INDIA AT PRESENT
After 60 years, we generally think of retirement and living rest of life in peace using our life-long savings. But India cannot think of retirement because India is on the brink of becoming a super power both in terms of technology and economics. We all know that India is a land of diversity. Different religions ,different sects and tribes, diverse customs and languages yet a feeling of Indians keeping us together. It is otherwise that this feeling is more evident when India plays Pakistan in a cricket match. From 1947 to 2007, India might not have changed geographically much but India has changed economically. Living standard of people has improved. Middle class ,India’s greatest asset ,is making rapid strides in education. They rule the Indian economics. Now Indian companies are making world wide take-overs. Indian military might has increased tremendously from 1947 .India is now a nuclear state. The best thing about nuclear weapons is that people respect you be it because of fear or admiration. No country can dare to touch Indian soil. Tribute must be paid to Indian farmer .From food-starved country to food-surplus country ,Indian farmer has come a long way. So salute our jawan and kissan. Indian space program is another thing India should be proud of .It is good to see a satellite with Indian tricolor in the space. Very soon we will see an Indian satellite on the surface of moon. Indian scientists and engineers have proved their mettle round the world. It is a very proud feeling to see Indians working in big organizations like Nasa,Microsoft,Ibm,Intel,Sunmicrosysems.It shows the world that Indians can compete in global environment. What India needs today are leaders with vision. Young and dynamic leaders who can take India to its rightful position. We do not need leaders who fight just for political gains. We need educated young people to lead India. for this to happen, We need to change ourselves. Think beyond your caste,community,religion or state, think first about India. If India makes progress ,we will automatically make progress. There is a great future for us, just grab the moment and lead the world.

JUST IMAGINE
Just imagine if we all could fly like birds! How exciting it would be? No cars, no aeroplanes,no bikes, no pollution, no accidents and the world would be a healthy and silent place to live in. Just imagine a scene, people flying in the air and meeting each other in mid-air. See what a wonderful sight it would be. GOD has given the gift of imagination to human beings. It does not cost any money to imagine. So go on imagining because imagination is the first step of creation. Sometimes living in a fantasy is a good idea. It gives us relief from boring and stressful daily life. Just imagine one day you wake up and you get the news that you have won the jackpot of hundred core rupees. All your worries and tensions of life will disappear in one moment. You will be at the top of the world. You can then live the life of king of good times. How exciting this experience will be? Just imagine Indian cricket team winning the 2011 world cup at home and people of India going crazy and celebrating the cricket Diwali.Just imagine judges of Indian courts taking months not years to decide the cases and every victim getting the justice on time. Just imagine one day the Pakistan giving up the dream of Kashmir and India, Pakistan utilizing their resources for the betterment of their own people. Just imagine India becoming a scam free country and all corrupt politicians behind the bars. Just imagine your next excursion to Europe and your dream girl with you. Just imagine you on a hot seat of KBC and badshah of bollywood Sharukh khan giving you a massage. Just imagine me writing a Pary potter series which would be half as popular as J.K. Rowling’s Hary potter series. I will not be on top of world but surely on the top of the universe. At last but certainly not atleast just imagine one night a spider bites you and you become the next Spiderman and become the new superhero of world. Many of these distant dreams may seem unrealistic and absurd but as they say no dream is too big. History tells us that greatest things needed innovative imagination to happen. So live your imagination and sing with me “DIL HAI CHOOTA SA, BAADI HAI AASHA”

