Anything I write for you, paji, will never truly capture what I feel or the impact you’ve had on me.
From watching you bat when I was 13 and wondering how someone could bring that kind of energy to the field - to sharing the field with you and realizing no one else possibly can - you’ve not just inspired a generation, you’ve reshaped the mindset of millions.
I know how much Test cricket meant to you, and I hope our generation can carry forward that same fire and commitment.
Thank you for everything.
Happy retirement, @imVkohli paji.
I am fully for Karnataka jobs for Kannadigas. Tired of this Hindi speaking bs in Bengaluru. I feel like an outsider in my own state. In the name of business we have lost our culture. From auto guys to swiggy guys, everyone talks to me in Hindi, even if they are kannadigas.
Bengaluru went from Garden city to IT city to city of Pub culture. Pubs with playing only Hindi songs, instead of them learning Kannada we are being forced to communicate in Hindi. I am fine if we lose businesses over it, we have and will always bounce bank stronger. IT hub came here because it was Bengaluru, not the other way around.
What is the point of having more GDP, if we lost our soul. These real estate mafias have turned the IT hubs filled with soulless buildings. If people can take German exams for German jobs, there should be no issues in taking one for Karnataka as well.
Dear @imVkohli,
Glad to have spoken to you. Like the innings in the Finals, you have anchored Indian batting splendidly. You’ve shone in all forms of the game. T20 Cricket will miss you but I am confident you’ll continue to motivate the new generation of players.
