Quote Of The Day
Today is a special day for us 'thinkers', as we have completed one whole month publishing this blog. So I feel, the above quote pretty much sums it all up. This quote tells us, that to be successful in whatever you are doing, you must be determined to achieve it. Because if we lose the plot of the whole thing in between, and stop being consistent, you might as well lose your goal. Today, our perseverance has brought us all to this place. And I feel, with this determination, we could achieve many more.

LANKADHEESH: THE ASURA EMPEROR OF THE GOLDEN LANKA
Ravan, the
epitome of evilness, the villain of the great epic, the Ramayana, the powerful
king of Lanka, is considered to be the evilest villain of all times. Though his
villainy is the only thing that he was reputed for, there are many things of
the ‘ten-headed’ Asura king that were overshadowed by his ego and evil nature.
According
to legends, Ravan was born to Sage Vishrava, the son of the Great Prajapati
Pulastya, one of the ten mind-born sons of Lord Brahma, the creator himself. As
his great ancestors, Ravan was also the possessor of a very fearsomely powerful
intellect, and was a man with many talents. Ravan was born to Sage Vishrava,
and Kaikesi, the Asura princess and daughter of the then King of Lanka, Sumali.
Ravan was the second eldest son of Sage Vishrava. Sage Vishrava had six sons,
namely, Kubaer (The celestial guardian of the treasury of heaven), Kumbhakarna
(The brother who slept for six months at a stretch, and ate for another six
months), Vibhishana (The virtuous follower of Lord Ram, who later became the
reason for Ravan’s death), Khara, Dushana, and two daughters namely,
Shurpanakha (The one who instigated the war), and Kumbhi.
Kubaer was
crowned the King of Lanka, after Lord Vishnu defeated Sumali, the Grandfather
of Lord Ravan and father of Mother Kaikesi. To avenge this humiliation at the
hands of his half-brother, Ravan usurped the throne from him, and became the
King himself. As a legend goes, after becoming the ruler of Lanka, Ravan, along
with two of his brothers, Vibhishana, Kumbhakarna, went to Mt. Meru, and
performed a severe penance to please Lord Brahma. Pleased, the Lord blessed
Ravan with the boon of invincibility, from all creatures except humans. Ravan,
as very few people know, was the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva. Ravan also
tried to please Lord Shiva, but even after 11,000 years, the Lord did not turn
up. Hence, to appease the Mahadev, Ravan severed his head, 10 times. He also
tried getting an audience with the Lord, but was stopped by the Lord’s
favourite, Nandi, and was cursed to meet his end at the hands of the monkey
race. Unable to meet Lord Shiva, the great Lankadheesh tried to climb Mount
Kailash, from the most difficult side possible. Mahadev, seeing him
approaching, kicked him down the whole mountain. This infuriated Ravan to make
an even greater sacrifice.
Ravan
severely injured himself to obtain material to make an instrument, the Rudra
Veena. Known to be a great Rudra Veena player, Ravan began to play this
instrument, and began singing the praises of the great Destroyer of Evil.
Pleased, Lord Shiva was forced, to appear and present Ravan, with what he
desired the most; The Atmalingam, or the Power of Lord Shiva himself. The story
of how Ravan lost this power, and was defeated by Lord Ram, is for another
time. The instrument was called the Ravanhatta and most of the people get
shocked to hear that the praises of Lord Shiva composed and sung by Dashamukhi,
was none other than the powerful Shiva Tandava Stotram. This shows that a
person should go to any extent to achieve what he or she desires, but if the
goal is a bad one, then the efforts, however great they may be, are forgotten
over a period of time.

