“Which one of you is Malala?” asked the gunman and the bullet travelled 18 inches from the side of her left eye, down the neck landing into her shoulder. The rest is history. She now says “Nothing changed my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.” The UN Secretary then pronounced “12th July” as Malala Day” in honour of the young leader, Malala Yousafzai (Her birthday). Ignited in spirit, Malala was instrumental in creating global awareness of “Importance of educating the girl child”. She gave a vision to the society and the world at large to educate the girl child and hopes to aspire higher in life.

23 years ago Serendipity led me to the Nobel profession of teaching. Soon after I did my post-graduation in English, I got a call to substitute a professor for a few months. The immense love and respect led me to take up teaching as a career. Today, I teach at Govt. Polytechnic Curchorem. To students pursuing their education in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic engineering and computer Engineering.
As I was scrolling through you tube one relaxed evening, a black and white video which appeared on the side suddenly caught my attention, since black and white usually indicates some nostalgic recording from the archives. On opening the video to my surprise and delight it was the video of the highlights of the 1975 world cup hockey final which India won beating Pakistan in the finals. This brought back a gush of memories of that magical summer afternoon on 15th march 1975, at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia when India was crowned King of the hockey world and which I consider to be India’s finest sporting hour and triumph even more than the 1983 cricket world cup triumph.