A GREAT LOVE-HATE TRIANGLE
India wants the whole of Kashmir, Pakistan’s first love is Kashmir and India-Pakistan fought wars over Kashmir.Yes,it is a great love-hate triangle of two Nations with Kashmir forming the top point.
Whenever ‘Kashmir’ is mentioned, first of all ,its natural beauty comes to mind. There are many beautiful places on earth, but none better than Kashmir.Atleast who have visited Kashmir once ,believe if there is a paradise on earth, it must be Kashmir. Kashmir, which derives its name from Rishi Kashyapa who reclaimed the land of the Kashmir valley from a vast lake, known as ‘Satisar’,is full of snow clad mountains ,springs,lakes,valleys,beautiful gardens, ancient temples and mosques. Whoever visits the Kashmir valley cannot stop adoring the natural beauty of valley. Even almighty lord Shiva visited Kashmir valley with his wife Paravati.
Nothing is perfect in this world. Kashmir, arguably the most beautiful place in the world ,has seen three wars being fought over it and the fourth one is still in progress since 1989.There will be no place in the world for which so many people have lost their lives and property. Kashmir has been the bone of contention between India –Pakistan since 1947.They first attacked Kashmir in October 1947 with the help of Tribesmen and regular army. Pakistan rulers have always dreamt of merging Kashmir with Pakistan since it has majority Muslim population. Had not the then ruler of Kashmir ,Hari Singh shown the wisdom of signing the instrument of accession to India on Oct 26 1947,whole of Kashmir may now have been the part of Islamic republic of Pakistan. Still Pakistan got part of Kashmir which we call Pak occupied Kashmir and they call ‘Azad Kashmir’
India has been generous to Pakistan .India showed its generosity in 1971,when it had odd 90,000 Pakistani soldiers in its captivity and it did not pressurize Pakistan to accede Kashmir to India. After 1971 war, Pakistan establishment quickly realized that India cannot be defeated by Open war. So in 1989,Pakistan started a proxy war with India .Worst victims were people of Kashmir particularly Kashmiri pandits.They have become refugees in their own country.
Now let us face the present reality. Both countries are now nuclear powers. The best part of nuclear weapons is their fear, so open war is out of question now. Status-quo is the only possibility. For peace to return ,Pakistani rulers should now give their dream of Kashmir and face the ground reality. Pakistan should put its resources to use for the upliftment of its own people rather than thinking about the downfall of India. Pakistani rulers should care about welfare of people of Kashmir rather than crying for human rights violation on other side of border.India,on its part should shed its image of soft state. Face bullet with bullet and flower with flower. Let Kashmir be remembered as the most beautiful place rather than deadliest place on the earth to live in.
LET THERE BE GREAT LOVE TRIANGLE.

FACE THE HEAT
Mercury is rising and we are sweating. The heat is on. Every year during the summer, we curse the heat but forget after that. Year after year, the summers are becoming more and more severe. Actually we all know the reason for this nature’s fury i.e. GLOBAL WARMING-most debated topic these days. As a comman man, we may say that it concerns scientists and environmentalists. But actually we are facing the heat.
Let us first look what can be consequences of global warming. There will be more heat waves and forest fires. Glaciers will melt rapidly and increase in water level. There will be danger of severe floods. Coastal regions and small islands will become extinct. Crops will be affected. Many species of birds and animals will become tales of history.
We may point our finger to mother nature for this large scale destruction, but actually fault lies within us. Human beings never respected the mother nature. From the invention of wheel to largest aero plane A380,our progress has been extra ordinary, but we must realize that we still need fresh air, clean water and food to survive on planet earth. Mother nature gave these invaluable gifts absolutely free. But in pursuit of so called industrialization, we never valued free gifts from nature.
All is not still lost. Scientists say still we have eight years to take preventive measures. We should open two fronts to tackle global warming. First on international front ,all countries whether first world or third world countries should become united. Major emitters such as USA,China,India,Brazil should join the Kyoto protocol countries of Europe and Japan in imposing cutbacks in heat-trapping gases like carbon-dioxide emitted by powerplants,industries and vehicles. World should move from carbon heavy fuels like coal to cleaner fuels such as solar energy.
Now on personal front.As a common-man we may ask ourselves what I can do to save this planet earth.Atleast everyone of us can grow a tree in our lifetime .It will be a small step for us but a giant step for the survival of human race.
“save mother earth,save human race”

