Virat Kohli Keeps Indian Hopes Alive In Common Wealth Bank Series

Virat Kohli Century

Virat Kohli

 

What a game…wow…what a chase..Slammed from all quarters Indian batting line up finally played to its true potential and won the last league match by seven wickets. More importantly India chased down the target of whopping 321 in mere 36.4 overs.

As match started Ravi Shashtri commented that India needed to restrict srilankans to 240-250 and chase the target down in 40 overs and then pray that aussies beat srilanka , so that India might get into final.

But as I saw score of 75/1 , I wondered how are we going to restrict them in 240 ..For me at that point of time it looked like sri lankans are going to put score of 280-290. I was wrong . Dilshan found this match to be the match where he would get into big score. He scored big hundred and remained not out at 160. Sangakara too made a century and srilanka went on to make 320…

Now chasing 320 down with kind of form which Indian batsman have shown in australia , it looked like impossible task and that too doing it under 40 overs. Sehwag , tendulkar began well and later on gautam gambhir continued the momentum. But day belonged to virat kohli who scored at brisk pace , making sure that we achieve target under 40 overs.

Batting at no 4 , virat hit two sixes and 16 fours and stayed not out at 133. Suresh raina too contributed with 40 not out in 24 balls. Virat made merry of dangerous malinga and hit 4 fours , 1 six and 1 two runs in single over!!!!!!!!!!!!!…Virat made winning runs against malinga showing his dominance today.

so what does point table say? :

 

Team P W Pts NRR
Flag AustraliaAustralia
 7 4 19 0.553
Flag Sri LankaSri Lanka
 7 3 15 0.162
Flag IndiaIndia
 8 3 15 -0.593

 

So India are last in the list and would need australia to defeat srilankan handsomely to make it to best of three finals. Now even if India fails to make it to the final , they would end the disastrous tour of australia.

As for virat he has showed the he is man of future.  With 9 oneday centuries and 20 half centuries in 82 matches he had played , virat also became fastest player to get 3000 runs for India in current tour of australia…

As for Indians , one day match between australia and srilanka would be one of most viewed match in recent months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharia For India Movement Would Be End Of India We Know….

Anjem Choudary- The Extremist

Anjem Choudary- The Extremist

 

Dont be shocked with the title and I dont care what Mr Kapil Sibal thinks of this post. The above pic is of man who openly praises terrorist of 9/11, wants sharia to be implemented all over the world (uk being his home turf) , acknowledges training volunteers to fight !!!!!!!!!!!

This man is extremist who was responsible for sticking stickers in uk in some places . The stickers called ‘Sharia Controlled Zone’. In interview to ABC he openly admitted that he is trying to influence muslims in USA to stand up and fight for sharia …

Now this kind of dangerous man is visiting India.. What for?. Well he is organizing rally in delhi on 3rd march calling for ‘Sharia In India’. His website claims that they want ban on political parties , ban on bollywood and most importantly has pic which would hurt sentiments of hindus.

Why the hell is he getting visa?. Have we so spineless that an extremist is coming to hold rally challenging our constitution , our way of life for promoting his hatred filled ideology?.

Sharia for India Movement would be end of India we know. It doesnot help to wake a sleeping lion, does it?. Hindus in India are majority and in spite of so many muslim regimes , India remained hindu majority. The first muslim rule in subcontinent was established in sindh in 712 and it then it took another 500 years for any muslim regime to create in roads.

What is golden age of Islam in India. It is Akhbar’s age , even thought aurangzeb had more area to rule. Why?. Because akhbar was secular and didnt mess with basic right of every human being to worship , whomsoever he/she wishes to. Aurangzeb tried to mess with it and led to downfall of mughals.

In country like India which has been home to all religions since thousands of years , imposing something is recipe of disaster. What makes India such vibrant is its diversity and communal forces like Anjem Choudary would encourage communal forces among Hindus which would led to chaos and end of India we know. It is recipe of disaster.

Personally I am liberal hindu and am not too religious person but if someone messes with my way of life , I wont stand it either. I would never ever stand that…

Coming to this extremist called Anjem Choudary , I wonder what the hell is uk doing?. Britian prime minister david cameron had following things to say about anjen choudary said that Choudary “is one of those people who needs to be looked at seriously in terms of the legality of what he’s saying because he strays, I think, extremely close to the line of encouraging hatred, extremism and violence.”. Now when david knows that why the hell is anjem still free?

Coming to India , what the hell is congress doing for this?. They call them secular , dont they?. Now a secular government allowing extremist like anjem choudary to have rally is against secularism , isnt it?

I encourage all reading this blog to take a stand against this extremist and his communal rally. In our loved country , we have no place for such mindset…

Raped and Ridiculed : Are Rape Victims ,Also victims of gender prejudice?

Rape - Worst Crime

Rape - Worst Crime

Recently another Rape news made headlines. A 37 years old , mother of two was raped by five people in car. The men she met in night club. She stayed till late , befriended them and took lift from them. Now her mistake was that she took lift from strangers in late night…

Now this woman gets raped goes to police and how does police react?. Well they put onus on her. What was she doing in night club. Well may be having beer..So?..Is having beer crime?.If yes ban it ….

