[English Poem] Life worth living

Fortune maybe inherited by luck
Money may be earned by any kind of means
Gifts may be received by chance of being in the right place
Love can be received passively not realizing its beauty
Places can be traveled without involving heart and mind
Respect can be commanded by making people fear you
But a life worth its name can be lived only
    by doing things that make us feel invincible
    by enduring struggles that make us feel livelier than ever
    by feeling the sense of universal soul that resides in each living being
    by making moments that make you forget about the past and future, and when they become memories make you forget the present
    by comprehending beauty of this universe and trying to recreate a part of it
    by living moments that skip you a hearbteat and take out your breath
    by making friends who make your joy multiply and tears hide

[Opinion] Nationalism in current times

India is having extraordinary Olympics at Tokyo. Whole country is celebrating the success of our players which is good to see. It is definitely a happy, proud and inspiring moment for all the citizens. I remember how I was inspired after watching story of Milkha Singh in his biopic. In fact, it still inspires me every time I watch. Please don't ask me what I have done with all that inspiration though! Our Olympics performance might hopefully change the attitude towards sport in our country. Maybe from now children who show interest in sports rather than education (read engineering and medicine) and will not be criticized or mocked for doing so . Out pour of national jubilation over winning of Gold Medal in Javelin Throw made me think about nationalism, what it means and its possible downsides. Note : Winning a medal in Olympic track and field after 120 years, which is also the first ever Gold for India in Olympic track and field is an extraordinary feat, one surely worthy of celebr...
