India and China have reached a consensus to disengage in the Eastern Ladakh sector.

In the Corps Commander level talks between India and China at Moldo, both sides agreed to disengage from all frition areas.

Army sources say,  the Corps Commander level talks between India and China on Monday were held at Moldo in a cordial, positive and constructive atmosphere.

AIR correspondent reports, Modalities for disengagement from all friction areas in Eastern Ladakh were discussed and will be taken forward by both sides.

The marathon meeting lasted nearly twelve hours in Moldo on the Chinese side of Line of Actual Control (LAC) to defuse tensions at the Eastern Ladakh sector.

This was the second meeting between the two sides.

They had earlier met on June 6th and agreed to disengage at multiple locations.

But on June 15th, violent clashes took place and casualties were reported from both sides. India termed the clash as a premeditated action by the Chinese troops.  

Reacting to the development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the countrymen that Indian armed forces are leaving no stone unturned in protecting the country.  

Mr Modi asserted that country today has such capability that no one can dare even look towards an inch of our land.

People are spontaneously boycotting and burning Chinese products in different parts of the country.

India stresses on need to respect principles of international relations at RIC trilateral FM’s meet

India has said that respecting the international law, recognizing  legitimate interests of partners, supporting multilateralism and promoting common good are the only ways of building a durable world order.

In his opening remarks at the Russia-India-China- RIC trilateral  Foreign Minister’s Video Conference  today, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar said that this  Special Meeting reiterates our belief in the time-tested principles of international relations.

He said,the challenge today is not just one of concepts and norms, but equally of their practice. He said, the leading voices of the world must be exemplars in every way.

Dr Jaishankar said the United Nations began with 50 members and today it has 193.

He said UN’s decision making surely cannot continue to be in denial of this fact.

He said Russia, India and China have been active participants in shaping the global agenda and it is India’s hope that RIC will also now converge on the value of reformed multilateralism.

Dr Jaishankar said the victory over Nazism and Fascism in the second world war was achieved through sacrifices across many theatres by many countries.

India made a significant contribution, with 2.3 million of its citizens under arms and 14 million more participating in war production.

The Minister pointed out that when the victors met to fashion the ensuing global order, the political circumstances of that era did not give India due recognition.

He said this historical injustice has stood uncorrected for the last 75 years, even as the world has changed.

He said that therefore, it is important for the world to realize both the contribution that India made and the need to rectify the past.

Small Business, Big Trouble: The Viral Times

The outbreak of coronavirus has taken back happiness from our lives, at least for some time. It has forcefully changed our long habits. Lot of people from different walks of life are at the receiving end of our changed habits. One important segment is the small traders, shopkeepers and hawkers. Apart from their everyday sale they also depend on major festivals for huge sales. The demand for new clothes and other consumer items usually ensure good profit for them. But no more going out for shopping in crowded markets. It is a difficult situation for them.

The virus has already stopped the celebrations of the Bengali New Year, Eid ul-Fitr and Rath Yatra. The same fate awaits many more. Shopkeepers who sell essential commodities are in a little more comfortable position than the rest. The official notification only permitted opening of shops selling essential goods in the lockdown. In the Unlockdown 1.0 only some non-essential shops have been allowed to open. Still people are afraid to go and buy because of the fear of infection. Hawkers face the worst situation. According to the National Hawker Federation, there are around four crore hawkers in the country. They have incurred a huge loss of Rs. 48,960 crore out of total turnover of Rs. 2,88,000 crores within April. What has happened to them in this lockdown? How much loss have they incurred personally? We do not know clearly. Let us discuss few instances.

Poila Baisakh or Bengali New Year is celebrated in a big way in West Bengal. It is one of the very special days for Bengalis. Each year the markets in Kolkata offer Chaitra Sale, annual shopping festival, from 14 March to 14 April. It ensures a huge sale of new clothes, shoes, earrings and many more items. The markets are kept open till midnight and for a month they remain very crowded. During this time in a month hawkers make about 35% of their total annual profit. The sale attracts around fifty to sixty lakh customers. But this year all those vibrant scenes were missing. The markets and pavements were all empty day and night for the first time in decades. It came as a huge blow to thousands of hawkers. They do not even know how the business will get back to normal.

