Dark Side Of INDIA......................


India is an incredilble country.All Indians should be proud of being an Indian.This is what all politicians,leaders say.But theres a dark side of this country.It is so dark that even light gets darker...This dark side of India is called CORRUPTION....It is a cancer which is now destroying our beautifull country....

This article is in reference with CNN IBN's Investigation Program called CITIZEN X....In this program the journalist uncovers the hidden dark truth of India.The journalist created a fictional character named Anand Kumar Gupta and made him acquire a genuine Indian passport, a PAN card, a ration card, a driving license and a genuine birth certificate.It took just 45 days to obtain these documents with help of middlemen or touts.Every document has its price and if it is given to these men then they will provide the original documents.And the important thing is the price of getting the originals varies according to the level of risk involved and it is bargainable.Here some of the price tags for obtaining the fakes.......

Indian passport = Rs 7,500
Ration card cost = Rs 800
Voter ID card = RS 1,800
Driving license = RS 2,500
Birth certificate = Rs3,000

All this is possible because of our corruput system.The middlemen agreed in front of the cameras that they need to bribe the officers who are responsible for issueing the concerned papers.These officers range from small clerks to the top officials.The middle men have openly admitted that they have to give money to the office people so that they give the green signal to the papers without even scrutinising the documents.All this is not happening in a remote village of our country its happening in the heart of our country...its happening in our country's capital city DELHI.....

Shocking huh but this is the reality.Now the court has got the evidences so what they are going to do .......

Will these officers be suspended?

Will they be charged under criminal case?

If punished, what will be the quantum of the punishment for those involved?

What is the next step forward for this????????????

No one knows the answers for these questions .

But if we think that we should really want to do something for our country's betterment then we shall write the answers for these questions.......Confused of what i am trying to say ah?

Hmmm let me put this way...If you were given the authority to punish these people what will you DO????????????

After all this is our country .It is our responsible to clear the weeds and make this country a BEAUTIFUL GARDEN..................

Never in 80 years of Indian History............:-(


Gone are the days when people used to wonder whether Dyan Chand had any glue in his stick because of the magic he did in the hockey field................

Gone are the days when the very sight of Dhanraj Pillai created a commotion and fear in the enemy camp in the hockey field............

And few years later an new line would be added to this and it will be , 'Gone are the days when Indian team easily qualify for the Olympics..............'.

It is the black day for Indian Hockey .Never in the 80 years of Olympic history India has failed to qualify.Infact India holds 8 Olympics medals in the Hockey Discipline.The last won medal was in 1980 Olympics.But the now India has not even got a entry ticket into the Olympics.

The qualifiers for Beijing Olympics held in Chile and only the winner of the tournament will be qualified for the Olympics.India reached the final there they faced the Great Britain , which has defeated India in the preliminary matches itself.Britain defeated India by a margin of 2-0. A good coordination earned them the first goal and a penalty corner gave them the second.

Though India had penalty corners awarded to them they did not convert it into goals, the same old problem for Indian hockey team. There was no commitment by the players. They didnt show any longing to play well.

If this continues then India will be no longer in the world hockey map.Chakde India ,a film based on Indian hockey was made and the inspirational song from that movie is now a days used in the cricket field for their celebrating their success.Many hockey fans in India want to hear it in the hockey field but its not happening. This scar will remain in history forever.

Dhanraj Pillai said that the ultimate goal for any hockey player will be a Olympic gold medal.But now the same team which had Dyan Chand , Dhanraj Pillai and many other greats have failed to qualify for the Olympics..........

Sachin scores his first century............



Sachin Tendulkar scores his first century!!!!!!!!!

On seeing this many of you will be thinking that i have written this post in the early 90's.But not this is news of 2008. Sachin atlast scored his first ODI hundred in (probably his last tour) Australia.He silenced his critics who questioned his talent because of the fact that he has not scored a single ODI hundred in Australia . Now no one can say that as a reason to underestimate the talent of the little master.

Sachin scored his 42nd Hundred of just 105 in the first finals of the Commonwealth Bank series held in SCG and remained not out with 117 runs of 120 balls which includes 10 boundaries.Before the match all odds were against India .Of the 12 matches played wchich includes three finals India has never won a single match in that ground.So many of them said that India will defeated in this match.But kudos to the little master he raised on this big occasion and delivered what he is capable of.

Earlier Australia scored 239 runs with some good partnership from Andrew Symmonds and Matthew Hayden.When India started to they started steadily but lost their way after 50 runs and lost three quick wickets.Then Rohit Sharma along with Sachin scored some good 120 runs inorder to make India win this match comfortably

Whatever it be,the Man Of the Match Sachin Tendulkar proved that he is the Best Batsman in the game of Cricket by adding one more feather to his cap......

Prince Harry in Afghanistan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Prince Harry was born on September 14, 1984 in London. He is the son of Prince Charles and late Princess Dianna. He is the third to the British Throne.Prince Harry is currently a officer in the British Army and a Second Lieutenant, or ‘Cornet’, in the Blues and Royals, which, together with the Life Guards, forms The Household Cavalry.

Though he is in military he was not allowed to go to Iraq while his mates went in to fight there. He was not sent due to the security reasons.Many beleived that his presence in Iraq will jeopardise the situation there.So they didnt allowed him to go there.

But two months earlier he was sent to Afghanistan. But this was not revealed to the outside world. It was accepted after a mutually-agreed media blackout to prevent enemy forces finding him out. He served with the British army there for the past two months.This was kept as a secret till 29th Feb.

The Ministry of Defence confirmed after reports appeared on a US website that Prince Harry has been serving with the British Army in Afghanistan for more than two months.In a statement released by Defence Ministry it confirmed the reports that indeed Prince Harry has been deployed in Afghanistan.

Now since the news has been leaked to the media he will be withdrawn immediately from the battlefield as soon as possible.

Partnership Jinx Broken



At last after 52 years the record for highest First wicket partnership in test cricket which was held by the Indian openers Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy has been broken.They together made a mammoth partnership of 413 runs against New Zealand during 5th Test held in Chennai on January 7, 1956.On 1st March 2008 South African Openers Graeme Smith and Neil MCKenzie have surpassed that mark and have set new world record of 415 runs before Smith got out . South African team is touring Bangladesh now. Both the openers made Centuries and added 10 runs to their over night score to acheive this milestone.



Earlier in 2006 when India was touring Pakistan , Virendra Sehwag and Rahul Dravid came close to break the record of Mankad and Roy but unfortunately fell short by three runs. But now the record which was long held by the Indians is now owned by South Africans.

In the mean time Mankand's son has expressed his disappointment over this record break..........

Will India regain its old glory????????????/

All Indians are hoping for that to happen.............
