Life Is Time Comes To Everyone, Just Keep Patience


Life is Time comes to everyone, just keep patience: 

Year 2004. A young wicketkeeper named Dinesh Kartik made his debut for the Indian cricket team. His cricket career was taking off, and in 2007, he married his childhood friend Nikita Vanjara.

Dinesh and Nikita were very happy in their married life. Dinesh was also captaining the Tamil Nadu team in the Ranji Trophy. His close friend from the Tamil Nadu team, who later became part of the Indian team, was Murali Vijay.

One day, Nikita met Murali Vijay, Dinesh Kartik's teammate. Nikita was attracted to Murali Vijay. Innocent Dinesh Kartik didn't realize this. Nikita and Murali's closeness grew, and soon they started an affair. They began meeting openly. Besides Dinesh Kartik, the entire Tamil Nadu team knew that Murali Vijay was having an affair with Dinesh's wife, Nikita.


Then came the year 2012. Nikita became pregnant. But she shocked everyone by declaring that the child was Murali Vijay's. Dinesh Kartik was shattered. He divorced Nikita. The very next day of the divorce, Nikita married Murali Vijay. And just 3 months later, she gave birth to their child.

Dinesh Kartik fell into depression. He started having mental health issues. He couldn't easily forget the betrayal of his wife and friend Murali. He turned to alcohol, drinking from morning till night. He became like a recluse. He was ousted from the Indian team. He also failed in the Ranji Trophy.


He was stripped of the captaincy of the Tamil Nadu team. And Murali Vijay was made the new captain. The phase of failure didn't stop there; he wasn't even played in the IPL. He stopped going to the gym. In the end, Dinesh became so hopeless that he started talking about suicide.

Then one day, his trainer from the gym came to his house. He found Dinesh Kartik in a bad condition. He took Dinesh straight to the gym. Dinesh refused, but his trainer didn't listen to him.

In that same gym, the Indian squash champion Dipika Pallikal used to come. When she saw Dinesh Kartik's condition, she also started counselling him along with the trainer.

The hard work of the trainer and Dipika started to show results. Dinesh Kartik was on the path of improvement. Meanwhile, Murali Vijay's game was continuously declining. On the other hand, Murali Vijay was ousted from the Indian team. Seeing his poor form later, even Chennai Super Kings showed him the way out of the IPL.

On the other hand, with the support of Dipika Pallikal, Dinesh Kartik started practising vigorously on the net. It started to have an effect, and Dinesh Kartik started scoring big in domestic cricket. Soon, he was also selected in the IPL and became the captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders. He had become very close to Dipika Pallikal. He married Dipika.

According to his age, Dinesh had become old in cricket. Rishabh Pant had already arrived in the Indian cricket team. Kartik realized that his career was almost over. He decided to retire from cricket. On the other hand, his wife Dipika Pallikal became pregnant and gave birth to twins. Dipika's squash career also came to a halt.


Dipika and Dinesh Kartik wanted a bungalow in the posh area of Chennai, Poies Garden. In 2021, an offer came to buy a mansion in the same area of Chennai. Dinesh decided to buy it. Everyone was surprised that when both Dipika and Dinesh had almost retired from the world of sports, how would they fulfil such an expensive deal?


Then Dinesh got information that Mahendra Singh Dhoni from Chennai Super Kings wanted to see him back in the team as a wicketkeeper. The auction for the 2022 IPL began. But this time, instead of Chennai, Royal Challengers Bangalore bought him. Dinesh's wife Dipika also started playing, and just 6 months after the birth of their twins, she won the title of women's doubles with Joshna Chinappa at the World Championship in Glasgow.

The success story of Dinesh Kartik should be known to everyone. Falling and rising again is what Kartik's life tells us. Always keep patience. Keep fighting against the odds. You will definitely reach your destination.

Regards,

Dinesh Kartik,  Dipika Pallikal, CSK, Virat Kohli

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Basavanna: Equality, Humanity and Human Rights

Bengaluru: Akshaya Trutiya is the birthday of Lord Basaveshwara or Basavanna, the 12th-century revolutionary poet and religious reformer who rebelled against all blind beliefs, practices and rituals of Hinduism. It also goes to his credit of bringing God to one’s palms while simultaneously and vehemently opposing the tradition of visiting temples and places of pilgrimages in search of the almighty. Interestingly, unfortunately, or sadly what his followers or disciples have been doing all along would be another separate topic for discussion and better to forget for the time being. A Hindu Protestant: Dr Godwin Shiri, former Director of Christian Institute For The Study Of Religion And Society (CISRS), Bengaluru, during an informal interaction, opined-“Basavanna can be aptly described as a Hindu Protestant as he was in the forefront of opposing blind beliefs”. Influenced by Buddha: Mallikarjun G Kelagade, former Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) kee...

Dharwad's Arya Durga, Rukmini and Saraswati...: From Nothing to Crores and Crores...

Bengaluru: Arya Durga Kirani Stores, with Rukmini and Saraswati outlets, are household names for all those residing in and natives of Dharwad. It was a humble and austere beginning, dating back a few decades, thanks to hard work, sincerity, and trustworthy behaviour with customers, the business flourished and grew in leaps and bounds in an unimaginable proportion. Started working at the age of eight years! The owner, late Gajanan Vitthal Shetti, was primarily from Ankola in the North Canara (Karwar) district. Ankola, a coastal town, is renowned for its Salt Satyagraha during the freedom struggle movement. The financial condition of Shetti's family was too critical, making it too difficult to meet even the basic demands of day-to-day life. He began working at a ration shop while he was only eight years of age and continued working until he became 15 years old. Mahalakshmi Hotel boomerangs: Then Gajanan Vitthal Shetti came to Hubballi to do business. He came with his father, Vitth...
