When we talk about love, we talk about a feeling, a sensation that makes us feel special and helps us to know our importance. It is something that gives us chills in the middle of night but love is not always beautiful.

If it can give you chills in the idle of night, it is completely able to give you nights with a lot of pain with no one to support you. If it makes you feel complete, it can also make you feel empty.

That’s how love is, like everything else, having 2 sides of the coin. Yet, it is unique.

Let us have a look at some of the most romantic quotes that have even been written by someone who is or has been in love:

1) “I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

2) “Oh I wouldn’t mind Hazel Grace. It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.”
― John Green, Fault in our stars

3) “There is no pretending,” Jace said with absolute clarity. “I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I’ll love you then.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

4) “I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Blue-Eyed Devil

5) “I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.”
― Shana Abe

6) “The very essence of romance is uncertainty.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays

7) “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
― John Green, Fault in our stars

8) “And in her smile I see something more beautiful than the stars.”
— Across the Universe by Beth Revis

9) “I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.”
— Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

10) “I love you. Remember. They cannot take it”
— Delirium by Lauren Oliver

It was the Border Gavaskar trophy of 2014-15. After already losing the test series in the first three matches, team India was tattered and down and the major announcement was yet to come.

MS Dhoni, announced a sudden retirement with a match to go in the series. All this was bound to bring the team’s morale to a new low. But a boy stepped up, Virat Kohli, now a man and the most successful test captain around the globe.

In his first ever test match as captain Virat went after a highly unlikely chase. Although India ended up losing that match but it was the sign of the things to follow.

Here are the 5 things that prove Virat Kohli is the best test Captain India ever had:

1) The truckloads of achievement no one has ever had before.

He also is the only Indian captain to lift the test mace for three years in a row. Defeating Australia in Australian and becoming the first captain to whitewash South Africa are just some more feathers to add to Virat Kohli’s legacy.

2) The aggressive approach of Virat Kohli.

Source

Among all the Indian captains Virat has enforced the follow on most no. of times (8). This style of captaincy ensures that the opposition is under pressure all the times and the team already has a mental edge over their opponents.

3) Leading from the front with the bat.

Source

He also has scores of 150+ in Australia, South Africa and England.

4) The emergence of pacers under Virat Kohli.

Source

Virat has always backed his Pacers, not only overseas but also in home conditions. Indian Pacers have always out bowled their counterparts.

The growth of pacers under Virat Kohli has paved way for team India to go and win overseas.

5) The big and thriving victories.

Source

This reflects in team India’s humongous victories as the lowest margin by which they have won at home is 75 runs. See for recent example the victories over SA.

Look at the other captains in world cricket, Faf Du Plessis, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, Tim Paine. Virat really stands among them.

Team India has stayed on the top of the world test rankings for quite some time now and due credit must be given to Virat Kohli for taking India to such big heights not only as a batsman but also as a leader.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has provided a great platform to the Indian young cricketers, not just in terms of earnings but also in regard to the chances of getting exposure of International level. It is true that not everyone will get the chance of playing at International level but these domestic players get to play with Indian as well as foreign international cricketers in the tournament which is highly beneficial for their game. The players in the IPL are selected through auctions and the bid for a cricketer that is made by franchise depends a lot on the talent and skills of the player.

Let us tell you about some of those cricketers for whom many franchise placed bids and they were bought for an exorbitant amount:

1. Yuvraj Singh:

In the year 2015, Yuvraj was not in a good form but due to his big stature, reputation and experience, all the franchises wanted him in their team. Four IPL franchises – Rajasthan Royals (RR), Delhi Daredevils now Delhi Capitals (DC), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) competed heavily to get the left-hander in their squad. In the end, it was the Delhi team which bought Yuvraj Singh for a whopping amount of Rs. 16 crore.

2. Rashid Khan:

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bought Rashid Khan in 2017 despite the fact that he was just an 18 years old youngster and paid Rs. 4 crore for him. He justified his selection but still he was not retained the next time and then two IPL franchises, KKIP and RR were quite eager to have him in their team. The bidding war intensified when Delhi also started bidding for Rashid. However, when Rashid’s price reached Rs. 7 crore, the RCB also joined the party and it was Punjab which bought the player for Rs. 9 crore. In the end, SRH decided to use their Right to Match Card and Rashid was the second highest wicket taker in that season.

3. Ben Stokes:

Ben Stokes is one of the best players of all the three formats and in the year 2017, he was the costliest player of IPL. Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) bought Ben Stokes for a huge price of Rs. 14.5 crore and he went on to score 316 runs in 12 matches including a fiery knock of 103 in 63 balls against Gujarat Lions and also took 12 wickets. There were four other teams who wanted him – Daredevils, SRH, RCB and Mumbai Indians (MI). Next year, Ben was bought by RR for Rs. 12.5 crore.

