Every time you go through a set back in life; you tend to question yourself why god is punishing us ? WHY ME?

But little do we know that how god shapes us in tough times . The whole process of introspection allows you to experience an inner spiritual journey that makes you a stronger person. Whatever obstacle you are facing now will make you realize where you went wrong in the past. And how can you formulate a new approach to achieve your goal in the future.

Do you remember the times when your father tried to discipline you by being strict with you? How rebellious you would have got during that time? But the point is why your loved ones would discipline you with their harsh behavior. Obviously, they don’t want you to just punish you for the sake of punishing; they do it for your own good; which you can only realize in hind sight.

In the same way god is not punishing us in our tough times; instead god is making us realize how we can correct our past and the present. In demanding times it’s a human nature to complain to god as to why they are suffering ? Only in bad times we come closer to god and talk to god about why everything is falling apart?

Have you ever discovered a new side to you whenever you are going through difficult times? You should feel blessed by god if you go through trials and tribulations, because only during your fall you will learn how to rise again. Try to learn how you can transform the challenging times into a glory. It’s when we triumph during the time of adversity then only we realize that we stood out against all odds.

Just believe in yourself . Try to help others even when you are down on your luck. The sense of blessing from others will make you feel stronger as a person. It will give you an immense sense of satisfaction that you have a thought of helping others even when you yourself are going through testing times.

Sachin Tendulkar adds one more page to a glittering career . As Sachin Tendulkar sets a world record of scoring the first ever double century in One day cricket ; he dismisses any prospects of resigning from cricket A breathtaking 200 runs by Sachin Tendulkar against South Africa made the spectators bow down once again on their knees showing the much deserved respect for India’s most powerful batsman , the pride of every Indian, the hope of every man’s struggle to thrive to achieve their goals. He is a living example of proving that there is no age bar in the field of sports.

Whenever you watch Sachin Tendulkar play you go through a great emotion of belonging, as if he is a family member!! I know it sounds outrageous but I have never felt like this for any other cricketer. More than anything else you require the modesty and the right kind of approach with which you play the game, even at 37 years of age he still remains the king of Cricket . It was a treat to watch Sachin Tendulkar to become the first man in the ODI history to attain a double century ; leaving the world’s best bowlers look up to the sky with a sense of helplessness.

No matter for how many years he has played cricket but even now his zeal to score more and more runs is as swift as it was years ago. By far he remains the god like figure for “We The Indians”. After completing his dazzling power packed performance in Gwlaior he dedicated the record to all the Indians who stood by him in his ups and downs.

It’s not just his outstanding records which he has attained over and over again, it’s the kind of image he has formed since the very day he made his debut in 1989. Every single Indian looks up to him with a great sense of inspiration. I am sure Sachin Tendulkar will keep on delivering the best of best performances in the coming years; leaving the spectators hopping for more!

Today I am going to share my views on a controversial topic “Should there be a death penalty for mentally retarded people ”?

- What’s a point in levying the most dreadful punishment on some one who can’t even comprehend what exactly “Death Punishment ” means?

There are a few questions that comes to my mind

- Can a retarded person even help his lawyer in defending him? He must not be in a state of mind to recall the incidents. Moreover, he won’t realize that in which circumstances incidents occurred.

- Why does the court levy extreme punishments? The only reason I find it is that the court creates fear in the minds of the criminals before they commit any serious crime. But do we really think that a person who doesn’t have the right state of mind can actually comprehend the consequences of his actions?

- Without any second thoughts I do believe in the safety of “We the people”. Therefore, it’s obvious that mentally retarded people who can pose a threat to the society be detained.

- Moreover, mentally retarded people are not able to understand the complicated court proceedings. They even find it hard to cope up with the vigorous court sessions that are quite demanding even for a normal person. That’s why people often loose their temper.

- There should be a special team of people who handle cases of mentally retarded people as they are quite vulnerable in nature.

It’s quite preposterous when “we the people” try to peep inside the celebrities’ personal life. Recent outbreak of John Terry’s personal life disclosure where he betrayed his wife by having sex with some xyz girl!!!!