Eid ul-Fitr is a much celebrated national holiday after one month of Ramadan. This is a special day for Muslims and they buy new clothes and other items to celebrate with their families. The profit from this festival sale is always more than the normal sale in the market. But in this lockdown the usual hustle and bustle was missing in the streets. It turned out to be a low-key affair this year.

The Jama Masjid in Delhi saw the lowest attendance in prayers for the first time. According to the meat vendors and livestock traders, transportation of Eid special meat was held up in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The poultry farms have also lowered the production due to their heavy loss in April. The supply chain has been broken by serious restrictions followed during the pandemic. Thus all the vendors have faced huge loss in Eid. Some families are out of work for over two months and almost are out of savings. The rise in price and low supply meant that meat was beyond reach for many families.

Rath Yatra is a week-long festival for devotees of Lord Jagannath and his family. In Puri the event draws around five to ten lakh devotees in a week in June. All of them are seen outside the iconic Puri temple where three chariots remain ready to move. It not only attracts devotees but also small street vendors from Puri and other places to earn extra money. The hotels, restaurants and other business establishments wait eagerly for Rath Yatra to have large footfalls. The religious festival has a major economic dimension.  But this year because of the coronavirus the Supreme Court had initially banned Rath Yatra. This had led to great disappointment to those who were waiting to recover some losses. Then the Supreme Court allowed it but imposed severe restrictions, including curfew, to prevent people from attending the festival. The shutdown of airports, railway stations and bus terminuses for nine days has deprived small traders and hawkers of Odisha from the large customer base they expect during the festival time.

We do not know yet how many festivals will be celebrated without shopping. Small time traders and hawkers in the country are facing tremendous loss even after the Unlockdown 1.0. No one can undermine the importance of safety in such times and no one is arguing that we should crowd the markets as before but the fact remains that they are paying a heavy cost because of the pandemic.   

General Myths about Introverts

Many people find it difficult to deal with introverts due to some preconceived assumptions that they seem to have. It is nothing new. It has been going on for ages now and still people seem to have no idea on how to deal with introverts. This article aims at showing some of the major misconceptions people have about introverts:

1. Introverts are shy

Introverts are not shy. They might seem to be so but they have their own world within which they are as comfortable as extroverts are in front of people. Introverts have a hard time opening up to people they don’t/barely know but it never makes them shy.

2. Introverts are rude

Due the fact that introverts very seldom communicate with people, people tend to think that they are rude and have attitude problems when in reality they can be the most interesting people on earth. They don’t mean to avoid people to hurt their feelings or emotions. It’s just that they don’t feel comfortable with interacting with people they barely know. Once you happen to be close to them, they will be the most amazing individuals you will ever meet in your life.

3. Introverts hate people

Introverts don’t hate people. They just don’t feel comfortable in initiating a conversion or going to crowded places like concerts or parties due to which people think that way. They do appreciate the few people they have in their life. They care for them deeply and never take them for granted for they know they’re the only people to be their in their life.

4. Introverts are boring

Once you get to know someone really well only then you will be able to understand the kind of depth they happen to have. They are not boring. If they choose you as their friend, you will come to realize how interesting they can be. They will make you see the world differently. They will help you grow and have new perspectives. All you need is patience and care.

5. Introversion is a choice

It is not. People tend to grow different characteristic tendencies as they grow up. They do not choose to be introverts. It is how their mind prepares them to be in their life. People can choose to quite, but not introverts. It’s a mindset that slowly and gradullay develops from within. No one can control or overpower it.

6. Introverts are always melancholic

There is a very common misconception amongst people about introverts. They think introverts are always sad and melancholic. They keep quite most of the time but it does not mean they are sad or depressed all the time. They choose to keep their happiness within themselves and their way of showing joy is different than the others. Just because they choose to spend time with themselves it does not necessarily mean they are sad.

There are hundreds of different misconceptions about introverts and introversion in general due to which people often find it difficult to deal with introverts. These are some of the very common myths that people have about them and they need to understand these really well in order to understand their introvert friends well in life.

Novak Djokovic and his wife tests positive for Covid-19

The Serbian tennis professional and one of the most dominating players in men’s tennis and the men’s world number one tennis player, Novak Djokovic,33 has been tested positive for covid-19 along with his wife, who has also tested positive for the virus

The World No. 1 is now the fourth tennis player to test positive for the virus after participating in a charity tournament recently which he organised in Serbia and Croatia. Djokovic confirmed the news in a statement and also issued an apology to those who were infected with the virus after playing in the charity tournament.

