I am coming ....

It's 21st Jan today and I have my flight to India on 25th Jan evening.
Getting little enthusiastic on thinking of going to India (though on a holiday )... Its more than 8 months now, being away from India. Just want to go home, meet my family and friends over there and have some relaxed time away from the hectic schedules in Ipswich.

It would be good as I would be away from the office for almost 2 weeks ;-) and free to roam around to the places I want to. I would be in Kolhar, Nashik , Pune and Mumbai for a little time. Just looking forward to land in Mumbai in the 26th (Republic Day Of India)...

I am coming ....

I always believed there are two kind of men in this life ....

"I always believed there are two kind of men in this life one who go to death screaming and second who goes to death in silence today I met third kind.....(go to death laughing)".

Those lines say it all...

I wrote 2 paras after those lines and again deleted it... Couldn't write anything correct while thinking about these lines...

Just want to say : Hats off to those who go to death laughing ...

My inner feeling : India has lost the test series ...

India lost the first test match against Aussies. That's the 15th straight win for Aussies and I feel there would be many more in this tour.


I feel that India has the test match series already by showing a poor batting performance (Should it be called performance ???)... Team ponting defeated India easily and they will continue to burden India under heavy scores again in coming matches.

Getting bored to see such a poor batting by Indians...
Lets hope for something good... else.... Aussies are ready to set new Records !!!

Can Indian Batsmen stand tall against Aussies today ...

I always wondered, if India can win a series against Aussies in their homeland. I know they are the world number 1 and don't give up anything so easily. Still as an lover of Indian cricket, I would love to see India winning against the Aussies ...

Now also , just few hours to start the 4th days play in the 1st test , I feel can the top batsmen lead India to a sensational win in this test match. Being very optimistic while writing this, but can't help myself. Indian batsmen have proved good against Aussies in the last tour that they can bat under pressure and win the match too.

Can Laxman / Ganguly / Sachin / Rahul / Dhoni do the miracle for the Captain Jumbo 'Kumble' ???

Just waiting for the match to start in some time... Can Indian batsmen prove they are good enough to face the killing attack of Aussies...

Or it would be another comfortable 4th day win for Ricky Ponting ???

Lets keep an eye on the happenings ;-)

Maharashtra : Farmers dying... Airport for President to visit her hometown !!!

Its just another news in India .... just another day...
An airport is sanctioned and might come up within a year or so, at the President's hometown, Amravati. Amravati is a district in rural part of India... A simple reason behind building a new airport in Amravati ... The President visiting her hometown 4-5 times in a year ... and the poor infrastructure not capable of handling all the force which will be there due to president's visit. Also, she has to travel from Nagpur to Amravati by car or helicopter as that's the nearest airport.
Almost 400 crore rupees being spent on the development project. Amravati city never would have imagined to have an airport so early in the phase of development...

But where's the real development... No big companies, no big industries, no large plants surrounding Amravati... still does it really need an airport worth 400 crores... ???
Can't this money put into the development and building other infrastructural facilities like road to villages, saving farmers from dying...
Yes, more and more number of farmers are committing suicide in Vidharbha, Maharashtra than any other part on India...Those farmers surrendering to death are under a big burden of loans and borrowing made from private lenders and banks too. There are no special facilities and aid for them to be in the mainstream of the society...
The farmers are dying since last 4-5 years and it always has been a big issue when elections come and the issue is always forgotten other times. So simple for the politicians and administration to neglect a big and important issue.

Can this change ? Can the farmers be stopped from committing suicide ???
I hope a day will arrive... a day when things will be different.... The administrators will pay attention to the farmers and their problems... There will be prosperity and development in this region of Maharashtra.
I don't want the 400 crores spent on an unnecessary airport just to make President's visits more comfortable.... I want this funds to be used for the basic needs of the farmers and then for the development further...

I Hope.... The day will come !!!

Salaam .... Aye pyar teri pehli najar ko salaam !!!

Aye pyar teri pehli najar ko salaam ...

Watching 'Ek duje ke liye' in my hall on Rajshri.com online...
A nice song, clear clarity movie, an official website to watch...
Really, Rajshri.com has some good movies published in past, though very limited collection at the moment.. Still its a good choice rather than watching a pirated DVD copy kind of movie on a XYZ website.

'Ek duje ke liye...' : A typical love story but told in a different way and style.Certainly a good movie to watch anytime.
So let me enjoy my movie and bye bye for now :-) Do find some time to watch the movie 'Ek duje ke liye'