HIGHER EDUCATION VS SKILL ACQUISITION
There’s
always a war between two sides: Jedi Vs Siths… Lannisters Vs Starks… Demigods
Vs demons… In these cases, we usually know which side is going to win.
However, no matter how much we wish for it, the real world does not work the
way we want it to (Remember T-series Vs PewDiePie …Donald Trump Vs Hilary
Clinton…India Vs China… I’m going too far, aren’t I?). When it comes to
personal taste, each one of us has our own opinions on different
subjects.
Now…where
do we stand on this given topic?
We are all
busy chasing the superficial term “success”. As always, there are two sides: higher
education (a.k.a a certificate, a piece of paper that defines our intellect
based on our theoretical grasp and understanding; without considering practical
expertise) and skill acquisition (the dexterity that usually helps us in
proceeding in day-to-day life but fails to grab opportunities along the way
because we need the black and white proof of the existence of our knowledge).
That sums everything up, doesn’t it? (Why should I even continue writing this
blog…)
I’ve been
mulling over this question myself for a long time. Let’s elaborate on both
perspectives.
Higher
Education refers to a certification course that Industry requirements and job
placements make it compulsory for aspirants to get these certified courses to
get placed in a large-scale company at a higher position. In this case, if a
person wishes to specialize in a particular field, it may not necessarily be of
his/her field of interest. The individuals that choose this educational path
are more appreciated and valued in the industrial and the non-industrial
sectors, as a degree course prepares individuals and trains them. However, the
higher graded individuals are absorbed more in the industry hence many aspirants
chase after the grades and the marks without properly gaining the knowledge. Of
course… by “many”, I don’t mean all (to the person who’s reading this, don’t be
offended, you might be stuck in the same rat race…I am).
Skill
Acquisition concerns the abilities of an individual to perform given tasks
efficiently without any obstacles. One can also label it as the practical
knowledge or the knack to deal with a varied range of problems. This typically
involves observation and executing certain actions. It also calls for trial and
error method while learning. For mastering a skill, curiosity, focus and
perseverance are quite important. Assuming a person has an assorted skillset,
where do we go downhill? I’ll tell you. It’s the resume that is
considered before a person is called for an interview during a job application.
In these circumstances, the more certified individual is called for.
So… does
anyone win here? Nope.
The only
option that remains, is to strike up a balance between the two i.e., to improve
one’s skills as well as concentrate on the degree courses to excel in our
field of interest.

FOOTBALL
HAVERTZ GOAL CROWNS CHELSEA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS
Kai Havertz broke the deadlock
near the end of the first half when he managed to get on the end of a defence splitting
pass from Mason Mount & kept his cool to round Ederson & slot the ball
home. Not only did the young prospect from Germany break the deadlock in the
game but he added the first to his UCL goal tally.
For Thomas Tuchel, the
Champions League victory means that he is at the peak of his managerial career.
The German has been through lots of ups and downs in recent seasons after leaving
Dortmund, suffering heartbreak in the final last year with PSG & then being
sacked from Paris. Chelsea were rock bottom of the top half of the table,9th when
he took over the reins from Lampard & yet managed to not only ensure champions
league qualification for the club but steered the club to their second ever UCL
title. He could have become only the third ever manager to lose consecutive UCL
finals but he showcased tactical masterclass to see Chelsea through the final. He
thoroughly managed to come out on top in the duel at the touchline, and
outclassed Pep. Some say that it was Pep’s overthinking that cost City dearly
as he made some skeptical changes to City’s approach. Chelsea’s defence was
impenetrable as they closed down any spaces left to exploit for City and managed
to shove Mahrez, Sterling, de Bruyne, Foden & Silva completely out of the
equation.
While an expected goal of
0.52 for Man City in the biggest match of their history is rather underwhelming,
a League trophy and cup along with a final appearance is nevertheless an
impressive achievement for City, taking into account that the League victory was
their third in the last 4 seasons. City still managed to exert their domination
in the Premier League. However, failing to capitalize on the biggest stage
where it mattered the most has seen Pep receive undue criticism. The menace
& class showcased from this Chelsea side was indeed commendable and too
much to handle for even the best coaches and players.
