Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
Cricket now is definitely a professional team sport.
The World Cup is a very important way to measure the good players, and the great ones. It is a test of a great player.
We have a great sense of togetherness. It is our team spirit that has taken us to this World Cup.
The World Cup is not just a great global sporting event, it is also inscribed with much deeper cultural and political importance.
The beauty of the World Cup is that while thirty-two countries get to cheer for their respective teams, the event also affirms a global pluralism - it is as much a festival of cultural multiplicity as it is a competition featuring some of the best athletes in the world.
Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished.
The world is coming down
the flags of the winning country are up.
who wanna be no.1
who's gonna take up the world cup.
who will it be,
who'll be king,
it's once in a lifetime chance.
who'll rule the world.
gotta see who rule the world.
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.
By Miss Aliza Kashmala Kiran.
The three fold flame of Christ
The three fold flame of Christ ~
love, wisdom and power,
is veiled by our ego,
heart enmeshed by desire,
unable to let go.
The three fold flame of Christ ~
we are at the first rung,
not yet love enabled,
our pursuits self-serving,
with narrow views tabled.
The three fold flame of Christ ~
affirms we’re living light,
on earth for a sojourn
but due to fall from grace,
consumed by lust, we burn.
The three fold flame of Christ ~
ushers tidings of joy,
for Heaven is within,
transmuting our presence,
cleansing our soul from sin.
~ if we so choose to be ~

Existence is the cauldron where elements brew
Earth, water, fire and air, are in space entwined
Each has unique attributes, maintaining life
Cognised by presence when they are aligned
Holy Spirit grazes form, beginning at root of spine
Earth comes alive, as blood begins to flow
Two thirds of the planet is water; we are likewise
We feel in stillness, our sacral water centre glow
Energy ascent continues, igniting fire in the navel
So enlivening and comforting is magnetic heat
But what avail the spark, if there be no movement
Breeze of air obliges, making our heart upbeat
Thus from root to sacral, navel and then our heart
Grace activates all elements and body glands
Passing through throat corresponding to aether
Into the head ovoid to cognise God’s heavenly lands
Ancient Hermitic wisdom affirms: as above, so below
Made in God’s image, we represent the whole
Five senses, elements and electricities as yet unknown
Oh hermit, we ourselves are the light, scriptures extol
Organic form goes through birth and death
Thus man too did believe in death’s inevitability
Until Jesus practically demonstrated resurrection
Signalling that we too may so transcend, as did He
Upon lighting the three fold flame of Christ in our heart
Scriptures abound with similar miraculous illustrations
Let’s take the epic book, ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’
It affirms the resurrection of Sri Yukteshwar Giri
Likewise bilocation power of Anandamayi Ma
Validating truth that there’s no limitation
The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus goes deeper
Being a channelled text of the Akashic records
Elucidating that at the beginning of each life cycle
Our Father in heaven sends His son to walk among us
Demonstrating the zenith heights of mankind’s potential
Recognising we are soul eternal, for a sojourn upon earth
With love alone as real, all else but a thought construct
We choose to exit the narrow cravings of lower mind
Living joyfully with all beings, in a borderless world
Respecting the soul journey of each life form
Easter then for humanity, a gentle wake up call
To glorify God with each breath inhaled by His will
Returned back to void, infused with pure loving intent
Each cell of mind-body slowly transfigured as living light
That we ascend, merging with God’s blissful luminescence

Not a single person is happy on earth
Still we praise God for his bountiful love and worth
If God were all powerful as everyone affirms
Why doesn't he end all our problems and confirms
So many die of hunger, so many unwell
Every one suffering, for many life is a hell
If he were a true father, he should find this unbearable
With true love his actions are no way comparable
Scriptures state we suffer for our sins
Because God gave us free will we sin
When we sin he watches without stopping us
Either he lacks power or doesn't care about us
God is heartless and merciless of all
Every sin we do punishment does befall
Sinners he will never acquit
No one can sin and get away with it
What I feel I am telling you
God is as helpless as me and you
If not helpless at least moody for sure
Not all you ask you will get I am sure
I feel God is neither bad nor good
He is a mere spectator doing what he should
He is doing it all maybe for livelihood
His role is definitely misunderstood

