Yashasvi Jaiswal, the unsung hero, IPL

 

How lucky, Yashasvi Jaiswal! Just 19 years old. Comes from a poor background. Slept in a tent on a cricket field, sold Paani Puri, and dreamt about playing for India.

Wish with my whole heart that he plays for India. But what a debut! Debuts today and playing along with him is Steve Smith, one of the Fab four.

Behind him keeping stumps is Dhoni, a cricketing legend. And very soon he will be up against Virat Kholi, Kane Williamson the other two of the Fab four. The only person that he will not be playing against among the Fab four is Joe Root.

And he will be rubbing shoulders with Ben Stokes, Robin Uttappa, Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer in his own dressing room.

IPL's beauty is not the glamour or fast cricket, it is about allowing young cricketers to play with and against some of the greatest players who have graced cricket in the last twenty years. He will see in blood cricket legends like Chris Gayle and Russel Arnold.

Go ahead and enjoy yourself, Yashasvi Jaiswal. You have been given admission to learn from the Harward University of cricket. Learn and learn well. The lessons that you will learn will be useful in your career.

Necessity is the mother of invention - Marketing

 

Always felt that necessity and fire in the belly are the best indicators for learning!

Went to the vegetable shop in the morning and was picking up vegetables. Suddenly the next shop's owner (a kirana shop) came up to the vegetable vendor.

In his hand was a small plastic bag. With. Twinkle in his eyes he said to the vegetable vendor "your five year old son put these brinjals in this bag and came to my shop. He wanted me to take this bag and give him some chocolates".

Everyone present there was stunned. A five year old understanding, learning and trying to barter and learn the tricks of the trade.

I salute the small shops of the India, which are helping us in this pandemic. God bless and may you thrive and flourish!
