India's ascent to the top spot in Tests

The wait is over...

Today's Newspaper confirmed that INDIA is the Top team in Test cricket as per ICC standing.
This bunch of cricketers made history and achieved what could not be achieved by their predecessors. Dhoni after getting the top job, now holds the record for not losing a game in 10 matches he had captained...

One interesting note here. This is what I observed during the presentation ceremony after wining the test series.

Presentation is on and the chief guest hands over the Trophy to Dhoni..

Dhoni calls the team to come and pose for the Photo as it is now a custom to do so....

So till then all is usual.......here comes the differentiator

Dhoni hands over the Trophy to Pragyan Ojha...the new comer in he team and the debutant in this series..Ojha takes the trophy in his hands and sees the coveted trophy unable to believe that it has been given to him...

This act is sure to add to the confidence of the young Ojha , who was made to look important by his captain and also the honour of holding the coveted cup for the Photo. We will not be able to spot Dhoni in the photo flashed in the newspapers the next day as he choose to take back seat....

Truly this is a different captain we have got.

Winning your boss

As I was observing on the Process of Appraisals that were going on in my new Organisation, it brought about the subjectivity that is present in the system. The only way to come out in flying colors is, be a pet to your Boss and reap rich dividends. Though the companies claim about the various thought process that has been put forward in designing the appraisal system, it all boils down to the previous line you just read. I know a guy who always came out with the best score possible during the appraisal not because he did a great job but for his attitude to tasks given by his Boss. I do not claim that he is a person who just thrives because of the "pet" tag , though he does pretty decent job. But if you consider his peers who do the same "decent" job, they somehow end up lower than him. WHY ? Again it is how he presents himself to the boss...Watch below some of his action. Never disputes the idea told by the Boss. Can always spot some think good in the Worst of ...

Defending Siachin....

Defending Siachin Glacier #Indianairforce This hotstar video documentary is a classic to show how the Indian airforce guards in extreme of weather conditions the Siachen glacier the highest army check point at 22,000. ft. above ground level in freezing cold. Put under extreme of climatic conditons at -50 C the Jawans brave the spine-chilling cold to guard the border ably supported by the IAF for their daily supplies. Watch the ancedotes from the lady helicopter pilot Sqd Leader Kushboo Gupta and the other Glacier caption. Glacier captain is the title given to the pilots who manouver the helicopter in the glacier zones to reach the army posts. The daily challenges and the sacrifices made by Indian army is really inspiring. Adding to this is the magnetic voice of Kabir Bedi as the narrator in the entire video takes it to the next level. Every Indian should not miss this. Jai Hind !! Check out Extreme Flight: The Indian Air Force on Hotstar! https://www.hotstar.com/1000228...

Ghasi - Hollywood Class

Film Ghassi was another film which really is a class apart from the run-of-a-mill movies. The entire film is shot within a Submarine and the plot is the Indo-Pak war under water in 1971. Viewer watch with bated breath as the story takes you through one sequence of attack after another. Its based on real incidents with how the Indian submarine inspite of losing its captain ,still fought valiantly. This is once in a blue moon kind of movie and matches the class of Hollywood mo vies frame by frame. Score: 4.25/5...extra credit for just the plot and the storyline.
