– Why did the BCCI reject UDRS initially?
– Cricket should learn from tennis on the benefits of using technology (prudently) to enhance the game, both for the players & the fans. – A future-oriented/farsighted policy
– Ethical & aesthetic think-tank

State of the states (India Today)

Via India Today

– Cooperative federalism
– Reliable barometer
– e-governance and law-&-order
– Gold standard
– Distinguish:
Best performing
&
Most improved
The hare & the tortoise
– Competitive collaboration
– GOD BLESS each & every state of my country!
– If Modi can deliver as PM, then all his sins in Gujarat (especially the 2002 riots) will/can be forgiven…?

“Brooklyn” movie review (3.5/5 – hit)

Beautiful film.

I was disappointed & angered by her hesitation and double-mindedness about returning to the USA! It was only when her ego was offended by intimidation, that she boldly came out as a married woman whose primary loyalty lay elsewhere…

Being frank & straightforward, instead of scheming your way out of things – a typical female trait (vice)??

The innocent victim-mother is also a selfish and manipulative woman!?

The only saints in the movie seem to be the elder (dead) sister and the Italian lover boy…

Most of today’s church (contemporary English) worship-services are as yawn-worthy as the Latin mass!

What defines ‘home’??
Is it possible that where you belong (spiritually) may not be where you are most comfortable (psychologically)?

I DON’T believe that aged parents are the responsibility of their adult/married children!
Roots –> wings –> NEW (transplanted) roots

The Good Life
Vs.
The American Dream

Last ship travel – the narrative has come full circle! Well done, lassy! Keep it up.

Verse of the Day

“The person who hears the reproof that leads to life is at home among the wise. The one who refuses correction despises himself, but whoever hears reproof acquires understanding.” 
Proverbs 15:31‭-‬32 NET

Ear >> mind >> heart

Vital instructions for the mentor & the student. Only a student can be a mentor. Should all mentors also be mentees? 

Self-esteem must be shown in self-development, otherwise it is fake! Just like faith without works is dead. . . 

Do you love (receiving & giving) negative feedback/constructive criticism?

Show me your friends, and I will show you who you really are. Caliber/quality/substance

The spiritual marketplace is open for shopping, folks! What are the pros & cons of such a tool??

Maybe the truth is hidden/lost in all the noises, like a needle in a haystack….? We desperately need a magnet!

Technology helps ONLY when solid spiritual/theological quality is ALREADY available. . . ?
