At the Heart of Lords
Yesterday at the iconic Lords Cricket Ground, I found myself watching my grandson practise with a DSC bat — his small hands wrapped around the handle, his focus unbroken. I turned to Michael, his coach, and asked a simple question:
“What could be improved in the Indian bat?”
Michael smiled. ‘Laksh, hold the bat in your left hand straight.’ As he did, the hand dropped.
Observation: The bat was heavy. Reasoning: A heavier bat tires the player early. The wood must be sculpted from the core — lightened — to help a batsman sustain a long, graceful innings.
It was a moment that blended physics, philosophy, and play. Energy — I realised — is not about strength. It is about sustainability.
The Energy Ball Revelation
A short while later, at the cafeteria, I spotted a jar labelled ‘Energy Balls.’ Curious, I asked, ‘What’s inside?’
‘Oats and maple syrup,’ came the reply.
I smiled. Healthy food, yes. But soul food? Perhaps not.
For me, the real ‘energy ball’ is a besan or sattu ka laddu, lovingly mixed with ghee, sugarcane jaggery, cinnamon, clove, and elaichi. A taste that revives memory — of my Punjab, of farms drenched in sunshine, of music that makes even fatigue dance away.
Energy, I thought, doesn’t come from calories alone. It rises from the alchemy of emotion — thoughts, memories, friendships, food, home, and harmony.
Energy is Quantum
Every thought, every feeling is a particle of energy. We can harness it — align it — just as a cricketer aligns eye, arm, and spirit to strike the perfect shot.
When we indulge in energetic sessions — whether through mindfulness, music, meditation, or mentorship — we awaken quantum principles that propel us toward our highest potential.
Imagine… Imagine… Imagine! Shedding limitation, embracing expansion — travelling through activation fields where thought becomes creation.
There is a palpable energy shift when we connect with our higher self. That’s when reality is not just lived, but redefined.
The Quantum Matrix and the Bowling Machine
At the nets stood a professional bowling machine — the Bola, a marvel of engineering. Two spinning wheels create speed, spin, and swing, controlled by precise electronics. It runs on a 12V battery or main power supply, generating force through calibrated motion.
That’s physics. But life’s physics are subtler — our own Quantum Matrix. When our internal controls (thoughts, emotions, diet, relationships) are aligned, the energy we generate becomes unstoppable.
To heighten our energy, we must synchronise — like the bat, the ball, and the bowler — the body, mind, and consciousness.
In Essence
Energy is not just consumed — it is cultivated. It is as much in the sattu laddu as in the spinning wheels of a cricket machine. It is as much in a child’s curiosity as in a scientist’s wonder.
So next time you think of energy — don’t just measure it. Feel it. Feed it. Flow with it.
