SAVE OUR TIGER

Are we doing enough? Our tigers are in danger. They are falling prey to poaching and man-tiger conflict. Inviolate spaces for tigers are shrinking. Villagers living near core and buffer areas of tiger reserves poison them in revenge for killing their cattle. The government agencies have failed miserably in relocating the reluctant villagers; as in the last 40 years they have been able to relocate only 105 villages out of 1700 in protected tiger reserves.

Now, Noida MMS Sex Scandal

A 23-year old MBA student of Noida is another victim of MMS sex scandal. She was filmed by her boyfriend when she was stripping off her clothes on music. Her boyfriend circulated the MMS because she refused to marry him. This is not the first case of that kind. It is happening in the country from the last few years. [...]

Pyaar Ka Punchnama

Love is about sacrifice. Is it? I have seen in the Bollywood movies of the late 60s and 70s actors profess that love is all about giving and not gaining. Their dialogues are only appropriate for reel life and not practical in real life[...]

Share your thoughts, in short

Micro-blogging is all about posting small digital contents—text, pictures, video and links—on the Internet. In short, it is a combination of blogging and instant messaging. Micro-blogging websites allow users to share a message of 140 or less character, a video of 12 seconds or less duration, short links or individual images with online followers[...]

Express your love, but is it that simple?

No. It’s not. The three-word expression I Love You is perhaps the most difficult one to express. People may be headstrong but go weak at the knees when it comes to proposing to someone special. For one and all, the expression of love requires perfect timing, ideal setting and right approach[...]

CWG didn’t do everything wrong

Posted by Abhishek Pandey on 01:52:00 in ,

Don’t misinterpret me by the headline and start thinking that I want to go gaga about the unexpected and spectacular opening of CWG in Delhi.

Media, both print and electronic, has reported extensively on the issue explaining -crores of rupees were siphoned off during preparations. The construction of stadia was not qualitative. Black sheep were involved for carrying out construction work. Even, AR Rehman composed a sub-standard anthem.

and, Blah… blah…. blah......blah….

Media has over-stuffed the minds of the people with the information about CWG mess. Media had already put millions of question marks on India's capabilities of holding a grand event like this and made whole country ashamed off these wrong-doings.

I don’t want to depress our Indians friends further more with some more facts and figures about corruption in preparedness of CWG games.

I am sensing, CWG has changed something in the country. And, that is attitude towards ‘less important’ sports. This attitudinal change was brought in the psyche of people in 1984 also, when country organised Asiad successfully.

Common men are more interested in knowing who bagged medals from India in wrestling or shooting than getting information about Tendulkar’s performance in test match against Australia.

CWG fever has gripped India much fiercely than dengue, Chikangunia and other variants of viral fever.

This is a good sign of change in the country, where cricket is religion.

One thing more, Sports ministry must ponder over fewer turnouts of visitors inside stadia in CWG matches.

Government could think of providing concession on tickets to the school children in and around Delhi for watching CWG games. It will kill two birds from one stone:

First, Stadiums would be full to encourage players.

Second, Students would get the chance to see playing international players and they would be encouraged for playing unconventional sports.
