Hope is...when there is no hope

"An almost non fancied teams beats a champion in a thrilling game of cricket"
"No one thought this guy would make it big in movies"


There has always been a story of an underdog in whatever we do. The Underdogs are every where, but we dont seem to have enough of them do we?....

Here in this post I try and bisect the drive and reason behind an underdog story.

The most important and a major factor of an underdog is fearlessness/ lack of expectations. Yes, like they always say they have nothing to loose. Expectations always seem to be a burden for a whole lot of us, that is why being a champion is not easy

A champion uses the expectations of people to drive himself forward
 But what about the lesser mortals, its not easy and when this load of expectations is taken off the lesser mortals, an underdog is made!!

But is that the only reason? is taking the load off a person the only reason why an underdog story is created. Well there is another category of Underdog is that of "the fallen one".


The case of the Fallen one is curious ("The curious case of the fallen one.. :-))...because we have often seen big giants fall and fall and fall...but then once they hit rock bottom things start looking up again..it is as if starting up new was the only solution for them. But what happens when they hit rock bottom?... Another quote

I lost hope, I lay on the ground to die....
With my eyes open I looked up and realized
My limit is the sky!!
Yes , when u have fallen you then realized that you never had limits to what , where and when one achieves something. If one has to fall, then it has to be for the good, and only one person can determine how much you benefit from the fall and thats yourself. Most "fallen ones" have used failure as spring board for success and one must know on a springboard the harder you fall the higher you go!!!....

Thats what life is about...irony...lots of irony...one rises to fall and falls to rise.....one lives to die and dies to live........
One searches for hope and finds hope where there is no hope
