Holiday Season Gifts – DirectTV

Dec 23
Blah
So, the holiday season is here. And the same question is one everyone’s mind. What’s the best gift you can get for your family?
Your son is growing up fast, getting active into sports every passing day. And your wife is into variety shows. Are you caught between all of this and still looking for a gift to please them all. DirectTV Satellite TV is your best solution. It offers you 130 channels in High Definition (HD), with the best in class sports channel offering.
With DirectTV you can choose from a vast collection of 265 channels ranging from Movies, Sports, Fashion and Entertainment. DirectTV Sports is an exclusive offering I took. It covers the NBA, the NFL Sunday Ticket (one of the exclusive DirectTV Packages), NHL, Major League Soccer, Major League Basket Ball. The variety is simple mind boggling. If you pick the Movie Package, DirectTV programming provides you top quality content  on HBO, SHOWTIME, Starz and Cinemax.
All this comes at a cost of a dollar a day, for a month, $29.99 per month. And this is a special holiday season offer. And hey, this includes Free installation!

A Cueist, to take cue from.

Jul 28
Blah

Introduced to snooker at the early age of 10, Pankaj Advani, even as a child played the game with natural ease. Only a few people are bestowed with an innate desire to pursue their passion at an young age and he nurtured it, by making the best use of anyopportunity that came his way. Grit and mental toughness have been etched in his character.

The Karnataka Billiards and Snooker Committee (India) spotted his talent and decided to be his sponsor.  His consistent performance is an indicator of his calibre and ability to match the best, both in the National and International level. His talent, combined with focus made him the youngest Indian to have won the Senior National Billiards Championship, at just 17. Pankaj made his debut at the International level in 2002, where he finished as a finalist at the Asian Billiards Championship. From then on, there was no looking back for him.

Some of his golden moments happened in 2005 when he claimed five billiard titles in the same year. Yet , he stayed grounded. He went on to receive several awards- the  prestigious Arjuna Award in 2004, Rajiv Khel Ratna Award in 2006 (the highest award conferred upon a sportsperson in India). His undeterred spirit and professionalism has taken him this far.

In 2007, when the Karnataka Govt decided to confer upon him, “the Eklavya award”, Pankaj Advani outrightly declined the award, on grounds that the State Govt had a discriminatory attitude towards the sport!! He’s a true sport.

He had a clear idea of where he wanted to be, at an early stage in life. Level-headedness and a great work ethic are such an integral part of his towering success.  Achievers can only be self-driven individuals who take fierce pride in their performance, here is one.
