🚨🗣️🇦🇷 Ángel Di María on why he joined Real Madrid:
"Real Madrid felt like a national team because every position was filled by one of the best players in the world.
Sharing a dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, Modrić, Kaká, Casillas, Sergio Ramos, and Pepe was something truly unique.
I never fully realized I was playing for the biggest club in the world because I was simply enjoying football."
🚨 🇩🇪 Toni Kroos on How the GOAT Criteria Kept Changing;
🗣️"What I find funny is how the narrative kept changing. In 2016, when Cristiano Ronaldo won the Euros while Messi still hadn't won an international trophy, many people still refused to call Ronaldo the GOAT.
Then Kylian Mbappé won the World Cup in 2018, and suddenly the World Cup wasn't enough to make someone the greatest.
But the moment Messi finally won it in 2022, the same people started saying, 'You can't be the GOAT without a World Cup.' That's not consistency, that's moving the goalposts.
I have huge respect for Messi as one of football's greatest ever players after Cristiano Ronaldo but some of his fans have a habit of changing the criteria whenever it suits their argument."

🚨🎙️| Steven Gerrard on the biggest regret of his career:
🗣️ “People will expect me to say certain moments, certain games… but if I’m being honest, one thing I sometimes think about is not experiencing what it’s like to play for Manchester United.”
“I spent my whole career at Liverpool and I’m proud of that — it means everything to me. But as a footballer, you always wonder about different challenges.”
“Manchester United, the history, the pressure, the expectation to win every week… it’s a different level.”
“Playing at Old Trafford as an opponent, you could feel it — the atmosphere, the demand, the mentality.”
“Sometimes you think, what would it have been like to be on that side, to experience that environment every week?”
“No regrets in terms of my loyalty — but as a footballer, that’s one curiosity that stays with you.”

I’ve often used the Samudra Manthan as a metaphor that is invaluable in business and policy-making.
Because whenever you churn deeply, whether in society, business, or within yourself, the first thing that often surfaces is toxicity.
The Amrit comes later.
When facing turbulence,
Strength comes not from spreading the toxicity.
But from containing it.
When poison rose from the ocean, Lord Shiva did not react in anger.
He absorbed & held it.
May we all cultivate stillness, resilience and the courage to transform.
Best wishes to you all on the auspicious occasion of #MahaShivratri2026
