Why do people become so nice during natural disasters? (wrote this during JAIMS program, April 1st, 2019)

When I visit public places, I notice something common: people come together to share experiences—shopping, walking, dining, enjoying a café. It made me think that connection brings happiness. But is that true? Nowadays, people stay connected through technology—Facebook, Twitter, social media. Does this mean they’re happier? Have we lost our human connections? Not exactly. We often see people coming together to help each other during tough times. This raises a complex question: why do people become so compassionate during crises? Take, for example, the 9/11 attacks. In a country as individualistic as the United States, people banded together, supporting each other like family. During the 2011 tsunami in Japan, people united to help each other in the face of destruction. Why do we see such kindness during hardship? Even in India, where differences in culture and religion can cause division, people come together to help each other when disaster strikes. Why this shift in perspective? It s...

An US company I will always admire (1 page document written during JAIMS, 25th April 2019)

Microsoft Corporation Common Stock (MSFT) 125.44  USD   +1.68 (1.36%)  Closed: Apr 23, 7:56 PM EDT After hours 125.59  +0.15 (0.12%) Microsoft has been a company I’ve admired ever since my college days and throughout my professional career. Below are some key reasons why I hold Microsoft in high regard: Vision Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. This modern-day vision resonates deeply with me, but what truly stands out is how the company has evolved over the years. I still remember Bill Gates’ statement back in 2002, when he said he wanted to see a computer on every desk and in every home. At the time, I didn’t have access to a computer and couldn’t imagine how that dream would become reality. Yet, now, computers are more affordable than ever, and almost everyone has one at home. It’s incredible to see how much of that vision has materialized and how it has positively impacted...

India’s 2011 World Cup Win: A Story of Grit, Teamwork, and Redemption

India’s 2011 World Cup victory was a celebration of pure team effort—a result of every player’s determination to rise to the occasion despite challenges, including some of Dhoni’s tactical decisions that he openly acknowledged later. His performance in the final was a way to redeem earlier missteps, showing the immense pressure he faced to lead and deliver. The shift in media and public sentiment was dramatic, turning critics into fans almost overnight. Yuvraj Singh’s fielding in the final was nothing short of exceptional, setting a standard for Indian fielders. From bowling his full quota in every game to consistently fielding brilliantly across the pitch, Yuvraj’s performance was driven by sheer motivation. He became a symbol of the energy and drive that fueled the entire team, even as they tackled setbacks—losing the toss, facing a high target, and the early dismissals of Sehwag and Sachin. While I’m not one to credit luck, the inclusion of Sreesanth brought a sense of fated support...

Sachin Tendulkar: The Eternal Dream of Every Cricket-Loving Kid in India

Even with legends like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, and Virender Sehwag gracing the field, young cricket fans in India still dream of becoming the next Sachin Tendulkar. For countless school kids batting on the streets and open grounds, it's Sachin's stance, his style, and his unbreakable spirit they aspire to mimic. Found as a prodigiously talented teenager more than 20 years ago, he quickly became everyone’s favorite, even our mothers adored him for his curly hair and boyish charm. He was just a kid in a man’s game back then, yet his promise was undeniable. In the 1990s, Sachin became synonymous with Indian cricket. His presence alone was enough to rally fans across the nation. When he was dismissed early in the innings, stadiums fell silent, and fans at home would turn off their TVs. Sachin symbolized hope for millions, standing tall as a batsman whose skill didn’t falter, even on the toughest pitches abroad. On hard, bouncy, or seaming tracks, he remained fearless, t...
