Great things happen to good people!!!

I'm so happy to see good people being reciprocated with goodness and even getting the recognition they deserve.

Many believe 'olleavarige kaala ella' kinds where being good is of no use. What people do not realize is Karma is a thing!!! Unlike previous beliefs that the previous life's karma haunts you in this life, the world has changed and the gratification is instant. Karma repays you in this life itself, whether it is good or bad.

Incidents from this week where people who have added meaning to others' lives are getting the deserving gratitude back is such a relief and restore faith in humanity. 

Watching Rahul Dravid yesterday in the Indian team dugout makes me feel so good. He has been one of the most hardworking and nicest cricketers the world had ever seen. He did almost everything he could for the team without thinking twice. He has played at every position, opened batting with wicket keeping, captained without any support, and the list goes on. But he never got the recognition he deserved back then. Forget recognition, he was dropped a million times, criticized for slow batting, not being aggressive on the pitch, etc. He was always the second fiddle for people like Sachin, Ganguly, etc.

Things changed when he was leaving. He was adored for his consistency and discipline which was rare. He has helped so many cricketers and almost everyone who has interacted with him has great regard for him. Read about what Kevin Pieterson has written about Dravid in his biography. He always took the difficult non-recognized jobs like the under 19 coach, A team manager, and cricket academy which no other famous cricketer thought about. And what a difference it made!!! We won a Test series in Australia with almost a B team that Dravid had prepared. The Under 19 talent in India is just incredible and we won almost all games in the world cups and the kids came out shining in IPL. He helped people when they needed it without any expectation in return. But look at him now. No one will think twice if he is nominated as the best ambassador for cricket. His ways of working with youngsters, his speeches, and his hard work have been an inspiration for millions. So much so that Dravid is much more adored than Sachin now. He has added meaning to so many lives and I am so glad that he received the gratitude back by millions!

As I said, great things happen to good people. Gone are the days of bad boys, good is the new 'in thing' 😇 Continue being good, continue helping, and continue adding meaning to life. It gives a feeling of fullness and you will get the returns in this life (even if you do not expect any) 🙏  Karma is a good bitch! 😂😁
