Commonwealth Games 2010

This year is year of celebrations for all of the Indians. The festival coming up in October this year does not belong to any religion or a community. But is festival for all of us who call themselves Indians. Forget about the news created by media and the big price tag which is associated with it. But does national pride have had any price. Is not price less?
I will never forget that time when I touched the Baton. It was as if something passed through me. It wasn’t just Goosebumps; something also came out of my eyes after they took the photo. It is way better than Beijing Olympic Torch. It is simply awesome. Thanks to Michel Foley of National Institute of Design. Who say that Indians are less than any country? This feeling of pride is simply priceless. No currency paper can buy that for me. And I think that is same for all of us. This year’s games are going to be the first Green Commonwealth Games. Isn’t that great. Our forefathers who fought for independence would only have thought about this reality only in their dreams. Today when British Prime Minister comes to our country he comes to country which is in no way less than his own. Today we may be playing sports but in reality we are colouring the dreams which were sketched more than 60 years ago. Some 25 years ago a man named Rakesh Sharma said that from space India looks “Saare jahan se acha” today even staying on the planet I must say the same. But surely we as young generation have got to do much more to make it the best in the world.
We as a Climate Champions have done our bid by helping organizing the Green Concert and in also in the Baton Relay. Some of us like Ayan da and Subhav are going one step further. I wish them good luck. And I think we all as a Climate Champion should also wish the Common wealth Games a very best luck, May be it be Green very green. Best of luck Shera.
Bye
Be Green

In 2008 Indian Flag was planted on lunar soil. But how did Indian reached their? What started with sending sounding rockets for the benefit of the newly formed developing country ended up being the leading space programme in the world? It gives all the details on how the Indian Space Programme evolved. Starting literally from scratch, and fight foreign embargoes and technology denial regimes it evolved in to country’s if not world finest institution.

Back Stabbed 1

I don’t know but it seems that India has a long and still lasting tradition of being stabbed by those people whom India helps. “30th October a day t5hat will live in infamy”. Perhaps this is what FDR would have if he could be our President or perhaps not. Pearl Harbour attack or 9/11 attack on US have happened once in sixty years. But here in India not even six days passes without someone stabbing our nation in its heart, whether they are terrorists, anti-socials or even so-called civilised people. India is been constantly butchered to pieces uncountable. Perhaps these incident happens so occasionally that our honourable PM and President have to appoint all the Booker Prize winners. (I really meat that, the number is very large now.) From last few months the numbers of bomb blasts are increasing and those bad guys have made whole India what Jammu and Kashmir was few years back. I think we are behind these blasts and all. Firstly we can’t elect a responsible government to run world’s ...
