Indeed, any sport is replete with stories that carry several meaningful life lessons, and cricket is no different. Whether in victory or in defeat, the game offers you many free of cost life lessons, which can be observed if you are more than just an entertainment seeker. Apart from the thrills and joy being a Cricket fanatic that I am, here are a few learnings from the Grand 45 day’s spectacle. 1. Not everything in life will go according to plan:Life is unpredictable. You might plan something for yourself but there might come some hurdles that will clash with your plan. Just look at England’s weather and what it did to the matches. The growth of your life can also be interrupted by some unwanted rain, so plan accordingly. So be prepared for the unwanted. 3. Be Consistent: One or two match performances may give you applauds as team but not the goals you need to achieve. Everyone was in awe of West Indies in their initial matches but then they lost the steam and their way. Even Pakistan like always were inconsistently consistent .In the end both didn’t made semis. 5. There is always a Second Chance: Ben Stokes bore the blame for England’s loss to West Indies in the final of the World T20 2016. Carlos Brathwaite carted four consecutive sixes in the final over of the game off Stokes, as the Windies romped to a miraculous win.

He had a narrow escape, he tells We were attacking some tanks in Chamb-Jaurian sector in West Pakistan, when there was heavy anti-aircraft gunfire against my plane. In the cockpit, you hear a lot of thud thud thud. But I was lucky, that nothing came through. From a group of 20 pilots, four were shortlisted to go to Russia, after medical tests and further filterations, Rakesh Sharma and Ravish Malhotra were chosen for the course of training, which lasted for two years. Commodore ( Retd) Ravish Malhotra remebers: We had to learn Russian. Because from instrumentation to marking on the spacecraft, everything was in Russian. Twitter He credits his adaptive skills to the defence life, he tells It was but natural for us to adapt to the Russian culture. In the defence services, we move around a lot and hence coping with the new environment was not difficult for our families. While the two pilots were being groomed and trained to undertake several missions in space, back in India it was de...
