The Iconic : Sachin Tendulkar

Image
Sachinnnnnnnnnnn........... Sachinnnnnnnnnnnnn............aala re aala sachin aala...... the stadium roared for 24 years when Sachin stepped down on the pitch to play for the Indian Team. Yesterday was different; people shouted for Sachin but with a heavy heart as finally the GOD OF Cricket had decided to end his journey of cricket by retiring from the test matches. At the age of 16 when Sachin for the first time played against Pakistan, less did he know that he would stand strong for 24 years despite all odds and would turn out to be the youngest iconic personality in Sports and an admirer for his contemporaries and juniors. A journey which he began on 15 th November 1989 came to an end on 16 th November 2013 followed by an emotional speech which left not him but the whole nation into tears. It was hard for every cricket lover to imagine that they will not be able to spot Sachin’s name in the league and now has to imagine cricket without him. His began his spe...

Rejuvenate your life with a SMILE

Image
“I was smiling yesterday, I am smiling today and I will smile tomorrow. Simply because life is too short to cry for anything.”   ―   Santosh Kalwar You can bring a smile on your face when you are contented, you can also smile when you don’t wish to, but a fake smile would do to make others pleased. A smile on the face is just a proof for others to show them that everything is bright in you haphazard life.... yes that is what you do... you crack jokes, you laugh aloud only when you are among your peer groups.... Can you recall when was the last time you saw yourself smiling in the mirror? AAAAAAAAHA... a tough one to think...... but nevertheless we all our trapped in the similar circumstances. Every day we wake up with handful of tensions and with new list of problems. It is a human behaviour when you see others smile and relaxed in their life, you feel jealous and that jealousy vanishes away the smile from your face. It happens because of the competitiveness...

Is Narendra Modi our next P.M. ?

Image
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. - Colin Powell After months of anticipation and discussions, BHARTIYA JANTA PARTY (BJP), announced Mr. Narendra Modi as the next PM candidate for 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Mr.Modi is being looked upon as a transformer of the largest democratic country of the world. India is looking for a man who is fearless; courageous and can withstand all odds even in the grimmest situations, and the Gujarat CM has all the qualities integrated in him.  In 2002, Modi faced a dark patch during the unfortunate Godhra riots in which several innocent lives were taken which paralysed the state government for a while. Later in the end of the year, Modi again won the state election which was a huge blow to its conspirators who wanted to get India a bad name on the bases of Hindu-Muslim riots. Good things do not happen overnight and it takes sheer hard work and determination and that is what Modi’s ...

Nirbhaya : A Courageous Soul

Image
Is it misdemeanour to be a girl? Is female foeticide the only option for would be parents when they come to know about the sex of their unborn child? “Kill your female child instead of bringing her into this malicious world” is what a devastated father of Damini says after hearing the court verdict against the juvenile. The horrendous crime which took place on the fateful day of 16 th December 2012, when a girl was brutally raped, murdered and thrown out of the bus, the first judgement came favouring the juvenile who was one of the five accused in the Delhi gang rape case. After eight months, when every citizen of India was waiting for a favourable judgement for Damini, the judiciary left the accused easily by punishing him only for 3 years in the reform centre. It was heart wrenching for the victims parents to see that the judiciary did not favoured them with justice. How would have they felt when they saw the murderer of their daughter walking so easily without ser...

How to dress up this monsoon?

Image
After the blazing heat, I can feel the cool breeze brush across my face. Like every year, I let my soul embrace this weather as I know it will take me another year to do the same. I have been tumbling in and out and finally I decide to move out to take pleasure in the rainy season of this year. Today’s fashion trends change according to the seasons and the same connotes for monsoons. As I walk, I see people wearing different attires that suits best in this weather, making me think to dress in the same when I move out again. Let’s take a guide of what to include and what to drop from your monsoon wardrobe: When you step out in rainy seasons, the road is enclosed with mud and muck, so it best to avoid denims and full-length trousers and to try on something three-fourths. If you are wearing some body- hugging outfits and are completely drenched in rain, it makes you feel irritable and sticky, so it is essential to step out wearing free-fitting clothes. Ku...

Donate Organs, Save Life

Image
An organised movement has always led tremendous support to a cause, it makes people aware about the grim situation that has been prevailing in our society and pushes them to come out of their domicile and join the bandwagon. The new cause which has come up as initiated by TOI (Times of India) is to help in gifting life to others. The leading newspaper had organised various programmes, activities and events to make sure that people come in large number to support Organ Donation Day which was held on 6 th August 2013. Times group, requested people to come in large numbers and to register themselves in www. I lead India.com an initiative taken by the organisation to donate their organs after death. India, being a religious country is always surrounded with numerous myths, fears and superstitions such as: "What if I donate a particular organ and I am born without it in my next birth? " This futile thought process makes people hesitant and narrow minded when it com...

A Shower of RAIN

Image
Rain... Rain.... bestow some reprieve from the scorching heat of summer, is all that we have been humming for quite some time. Finally, rain poured and the Delhiites rejoiced the weather. For some, drenching in the rain is the most upbeat way of experiencing the arrival of monsoon, but for others including me, sitting indoors and admiring at the scenic beauty of tiny droplets of water from the window pane is the ideal way of welcoming the monsoon. Along with rains follow various frenzied problems such as water logging which   gives way to long traffic jams, the filling up of severs which invites some unwelcoming diseases such as Malaria, Dengue and Jaundice to name some few. The government, when asked about the way it has been improving the basic amenities and its result is best shown in rains, remain numb and clueless. All Our CM has to say is, ‘There is nothing much we can do, all is that we can ask god to stop raining.’ AHHHAH... WHAT AN ANSWER TO CONCLUDE YOUR STATEM...

Surrogacy : New way, to a New Life

Image
In India, with the availing of medical infrastructure, a new door of anticipation has been opened for various childless couples. Gujarat is known for proving highest number of surrogate mothers to couples in India as well as in abroad. Many couples from abroad choose surrogate mothers from India because of the low cost involved in it. The couple who procures the womb of a surrogate mother has do go under a legal agreement which states that all the cost of the unborn child and the surrogate mother will be given by the couple. Under no circumstances, the surrogate mother can refuse to give the child to the couple. If in case the child is born with a disorder, the couple still has to accept the child. Surrogacy includes the genetics of the couple while the womb is of the surrogate mother. In this process, the sperm and the egg of the ‘would be parents’ is fertilized outside, and once it is done, it is then injected to the womb of the surrogate mother. Many contemporary actor...

An irony of our Society

Image
  Since centuries, India has been a patriarchal society and it still continues to be so. My first line can be agreed by some and disagreed by others and the choice is yours.... We as Indians claim, that the women’s in our society have come ahead far from what they were doing some three decades ago but still to my astonishment it is just one step ahead and not much has been changed. Even today, men are decision makers and the wifely needs to follow it, her opinion will be taken into consideration but the main verdict has already been decided. We live in an ironic society where goddesses are worshiped during navratras (a holy festival in India) girls are regarded as little devis during those ten days and blessings are seize d from them. If we look at another picture we will get to a disparate view. In states like Rajsthan, Punjab, Haryana and many more cities to name, the quotient of crimes like female feticide rapes, molestation and other heinous crimes against ...
