Recall, great souled Yudhishthira, tormented and embattled, refuses to enter heaven at the end of the epic. He insists that an unclean, stray dog, who had been following him, is admitted into heaven as well. It turns out to have been a test, and Yudhishthira and his ethical goal of anrsamsya or compassion, are paid the highest compliment. He is told, ‘Great king, you weep with all the creatures!’ I wonder why no Indian mother calls her son, Yudhishthira. There are millions of Arjuns. It is not because it is difficult to pronounce. The fact is that Arjuna is a winner in the self-defeating kshatriya rat race of life. We prefer winners to goodness.

Breaking the sound barrier
It was in the X-1 that Chuck Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier in level flight on October 14, 1947, flying at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13.7 km).
I don't know why this thing came to my mind today morning.Maybe I have broken some mental barriers somehow and somewhere.

Judgement Day 1
Lets see kya hota hai ..
aar ya paar..
jo jeeta wahi sikandar
ugte suraj ko sab salaam karte hain..
All these zabardasti ke quotes are coming to my mind spontaneously.
Lets see destiny kya kehta hai.
