Characters of the P Company: Kitty

Considering there is a hero in every story,

There is bound to be a heroine,

Fondly referred to by BM or SK as Kitty,

Not because he is truly and madly in love with her,

But simply because SK used to play a game in his childhood, kitty kitty come come!

Where kids would line up bending to touch their respective feet,

And a person from the other team would come running from behind and jump on the last person in the queue,

Aim being to make the members of the team bending to fall flat,

As strange the game might sound,

Stranger was SK speaking fondly about the same.

Kitty, a simple, traditional to the core girl,

Would love SK to sweep her off her feet,

Yet, the ball seems to be in no court as of now,

Waiting to be hit for all the right reasons,

Stuck in her own world filled with confusion,

She eagerly waits for her destiny to unfold.

Game Set Match!

I wonder what’s next!

With Djokovic winning his 21st title,

and

not being allowed to play in the US open,

a different debate altogether revolving around vaccination,

and

with the likes of Nadal injured and Federer planning to retire,

For the people of my generation and tennis lovers in general,

Is there something to look forward to?

A player whom we can look forward to watching,

Not many seem to be coming up the ranks,

few exceptions being Sinner, Fritz;

With the kind of standards and benchmark set by the Big 3,

Would be hard to create something,

which comes close to recreating the Golden Era!

Wonder,

whether the men’s game will have a similar fate as the women’s?

whether it’s game set match for the very game!

Small yet Great!

What better way to begin my morning than by seeing a very inspiring video that one of my friends happened to send me last night! I am sure many of you have already seen the same.

The video that I am talking about is of Novak Djokovic, the tennis player from Serbia, where he allows one of the ball boys to share the same seat as his, at a time when the match got stalled due to rain and offers him his racquet along with a drink. kind

Such small gestures speak a volume about the kind of person he is. Everyone knows that he is a celebrity in the sporting world, but to demonstrate such a humble nature is indeed one of the traits that every successful person should learn from the man.

Now, success is such a relative concept. A rickshaw puller is more successful than say a beggar. A shopkeeper is more successful than a rickshaw puller and so on. How wonderful it would be if every relatively successful person becomes kind and humble towards the next person below him in this chain.

Don’t you think it would lead to increased cumulative happiness quotient in this world? Don’t you think the kind of street fights/rage we have over small traffic incidents will come to a halt? Don’t you think the world would become a kinder place to live in? Don’t you think we all would become better individuals if we are able to imbibe this little yet huge thing in our demeanor?humble

Certainly it would lead to a better world and indeed we would be able to provide a better future for generations to come. I guess that’s what sustainable living is all about.

So, guys out there. What are you all waiting for? Let’s start this from today itself. The next person you meet in this chain below yourself, do remember this post of mine and do remember to experience the wonderful feeling after you end up doing good deeds in life.
