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

Destination Moon - Pallava Bagla, Subhadra Menon

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. It shows how it started under the visionaries like Vikram Sarbai, Homi Bhaba, and the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and was subsequently supported by different governments. The space programme it self shows that if given in the right hands and in down in the best way possible it can not only be India’s best but also world’s best. It is surely inspiration for all the crumbling government institutions. In the later chapters it also gives us an insight into the future of ISRO. It also have the interview Dr G.Madhavan Nairof ISRO, Dr....

Negative Vote

This year I won’t be able to vote because I will turn 18 on 12th of May. So I have decided to ask as many people as I could to vote this year in this LS election. But who ever I told to vote said that whom we should vote for no one is good. In reality also all the member hardly differ from each other. Every on speaks in the same voice. No says something good for which we should vote for. And today’s youth is not that fool who will be misled by there false rhetoric. So the best way to not to vote for those people is not to go for votes. But in this way a whole generation will be created who will have no belief in this democratic system. Previously when there was the paper voting system negative votes can be caste in many ways but nowadays the with EVMs this is not possible. But what if a voter doesn’t like any of the candidates. His only option as I said above could be not to vote. But is that fair. Election Commission must start the Negative Voting system. At least then we could in rea...

Thank god it’s over!

2008 what a damn year this was. From start to the end this can’t get any worse than this. Nothing good has happened this year except that Manish have called me. This is just horrible year right out of some horror movie. Thank god it’s over now or perhaps I am going to die. I just hope that next year turns out to be much better. We will surely see how Obama is going to work in his oval office. Then we have a major task ahead of us. This is really a colossus task isn’t. I don’t know whether I am going to be able to give vote. Most of my friends will be able to but it is very sad. And I am really going to miss school days. I don’t know how the college is going to be. So get good cakes and make this year really great. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
