I don't remember where I found this, but its spot on.

Not sure how one can take a catch like this in a pressure situation.. speaks to the character of SKY to keep himself calm.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

A generation of cricket fans will be telling their children about Sky’s catch.

People think that only way to glorify their hero/team is undermining other player or team…

Following cricket for a long time, I don’t think there has been a better cricketer than Kohli.

Commitment to better himself & cricket unparalleled. Inspiring personality

KKR look unstoppable. Always hard to beat a strong bowling team, even though bowlers doesn’t get the attention like batters.

Batsman once out is out of the match. Bowlers even after getting hit for a six, can come back and bowl a better ball. Advantage bowler …

When the plan is executed to perfection! 🫂

Wonderful game of cricket. On the edge game till the last over.

Faf - what a catch ? Kohli - Mr consistent energetic leader. Dayal - silent performer. Maxwell - getting into form. Cameron - shots races like a bullet.

Great team performance !

Never count #RCB out. What a turnaround! What a performance! Let’s go get that title now! 💪🏆

With so much unpleasant news and shocking revelations around an incident involving an IIT educated Chief Minister, his official residence and a female member of his own party, I wish to share my experience with another IIT educated Chief Minister, his official residence and a female relative of his own staff (1/10).

If your income is 1 Crore, you will roughly pay 40%+ tax in India.

(Plus indirect taxes)

Next year ---let's say-- you lose your job.
And your income goes to 0.

You will get 0 benefits.
Let me clarify the context:

- You won't send your kids to government schools.
- You won't avail treatment in a public hospital.
- You won't avail free ration.

Therefore there is no (REAL) safety net for people paying taxes in India.

This puts a lot of stress, pressure & a feeling of injustice.

That share your upside.
But, no one will give a shit about your downside.

And, this is what is precisely wrong with our taxation.

Teach a people to hate themselves and their history and they are defenseless against mind viruses.

They can be reprogrammed with ease.

As a leader, one of the biggest responsibility is to create opportunity for talented folks.

To be happy we need something to solve. Happiness requires problems. Happiness is therefore a form of action; it's an activity, not something that is passively bestowed upon you.

Excel (or Google sheet) is one of the best tool to learn, especially for a person making decisions regularly.

It’s not about Excel, but it is a means to slice and dice the data to make important objective decisions.

Incredible that the most profound and sacred civilizational symbol for India is a timeless historical figure who embodies honour, sacrifice, courage, justice, duty. So unlike the mascots of most nations where territorial, cultural and material aggrandizements are evoked as the ultimate accomplishments of those civilizations.

[ashokss _ಅಶೋಕ್ @ashokss]

A nation, political party or an organisation needs a leader/person who embodies the aspiration and values that people long for. This serves as an inspiration to the masses.

Without this leader, political party/organisation becomes directionless and gradually die.

It won’t surprise you that my #MondayMotivation this morning is the #MaryadaPurushottam Lord Ram.

Because he is a figure that transcends Religion.

No matter what one’s faith, we are all drawn to the concept of a being that is dedicated to living with honour and with strong values.

His arrows are targeted at evil & injustice.

The state of ‘Ram Rajya’—ideal governance—is an aspiration for all societies.

Today, the word ‘RAM’ belongs to the world…

Watched this movie few days back. Outstanding and motivational movie..

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

Finally saw ‘12th FAIL’ over this past weekend.
If you see only ONE film this year, make it this one.

Why?

1) Plot: This story is based on real-life heroes of the country. Not just the protagonist, but the millions of youth, hungry for success, who struggle against extrordinary odds to pass what is arguably one of the most competitive exams in the world.

2) Acting: @VidhuChopraa does a brilliant job of the casting. Each character is credible in the role & they turn in gritty, passionate performances. But @VikrantMassey delivers a bravura performance that merits a National Film Award. He was not just acting out the character’s life, he was living it.

3) Narrative style: Vidhu Chopra emphatically reminds us that great cinema is about great stories. Period. And that special effects are no match for the simplicity & authenticity of a story well told.

The highlight for me was the interview scene. Yes, it may seem a bit contrived, but the profound dialogue makes this sequence hit you squarely between the eyes and shows you what India must do to build a new Bharat.

Mr Chopra, yeh dil maange more films like this!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
