Dear Readers,

We have grown up reading and learning that change is the only constant, but when I look around the chaos this pandemic has created, it seems like we are back to square one. While the political drama and superficial social media buzz continues in the democratic setup, I feel the ray of hope is what keeps us going and this too shall pass. While social media influencers and content creators are being questioned for posting insensitive content, I feel that every coin has two faces and in this crucial hour, rather than playing the blame game, we all need to unite and serve mankind. As we celebrate the platinum issue of TMM with the man on rise, Ajinkya Rahane, we thought of furnishing our readers with everything that can keep them safe, healthy, and happy in this moment of global crisis. Thank you to each one of you for being an integral part of our mutual growth and I promise that we will keep pouring more and more innovative and informative content in the time to come. Till then, stay safe, stay healthy.

Enjoy Reading!

Man On The Rise Ajinkya Rahane

Oprah Winfrey once said, “Passion is energy.

Ajinkya’s success story is incomplete without his family and he affirms, “Life is pretty empty without the presence of an immediate family. Regardless of any success on the field, the truest moment of satisfaction always comes after spending time with family.” Today he feels content with everything he has achieved and believes that it is all about mental toughness, the ability to deal with unknown adversities, and perseverance that helps one make a mark in the highest level of the sport.
