Theory of Relativity

Wait a second!!! This is not the Einstein Theory of relativity (E=mc2).

This is my theory. In my view everything in this universe is relative. If one says he is rich.He is actually saying he is richer than some one else in some or other manner. One is never poor but he is always poorer. If a student is intelligent it means his class mates(Students of same age group) are not as intelligent as he his.

Imagine an era where every one has just one car one house and one job of same salary. Now tell me who is rich. Did you say every one. I think you are relating this scenario with your psychology. You are relating it with your knowledge. You are still thinking that there are people who don't have these amenities. So actually you are comparing.

Now if you can leave your definitions lil away for a while and think about another scenario where people have nothing. They are nomadic. They go places in search of food and live happily after getting it. They can sleep any where night falls. Now you are saying they are poor. I don't agree.I think they are as rich as the people of first scenario.

One is brave. That statement is a comparison. It says rest of his companions are not as brave as he is. If any one can go and join Army and confront with enemies or fight with wild animals there is no question who is brave.

One is Nice. It means rest of the people are actually not as nice as he is.One is a good cook.it means there is a possibility of cooking bad food.

I feel there is no adjective as such .There are only comparisons.One is braver than other or is richer or poorer.And I think this comparison is the motivation of doing things. This is the feeling of comparison which drives one towards betterment.

From child hood we always learn to do better and better and be in a better situation.This is the impetus to go on.

Team Effort won us World Cup 1983

Its been 25 years since we won the world cup in cricket (25th June 1983).
Really appreciate the BCCI for felicitating and honouring the heroes.For the first time I got a chance to see all of them together in a team.(As I was just two when they played :) )

They were sharing the memories and precious moments of their life. While watching them I realised how good they gel as a team.Each of them were showering the praises for their team partners and captain (Kapil Dev). Then the captain Kapil Dev made a speech and praised each one of his scouts. His speech showed how well acknowledged he was with the abilities of each member.

There could be a little bit rivalry between little master(Sunil Gvaskar) and Kapil Paaji. But no one was leaving behind to sing about others accomplishments. After hearing them about their feelings and intuitions at that time,I felt how these players had huge respect for their team members. They had confidence in each other and their captain. The captain had a full faith in his squad. He was so motivating.Also as we all know he is so simple and down to earth.Just imagine how good the dressing room would be with their high spirits.

I felt a particular kind of dedication in each one of them. A true sports man spirit was there. No one had any attitude.I was thinking about that time when there was not much money involved.Cricketers used to play for their country and for the love of game.There was not much hype not much advertisements.

There was not a good past record of Indian Cricket. But I think, it was the real team spirit and bonding between players which won us the prestigious World Cup. It does not matter how good and world class players we have in the team. What matters is how nicely these players cover for each other. How they cover for others weaknesses and enhance their strengths. IPL winner Rajesthan Royals is an another evidence of team winning over Stars.When one learns to keep the game and team over personal interests no one can stop him/her from winning any game.

Watch the players @
