India Shining, at the Olympics…

Indians are FINALLY making their mark in Olympics, the international multi-sport event. It is unambiguously a moment of pride, guts and glory, not only for the emergent winners, but also for the entire nation. Abhinav Bindra set the ball rolling by winning the FIRST individual Olympic gold medal for India. Presumably he was the trend setter, and tangibly set the adrenalin flowing…


Akhil Kumar, the fearless pugilist, unnerved the current world champion in the bantam weight category and marched on to the quarter finals where he fell- valiantly fighting, may be it wasn’t his day but he did set the standard in the Indian (and international) boxing circuit, emerging as the ‘winner’.


Sushil Kumar also made his mark as the Indian wrestler. Even though boxer Jitender Kumar went down fighting in the 51 kg category, he made us proud by registering a quarterfinal berth. Now, the entire nation will wait and watch their hero, pugilist Vijender, perform and excel for another place in history, and share his moments of glory!

Malavika Sangghvi does an Arundhati!

As if Arundhati Roy’s statements were not enough, here comes another writer and renowned journalist, Malavika Sangghvi, wife of another popular writer & journo, Vir Sanghvi. For all of you who are wondering as to why Ms. Sangghvi is compared to Ms. Roy, for her (Ms. Roy’s) inflammatory, uncalled for and weird statements on August 18, 2008; Ms. Sangghvi has done anti-Indians and rabble-rousers proud by her undesirable piece of writing on page 10 (Mumbai edition), Sunday DNA, one of India’s frontline newspapers. This divisive article is also easily available on the worldwide web. It is definitely a matter of utmost shame and pity as a ‘responsible’ journalist like Malavika Sangghvi is creating furor and chaos to the already worrisome situation in Kashmir, an integral part of India . Why don’t well educated Indians understand that their irresponsible personal statements involve and affect the country as a whole? It is all the more paradoxical as Ms. Sangghvi claims to be a daught

Indian Railways- a sorry state of affairs

A good number of people must be aware that the Indian Railways (IR) is one of the largest and busiest rail networks in the world, transporting- millions of passengers across the country plus several tonnes of freight, daily. Although, many people across the globe may not be apprised of the fact that Indian Railways has a total state monopoly on India 's rail transport. This monopolistic domination ain’t any good for the common man, moreover countless people will agree to this- taking into consideration the pathetic state of IR. Dismal sanitation, thoroughly complacent employees, corruption, absolute ineffective communication…are just some of the inbuilt traits of IR. I definitely dread traveling long distances in the 2 nd class category, which I feel is worse than the 3 rd class. And I’m thankful to God that I’ve the provisions to travel by the category which is supposed to be higher than the substandard 2 nd class. It has been long since I’ve traveled by IR, wherein
