WHAT'S IN A TWEET

OPEN LETTER TO SAINA NEHWAL


Dear Saina Nehwal,

      "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."
                                     - Rudyard Kipling

       'Words of wisdom' can have a profound impact in our lives.Tongues have always possessed the power to alter the course of history. Statements by leaders can make or break a situation. After all, we can get information about a falling tree. Nowadays, with the advent of social media, 'tweets' have assumed the power which was once the exclusivity of the 'tongue'. I am referring to the 2 tweets that you tweeted yesterday.






              I was simply spell-bounded by your tweet. It showed all the great qualities that you have- humility, compassion, forgiveness, acceptance and what not! I, like many others was a bit apprehensive about your support for compatriot P V Sindhu. It's a dog eat dog world, and I wasn't frankly expecting you to cheer wholeheartedly for your rival. The way you put down your troller with kindness reflected the inherent humility in you, A single tweet can speak volumes. And that tweet really opened my eyes. It reimposed the truth- " SAINA IS A PATRIOT OF THE HIGHEST ORDER". Aspiring players across the nation should try to imbibe the quality of humility in them.
              Also, i would like to wish you a speedy recovery. You have to conquer the world again.
In anticipation of "Saina Nehwal vs P V Sindhu, World Championship Finals, Glasgow, 2017"

Yours sincerely,
Soumya Kanti Bera

P.S- We know that like all other Indians, you would be rooting for Sindhu to bring home the Gold.

WE ARE THE LEFT

Humhe Chahiye Azaadi,
Chahe usse ho Desh ki Barbaadi.
WE ARE THE LEFT,
WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT.

 Our blood boils when we see our Armed Forces,
 And we rejoice at the sight of their corpses.
 WE ARE THE LEFT,
 WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT. 

 Our heart bleeds for terrorists from Kashmir, 
And we forget that Pandits were from Kashmir. 
WE ARE THE LEFT, 
WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT. 

 We get inspired from China- the light of Asia, 
And forget Tibet, because we have selective amnesia. 
WE ARE THE LEFT, 
WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT. 

 We believe in the ideals of liberty, 
And remain silent to ISIS brutality. 
WE ARE THE LEFT, 
WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT. 

 We know that we are truly secular, 
And chant 'Inh inh'to make us popular. 
WE ARE THE LEFT, 
WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT. 

 We believe in bringing equality into the system, 
And stop bringing Uniform Civil Code into our system. 
WE ARE THE LEFT, 
WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT.

 Humhe Chahiye Azaadi, 
Chahe usse ho Desh ki Barbaadi. 
WE ARE THE LEFT, 
WE CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT.
