Hooliganism in the name of morals.....

Please do watch this video on the blog……

I always believed I belong to a country where women are respected and treated as goddess.....looking at the video in which women in a pub were mercilessly beaten by some idiots (called moral police) made me realize how wrong i am....this is not a isolated incident but a manifestation of times we live in...We have a Sri Ram Sena in every nook and corner of our country

I hope and pray tat our country becomes a superpower in its deeds and not in words... where women are placed at the same pedestal as men....

Stumped...true face of modern day television media

Stumped by my name
By Kiran Tare

Cricket is my passion. I used to play a lot of cricket in school and college days. Today, despite a busy schedule I spare some time to play cricket (thanks to the internet). But I never expected there would be a time when someone will ask my comments as a cricket expert.

Last week, one fine morning, I got a call on my mobile phone. "Kiran Sir, J bol raha hoon ........ (a news channel) se," the caller introduced himself. I was not surprised as normally a lot of TV reporters call me asking for someone's contact number. "Bolo bhai", I replied in my trademark style to such calls. The guy informed me that Sachin Tendulkar had not been featured in the ICC's top 20 one day players.

I was unaware that ICC had released such a list of top players. I casually said, "Sachin
did not play much one-dayers last year. So it is possible that he is not in the top 20."

J corrected himself and said, "Sir, the list is about test players and Mathew Hayden has been rated above Sachin." I was surprised and said, "Sachin should be in the list at the top."

Happy with my comments, J asked me to hold the line for a minute. For next two minutes I heard music on the phone. During that time, I switched on the TV and turned to the news channel in question to see what the list was about.A special programme criticising theICC's rankings was being aired .

Suddenly, I heard the anchor's voice on my TV set and the mobile at the same time. She asked, "Kiranji kya aapko lagta hain, Sachin ke saath anyay hua hain?" I was completely stunned with the question. I did not think that J will put me on for the phone.
It was surreal. I realised that something had gone wrong. So I did not reply to her question. She repeated the question and I again remained silent. Frustrated she said, "Lagta hain purva cricketer Kiran More se hamara sampark tut gaya hain."

I could not stop laughing after hearing her remarks. I do not know whether they contacted the real Kiran More and got his comments, but I certainly lost my 15 seconds of fame.

I remember Kiran More mostly for his three jumps like a frog teasing Javed Miandad in a World Cup match in Australia. Now, I feel I also should jump in the same manner teasing myself for not being a cricketer. At least, there will be some kind of similarity between us apart from the name, Kkkkkiran.

So guys next time you hear someone's voice on television he/she might not be whom you think he/she is......

Where do i go?

Corporate Governance Issues...fradulent promoters....bears on the rampage.....results one which fails to understand and comprehend...Where does a poor analyst go??????

Letter written by President Obama to his daughters

US President Obama and his family


Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country-but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free-that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.

That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better-and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much-although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

Love, Dad

WISH WE HAD MORE POLITICIANS LIKE HIM IN INDIA

The great hope of the world and his inspiration

President Barack Obama....The guy who the world is betting on is being sworn tommorow...he has said that the great Abraham Lincoln was his inspiration...Find below a letter which Abraham Lincoln wrote to the headmaster of the school in which his son was studying...very thoughtful and inspiring.....

A letter written by Abraham Lincoln to the Headmaster of a school in which his son was studying. It contains an advice, which is still relevant today for executives, workers, teachers, parents and students.

A WORD TO TEACHERS

"He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just and are not true. But teach him if you can, the wonder of books.. but also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun and flowers on a green hillside.

In school, teach him it is far more honorable to fall than to cheat.....

Teach to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him he is wrong.

Teach him to be gentle with gentlepeople and tough with the tough.

Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone getting on the bandwagon...

Teach him to listen to all men; but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good that comes through.

Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad... Teach him there is no shame in tears.

Teach him to scoff at cynics and to be beware of too much sweetness.. Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to highest bidders, but never to put a price on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob.. and stand and fight if thinks he is right.

Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. Let him have the courage to be impatient.. Let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will have faith in humankind.

This is a big order, but see what you can do. . He is such a fine little fellow my son!

- Abraham Lincoln"

Chandni chowk to hell.....

If there ever was a competition to "Ramgopal Varma ke Sholay" in the category of "Worst Movies in Bollywood" this is the movie one i would say can compete with it and give it a run for its money....

"Singh is King" pales in comparison to this movie in terms of non stop nonsense...The movie tries to swing between being a all out masala entertainer to a spoof and ends up being a over budget mess. In the bargain wat you get is a severe headache and feel like tearing you hair in desperation.....

Even though Akshay Kumar ably tries to save the movie with his timing and funny acts(they manage to enact a few laughs) but he too finds it difficult to carry a movie on his shoulders with more complexity and zero content...Deepika and Ranvir Shourey do shine in some parts...and not to forget Mithun Da who does his invincible acts in his typical style....

Dont want to talk about the story as it is one of the worst written screenplays i have ever seen....music and songs are also not worth writing about...

I am sure the only show which will be houseful is the one which i watched in (as the tickets were free and no one knew how bad the movie is..)

Please don't watch this movie unless you want to experience real bad visual and verbal diarrhoea....Don't spend on this movie...instead donate it for some good cause...

Aye Raju...kya kiya

Satyam's Ramalingam Raju

Everyone knows what he has done to the investors, entire IT industry and Indian industry as a whole...

Just a question....

If every crime has a motive....every confession has a bigger motive....worth pondering?

What made Raju confess? Is he being made a scapegoat for some bigger names?

Happy new year

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous new year..may the new year bring all of us the peace of mind which we all desire and help us achieve our goals and ambitions....
