Don't you just love this game? Tightening guts, beautiful centre courts, energetic ball boys and girls, fit-as-fiddle players and enthralled audiences. 
Welcome to the local tennis tournament, with much fan fare, spring-in-their-feet kids and equally ping-pongy parents. Tennis doesn't feature in the top 10 sporting careers in India, but boy, has it grown in acceptance. 
Local tennis tournaments look easy on the onset, however have a lot of preparation and ground work to be done. It needs tightly sewn team work, proper scheduling of rosters and much more. 
Beyond just preparations, it needs the right stakeholders to be a part of the action, backstage and on-the-ground too! Each and every individual plays an important role, in making the event see the day of light, no matter how trivial it may seem. 
The right gear, locker rooms, Dunlop/Cosco tennis balls, nets, umpire chairs, towels, head bands, wrist gears and lots more. Also, it is quintessential to take the buy-in of senior officials, who are the backbone of communication between local administrators and international bodies. 
Within the rules of the game, lay the true emphasis of fair play and unearthing of champions.
Don't forget the food vendors, game stalls, medical kits, promotional hot air balloons and a funny mascot. The kids just adore clicking photos and jumping around it!And yes, the bouncy trampoline style air palaces - makes the kids go bananas!
So, if the fun-n-frolic can begin, do we concentrate on the game? Definitely, the chest thumping, action packed tennis is bound to leave us all speechless! 
Backhand, Forehand, Lob, Rally and Smash. The baseline and half court battles shall begin soon!

Grinding Your Thoughts

Photo on <a href="https://visualhunt.com/re/8dd097">Visualhunt</a> We all have a plethora of thoughts that cloud our minds over many hours of the day. These thoughts could be random, structured and multi tiered, based on the content that defines them. On a regular day, these thoughts could be about routines, tight deadlines and maybe even impending and future goals. What are thoughts? A simple opinion that occurs in the mind, due to deep thinking or possibly through an instant flash. The idea is generally to convince the mind that its worth delving deep into this concept. Educators and industry professionals in general have a very good way of assimilating their thoughts under one basket, using a grinding force in their minds. This 'grinding' isn't your regular stone crushing kinds one becomes acclimatized too, it's the mish-mashing of a plethora of thoughts that goes into keeping the mind ticking! Why should we grind those thou

In regularity, I have always come to believe that #optimism might take us all to the zenith of success, as were strive to find our individuality among the sea of curious humanity. But then, I was brought down to earth when someone told me, pessimism could be your actual bet to a life better lived! When did Pessimism cross the road? A pessimist is someone who you'd befriend on a regular basis. Chances are he/she has a skewed opinion at everything that happens and everything that breathes. The glass is half empty always, with no chance

Cities coming to a standstill, leaders of right wing groups agitating mobs, who pelt stones at average people, just to create a tense situation and leave the social fabric tattered.  I'm not getting into details of why the clashes began, which was unfortunately incited during the celebration, or commiseration of the  Battle of Koregaon , 200 years ago. One section of society calls it their  watershed moment , while the other call it a  loss of sheen moment  for their ancestors.  Such was the difference of opinion between these two sections of society, which