A constant companion since way back when,
He's my savior. Amen.
Because my heart he does engross,
I'm in His shadow we're so close.
I've seen His movements in the world;
Seen His works--His wonders unfurled.
I've beheld the magic of August moon,
Smelled rose on summer afternoon.
I've read His ancient word, still true,
I've looked to endless skies, still blue.
Heavenly Father, on bended knee,
I lift my eyes and look to Thee.
Yes, heard His voice whisper in the wood;
Been His child since babyhood.
A love that shines brightly forevermore;
I've heard His knock upon the door.
I've glimpsed His figure in the fog;
We've been engaged in dialogue.
Yes, the minister affirms with a nod,
How amazing is God!
I've participated in the holy rites,
Beheld the stars on Christmas nights,
And seen things grandiose--
I'm in His shadow we're so close.
Heart problem? That's common to all; and nobody is exempted!
"I'm well; I'm healthy." You and I can declare such, when prompted...
Yet... the nagging question keeps on reverberating - - -
Like you, I'll face it - not resisting; and then, deal with it... unrelenting.
“The heart of the problem,” the analysts say
“…is the problem of the heart*.” I agree anyway
For out of the heart are life’s issues verily…
Thus is what God’s precept affirms assertively.
Today, I’m yielding myself to the heart Doctor
My Creator, life’s Designer, Operator
For Him to reveal my lingering heart ailment
That I ignore, deny, hide with guilt’s settlement.
Here am I, under the heart Expert’s scrutiny
Exposing common heart aches’ source that seems tiny;
Oh, how I cringe in pain as He names what’s the main…
In my inward parts there sits on the throne the villain.
Diagnosis shows pride exalting self’s glory
Highlighting selfishness’ ecstatic victory
Revolving around the I, me, myself and mine
With envy, covetousness, and greed next in line.
Midst the heart Specialist’s examination
I’m failing… and now fainting in deep exhaustion…
Gripped am I with feelings of doubt, confusion, shame
Though hurting, I come to God; His healing – I claim.
Now, I admit my severe heart-infirmities
And receive His cleansing for my impurities
“Lord, I thank Your mercy, grace, love that never lack
To safeguard me surely from fatal heart attack.”
*Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

2nd place, "What Do We Have in Common" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues; judged on May 21, 2018.
Buoyed over waves of elation
Marvel at favourable sights of creation
Prospect for attainment visible
Within glossy bastion, even trials seems agreeable
Mollusk of endearing devotion, grumbling for denied favours seem so easy
How progenitors of our existence purse their frustrations makes one feel lousy
Reeking of corrupted souls, makes tastebuds sour to elixir
Grafted as second skin blends to exude a new color
Aversion so easily discerned when everything awash
How chameleon spirit avulsed everything from one in a stroke of whiplash
Hooters perched on the demise of accrued inheritance
Consternation that needs to be shackled for their malefactor dance
When plunder acknowledged for their vantage
Stipends bequeathed as morsels to owner of the heritage
When the bubble finally bursts
Lesson that even if one's dominion life is not always just
Monitoring in anticipation stranger's and dear ones alike by holter
Affirms the old adage that blood is thicker than water
Not one is perfectly happy on earth
Still we praise God for his
bountiful agape love and worth
If God were powerful as everyone affirms
Why doesn't he end all our problems?
Why doesn't he do something that confirms?
Every one is suffering, for many life is unbearable
If he were a true father, he should end all agony
With true love his actions are no way comparable
Scriptures state we suffer for our sins
When we sin he watches without forcibly stopping us
Either he lacks power or doesn't care if we sin
God is heartless and merciless of all
No one can sin and get away with it
Every sin we do, punishment does befall
God is as helpless as me and you
If not helpless at least moody for sure
All you ask he will not give you
I feel God is neither bad nor good
He is a mere spectator doing what he should
He is doing it all maybe for livelihood
It is obvious, who is God we have still not understood
About God, we have merely read and heard
We have not seen him, he is definitely misunderstood
