Knowledge brings Sorrow; Ignorance is Bliss. The wise prefer Knowledgeable Sorrow to Blissful Ignorance !
Milton anthropomorphised Sorrow as a Goddess. Hail ! Thou Goddess, sage and holy / Hail divinest Melancholy / Whose saintly visage is too bright / To hit the sense of human sight !
About the Lord who gives Sorrow to his devotees , Shakespeare said ” this Sorrow is Heavenly / It strikes where it doth love / ” . The reflection of the Biblical ” Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth ” !
Satan says in Paradise Lost. If you folllow HIm, you can be a waiter in Heaven. If you follow me, you can be a Director. It is better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven ! ( Milton was born blind and suffered a lot. Hence he was angry with God ! )
The voice of Satan in Paradise Lost is Milton’s own, craving for Liberty and abhorring the absolute monarchy of God !
Abhimanyu is a prolific scorer in domestic cricket, where he is in tremendous form, as these stats declare, but has managed only 36 runs in 4 innings against Aus A !

In red ball cricket, we are facing a problem. The experienced are not in top form. Those who are in form lack experience. One man exists who has both. It is in the interest of Indian batting that he be recalled. Like Jaisimha 54 years ago, who salvaged Indian batting in Australia with scores of 74 and 101 ! His age may be 36, but his services are needed.
