This week,That week

I was out of action for the last couple of weeks. Again! Well this time the reason was not the lack of time but the lack of resource. I am not having my laptop with me and without that I can do nothing, even if I want to! I suppose to the momentum and passion to go ahead needs a personal laptop of mine. Probably after accumulating few bucks I shall go for an apple Mac book.

Anyway that is not the point of contention right now. Just want to highlight the major happenings that happened the last fortnight-

The Cup of glory come home-

India is the Cricket World Cup Champions again after 28 long years! It was a moment of a lifetime to witness. The victory has given the youth of my generation a story to tell to the next generation! The whole nation came to a standstill on 2nd April 2011 only to erupt in joy when MSD hit that 6! I had been waiting to witness this moment even since I have started closely following the world cup in the year 1996. We always reached the Quarter Final, Semi Final or Final-only to miss out. The victory has given the country men a moment to cherish for many years to come. The victory has also fulfilled the master’s dream to lift and kiss the cup for which he had been yearning for so long!

Post match I went to FC road to witness a scene that probably describes the madness people have for this game. There were people on the roads-dancing, shouting and waving the “tiranga”. I was shouting, screaming, shaking hands and hugging people whom probably I would meet or not again, I do not know!

If I say in one sentence-It was madness, sheer madness all around!

3 Cheers-Hip Hip Hooray!

India wins again-One man shook the system-

This is for those who thought the Gandhian principles are dead or hold no value in today’s world. It took the guts of a man, one common man to shake the system, to prove that the Gandhian principles are as strong as rock pillar. And the name of the simple common man is Anna Hazare.

He fought for the Lokpal bill and decided to go on indefinite fast till his demands were met. The nation came together again and stood by him. Finally after 4 days, government agreed to his demands. With his victory, India won again! May be the bill cannot eradicate the corruption which has penetrated deep in to our system, but am hopeful that it would at least help in reducing it to some extent. And as they say, hope keeps the world afloat. Let’s hope for the best!

God Bless!
Cheers!