Earlier in the week the Serb stands widely accused of complacency for organizing an unofficial charity event – in Belgrade, Zadar and Montenegro (subsequently cancelled) – without safety protocols applicable in most other countries and which have prevented resumption of the main Tour until August.

Djokovic expressed regret and sympathy but little contrition in a prepared statement. He was clearly upset that his close friend, Viktor Troicki, and the Serb’s pregnant wife, along with Grigor Dimitrov and Borna Coric – who played each other on Saturday – as well as Dimitrov’s coach and his own fitness trainer had also tested positive. he also repented for each individual case of infection and hopes that all of them recover soon.

With increasing number of covid-19 positive cases all over the world its important to be safe and take the necessary precautions

Need of afforestation in present world

We are living in a world where development is the atmost priority for everyone whether to develop knowledge , infrastructure , our own countries or any other field. In this period of development we have taken our mother Earth for granted and as a result we have forgotten the prophesy of give and take that we never gave the nature anything in return . And now the condition has gotten worse , humans recklessly cut trees for their own benefits, to earn money.

Afforestation is a very important element to protect and save our beautiful mother earth. Trees are meant to give us oxygen, shade , shelter , food etc. but humans are not understanding it and cutting them endlessly. Trees not only help us sustain life but also help to reduce global warming which if not seen would be a major problem in future.

What I am suggesting is that we teenagers and the future of this extraordinary world should take steps rather small steps but help our mother nature to survive like it helped us. Let us not let us ruin our futures by destroying the nature around us. Let’s make this world a better eco-friendly place to live in. Start awaring people around you. Plant trees, start taking part in environmental programme in your schools. You try to be friendly with nature the nature will automatically be friends with you.

Let’s go friends with nature!!!

Rath Yatra of Shri Jagannath

Wishing you all a Happy Rath Yatra!

Rath Yatra is the biggest and the most paramount festival celebrated in the state of Odisha, every year, in the monsoon months of June and July. The presiding deities of the main temple, Srimandira (in Puri), Lord Jagannatha, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra, with the celestial wheel Sudarshana are taken out from the temple in an elaborate ritual procession on their respective chariots. The huge, vividly decorated chariots, are drawn by hundreds of devotees on the Bada Danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha temple. Devotees pull these three beautiful giant chariots. These chariots have unique names. The name of Lord Jagannath’s Chariot is Nandighosh, that of Lord Balabhadra is Taladhwaja and that of Goddess Subhadra is Devdalana. After a stay for seven days in their maternal aunt’s (mausi) home, the deities return to their abode in Srimandira.

It is believed that Lord Jagannath wishes to visit his birthplace for a few days every year and to fulfil this desire Rath Yatra is celebrated. The whole ceremony is a 12-day long process, which includes many rituals, including the Snan Yatra.

Lord Jagannath

It’s believed that the glimpse of Lord Jagannatha on the chariot is regarded as very auspicious and the ancient scriptures and bards have repeatedly glorified the sanctity of this occasion. It is said by the locals that even with a touch of the chariot or the ropes, with which these are chariots are pulled, is considered enough to confer the results of several pious deeds.

The concept of the chariot has been explained in the Kathopanishada in the following words-

“Atmanam rathinam viddhi sareeram rathamevatu
Buddhim tu saarathim viddhi marah pragrahameva cha.”

Meaning-
The body is the Chariot and the soul is the deity installed in the chariot. The wisdom acts as the charioteer to control the mind and thoughts.

Speaking historically, the Ratha Yatra of Jagannath dates back to the period when the temple was built by Anantavarma Chodaganagadeva in the 11th century CE. Also, if we check the tracts of historical facts and texts, we will find that there were a lot of times when this auspicious and grandest festival of Rath Yatra was stayed back.

In today’s scenario, keeping in mind about the ongoing pandemic situation,the apex court (Supreme Court) granted liberty to celebrate this festival but with some major restrictions.

https://www.speakingtree.in/allslides/less-known-facts-about-rath-yatra-or-car-festival

In a nutshell, the Rath Yatra, which is not only celebrated in Odisha but also in other states like -West Bengal and Gujarat, remains one of the grandest festivals celebrated in India, gathering a large number of devotees,hence. Joi Jogonnath!

