Belief is what it takes!!!

If you think you are a wasted life and worry too much of things you don't have, just remember there are these athletes who defy all odds and win life on their own.


Olympics saga was so hyped for its craze and the extent of sports involved. But then lot of us don't have an idea about Paralympics (Olympics for Para athletes) that's currently underway in Rio. I didn't, until I woke up to the news that an Indian had won the First ever gold in such event. 


Mariyappan Thangavelu from TN took the honor in High jump while there was Varun Bhati Singh who won the Bronze. There was one other Champ Sharad Kumar who could have added to the medal tally if not for American Sam Grewe. The interesting fact is that these 3 Indians rank 1, 2 and 3 in World Rankings for High Jump. May be he was destined to win gold, for his name "Thangam" means gold.  "It’s not beyond me, even gold is possible", beaming Thangavelu had told while interviewed before the final. He believed and achieved. 

Jonnie Peacock and Georgie Hermitage, Gold for GB in respective Men's and Women's 100 M Sprint, Ellie Robinson in Swimming and a lot more.

The Water Dispute

Not long before that I got to know whats the real issue with the Cauvery water dispute. Karnataka and Tamilnadu being in taters for a really long time over sharing the river is a known thing but the video which I came across lately got me thinking. There happens to be 10 countries that share the basin of the Nile, arguably the world's longest river. Same with India and Bangladesh sharing one and whats even more surprising is the fact that India even shares one with Pakistan and not so with any disputes, let alone politics.

I've not done a lot in its favor than just being a mere spectator but that's what most us do, for we don't know what's to be done or perhaps aren't really concerned. But then looking at the future generations that might face drought more worse than ours really makes me worry and think of doing my bit. so here I'm sharing what i came across over this dispute. The video coms with subtitles for everyone to understand. To put it simple, let me just say;

Lets forget Politics. Save Water!!
Even if its the very drops that can be saved at each and every house.
And let's be sensible and be human.

Follow this link. It does makes sense.

The video is in tamil so I might as well translate the core for everyone to understand.