Why do we forget that the only factor that counts in the game is how the player play. So let’s not mix the whole business of performance at the pitch with his personal life outbreak. Chelsea supporters are not affected by the whole hush and gush that has been twisted out of the proportion about John Terry. I look up to John Terry not because he is handsome or whether he is faithful to his wife or not. At the same time I know what John Terry’s Wife and family must be going through it’s not easy.

Needless to say, the media has got spicy news where they can make hell lot of business by giving their judgment about John Terry’s character. I know for a fact that the media will stretch this for some more days but at last it will vanish like Tiger Woods extra marital affairs . This can be dragged to any extent but it doesn’t really affect football fans, provided he remains committed and proves his potential at the field.

It’s completely ridiculous on how we expect our heroes to be totally flawless. I like John Terry just because of one and the only reason. i.e – because he is the captain of Chelsea and his incredible performance makes a difference to Chelsea . I won’t give a shit if Fabio Capello or Carlo Ancellotti kicks John Terry out of the team the day he stops performing.

Go John Terry go – who the fuck are Man United?

I don’t really bother to read love stories, but today I had some free time in hand so came across this lovely love story that will touch your heart

A girl in love asked her boyfriend..

Girl: Tell me… who do you love most in this world?

Boy: You, of course!

Girl: In your heart, what am I to you?

Boy: The boy thought for a moment and looked intensly in her eyes and
said, "You are my rib. In the Bible, it was said that God saw that
Adam was lonely, during his sleep; God took one of Adam’s rib and
created Eve. Every man has been searching for his missing rib, only
when you find the woman of your life; you’ll no longer feel the
lingering ache in your heart."

After their wedding, the couple had a sweet and happy life for a while.
However, the youthful couple began to drift apart due to the busy
schedule of life and the never-ending worries of daily problems…
their life became mundane. All the challenges posed by the harsh
realities of life began to gnaw away their dreams and love for each
other…

The couple began to have more quarrels and each quarrel became more
heated.

One day, after the quarrel, the girl ran out of the house…. At the
opposite side of the road, she shouted, "You don’t love me!" The boy
hated her hildishness and out of impulse, retorted, "Maybe, it was a
mistake for us to be together! You were never my missing rib!"

Suddenly, she turned quiet and stood there for a long while…. He
regretted what he said but words spoken are like thrown away water, you
can never take it back. With tears, she went home to pack her things
and was determined in breaking-up.

Before she left the house, "If I’m really not your missing rib, please
let me go…..

She continued, "It is less painful this way…let us go on our separate
ways and search for our own partners…"

Five years went by…. He never remarried but he had tried to find out
about her life indirectly…… She had left the country and back….
She had married a foreigner and divorced….. He felt anguished that
she never waited for him.

In the dark and lonely night, he lit his cigarette and felt the
lingering ache in his heart. He couldn’t bring himself to admit that
he was missing her.

One day, they finally met…. At the airport, a place where there were
many reunions and good-byes…. He was going away on a business trip.
She was standing there alone, with just the security door separating
them. She smiled at him gently.

Boy): How are you?

Girl): I’m fine. How about you… Have you found your missing rib?

Boy): No.

Girl): I’ll be flying to New York in the next flight.

Boy): I’ll be back in 2 weeks time. Give me a call when you are back…
You know my number… Nothing has changed.

With a smile, she turned around and waved good-bye.. "Good-bye." One
week later, he heard of her death. She had perished in New York. In
the event that shocked the world.. Midnight…..

Once again, he lit his cigarette….. And like before,he felt the
lingering ache in
his heart…. He finally knew, she was the missing rib that he had
carelessly broken.

Sometimes, people say things out of moments of fury….. Most often
than not, the outcome could be disastrous and detrimental…. We went
our frustrations 99% at our loved ones…. And even though we know
that we ought to "think twice and act wisely", it’s often easier said
than done.

Things happen each day, many of which are beyond our control. Let us
treasure every
moment and everyone in our lives. Tomorrow may never come; give and
accept what you have today………
