bulb. 
World has become selfish, when a man invented currency.

Almost every comfort we take for granted today, has a struggle and a great story behind it. Sometimes I feel how ungrateful we have become.... Now is the time we learn to be grateful again. Grateful to the people who put their lives at risk for us. Only if we become compassionate, we can survive this pandemic. Otherwise we stand no chance.

You are not really living, if you are not dedicated to an idea. 
Find a purpose. Purpose, worth living for. Purpose, worth dying for. 

And if you still have it figured it out, start your search. Find it so that you can play your part. Seek and you shall find it.

The true story of fire and ice It was April 2005.  I was in my 7th standard. I was riding my bicycle fast, to go to a near by medical shop. No, not to buy anything but to check on the score, as we had a power cut. Sehwag got out. He should have been little careful, missed his century. Idiot. I was cursing him in my head. I just hope the rest of the team manages to make a respectable score now.  It’s time for me to go to ground and play cricket. We played for sometime and came back to check on the score once again. There he was on the little television set at the corner in the medical shop. He had a long hair and boggling with joy. ‘That’s his first century, he is the new wicketkeeper in Karthik’s place’ said one my friend. He was stout tall and with wide shoulders. He looked so different from a regular international player. He looked callous in attitude.  ‘What’s his name’, I asked, he replied ‘Dhoni’.  That was the first time I saw you. You were full of energy, but ...

2020. We all hate the year. All of us suffered. Most of us lost a lot. Strange things happened, and we ended up doing weird things. Most of it all, we all grew. We evolved.  Suddenly, life has become difficult. Everything we took for granted has become so eluding in no time. We no more can enjoy simplest of joys like going to a movie or to shop in a mall. Visiting a grocery store has become our little adventure. We got agitated, frustrated and few of us depressed. We understood how brittle our lives are and how less time we owe on this planet. We found happiness in little things. And man, those little things we never paid attention to, really made the difference for us this year. Little things like eating with your parents, reading an old book that you bought years ago and never read, going through your photo albums and realizing how beautiful your mom was on her wedding day, binge watching a web series with your sibling. This time you got to spend with your family was very refresh...
