Invictus: One of which I like!!

Knew about it all along, but saw the movie yesterday. Read it on net and realised it was plain; how i perceive it. Shaurya to Live!

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

This is an open letter to Mr. Sean Abbott. For reference Mr. Abbott you do not know me. Mr. Sean Abbott, We are a family of sports men and women and our love for sports is not restricted to international boundaries. Cricket is a religion in India. And it does not distinguish between nationalities. We did not personally know Mr. Philip Hughes. All we knew about him was when he played for Mumbai Indians. We had also heard that he was the youngest player to score to score back to back test centuries. We Indians grieve for a life lost young and pray for his family too! You on the other hand knew him as a team mate, a fellow cricketer and an Australian. You shared moments and thus memories! Mr Abbott we feel so much for you that it is more than prayers. It is concern for a young man who has his long life ahead. We cannot and do not claim to speak on behalf of Mr. Hughes. We have read so much about him that we all feel him to be a lively chap; someone you would want to be be around ...

Hum - We

When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one. This collective mind of theirs helps them achieve the impossible. Hum - We!  Can we do something on our own without taking even a gram of help from anyone? Except breathing, I do not think I know of any other activity which does not involve the contribution of others. I know this for a fact! But for our 'Aham' (Sanskrit for Ego) we believe that we can do anything alone as we are too powerful to be. but the moment we say 'I' we negate all the contributions of all around us.

Ms Unbreakable

So, today was supposed to be the day where I could get sunlight soak the pores of my left arm.it sure felt like that way when I visualised my arm free of the Plaster of Paris which has sat heavy on it for the past 3 weeks. But it was not to be! Date shifted off. You know words like these helped to keep it going....No, no I never did pity myself nor did let anyone else do it. Bought more clothes than I did an entire year! And always kept something on my WANT List! But, I wished I could go to the Raahgiri day tomorrow! But that was not to be. Ok, any Sunday would do! God! In the hospital I met someone with an ligament injury....Real painful. Obviously, my pain doesn't really bother me when I see people hurt bad. In a hospital, my bitter side just disappears. A new PATIENT Me appears! I really dig that Me! But apart from the hospital I am the Warrior Me! So, went to pick up Pillow cases, Pink and Peach! I also realised today that I dislike Peach in all shades, so far. While ha...
