यूँ तो हम इकिस्वि सदी के "मॉडर्न" लोग हैं| मगर इस मॉडर्न अथवा आधुनिक मनुष्य की सोच किसी आदिकाल के आदिमानव से कम नही | जहाँ एक तरफ देश व दुनिया प्रगति के मार्ग पर है, वही दूसरी तरफ कुछ पितृसत्ता से प्रभावित लोग औरतों को किसी वस्तु के साथ तौलने से नही कतराते |   यह सब सहसा शुरु हुआ  उसने उसकी आँखों में देखा पलके झुकाई, ज़रा मुस्कुराइ,  फिर ज़रा शर्माई ||  प्यार का सफर, उन्होंने संग किया तय  आशा थी की वे आनंद के आकाश में ऊँचे उड़ चले,  प्यार की नदी को खुशियो की तैराकी से पार करे,  एक दूसरे के लिए बारिश में धूप ले आये,  दर्द के काँटों में फूल की बरसात कर पाए||  तूने ये छोटे कपड़े क्यू पहने है,  ये फोन में नंबर किसका है,  इधर मत जाना, उससे बात मत करना,  ए आईना बता इसे, इसका तराजू में क्या तौल है, क्या ये बहुत मोटी है, या कुछ ज्यादा ही तिनके के समान है,  स्नेह जैसे पावन भाव को, उसने तो जिस्म से आंक लिया उस गहरे समुद्र का पानी , फिर छलक के बाहर गिरा,  वह तो चिड़िया थी खुले आसमां की,  बंदिशों मे कहाँ आने वाली थी,  बिना पंख फैलाये,  उन्हे समेटने कहाँ वाली थी,  औरते तो होती

The biggest cricket carnival across the globe has grown significantly in the past 15 years. Who would have thought that the players will miss the opportunity to play international matches for their respective countries and will choose IPL over it? Whether it be the money factor, the stars packed teams or the pro- active franchises with another level of crazy fans, this grand league has firmed its roots and will only further grow upwards and onwards from the present position. The way IPL has ambushed other major leagues in the world is simply commendable. Throwing the light on the financial model, the growth numbers are just astonishing. Take an example of KKR team whose owner is Shahrukh Khan. SRK’S team brand value in the year 2009 was $22 million and it shot up to around $36 million in 2021. The IPL brand, as a whole, saw a growth of a staggering 134 percent since its first season 14 years ago in 2009. Seeing these statistics when the BCCI announced in 2019 ab

Losing away test series by a comparatively weak team of South Africa and then facing whitewash from the same team in the ODI series. That’s what happened with ICT where we lost 2-1 in in the Freedom test series and then 3-0 in the ODI’s. This was only the 5th time that India had been whitewashed in the white ball series. Numbers themselves speak the present position of a team which last year claimed that they have the capability and resources to play as 2 different teams simultaneously and even winning on the foreign pitches is now struggling to win a match with a full-strength side excluding Rohit Sharma. On 31st Dec,2021 the whole team was on the 7th cloud when we won the first test match and more over, we won for the first time in Centurion. So, this time was seen as the best opportunity to win a test series in South Africa but we were not able to because of the simple fact that the Proteas played and understood the conditions better than us and completely ou

Just two wins away from breaking Steve Waugh’s record of number of test wins and suddenly on January 15th,2022 Virat Kohli tweets in the evening that he is stepping down as the Indian Test Captain. His decision sent shockwaves across the cricket fraternity and the assumptions were being made that this decision is a result of the loss in the Freedom Series against South Africa. But those who have seen him over the years knew it was not a spurt decision but rather a completely planned one and we have seen this before. Year- 2014, Indian tour of Australia, after the second test MS DHONI (then the captain in charge) comes out in the press conference and just says “I am done” and quits the test cricket leaving the tour in middle and the captaincy was given in the hands of young, inexperienced Virat Kohli. Irony here is Australia is the same country where Kohli had faced several charges and bashings due to his inappropriate gestures to the crowd (when the crowed sledged him) and

लाखों युवा की  प्रेरणा, अनेकों के मार्गदर्शक हैं वो, नवीन सोच के स्रोत, कलाम है वो || पतंग उड़ाने से मिसाइल तक किस्सा सपने सच करने के हूनर का है मिसायममैन कहे जाने से पहले का संघर्ष और सफलता के बाद की उनकी सादगी  हाँ, इन्ही मोतियों से पिरोया है कलाम ने अपना जीवन  साइंस से लेकर सपनो तक एक ही व्याख्या कलाम ने संवारा देश ये हमारा || खूब जानने की जिज्ञासा थी कलाम की,  इसी ने आगे चलकर विज्ञान को नई दिशा दी | एक सहज सवाल आया इस कक्षा पांचवी के विद्यार्थी को,  शिक्षक सुब्रमण्यम ऐयेर से पूछ बैठे- " चिड़िया कैसे उड़ती है?" जब मिला सवाल का जवाब तो मानो मिल गया हो उन मासूम आँखों को एक नवीन स्वप्न |  सात भाई-बहनो में थे सबसे दुलारे,  पढ़ते बहुत थे ये कलाम न्यारे | पर घर की हालत थी मानो ऐसी ,  दो वक़्त खाना - खाने की चिंता सदा थी रहती |  पढाई जारी रखी और घर में आमदनी की भी सोची साईकल से बेचते थे अखबार,   और उन अखबारों को पढ़कर प्राप्त करते थे ज्ञान |  थकान को कभी सपनो के आड़े नही दिया आने,  सुबह चार बचे उठकर, रात को ग्यारह बजे तक थे पढ़ते | हाँ उसी लैंप से ... जो उनकी माँ ने द

W hat if is I say that the first choice captain of you national team is out, your A team is injured and even your B team is not completely fit, team is on the overseas tour where you are already being historically humiliated. Too much unfavorable events at the same time right? After all this if you would ask a normal person about the series prediction or result it will not be so difficult to comprehend.   But this tour and the whole series was completely magical, similar to a fairytale where all the odds were defied, where the limited resources became the specialists and an unexpected result came out. This was the India’s greatest ever comeback…… To start with the Indian Captain Virat Kohli before the tour already announced that he would return to India after the first test at Adelaide because of the personal reasons to which everyone was prepared but not for the event that was going to happen with them. So it was the day night test, India was leading after the first inning

Teenage is the stage of massive hormonal changes and numerous neurochemical  reactions - the biochemical process for your adolescence. The hormonal flux can result in mood swings, a different aura, tensions and admirations. Along with this, teenage  brings to us troubled skin and  social connections. Both boys and girls get extremely sensitive and often end up reacting to stuff in an undesirable manner.

Alongside, Yoga helps to increase our flexibility, core strength, manage stress, stay happy and adds a new ray of positive energy in oneself.  Real Meaning of Yoga: The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root word ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite’.  Yoga basically is an art and science of healthy living. It is said that yoga began in India and has been around for about 5,000 years i
