Intoxicated by Possibility?!

“More than a year back four guys found an idea that they crazily fell in love with. They thought, they talked and they failed. But these folks believed in happy endings. So they took it from there, picked themselves up and started the process again- they thought, they talked and this time they are on their way. Destination is a long way away, but the journey has began nevertheless.”

Keerthi Kiran said this on YOFA; which brought them to GrassRoutes

my friend said ……..

A new beginning the shadows depart
A cocktail of dreams, the songs of the heart
A wish is born, the melodies soar high
A lifetime of hope, a glisten in the sky.

With shimmering images and laughs of the past,
With strums of guitar, the memories last,
With mirth unbound, as the days go by
the pen stops, the heart flutters, eyes to the sky.

A gleaming star lives inside all of us,
A wave of exploria sweeps through, thus
as the smiles grow brighter
as the arms spread wider
lift up your face, feel the zephyr.

Bindra bana Baadshah

Though this is the stupid tagline that every news channel is broadcasting with immense zeal, the fact remains that indians have been made proud with their first gold medal in 28 years. The 25 year old businessman from chandigarh boosted up his rank from 4th in the finals to the gold medal. No matter how corny or cliched it may sound but seeing that flag hailed above china’s and finland’s flag warms the heart.

This space goes out to every sportsman that aspires this greatness…
