Every single day, at a height of 214 feet, a priest fearlessly climbs the Jagannath Temple in Puri without ropes or any safety equipment to change the flag
Missing this ritual would mean closing the temple for 18 years
Dhwaja Parivartan is an 1800 year old ritual, this tradition is older than many religions

Before yesterday’s historic double gold, Dhiraj Bommadevara had four career World Cup bronzes.
It would have been so easy for him to believe that life was telling him that he was not ever meant to be at the top position
So for me, Dhiraj’s real enemy, who he defeated, was self-doubt.
The message I took away?
If you're currently stuck in a "bronze" phase of your journey, keep pulling at the bow.
Your gold is coming.