Why did she take lift with strangers?. Hmmm…Mistake…agreed…but crime?..Nope…

How rape can happen in moving car?. Interesting question…but more important question was did rape happen?. If yes ,what role police must do?..Take FIR and work on it, right?..If police thinks woman is lying , they can arrest her for false complain , isnt it?

The biggest shocking remarks came from mamta banerjee who called the story to be fabricated to undermine her government!!!!!!!!!…Now coming for woman itself , this was really shocker.

But coming to other comments , many people questioned morality of the woman. Now does lady going to bar and taking lift late in night with strangers give rights to those strangers to rape her?.

Often we keep hearing from people on high post in police or administration that onus of not getting raped is on woman!!!!!!!!!!!…It is like telling onus of not being murdered or robbed lies on us as aam aadmis and not those who commit those crimes , not on police , law and order machinery!!!!!!!

Often Rape victims are ridiculed for their life styles…Ironically , isnt it?. Rape victims often become victims of gender prejudice and social norms of what woman must do and not do…But that about men who commit worst crime called RAPE?

Rape in many cases is worst than murder. In murder victim dies , in rape victim often remains tormented for years and years. Rape victims needs all the support from society and not ridicules. Rape victim needs social, mental and psychological support.

Coming to offenders , I believe 7 yrs jail term for rape charges is peanuts . It must be atleast 25 yrs or more and we need change of laws for that.

Election Results : Mumbai Corporation Elections (BMC) – Shivsena Roars Again

Posted on by — No Comments ↓
Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thakeray

Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thakeray

 

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) , the richest civic body in India with annual budget of Rs 21,000 crores is all set to be governed again by Shiv Sena-BJP combine. The BMC has been ruled by shiv sena combine since 17 years by now .

Shiv Sena which is soon eroding from politics has got much needed victory in civic poll elections. Media projected this election as litmus test for uddhav thackeray and atleast in this election he seems to have answered his critics.

shiv sena,bjp combined have managed to win on 107 seats in BMC  while congress-ncp ally has managed to win in 61 seats out of 227 seats. RAJ THACKERAY managed to win 29 seats and can prove big challenge to shiv sena in coming years. He has managed to snatch away all seats from dadar which has been strong hold of shiv sena.

As for congress-ncp the results are discouraging , specially since this time they were confident of getting BMC governance after 17 years of exile.

The reactions of mumbaikers have been mixed as some hailing the results while other seemed disappointed.

Following two tweets says it all :

Tweet 1: Mumbai has lost its right to complaint anymore, Shiv Sena-BJP set to rule again
Tweet 2: Shiv-Sena BJP alliance all set to rule the BMC for another 5 years ! The tiger gets its teeth back !

So as Bal Thackeray rejoices today victory it would be interesting to see whether Shiv Sena-BJP would be able to take things forward in assembly elections too. Personally I believe BMC election is breather for shiv sena which was demoralized with eroding support.But winning assembly election would be different ball game .

As for Raj Thackeray he is here to stay. Though he managed to get only 29 seats , he would prove to be spoiler in Shiv Sena’s party. With time he would emerge as threat to shiv sena it seems.

For BJP road ahead in maharashtra would be playing development politics. Under congress regime maharahstra prospered but now is lagging behind in its strongest point and that is ATTRACTING INVESTMENT. Gujarat has left it behind and this is point which BJP can devise genuine model for future elections.

For Congress , it has to come out of its ‘we are the best’ bet slogan. Corruption is something which congress has mastered and if they dont give up their arrogance and put things in right perceptive , they would suffer.

NCP is strong only in Maharashtra and seems to remain so. Their branching out of maharahstra doesnot seem to happen anytime soon.

Andrew Symonds Retires – Waste of Talent?

Andrew Symonds

Andrew Symonds

 

I had to write this and most cricket followers saw it coming. ANDREW SYMONDS has retired from all formats of game with immediate implementation.  He wont be playing IPL Season 5 for mumbai Indian.

Andrew Symonds was one of best utility player specially in shorter format of the game . He could ball spin , he was awesome fielder and most importantly he was brutal with the bat. Single handily he could turn the tide of the game and demolish any balling attack.

Andrew symonds was known for his batting on field and attitude issues off the field. His most most or infamous incident occured with Harbhajan singh. Called as monkey gate controversy , the after effects of the controversy made symonds career short. It was after this incident that symonds showed attitude issues more frequently.

He felt australian board didnt support him to level he expected and bowed down to financial power of BCCI. When clarke led in series , in absence of  Ricky Pointing , symonds stayed aloof. So much so that he went fishing instead of team meeting. His ‘gone fishing’ episode was much published and talked about.

Life threw surprise to symonds when he was hired by mumbai Indians for IPL and he played along with Harbhajan singh . The aggressive duo managed to clear grudges and work together as team. Ironically  symonds said “It is with regret that I will not be able to fulfil my final year of the IPL with the Mumbai Indians,”

“Mumbai Indians and the IPL have both been very supportive of me, but the impending arrival of my first child is a priority.”

As symonds retire , I wonder whether his talent like sohaib akhtar didn’t get utilized fully?.  Symonds could have achieved far more that what his present stats says. He can easily be listed as one of most dangerous player in onedays and twenty twenty. He would have reached height unprecedented in his career.

Now since he retires , I wish him well for his second innings in life…
