EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVERS - 1 Karoly Takacs

         Every Olympic gold medalist is special, intensively trained and they are arguably the world's best in their respective sport. They command respect and inspire a generation. The pain they take to honour their country makes them legends.

       There are few who are the legend of legends, the greatest of greatest.......... the KING of Kings.

       Karoly Takacs is one such person.

          Karoly Takacs was a sergeant in the Hungarian army. He had won most major national and international championships. The 28 year old shooter is the hot favourite to win gold in 1940 Tokyo Olympics.

           But disaster struck.

            At an army training session, a hand grenade accidentally exploded and blew away Karoly's right hand, his shooting hand. Karoly lost his limb. A hand that would have earned him an Olympic gold medal, that could have turned him a hero for his hard work in the past years is lost.

           An irreplaceable damage . A lost that cannot be compensated.

          If he had been a mediocre, he would have brooded over his fate, wallowed in self-pity and might have lost his entire life thinking of what he had lost.

          But Karoly was made of sterner stuff. Winners never worry about what they have lost, winners focus on what they still have.  Karoly thought like a winner.

           After a month in hospital, Karoly went away from the glare of the world. He lost his right hand but he had a strong, willing mind and a left hand. He trained, trained hard and made his left hand, a shooting hand equivalent to his right hand.

           Think how difficult this transformation would have been. Just use the mouse in your left hand, brush or try to type a message  using your left hand to understand the difficulty of training the alternate hand. The bull's eye is just the size of full stop. Yes the very size of a (.) full stop !! And Karoly got the target with his left hand. 

           He made his left hand the best shooting hand in the world.

Winning is less about skills, more about attitude.

           Karoly Takacs won the gold medal at the 1948 Olympics in London. He did not stop with that because winners do not limit themselves.

             

              Karoly Takacs won a second gold medal at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, again using his left hand

Karoly Takacs is one of my inspiration. Prakash Iyer (@prakashiyer )introduced Karoly Takacs to me in his book  The Habit of Winning .

                                          

                                  

Celebrities' Classroom

Probably the world’s most imitated persons are not celebrities, PROFESSORS. Their boring lectures may be awful in class hours but they make the funniest stories in break time with our buddies. Try this… they are a good ice breakers too. Why every lecture is mocked and differnently boring?? How do we remember them even if we don’t listen?? Because they are unique. Every professor or teacher have their own style of lecturing. Here they are classified in broad categories. Check how many have you experienced yet J

terminators

Serious?? Funny?? Who knows… they never show any expression at all. No grin no shout no compliment. Go, teach, come back is their motto.

When they enter, there will be a little movement in their lips which is the reply to your wish. Once started there is no looking back unless the over-bell rings.

ADVANTAGE :

You can write any incomplete record or send texts to your buddies or play a game in mute. They are the best for morning hours.

INDIANA JONES

                              

Well they are those who have a real time example for every theory. At last we remember the example but not the theory. They always emphasis on practical learning and they are better in another subject they teach

DISADVANTAGE:

They have never completed syllabus on time.

SHOW STOPPERS

The gorgeous... they will battle along with the students for ‘the handsome guy’ or ‘the hot chick’ title. No matter at what time or how good they teach, attendance will be high.

ADVANTAGE :

You can never believe an hour passed like a minute. This is the disadvantage too.

The fast and furious

The lecture will begin at the moment they step in the class. Its better if you hold the pen with your note opened before you stand up to wish. They teach short hand writing along with their subject. Mostly they are Chuck Norris or Rajinikanth fans.

golden words are not repeated !!

DISADVANTAGE:

They never show their hurry when the hour is over.

The hulk

THEY ARE ALWAYS ANGRY

No matter how you study or where you sit, once they fix, you are violated, not just once. They are there just to remind you Karma is real. You will be punished.

The politicians

THEY NEVER WORK

You can’t see his face often but you will remember him for all the good he has done. He would accept anything as an assignment, proxy is a common practice, internal marks are always the maximum but he just expects one thing in return…… you should not talk to him about the subject nor he will to you J 

well the lecturers are classified.... what about the students ???????


they fall under a single category

snorlax

so what do they think their professors are ???

jiggly puff

IPL FRENEMIES

Well IPL is nearing its climax but the play off teams are not finalised yet. One of our favorite show and the top of them, IPL is definitely a mass attractor indeed. Though there are talks of reduced TRP of this season the truth is IPL affects the TRP of other shows and serials.

Then why a few hate IPL ? Just for one reason

EXTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA INNINGS

It’s better not to tune to the channel before the match starts but as we are curious to know the result of toss and pitch report we make this mistake and get hurt mentally.

Navjoth Singh Sidhu :

                                        

There  are destructive cricketers but here is the destructor of viewers. The one who rhymes in hindi that sounds more like a boring bollywood film. Well its impossible to write more on him without crying. I don’t wish you to cry so I will stop with his picture L L

Danny Morrison :

          

The Name is Enough but still a picture will be more than enough

twin bombs

Fortunately  there are few good things too,

Women’s day

I wish you a very happy Women's Day(belated). They colour our world, at times there may be grey profound but still they are wonderful.

The simplest way to fake as a gentleman is just to wish a girl on this special day and mention how holy womanhood is 

Well as we are getting more aware to celebrate feminism the business tycoons are a step ahead asusual.

The recent survey shows the ads target women of age 18 to 35 , who make the decision on shopping. Though they appear to concern on women but still they utilize the women’s weakness to sell their products.

Girls love two words more than anyother. LOVE and DISCOUNT . At times the latter gets priority

so here we see how women are lured on the very same day celebrated for their welfare

   a goldshop ad that spells tribute

what's next?!

the wardrobe filler uses biology too !!

a promise note to groom her

 this one seems really caring, isn't it ? but look down 

 WIERD !! THIS IS WOMEN'S DAY NOT ANTI-MEN'S DAY

won't a mother wish a discounted fee for her son ?

but if this shop is benefited, men will be happy

Jokes apart, women are humans just like men but with different physique. They deserve equal rights in everything. There should be no discrimination  just because she was born a girl.  

We salute womanhood

Let us rise in the moral power of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and eternal truth, and mighty love and holy freedom.
Maria W. Chapman

ooty

         the most favorable destination of south India, queen of  hills, Ooty seduces you the moment you run your eyes on her. 

         Standing tall ooty attracts the weekend hang outs too.. all u see there are young energetic people resting hard in a greenish backyard, children playing with whatever that amuses them, busy vendors and..... romantic couples (surely singles will be irritated )

        

                             a lonely house @ an estate

 city view

                                      

we are welcomed with mind blowing scenarios and deep valleys, every hairpin-bend gives you the thrill that would satisfy you with the feel you have spent worthy 

 

And the most indispensable visit is to the lake for a fantastic boating with your loved ones on your chosen boat

 The surprising spot at the hills , The Wax Museum , non-governmental , with the statues of leaders and terrorists, cautioning scenes and much more 

but the museum is suffering from financial crisis

                           

Well you gotta eat eat n eat.. ooty is the major producer of home-made chocolates, the taste you could not rejoice in any other packed bars. The chilli-bajji makes your tounge tangle and it is the perfect snack for  the cold climate. The fried corns with variety of masalas.. u cant eat just one

      

The city is cold but people are not, all you see there is an amusing tension-free life of  blessed people  living in such a paradise. The reflection of sunlight on peaks treats our eyes and cameras.

                 give me some sunshine,

                 give me some rays

the misted town

There is much more here to experience than the cold

Visit ooty, recharge yourself !!