Impact of social media on youth…

Social media became the part of life of today’s youth. They spend long hours on mobile and laptop using facebook, instagram, twitter, whatsapp or snapchat. Using these apps became the habit of youths in such a way that, they can even get off from it while they are in class or playing or sitting in a gathering.

The use of social media has both positive and negative impacts. The positive impact is that, social media keeps them updated about what’s happening around the world. Through these they can connect to their friends who is living miles away from them, which help them to keep the relations stronger.

A major advantage is that social media sites we can create pages and groups according to their profession which helps to build more connections and more opportunities being opened in the respective fields which can even lead to more employment opportunities.

Even though social media has many advantages, it has many disadvantages too. Using social media for too long, reduce the number of face to face interactions. As they use social media for long time, they don’t get time to sit with their family and go out with friends. According to studies, this leads to social isolation causes depression, anxiety, and many other problems. Social media also effects student’s language as they always use short forms or abbreviations on social media platforms which leads to a negative impact on their language capabilities.

Spending long hours on chatting on social media sites also decrease the productivity of youth which carries the youth not to be self dependent so they depend on parents and families. The long wasted time on social media can be used to do something productive by earning money or by learning something on online platform. Social platform also encourage spread of wrong information about religious and political groups or on people’s name which leads to fight and envy between the concerned parties.

So social networking have both positive and negative effects on youths. So it is necessary to use social media in a moderate way. Parents should guide and advice their children about to use social media sites effectively and warn them about the negative effects and cannot be overused. Proper usage of social media should also be included in the education curriculum so that they can use it effectively and doesn’t fall into the trap of negative impacts.

THE INDIAN LITERATURE

The Indian literature, writings of the Indian subcontinent, produced there in a variety of languages like Sanskrit,Prakit,Pali,Bengali,Gujarati,Hindi,Kannada,Malayalam,Tamil,Telugu etc.. The term Indian Literature is used here to refer the literature produced across the Indian subcontinent prior to the creation of the Republic of India in 1947 and within the Republic of India after 1947.
The earliest Indian literature too the form of the canonical Hindu sacred writings, known as veda, written in sanskrit.The vedas are added with commentaries such as the Brahmanas and Upanishads. In addition to sacred and philosophical writings, such genres as erotic and devotional lyrics, court poetry,plays.
Beginning in the 19th century, paricularly during the height of British control over the subcontinent, western literary models had an impact on Indian literature, the most striking result being the introduction of the use of the vernacular prose on a major scale.Such forms of story began to be adoptef by Indian writers, as did realism and an interest in social quetions and pyschological description. A tradition of literature in English was also established in subcontinent.
The production of Sanskrit literature extended from about 1500 BCE toabout 1000CE and reached its height of development in the 1st to 7th centuries CE. Because sanskrit languages was identified with the Brahminical religion of the vedas, Buddhism and jainism adopted other literary languages. From these and other related languages emerged the modern languages of northern India.
The literature of those languages depended largely on the ancient Indian background, which includes 2 sanskrit epic poems- The Mahabharata and The Ramayana as well as the Bhagavata-purana and the other puranas. In addition, the sanskrit philosophies were the source of philosophical writing in the literatures and the sanskrit schools of rheoric were of great importance for the development of court poetry in many of the modern literatures.
Not only sanskrit, many of the languages have played a main role in the Indian literature. The main reason why the sanskrit language is given this imporatance is because of the two epic poems which is mentioned before. From that day to the present all the languages play vital role in Indian literature.

YOGA ~ A Virtue Of Life!

Our daily life is a tug of war between our mind and our body. We may seem perfectly healthy externally and yet be exhausted on the inside or vice versa. I found yoga to be my way of achieving inner peace- like so many others!

“Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit broken pieces together”.  ~ B.K.S Iyengar.

What yoga has taught me is that you have to face lots of problems while learning you might fall too, but you need to stand up again because it is a slow process. You just need to be focused and consistent towards reaching your goal. It is a holistic life philosophy that unites the body, mind and spirit through physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation. The physical postures (asanas) involve specifications along with breathing techniques, that’s why it should be practiced under the guidance of a qualified yoga instructor. Yoga asanas if done incorrectly can cause more harm than good.

Though internet provides hordes of articles, guides, and videos that one can learn from, nothing can replace the guidance of a real teacher. There are many subtle specifications that sometimes vary from individual to individual and often depend on one’s flexibility and body type. Such minute observations and correctness come through experience.

