Sam Manekshaw, key architect of India’s 1971 victory against Pakistan, famously told Prime Minister Indira Gandhi that the Army wasn't ready for war in April 1971 and requested a few months to prepare.
Gandhi accepted, and Manekshaw delivered a swift, remarkable victory.

"Don’t save gratitude for the finish line — share it along the way."

In the race of life where there is no finishing line... we often forget to appreciate our cheerleaders who are always there in our all highs and lows... who always lifts us whenever we are going down.

we wait for the moment to thank them when we will get success but we need to understand that success is a very subjective thing... it's not just about one moment but about whole journey, growth, and strength we build along the way.... if we lived that journey fully and grow while walking through it, we would succeed in life even after so called "failure" in an exam.

So why to just wait for just that one moment to show gratitude to our loved ones while they are there for you in every moment... thank them whenever you get the chance... appreciate them and spend some time with them... reciprocate with the same efforts they do for you...

Their support is much more valuable than any other fleeting achievement.🌷✨

“science is not only a discipline of reason but also of romance”.

Stephen Hawking

This means that although scientific endeavours are based on rationality and empirical evidence, the seeds of such endeavours are found in the romantic notions of a person who has the passion to explore the unknown. Within each of us, there exists a Scientific Man as well as a Romantic Man. The romantic envisions the dream, while the scientist provides the tools to achieve the dream. They are two sides of the same coin, mutually complementary and equally important. Dreams cannot fulfill themselves without the tools of rationality, while the tools themselves are of no use without a dream to work towards.

फिर कितने सोमवार कर रहे/रही हों 😅😅?

तप–तांडव–तप
अवचेतन मन की चेतना हैं,
श्री हरी की साधना हैं,
जटा में सुरेश्वरी, भाल–चंद्रमा हैं,
'शिव' - तप - तांडव - तप की यात्रा हैं।

हलाहल पीकर, अमृत हैं,
दुर्गा के अंतर्मन - चित्त हैं,
संपूर्ण ब्रह्मांड के ऋत हैं,
'शिव' - तप - तांडव - तप की यात्रा हैं।

तांडव की क्रोधाग्नि हैं,
अर्धनारीश्वर की शक्ति–गामिनी हैं,
परंतु, शून्य और मौनिनी हैं,
'शिव' - तप - तांडव - तप की यात्रा हैं

विनाश भी हैं, पूर्ण प्राण भी हैं,
आराधना भी हैं, तूफान भी हैं,
तांडव की गर्जना हैं, आवाह्न भी हैं,
'शिव' - तप - तांडव - तप की यात्रा हैं।

Desire makes you wish, but discipline makes you win.

Dreaming big is comparatively easy but only those who can make efforts everyday for their dream, can turn it into reality.... No matter how boring the work is... no matter how much tired we are but if we really want to achieve it we have to fight every single day... we have to be disciplined... we have to be consistent.

There is no other choice... if you decided to achieve something great then step up to work hard everyday in order to turn your words into reality.

Keep fighting..
Be disciplined...🌷✨
