Sports Comments Off on INDIA BEAT BANGLADESH – WC T20
India have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat when they defeated Bangaladesh by one run in the WC T20 match at Bangalore. Until the last over, Bangla Desh had the match well and truly in their control but they lost their nerves in in the last 3 balls of their innings. Needing just 11 runs in the last over to win the match but lost 3 quick wickets in the process. They needed just two runs of the last three balls when all hell broke loose and they could not score one run. Hritik Pandya was the bowler of that fruitful over. Read the rest of this entry »

Life Comments Off on BETIYAAN MAHAAN HOTI HAIN
Aaj yek kitni badi vidambana he ki ‘betiyon’ ko apna lekh ka vishey bana kar kehna pad raha he
bina jinke hum samaaj ki kalpana hi nahin kar sakte uski hum hatya kar rahe hain.
Durbhagya hai is desh ka ki jagah jagah ‘Beti Bachaao Bet Padhaao’ ki is vishay par charchay ho rahe hain.
Mitro, unke dil se poocho jin ke ghar aulaad nahin he?
Bhikari bun kar woh Mandir Masjid Gurudwaaron per ja kar aulaad ki bheek maangte hain.
Jin ke ghar do do bete hain, Ik din bhikhaari to woh phir bhi ban jaate. Is vishay ka main aage khulasa karta hoon.

Ek baar mere ghar aa ke to dekh,
Ek baar mujhe apna bana ke to dekh,
Tere liye Sudaama ban jaaoonga,

Rath nahin to kya, Santro mein ghumaaoonga,
Teri khaatir Arjun main ban jaaonga,
Ration bazaar nahin, Mall mein ghumaaoonga,
Ek baar tu mere ghar aa ke to dekh,
Ek baar mujhe apna bana ke to dekh.

Life Comments Off on THE PRECIOUS WIFE
Life sometimes gives you a test even before you have had the time to study the lesson. That is what happened to me. –
It was the 15th of Nov 1973 that I had got married and my wife stepped into my life.
She was a calm and composed person and full of laughter. She smiled even during adverse conditions and was able to make this world a better place for me. It was mainly due to her positive attitude that we actually lived life with lots of Love, Care and Share.
Affectionately, I used to call her Rani and believe me that she was indeed taken care of like a Queen.
And like any other married couple, we too used to quarrel a lot.
She was a simple down-to-earth girl whose ‘wants’ were very few. She never demanded anything from me and never complained about anything. She was God-fearing, educated, a double-Post-Graduate and she had had the knack of taking every situation in her stride. Read the rest of this entry »

Political Comments Off on THE SUITABLE PRESIDENT
Two months from now, the people of United States have to choose between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama as to who would become their President in Nov 2012.
Barack Obama at Democratic National Convention
The choice will come down to the person, who can create the much needed jobs to eradicate the unemployment problem, tackle the financial situation and bring the country out of the financial mess which Obama had inherited from the previous regime. [Too many problems (incl recession & job losses) created by Bush are unnecessarily being attributed to Barack Obama.]They will have to make a choice between ‘Govt. of the rich, by the rich for the rich’ as propagated by Romney & Paul Ryan – on one hand AND – a Government for upliftment of the masses as proposed by Obama – on the other.
