That was an epicness of performances!

Yes, finally a re-play of World Cup 1983 did happen. Our 28 years of wait gave us a performance that was spectacle of sheer outperforming best cricketing performances. "Our Men in Blue" created an epic chasing a first ever big target in the history of the World Cup. Our win yesterday was the first ever wining of World Cup by any country in their own home pitch. We won the finals because our "Men in Blue" collected guts & grits to out perform best performances. Chasing a score of 274, we realized what a captain's knock is all about. Yesterday we saw a great team play come alive at Wankhede stadium. This team play was also witnessed by our national leaders & politicians. If at all they are able to emulate an iota of this, India can witness the Indian politics shedding away some of the muck off their sleeves. Yesterday was an outpour of frenziness of our patriotism. As Dhoni hit that winning shot, the spontaneity of excitement and emotion

"Bleed Blue"..Pledge to WIN...

We won the semi finals at Mohali. For all of us defeating Pakistan was more of an emotional excitement than the thrill of winning the match. Tomorrow at Mumbai, when we will play Sri Lanka, it will be an action re-play of world cup finals 1983. Saturday when our 'Men in Blue' take the bat they will remain hungry for runs. They will play the balls in the gaps for 1's and 2's, they will sweep the balls for 4's, they will hit the ball for flying 6's. They will never turn desperate in judging the ball, they will remain alert in not allowing the ball to hit their pads before hitting the bat. Saturday when our 'Men in Blue' get into the field they will get their legs,feet and body right behind the ball.They will never fail to judge the flight of the ball when going for a catch. They will maintain perfect and lethal variation in line,length and pace while delivering the overs. Saturday when our 'Men in Blue' play Sri-Lanka we the people will be appl

At Mohali winning will matter the most....

One thing is certain, when we play the world cup finals, it will not be against Pakistan. Therefore winning will never matter to us as much as it will matter to us tomorrow. Today & tomorrow every Indian through out the world will be fervently praying for the "Men in Blue" to win the semi-finals at Mohali. When playing against Pakistan cricket for us becomes an emotional re-play. We did feel with time the hurt of partition will heal. However the 26/11 episode has left us all in a state of uncontrollable emotional turmoil that we will never be able to get over with. For our politicians and national leaders Mohali semi-finals may remain an opportunity to play political diplomacy. Knowing the politicians we do can fear the extent to which they can fall to meet their political agenda. However we the Aaam Aadmi will go all out to cheer & support to the hilt our "Men in Blue" Tomorrow we may start our day chewing our nails in anxiety but one thing is

Let everyday be a Happy woman's day..!

We as a society in general remain unconcerned about the life and plight of woman in this country. Our attitude towards woman has hardly made any markable change. Be it a mother, be it a daughter, be it a sister, be it a wife, we still remain prejudiced about equal rights. There is still a long way to cover before we see ourselves giving them their right to be their own self. We talk of woman's safety, yet when a woman remains engulfed in flames for not bringing dowry we simply become bystanders watching the bizarre. When she is raped and torched in the crowded streets, all that we do is to show our annoyance over the disgusting state of law & order. Neither as individuals nor as members of so called 'sane society' we ever try to curb our insane behavior and attitude towards woman. However we still have the cheeks enough to tom tom our concerns for the safety of woman. We are a society of hypocrites who believe in setting aside a day out of the 365

Mr.PM it's time to play a Captain's knock..!

When the team is on sticky wickets and the players are batting on a bouncy pitch, holding on to the wickets and pitching for time becomes crucial. Not going for runs doesn't matter. If your team's performance score card is a story of miss fielding, loose deliveries, it is time for the captain to step in to play the captain's innings. Blaming the 2G scam as evils of collision politics,the PM attempted to cover drive his responsibility. As a consequence the entire winter session of the parliament became a colossal waste of tax payers money. However the eventual setting up of JPC was simply an act of demonstrating his back foot drive to save the govt getting flicked up at slips This has averted the Budget session from being a match abandoned. We are yet to know if the on-going budget session will end up being technically a match drawn or face saved. However for sure we now know that the captain is now on the striking end Of late and at last our judiciary seems

Not bad Pranab da..!

It is but obvious that no opposition party will come to compliment the government in power for a job well done. What holds for NDA today will remain true for UPA if the roles get reversed tomorrow. The role of the opposition party in this country is simply to counter the move without reading the merits. The only time when in the history of Indian Parliament the entire 524 members were unanimous was when, it came to supporting the bill for raising the emoluments of MPs threefold. It is therefore normal and expected to find the opposition bench criticizing the union budget for 2011-2012. Aam Aadmi does not know what is deficit financing and how it will hit his means. He is happy that the IT exemption limit has been raised to 1.80 lac from existing 1.60 lac. He is excited to realize that he can at least now visualize an approximative saving of Rs 9500 PA. He is happy that custom duty and excise duty has not been touched. He is optimistic that now he can utilize his 'v

An itch called "MONEY"..

I am a law abiding Indian citizen. To me my national flag is not just a face mask worn at the time of world cup. For me my national anthem is much more than the martial tune 'sare jahan se acha'. Casting my vote is both my right and my responsibility. By the way I come from a society that is more known for its spending power than its quality of ever remaining a mute spectator.The credit for this goes to none other than the ex-president of America...Mr.Bush... Democracy seems to have given our politicians the fundamental freedom to use their political wisdom to unleash scams and corruptions to ensure wealth creation for self & the party. Instead of accounting for facts they remain all bent for cremating creditability. The ruling party's stubbornness in not allowing forming a joint parliamentary committee(JPC) to probe scams is an ample proof that they neither want the Pandora's box opened, nor they want to betray the tons of skeletons crowding their cu
