Bruce Lee: Fighting Spirit :- Jeet Kune Do

-

He Haw Kick Bam Spat Chapat Thak Thak Pataaak!! If you are thinking what has happened to me this is the sound of my brain (naughty brain :P) making imaginary noises when it thinks that it can fight like Bruce Lee. 

Bruce Lee I remembered this name. When I was growing up and used to play video games on 8 bit console there was a video game called Kung-Fu. The first word which came to my mind was Bruce Lee. Somebody told me that he was killed as some psycho dude stabbed him. Now I grew up there were messages like Bruce Lee Chuce Lee naaaa upto this time to be candid I did’t showed up interest in his life.  Something happened after it. Facebook came into my Life and two of my friends Lali and Shivi Baby (will provide their twitter handles later in the post) posted some pics of the fittest men on earth on their profile with the words “Don’t Think ....Feel!”. I remember at that time I was reading open by Andre Agassi and he has written “Stop Thinking Start Feeling”.  Time moved on .One day my eyes landed on Bruce Lee fighting spirit, I bought it from landmark at the rate of INR 139. After that the word “Jeet Kunde Do” landed in front of my eyes and something changed. I was excited to get my hands on this beauty. It arrived. 

First thing that strikes me is the electrifying font on yellow paper . It starts with a young bruce Lee a Swift and Suave dancer Yay!! His journey to America , his love life and the ONE INCH PUNCH!! BAM.

At this stage it gets very interesting. “ The real purpose of the inch punch was to show that there is a far more powerfull way of striking someone than simply using arm and shoulder muscles. The more relaxed you  are , the more energy can flow through the body; using muscular tensions to try to do the punch, or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over, only has the opposite effect.” . Next day I changed my  Skype Status to “The One Inch Punch”. 

What amazes you is the control Bruce had over his body. After that you are mesmerized by “Yin and Yang”, Yin Man and one hell of the struggle this man made. At one point Bruce is like trough of a sine wave with amplitude -1 and just like a phoenix risen from ashes , after one year his life takes a hairpin band and he is the biggest star that US industry was about to see. The mental toughness, kick ass physical regime , the control of his nerves Bombshell Bruce definitely took the human body to his limits and beyond. But soon I was sad as when the Lee was about to hit the bulls eye “Enter the Dragon” he was no more. Author has done a great research on various parameters and controversies when the guy left for the other world but I was stunned as Lee targeted his entire life for a SMASH HIT movie and this Asian Marvel was not there to see the historic Feet. Enter the Dragon as usual was a smash hit. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!!

This classic biography is written by Bruce Thomas and definitely deserves a space in your reading shelf. There are so many things I haven’t touched on but I have realized “The oneness of life is truth that can be realized”.  Jeet Kune Do , which is limitless in possibilities adn interestingly it talks about Muhammed Ali who is next on my reading list.

This post is dedicated to my three friends:

My Rating 10/10. 
 Jeet Kune DO

The Other Wes Moore:One name and two fates Do you have the answer??

-
“When it is time for you to leave this school, leave your job, or even leave this earth, you make sure you have worked hard to make sure it mattered you were even here.”  I was thinking deep when I finished reading this book. I tried to answer the question but I couldn’t figure out the right answer. I wonder whether there is a right answer or not.  Flashback:  A month back I was strolling in my workplace. I took it as excuse as I was tired by sitting and wanted to take doses of vitamin she. So as a predator I hunted in the wild jungle and my eyes socket were looking for a pretty prey who can  recharge my eye balls who were tired by looking at the dull computer screen for long time. During this strategic planning I met another hunter, Kunal Pundir and I stated doing some chit-shit chat with him. He told me there is a book called The other Wes Moore: One name and two fates and gave me a brief introduction about it. I watched the rating on Amazon an...

Khaleesi teaches Management, Game of thrones:-

I must confess that I recently started watching game of thrones, and was blown away by it. As my friend “ American Obama ” puts it “Game of Thrones is competing in league of its own”.   During  five seasons I was impressed by one character Daenerys Targaryen popularly known as “Khaleesi”. Having studied management I was curious on sharing my thoughts on “What Khaleesi teaches us about Management” Personal Branding Khaleesi also known as dragon mother is known across 7 kingdoms for owning Dragons. Dragons are the most powerful weapons in the entire series though no one has seen them in action for long time.Dragons are her core competency, no one else owns them.  Khaleesi positions herself as a compassionate yet stern leader who does not entertain cock and bull story.   She brings and end to slavery in Slaver's Bay commands, respect command of Dothrak and leads the dragon too. The way Khaleesi emerges from a timid girl who is married to “Khal Dr...

The Unforgiving Minute: Encore Encore-

“If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!” -Rudyard Kipling In my previous posts ( http://tinyurl.com/8y8gdyf ) I have expressed my inclination towards war literature.  But my urge to read more about it never finishes. So once I saw rating of this Epic written by CRAIG M. MULLANEY on Amazon I was interested to get my hands on it. A hard bounded edition over 370 pages is indeed a saga of virtue, valor and victory \0/. Craig’s story is honest to the core and redefines the true spirit of courage and leadership.  It shows the camaraderie between men living in toughest of conditions which forms the basis of brotherhood and “Hand grenade effect” ( http://tinyurl.com/8y8gdyf ). Entire book is divided into three parts “Students”, “Soldier” and “Veteran”  and each takes you towards the preparation of author for the ultimate l...
