ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 5 crore children start playing tennis, 50 lakh learn to play tennis, 5 lakh learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?".And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"

Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going.....

What the "F***"!!!

This one is a speech by an Osho Guru :

"F*** is one of the most beautiful words. English language should be proud of it….
I don’t think any other language has any such beautiful word.
One of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word F***. It is a magical word. Just by its sound it can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love.
In language, it falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive—John f***ed Mary—and intransitive—Mary was f***ed by John. And as a noun: Mary is a fine f***!
It can be used as an adjective. Mary is f***ing beautiful. As you can see, there are not many words with the versatility of the word f***! Besides the sexual meaning, there are also the following uses.
“Fraud: I got f***ed at the used car lot!
“Ignorance: F*** if I knew!
“Trouble: I guess I’m f***ed now!
“Aggression: F*** you!
“Displeasure: What the f*** is going on here!
“Difficulty: I can’t understand this f***king job!
“Incompetence: He is a f*** off!
“Suspicion: What the f*** are you doing!
“Enjoyment: I had a f***ing time!
“Request: Get the f*** out of here!
“Hostility: I’m going to knock your f***ing head off!
“Greeting: Who the f*** are you!
“Apathy: Who gives a f***!
“Innovation: Get a bigger f***ing hammer!
“Surprise: F***, you scared the shit out of me!
“Anxiety: Today is really f***ed!
And it is very healthy too. If every morning you do it as a transcendental meditation… just when you get up… the first thing… repeat the mantra, f*** you, five times… it clears the throat… that’s how I keep my throat clear…"

Being Twenty-Something

Maybe we all r going through this "Being Twenty-Something". They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis.” It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

India-Down but not Out

Yee yaa India...aaya India! This is humming inside a billion Indians.Where the whole one billion Indians come, one can easily guess that I am talking of Cricket.A country where cricket is considered to be a religion is nothing less passionate about the cricketers who are the Gods of Indian Cricket.Now that our heros are performing miserably in South Africa with world cup just days away everybody in the country is livid.But is it proper to curse our heros when they need our support the most.The kind of performance put up by our stars at the bouncy pithes in South Africa clearly reemphasizes the dismal fact that the Indians cannot negotiate with sheer pace and bounce.But its not the first time that India is facing such problem.Time and again India has failed to perform on foreign wickets which assist pace and bounce.But still the Indian batting line up is considered the best in the world with the likes of Sachin and Dravid in the side.So is this a rare lean patch that the team is going through or is there some kind of conspiracy going on within the team.Being just a passionate follower I am not in a position to conclude anything except that its not the kind of performace we associate with our cricketers.Not that India have always failed on bouncy tracks.Looking back we can see performaces by India in England(The Headingly Test), the tour of Australia(2003-04) and many others.Questions are being put up against the coaching of Mr. Greg Chappell and captaincy of Mr.Rahul Dravid.In a way both Greg and Rahul are similar in nature hard worker, tough and meticulous.But are these enough to take a team away from the distressful situation and consolidate?Questions will be asked time and again.But its upto the maestros to hit back with answers not by words but by performances.
