Women

“باتوں باتوں میں مجھے خیال آیاکہ مرد کے دل میں عورت کی کشش کی ایک وجہ یہ بھی ہے کہ عورت کے سامنے وہ دل کھول کر جھوٹ بول سکتا ہے اور عورت بھی ہر دم جھوٹ سننے کے لیے تیار رہتی ہے۔ ہوشیار سے ہوشیار عورت بھی بلاآخر اسی مرد کو پسند کرتی ہے جس کے جھوٹ پر وہ اعتبار کر سکے

” لحمے/بلونت سنگھ افسانہ 1949 میں لکھا گیا تھا۔

The Golden Duck - Web of our lives

Sir Don Bradman came into the 1932 Ashes - also known as the Bodyline series - with a great reputation, having plundered 974 runs in the previous Ashes in 1930. Also, in his last Test innings, he had scored 299* against South Africa. 

When Bradman walked out to bat in the first innings of the second Test (he missed the first Test), the whole MCG stood up to greet him. However, Bradman was out the first ball, hooking a ball outside the line of stumps back onto the stumps, leaving the whole ground in shock. 

As it is stated in one of the biographies on Sir Don, around 550 km away from MCG, in Hobart, a certain Mr. P. Hancock, who was listening to proceedings of the game on a radio in his hotel, was so disappointed with Bradman's duck, he walked out to take a stroll. 

Wandering aimlessly in disgust of Bradman's performance, he saw three kids drowning in a nearby river, with the youngest of the lot later reported to be only 2 and a half years old.

Mr. Hancock dived in without taking off his clothes and it is believed the three kids were saved by him.

Bradman's duck was a highly unanticipated event. However, it seems it had a bigger significance than just a number on the scoreboard as it ended up in a much bigger cause.

Bradman came back strongly in the second innings, scoring 103* in Australia's 111-run victory.

Subconscious Mind

Recently, a CEO of a big healthcare system told me that: 

"All of my landmark or tuned-good decisions and strategies were never made while I was vigilant. They all came out of my subconscious mind during the last stretch of my sleep. I sleep 9-10 hours a day. In the last two hours of sleep, during a trans-state before waking up, I usually find answers to my unsolved queries, difficult situations, and strategies for uncharted territories. They always turned out better than all brilliant minds' long discussion sessions."

No Gare Hira? - What!

One of the finest scene from classic Indian cinema