BREAKING NEWS
Breaking news is that there is no breaking news today. Just kidding. Can there be a day in India without breaking news.? Gone are the days when people waited for 8pm news on Doordarshan or next day newspaper. Today it is the world of 24-hour news channels, news on mobile, news on internet and news everywhere. We can access news from anywhere. Today there are numerous news channels in India. Each channel wants to bring exclusive and fast news for its viewers i.e. sabse tez.Each channel calls itself India’s number one. There was a time when news came to the channels, now vans of various channels roam to explore the news and present it to its viewers masala lagake. Actually news business is a very profitable business. India is full of interesting stories.Everyday a news story breaks in India. You need not invest anything and you have full rights to exploit to your advantage. Is this not profitable? This is why every business house wants to own a news channel. Most of the news channels are entertainment cum news channels. Recent example is wide coverage to Abi-Ash wedding. Every channel was looking for exclusive clipping to attract more people in turn more advertisements. There is a new phenomenon doing rounds in Indian news industry.Yes,you are right, it is sting operations.Politicians,Policemen,Godmen,Bureaucrats and even cricket selectors have faced the brunt of hidden cameras. It has shown how corrupt our system has become. Media is a great pillar of democracy. But channels have to realize that in India there are more important issues to be raised than some star wedding or some kissing scene.We all someday want to hear the breaking news “POVERTY IS NO MORE IN INDIA”

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Today in this modern world, expect the unexpected. Nobody expected that Dirubhai Ambani will build such a huge empire and his sons after their father’s death will build two similar huge business houses. No one in India expected that Indian team will be beaten by Bangladesh in CWC 2007.Nobody including Manmohan Singh had predicted before 2004 General elections that he will be next PM of India and the list of unexpected is never ending.
Life is full of suprises.It can throw a surprise when we least expected it .We all have different expectations from life. Actually we have expectations from everything in life. We all visit the holy places in expectation that Almighty will fulfill all our wishes and forgive all our mistakes. We expect our parents to provide us all emotional and monetary support. Parents in turn have expectations that their children will make them proud Parents in the society. Expect our friends to be true friends when we are in need. Expectations from Indian cricket team that they will win every match they play. We expect government to provide us better roads, 24-hour electricity and crime free society. But as we are aware very few expectations are usually met.
Not many people are happy with their lives because they expected something else from their life but got something else. If we all got what we desired, then this world will be the best place to live in. The best way to live happy is to take all that comes in our stride.Donot expect so much that you will be sad if those high expectations are not met. Take a step by step appraoch.Donot start living for future ,live for present because
“PRESENT IS REAL, FUTURE IS UNKNOWN”

IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA
India is a unique country.There are many things that happen only in India.Where in this world can u find so many diverse cultures living together in the same country.We all should be proud of it. But there are also other things that happen only in India .One of them is ‘reservation system’.Where in this world u will find that child’s future largely depends in which caste he or she is born ? It is happening in India.There can be justification in reservation for physically handicapped,sportspersons who represent country,economically backward,people who have suffered due to natural calamities or people who have faced the brunt of terrorism but can there be some justification for caste based reservation. Take this,a general candidate needs to be extra-ordinary brilliant to get into India’s elite colleges-be it IIT’s,IIM’s,AIIMS but other candidate of a particular caste just needs to be average.It does not stop here.There is a caste based reservation in govt. services.There are special recruitment drives on the basis of caste. Why this injustice?Why is govt. punishing a candidate just because he or she was not born in the family of particular caste?How will casteism be eliminated in India if govt. itself makes distinction on the basis of caste?If at all India needs a reservation system-basis can only be economic not the caste or religion. “LET THERE BE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL OF US”

TAKE IT EASY.
We cannot do it this time .But there is always a next time.We are out of CWC 2007 but there is another CWC in 2011.Then we will surely do it.These were the thoughts going through my mind on 24th morning.I may be looking highly optimistic but there is no other way to calm my heart.
It is a shock that we are out so early.Nobody in this country would have imagined this dreadful dream but it is a reality that our so called batting tigers let us down.Cricket is not a mere game for us,it is a religion which we practice daily including me.
Let us face it.We,cannot play for them.We can just support and pray for them.So let us forget the defeat and let us go on with ur life.Let all of us take it easy.Never make anybody GOD.They are not so important that we waste our time and energy for our ‘cricket stars’.When they play good cricket enjoy that moments but forget their defeats.With this approach we all will be happy.
Time has a soothing effect.Within 5 or 6 months,we will forget defeat and may be again cheering for them.But one thing we must remember that we must never give cricket stars so much importance.They are also humans but certainly not GODS.Let us enjoy the game and forget the shocking exit of India.There is so much more in life .Let us explore it because”LIFE MUST GO ON”
