I never heard of this score!

            This post is dedicated to the cricket lovers of this country. I am done with it; for the era has passed where my favourite players were playing for India. And I am not that kind of follower who loves cricket more than cricket player. For me, cricket player’s technique, his overall outlook, his class, consistency, was more important than cricket itself. So once the player is gone; cricket was gone for me.

            Guys this news really brought smile on my face for the moment as I went straight in my childhood when we would play sort of ‘gully cricket’ on anyday and sometimes a full game won’t last more than half an hour. Or a team would hardly stand full 10 over’s match. Score would be funny and chase would often become funnier.

North eastern girls: Aliens in own motherland


Aren't we proud of  Mary Com the lady boxer of india from same
 part of country which brings most glory to India in Asiad 10.
Few of us take thing for granted. Unfortunately the percentage is so big that I don’t want to attack on anybody on it personally.
It is about the attitude of rest of the Indians specifically the north Indian, for the Indians who are from the north eastern part of India. How shameful for us that we see the same Indians from two different aspects? Same country and one rates the equally qualified citizen as the second rated citizen. The trauma, North Eastern people go through in their own motherland leaves a serious question leaves to us the so called the “Real Indians”: Isn’t their demand for a separate country is not justified when the rest of India treats them like aliens in the country?

Last day a north eastern woman was raped in the “capital of rape of India” in an auto. The discriminations I have seen with them in my college day, the attitude I find in my fellow north Indian citizen for the people of seven sister states is enough to bow my head in shame.

Mandate Bihar: One tight slap to Congress and RJD-LJP

Nitish Kumar: Hum to jeet gaye guru; Aaapka haal aisa hoga socha na tha!
Even though the results of complete 243 seats of Bihar assemble are not out yet, NDA led by Mr. Nitish Kumar has already wrote on the wall: a land sliding victory, a never before mandate from the people of Bihar. A state which was always rated as Rawanda, Somalia and Haiti for rest of the Indian states and for which people would aused while saying this “ Bihar hai yaar! Kuch nahin ho sakta” and in the same Bihar I am writing about, till these lines been written; NDA has won clear majority in the house.
These results have very strong signals hidden. Lessons, the idiot politicians of this country are hardly willing to learn. Lesson which if understood properly could rule out any growth for the politicians who play Religion/ cast/ politics and who are corrupt upto the neck. Anyway, though the exit polls had already predicted the victory for NDA but the margin will be so much; did anybody think? Or may be they thought, were the organizers of exit polls were willing to show the defeat of Congress with required extreme courage? Remember Lalu Yadav few days back when he was fuming on the results on exit polls?Perhaps first time in history of Bihar when there was not a single incident of booth capturing/ firing/ other intentional mishaps except one on the last day of polls when a bomb exploded in a village planted by Maoist ( Only Arundhati Roy would justify perhaps why the bomb was planted), thus I want to congratulate to Mr. Nitish Kumar led NDA as well as the people from Bihar not just for the completion of election but few of the trend they clearly shown on these elections:

1. They proved that Dynasty ruling won't work any more.

Now here so called charismatic leaders won’t find big rooms enough to hide themselves behind the walls. One such leader who is being projected as the next prime minister of India by Congress could just MANAGED a single figure victory for Congress in Bihar. What a charisma you have had over the people Mr. Rahul Gandhi as I am told be those media newsreaders all these years and I am personally astonished to see the massive support behind you and your party in Bihar.

Indian Army sharing dais with corrupt politicians.

It is a bright morning here in Mumbai. At last; the rising Sun here makes me feel that it must be cold in north India in these early hours of the day. It is still hot in Mumbai, God knows when will winter knock. Personally I miss the winter of uttarakhand; the extreme cold when you can’t stop yourself sitting idle for hours in the cozy mornings and late in evenings with hot cups of tea time and again.

On leave for two weeks it feels great when you damn care what time you leave bed. But the tragic part is that such days are only numbered whereas most of the life, you keep on fighting for your rights and growth opportunities, which most of the people do legally whereas few illegally.

This morning it was very sad while going through “Times Of India” Mumbai edition. The place in the newspaper which proudly and exclusively meant for the politicians on this country had to make place for the once coveted general of Indian Army.

Tawang IAF helicopter crash: A scar forever.

All dreams crashed in these densed forests of Arunachal Pradesh
 for the families of Prahlad, Apendra and other onboard.
It is a bit personal. Don’t even know should I add it in the blog or not but this is something I wish I had not heard of or perhaps few of my friends could find solace here.

In a delighted though of being on leave for next few days when I was planning my leave at 1 o’clock at noon this day, two of my colleagues were trying to defy the ultimate truth; the death at an altitude of perhaps 4 kilometers mid air. Up an altitude to more than 4000 meters in the extreme east of India, on a routine maintenance sortie in Mi-17 Helicopter of Indian Air force in Arunachal Pradesh when the chopper crashed. Arunachal Pradesh is a state of India about which rests of the Indians only know about; they know China, yet, for me it is a different story.

