"The wheel of life moves on. It is overwhelmed by decrepitude and grief, and it has diseases and calamities for its progeny. That wheel relates in time and place. Day and night are the rotations of that wheel. It is characterised by production and destruction going on ceaselessly. When one’s time comes, one cannot escape. There is none dear or hateful to time. Youth, beauty, life, possessions, health and the companionship of friends, all are unstable."  -The Mahabharata, Santi Parva

Man of The Match
Few things excite men as much as sports. It’s isn’t just a game, it becomes a passion, where the pursuit of a momentary victory exceeds the routine daily tasks. Anyone can play the game, but not anyone can win.The winning edge can often depend on one man who stands, while everything else falls apart. He overcomes pressure and his fears within to lift his team to victory and become the “Man of the Match”.


Joke : An elderly couple had memory problems and so went to see the doctor. After examining them boththe doctor said, "Well, the memory loss is caused by old age. One way to manage your memory
problems is to write down everything. That way you won't forget things."
The couple thanked him and returned home.
That evening while they were watching TV the woman asked her husband to bring her some
ice-cream from the kitchen.The man stood up and walked towards the kitchen. His wife said, "Hey, write it down like the doctor said."
He replied, "What? Write down ice-cream? I won't forget that." Then he went into the kitchen.
Ten minutes later he returned from the kitchen with a plate of fried eggs and toast.
The woman took one look at the plate and said, "I told you to write it down. Now you've made me
the wrong thing. I asked for a cheese sandwich!"
