Clash Of The TITANS



            Ohh please!!!!!! Don’t u even dare to think, it has got  anything to do with India versus Australia  just concluded, TEST CRICKET. After viewing India’s dismal performance in the test series(in Australia), I’m not gonna inculpate TEAM INDIA (at least for now)…Had it been about that, my header would have then read “The Demolition Of Titans”  However, if you thought so, one thing still remains common..The place “ AUSTRALIA”.....

            ‘Miraculous’, one of the banners read in the audience(s) and so it was. For those who haven’t got me yet, I’m talking about the AUSTRALIAN OPEN (especially, the last two semi-finals(men)) …how marvelous the past two days have been,for the Australian open n not to forget , to the TENNIS LOVERS…..Top four seeds in the the world of tennis(men’s category), playing out each other to reach the pinnacle of the tournament, yes, the Finals, battling out injuries, immense pressure and  the burgeoning expectations…Both the semi-finals (nadal vs federer and novak vs murray) were breathtaking, irresistible and pleasure to watch…..

            With, every other shot, every next game n every followed set, there was either a applauding  wowww….or a crying ohhh!!!!(In case my fav missed any point). But the kind of passion and spirit with which, the games were being played, by all of them, is hugely commendable. it has, innocuously , bolstered the  sport probity in a true sense …..

            Finally, the top two (novak n nadal), n the best, have made it to the finals..... Let’s see, who walks away with this grand slam title, adding another feather to his cap. So, remain tuned, to-morrow, at 2 pm…to re-view the “Clash Of The Titans” 
           
By the way…whom r u supporting?????

THE DWINDLING DILEMMA - A Ray Of Hope


                                                                       
   It is  in the years before  aug 1947 ,where we actually find examples  of perfect  congregation  of people from all cross-section of societies ,who had devoted themselves  for a common cause—which was then “INDEPENDENCE”. The next such mass movement or protest (at least for the generation of my age)that caught  the eyeballs of every individual  was “INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION” movement led by shri ANNA HAZARE. Everything  went off well, from a behemoth  public support , to politicians actually feeling  the anger burgeoning  within each n every individual  regarding the far-stretched  corruption  in public life  which further goaded them to pass the sense of the house, as a promise that the recommendations proposed by TEAM ANNA would be seriously considered while drafting the LOKPAL BILL.

               However, TEAM ANNA took everything for granted from there on, even sometimes seeming procrustean, which somewhere, down the line, hampered their   image n movement. Though, TEAM ANNA began the campaign as a totally unbiased political movement,  they  ended up  scathing only the ruling party for sabotaging the passage of the LOKBAL BILL 2011 in the upper house in the winter session(although it is the prerogative of the entire parliament to pass the legislation), appearing biased and flummoxed to a great extent. Further, their  decision to campaign only against CONGRESS(as they are in power) in the coming elections in the five states drew more flak as it somewhere lent  credence to the burgeoning views that they  are working in alliance  with the left parties(especially BJP N RSS). This in turn, combined with the tepid response that TEAM ANNA received during their last protest (going along with parliament proceedings ) at MUMBAI, enfeebled  the whole movement, as described by many.

            But then, drowning the confusions n  realizing the ethics, essence n probity of a national movement, TEAM ANNA decided in a haste not to put the complete onus on the ruling party for the debacle of  LOKPAL BILL and said it would abstain from campaigning against CONGRESS, albeit, it was their major play card earlier….

                 Having decided this, it seems the dilemma surrounding the TEAM ANNA, on further course of actions, is ebbing away fast and in true sense should be carried forward to embolden the ANTI-CORRUPTION MOVEMENT in a concerted manner to make people realize, the importance of such campaigns, their moral responsibility towards our democracy and the  need of a strong mechanism which can work as a panacea  to treat the malady of CORRUPTION…………..

FLAK and APPRECIATION


                                               
Many a time, we work hard. Sometimes harder. A few times, much harder… certainly to reach the pinnacle of our desired objectives n ultimately to achieve them. These objectives can be our short-sighted goals with reference to any particular activity or childhood determination…
Apart from our diligent efforts, two major entities that guide us towards our objective are “Flak n Appreciation”. Appreciation, no wonder, is always heartily welcomed…bcz it always boosts up our  self confidence n  natural probity…  n also equips   us with name n fame(in some respect), but, even then we virtually understand what v have achieved.. .
However, criticism provides better insight to our objectives. I think, Rather than just highlighting our accomplishments, it makes us realize, what we were expected of, n what v have actually come up with  in reality, underlining the  feeble conclusions, of our work ,which would have remained concealed or far-fetched ,in case  of  modicum  of   appreciation….          in fact, I  would  not   hesitate    to  call                          “FLAK” -----“an APPRECIATION”…..
What do you think?????????

RESOLUTION

As soon as the celebrations ,crackers n much more marks the beginning of a new year,many of us come across a very common and noble question(atleast for them if not for u):what's your resolution?
the "Resolution" has always been associated with the commencement of new year(especially now-a-days).To put up from my side,i believe it may be bcz v many a time refrain from some of our desired objectives n look for other alternatives to score over them ,thus pushing them to abeyance..however,when v have fribbled up enough & when v find ourselves flummoxed,our quest for another alternative(obviously the best)to reconvene the still kept abeyant objective begins..n there comes "The NEW YEAR"..
but does this concealment of Resolution only with new year the only way,to achieve ur still kept abeyant objective?definately not.Resolutions are basically made with the objective,to strengthen or to develop your ability or urself in a particular field uu have been longing for in a best possible etiquette.the day 1 decides,he/she has to do this,that should mark the beginning of a new year,rather than just frittering away time in wait for a new year to begin..
So,letzz push ourselves up,to a new level,to join the pool of KNOCKING COMPETITORS..n to certainly come out as WINNERS....
MAY THE COMING DAYS BRING UU ALL MUCH MORE GOOD HEALTH WITH  LOTS OF LUCK N LOT OF WEALTH...HAPPY NEW YEAR..
by the way...whatzz ur resolution????