Yoga doesn’t bear fruit overnight. It is not just a set of exercise. One needs to be patient.

“Yoga is like music; the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life”.

China vs Japan

China always had a thirst to expand its country. The communist country created problems to many of the neighbouring countries which includes the encounter of Japan islands this April. China sent 67 ships to island named Senkaku which is located in the territory of East China sea.

China claims the island to be its own. No one knows what China could do by expanding its geographical area. The island is uninhabited and worthless and still China is intrested and claiming it’s authority. Interestingly island has two names in two countries. It is called a Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyus in China. If Japan reacts then it would lead to a greatest battle that earth had ever witnessed. Washington is obligated to protect Japan and it’s territories due to a treaty between both the countries. The play will become far more worse with the involvement of United States.

East China sea has wide range of marketing expansion and China wanted a use of it and trying to claim the position in order to obtain it. Japan had rights over the island since 1972 and the island has been a part of Japan. Now China tries to claim it and has sent 67 ships. Japan coast guard found Chinese government ships in Eas China sea and it created a huge tension across the globe with already existing tension.

‘The Senkaku Islands are under our control and are unquestionably our territory historically and under international law. It is extremely serious that these activities continue. We will respond to the Chinese side firmly and calmly,” Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, said on Wednesday (June 17).

“The Chinese Foreign Ministry said similar sentiments about the islands “The Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands are an inherent part of China’s territory, and it is our inherent right to carry out patrols and law enforcement activities in these waters.”

Tensions over the rocky chain, 1,200 miles (1,900 kilometers) southwest of Tokyo, have simmered for years, and with claims over them dating back hundreds of years, neither Japan nor China is likely to back down over territory considered a national birthright in both capitals. If China declares a war, then it’s a war with America, and again apparently, its a war with all those European nations who are allied with the Americans under the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (the NATO). Yes, China is a damn strong country, but being factored by the United States of America having the strongest military, and the other Western European countries having their military powers among the top ten (like Britain and France alone), would be a bummer for China.

On the contrary, Chinese has more options and even some major defeats will not totally destroy them, means they can afford to lose. Such advantage might turn out as an disadvantage at war. They has no experience at naval war and modern warfare. Even at the land, they more rely on their numbers. I can’t imagine how can Chinese land force able to defeat same number of Japanese land force.It is not hard to imagine, Japan able to bring major below to Chinese army at sea and even at land. But China could drag Japan into an endless conflict

International widow day

23rd June is signified as international widow day. The importance of this day is to aware the people with the difficulties and struggle that widows are facing in this world. There are around 258 million widows and 1 in 10 of them is living in poverty. India is one of the country which has most number of widows in this world.

On 23rd June 1954, Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba became a widow and raised 7 children on her own. So, lord Loomba chose 23 june as international widow day in the memory of his mother.The first consideration of this day was in 2005 by Lord Loomba and cherie Blair. In 2010, 23 june has been officially adopted as international widow day. By 2010 many events started to took place on this day in many countries.

This day helps many trusts to raise funds to help window womens and their childern. After the death of husband, a women becomes alone and the whole responsibilities of family comes on her shoulders and many of them are not capable to carry those responsibilities and such critical situation is often ignored in the society and no measures are taken by the government in their favour. Hence, this day is to highlight these women’s issues, that they exists and are living in so much difficulties.

And it can be seen that some success has been gotten through this day because now many NGOs are working in this field to help widows by providing them work, teaching their kids, fighting for their rights because mostly womens are not supported financially by their families and drove away from their homes, so we should also help them whenever we can.

Catcher in the Rye:Book Review

It truly is a novel which the youth of any country can relate to in some or the other way, we can greatly empathise with the instances in the novel and is quite appealing to any reader. It was initially published in 1951 by J D Salinger and it is considered to be one of the 100 best novels of the twenty first century by Modern library. It’s young adult fiction and it is said that Salinger was moved by the war and its torment which is reflected in Holden’s character by his loss of hope and faith.

The novel takes you on a ride along with the protagonist of the novel Holden Caulfield who is a 17 year old teenager who drops out from school as he is unable to cope up in the academic area. The only two people whom he was quite close too was his elder brother D.B and his younger sister whose innocence made him develop a soft corner towards her. The setting is the post-world war era and things are not as great as they should be, though freedom is enjoyed by each character. He like many teenagers loses hope in society and is unmotivated to move ahead further in life to fulfil goals. He experiences many adventures which gives him a sweet as well as a bitter taste of reality. In the end he just wanted to be himself, unfazed by anything.

