It was 4th and final test match at Sialkot in   Pakistan in 1989.   After India fought intensely first three Tests, all ending in draws, Pakistan were desperate to win the fourth and final game. Pakistan were hell-bent on winning the final Test and the series. A green fast  and bouncy wicket was prepared to favor their fast bowlers. Giant like Wasim  Akram, Imran Khan, Waqar Younis making the fast attack even more powerful , sharp and destroyer to the opposition team batsman.

The millionaires fastlane : M. J. DeMarco

What is wealth Many people make the mistake that they confuse money with wealth.  But what is wealth? It is easier to become wealthy if you understand  what it means to you,  wealth is nothing but a mixture of health, relevant relationships,  and freedom. Would you consider a person who is in bad shape, lonely and rolling in money a wealthy person?  Having money will not help you in finding good relationships, nor will  it help you to get fit. You can utilize money to gain more freedom because you do not have  to sell your time anymore. If you have money, you own your time. And  owning your time will allow you to exercise and go to parties to find a  life partner. So, money is a means to an end. If you have enough of it, you will have  location independence and are free to use your time to your heart’s  content. Barriers to become wealthy A good education costs a lot of money and will probably put you or your pa...

Your ability to fight back will decide your destiny

A 24 year old girl traveling on the general compartment of the Padmavat Express on the way to Delhi to get her date of birth to rectify on call letter. Being a single female traveller, criminals/thug who are already in the train thought her as an easy prey, gathered around her and started pulling the gold chain which is gifted by her mother on that day only. As she refused to hand the chain over, they started coming at the girl one at a time. She kicked punched and fought as best as she could. For a brief moment, it even seems that the girl had the upper hand. The compartment was full of people, but no one came to rescue of a girl being robbed and attacked. Since they couldn’t take her on one at a time, each grabbed a limb and hauled her out of the train. The force threw her onto the opposite tracks and what happened thereafter took a matter of seconds. Before she could move her left leg off the track, a train went over it.  After this 49 trains had passed over that girl,...

Michael Jordan (born February 17, 1963) is a professional American basketball player, Olympic athlete, businessperson and actor. Considered one of the best basketball players ever, Michael Jordan dominated the sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. He led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association championships and earned the NBA's Most Valuable Player Award five times. With five regular-season MVPs and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA. He had four brothers and his father's wages were not sufficient to provide for the whole family. He grew up in a poor neighborhood which was full of discrimination, to the point where he could not see any hope for the future. When he was 13 years old, his father gave him a piece of used clothing and asked: "What do you think the value of this outfit would be?" Jordan replied, "Maybe one dollar." His father asked, "Can you sell it for two dollars?...