4. Shimron Hetmyer:

The Caribbean player was in great form in 2018 so he was in high demand during the auctions of IPL 2019.  Despite the fact that his base price was just Rs. 50 lakhs, he was bought by RCB for Rs. 4.2 crore. However, it was not just RCB that wanted Shimron in the squad, four other franchises – RR, SRH, DC and KXIP also placed bid for him. Shimron didn’t perform as per the expectations and scored total 90 runs in five matches.

5. MS Dhoni:

Lastly, we will talk about one of the most successful captains and a great player MS Dhoni. India won the T20 World Cup in 2007 under his leadership so it was quite obvious that all the eight franchises wanted him in their team in IPL 2008 but it was Chennai Super Kings (CSK) which got success. CSK spent a huge amount of Rs 10 crore approximately (USD 1.5 million) for getting Dhoni and since then he has always been a part of the team. Dhoni has averaged 42.20 with 4,432 runs in 190 matches and CSK has won the title three times under his guidance.

Let us have a look at some of these tricks/hacks which might help us to know someone better or to manipulate them:

1) Nodding Clue.

If you want someone to answer your question in affirmation, always nod while asking the question. The person’s mind will interpret the action and he/she will immediately say YES in reply.

2) How to make someone quiet?

While in a formal gathering, when you know someone is going to rage out on you, always sit next to that person.
If you sit next to them, then that will have to lower their voice plus there will be no direct face contact.

When they talk, watch their body language, after everything they say they will try and take approval from their eyes whether you have accepted their lie or not.

Plus they will use their body a lot less while lying.

5) Want a more satisfactory answer from someone?

You feel like someone is not telling you the full information?

Well, keep quiet and maintain eye contact with them, their mind will eventually force them to talk more and they will tell you everything they know about.

Always show confidence through your body posture. Sitting with legs open gives an indication that you are more open to having a conversation.

If you are not very confident always mirror someone else’s body action and you will be fine.

7) Use someone’s name more often.

While talking to someone, keep using their name in the conversations. This helps them feel important and valued.

They are bound to have more insightful conversations with you as they will feel you are really interested in them.

8) A good touch.

While talking to someone, you can give them a pat on their shoulders or shake their hand, this makes the person feel warm.

But one should be careful as to not make the touch, a wrong one.

They are most likely to pick the bottom one as is often discovered by various experiments and researches.

Mahabharata is one of the most epic tales of Hindu mythology. We all have at some point of time in our lives, heard about it, watched it and enjoyed it.

It is a story about justice, a story about what’s right and what’s wrong, and a story that shows the importance of relations in one’s life and how bad things can get when we lose control of our mind.

Mahabharata had in it a whole lot of teaching and life lessons which are most prevalent in today’s world. So let us have a look at some of these life lessons which we can adopt so as to make ourselves a better version of what we are now.

1) The influence of good and bad company.

Kauravas had the influence of Shakuni Mama on them, an influence which led them to hatred and war, an influence which made them who they weren’t.

Whereas Pandavas had with them, the right influence of Krishna, the influence that guided them to victory.
Thus, it is important for us to choose the right influence in life if we wish to succeed.

2) You can be morally right, but if you support the wrong person, you will eventually fail.

That is what we should learn, no matter how good we are, if we are not on the right side of things, then we will definitely fail.

3) Lessons from Chakravyuh.

Abhimanyu, Arjun’s son, showed great courage and strength when he entered the Chakravyuh created by Kauravas in Arjun’s absence. It taught us that no matter how worse the adversities are we should stand up and face them.

But we all know, Abhimanyu couldn’t make it through and that’s another life lesson right there. Sometimes we should not do what we are doing if we are not prepared fully for it.

4) Greed consumes everything.

Gambling was one of the major reasons behind the happening of Mahabharata. It was in the rush of gambling that Pandavas ended up placing their wife for the bet.

They suffered the consequences for the same later. Greed consumes everything.

5) Always have single minded devotion to your goal.

The famous Swayamvar where Arjuna had to hit the fish’s eye to win and was the only one to do that. He was the only one because he saw nothing else, nothing in the background, nothing at the side but the fish’s eye.

That is what teaches us the importance of having a single minded devotion to our goal.

6) Sometimes you have to fight with the people you love, if they are wrong.

Arjuna had to fight the people he admired, loved and respected the most; he had to do so because that was what was right. They were on the wrong side of things.

It teaches us that sometimes to do the right things; we have to go against our friends and family, even if that means losing them forever.