One can see the growth and struggle of the character in the novel, be it teenage issues, academics, family issues, health problems and identity & innocence. It’s a ‘coming of the age” novel that is a bildungsroman novel and was also criticised by many after its publication due to certain sensitive content. It was part of the list of the 10 most frequently challenged books.

It’s a novel which will never go unnoticed and will never really grow old, it’s a must read for the youth of the present and the coming generations as it really takes you into a sphere of true reality which will move you.

Many of the themes be it reality, morality, maturity and responsibility or the three hoods (childhood, teenage-hood and adulthood) are very well portrayed in the novel giving it a realistic appeal and one can empathise with the character of the novel and his journey, the use of colloquial language makes it more fascinating.

Holden the protagonist in the novel is shown to be a free bird who goes along with the flow, he is shown to be true to his heart and immediately tries to fulfil his pleasures, it gives a real glimpse of the  American teenage life and the shortcomings which could happened with anybody, some instances might give you the chills some might make you pity his(Holden) poor condition, The novel really attracts the reader to read further it takes you till the end on an adventurous journey filled with ghastly and interesting events

In the end the novel does have a very vague ending and one definitely does not expect that kind of an ending after reading the whole novel, but the novel touches the reader in a way which would make the reader more cautious and precarious and hence it can give you a pang after reading the instances and shocks which Holden goes through at such a young age without being reliable on any person and does offer cues to life learning lessons.

Retirement from WWE – UNDERTAKER.

The finale of “the last ride” revealed the shocking statement of Taker of his retirement. He said he won’t be stepping back into the WWE ring, which eventually states he has taken an endless break from professional wrestling. He made his final announcement in “The Last Ride” documentary on WWE Network. “You can never appreciate how long the road was until you’ve driven to the end,” Calaway(his real name)tweeted. It has also been widely reported that Undertaker signed a 15-year contract with WWE, which he signed last year. Undertaker confessed “That extended contract is obviously not a contract that keeps me in the ring for 15 years. It keeps the brand at home, and there are a lot of ways that Vince thinks I can contribute to the company after my days in the ring are done.”

“Physically, it’s becoming harder and harder to do what I do. My mind is saying yes, but my body is saying, ‘Slow your roll.’ There’s got to be a time where I step aside. It’s a lot on my body to work even the limited schedule that I do. I still have young children, I need to think about them, too. I can’t do the things I used to do. But if my name is on the card, my goal is to try to go out and steal the show. I can’t go out and perform half-ass. Otherwise, I’m cheating somebody. Ultimately, I will be the one to make that decision.” The question is is he taking serious Retirement? 

Wrestling career.

He began his wrestling career in the year 1987 as gimmicks just to draw interest in World Class Championship Wrestling(WCCW). In 1990 he made a debut by signing with WWF and debuted as Kane the Undertaker on November 19, 1990. He continued gaining victories and fame. He debuted in WrestleMania on March 24, 1991, directly overthrowing “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka.

 He encountered González at WrestleMania IX, which turned out remarkable, Undertaker’s only disqualification win at WrestleMania after the use of chloroform. In 1994, champion Yokozuna locked The Undertaker in the casket with the contribution of other villainous wrestlers to win the match. The Undertaker rose from inside the casket on the video screen, representing his spirit, warning that he would return. The Undertaker did not appear in the WWF for about seven months after his defeat to Yokozuna. Though he was recovering from an injury during the time period.

The best matches in his career!

Obviously, a wrestler like him had uncountable impressive matches. He himself has revealed some best matches of his entire career. The Undertaker, in his documentary, talked about the four contests in his career that he is greatly delighted with. Surprisingly only two characters summed up into the list, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. “I have got a lot of moments in my career that I hold very near and dear to my heart and are very special to me with a lot of different guys. But, you know, no disrespect to anybody, I think overall what I’m most proud of as far as matches and storylines and all that, are the four matches that I had. The two with Shawn and the two with Triple H,” Undertaker admits. He further expanded “It wasn’t an organic moment that happened, it wasn’t planned. It was probably one of the special moments of my career, standing up there with those two guys, who I had the utmost respect for.”

According to the report, there will never be another Undertaker and also another match showing the WWE icon.