Reality show in India: India minus one life!

      As I have written in my earlier articles as well; there are so many people around, who in the name of liberty for anything, don’t hesitate or do anything or say anything! One such prominent name recently I quoted was Ms. Arundhati Roy and in this chain the other name which was bound to add was of Rakhi Sawant; sooner or later!

      Just going through the TV last night and newspapers this day I am shocked for someone took his own life because of the drama and scene created by this loudmouth dump who strongly believes that “ Jo dikhta hai wo Bikta hai” and who did not care that she should be knwoing what she was saying. Poor Laxman Prasad could not digest the humiliation from drama queen Rakhi Sawant on a show named “ Rakhi Ka Insaaf” ( Justice by Rakhi) and took his life within a week after appearing on the doomed TV. What a tragic end for someone who could not make out difference between reality and acting.

With love from Pakistan.

In the neighbouring country, it seems that every individual, from Ex president to an ordinary citizen, is obsessed with a single though for last 60 years. Even an Indian living far in Kanyakumari can feel that rotten, pungent smell of anger, frustration, hate, envy from the winds blowing from North West of India.
Sometimes often I wish to thank Pakistan for their promise to themselves to bleed India till death. It is kind of situation for us; you keep your things inaccessible from the rats at your home and house remains in order. As I said, Pakistan must be thanked for there relentless efforts to keep us in alert situations. Be it the border or the sponsored terrorism in India, we are forced to be vigilant round the clock.
That is the reasons for no love lost between two countries who had a common past but; future is certainly a distinguished one. The fools must be living in paradise who advocate for the friendship between us and they. They are living their Utopian dreams. One such prominent name is ‘Times of India along with “Jung” group who believe in friendship between the people across the borders. God knows how they must be generating revenues with this ‘Aman Ki Asha”?? The caption itself sounds funny; appears me as a marriage between some groom Aman with bride Asha!!
A common Pakistani won’t ask for friendship nor would a true Indian step forward until unless they forget Kashmir and terrorism respectively.
As I said earlier they shared a common past but futures have altogether going to be a different story. Within one year you would further listen the news thousand bomb blasts in Pakistan executed by some home grown fanatic groups and you may listen thousand Billion Dollar investments in India and who knows a UNSC seat!

Thank you Barack Obama for instilling confidence in US!

There could have not been any better sweet in this Deepawali for India other than these words of United State’s president Mr. Barack Obama “The just and sustainable international order that America seeks includes a United Nations that is efficient, effective, credible and legitimate, That is why I can say today - in the years ahead, I look forward to a reformed UN Security Council that includes India as a permanent member”
Perhaps these were the words we could have waited for another dozens of years for I have been watching Indian leaders pleading for a permanent seat in the United Nation Security council on behalf of we the Indians; which went to deaf ears for years till the day arrived finally when the saccharin flew from the second most powerful man on the planet in favour of us.
I did not summarised  the overall  achieved objectives  of India, till last day when I happen to visit a jealous neighbour’s newspaper webpage which made me realized that we had struck gold.
As Ben Rhodes, a deputy US national security advisor, says  that the intention of the United States was clear, and based on India’s emerging role as a great strategic, economic and democratic power. This implies that the present president visit was not mere a business visit as most of the Indians had anticipated including me. He gifted us more than the expectations. A possible UNSC seat, Pakistan bashing, No Kashmir mediation,  technological support, love for Indianism, praise for Indian spirit what else we could have asked for from a guest?
Though the permanent seat seems a distant one dream but; at least the ball seems rolling  now after the assuring words from Barack Obama; who further implies to the emerging India as a force to reckon with and  Mr. President himself  admits  that  "In Asia and around the world, India is not simply emerging; India has already emerged,"
Those were the convincing words from a already convinced powerful entity; for years we have been begging for a recognition which we understood only in the recent years that it is only your deeds; karmas which lead you to the point which further lets you know what the destiny has for you to offer. Today when the US is convinced that we have finally emerged; the journey ahead is not as easy as it looks; as Obama does not forget to add "with increased power comes increased responsibility," and he is absolutely right.

Roaring lions from Gir with Amitabh Bachchan

           How many of us know about ‘Gir Forest national park’? Many of us even don’t where it is. Many of us even don’t care so I won’t waste my time in telling that it falls in south east of Junagarh. Now please do ask where Junagarh is. This time I really don’t have time.

Anyways, congratulations to Mr. Amitabh Bachchan  and CM of Gujarat Mr. Narendra Modi for their joint efforts that the sanctuary is able to draw more than expectations response from the tourists and  that sanctuary is completely booked for the fortnight till November 15. This is a record in the last 15 years for this only abode of the Asiatic lion has finally witnessed some activities around it. The roar of lions along with superstar Amitabh Bachchan in the Gujarat Tourism campaign has definitely brought one more good news for Mr. Modi who must be celebrating his land sliding victory in recent local municipal elections in Gujarat.
