Once live a construction labor who spent almost his life on constructing buildings after buildings. He started his career there at a very tender age of 10 and carried on till he thought he should hang on his boots at the age of 65. His skills, of course, all gained by practical experience, were tremendous that at times, even the Engineers would consult him during projects. He commanded respect from every corner of the working environment. However, one thing nagged him badly that he was not paid well or he was not paid as compared to the novice engineers recruited by the construction company. In fact, the engineers were raw and this man was giving them the real tips! Our friend thought that he deserved more and this very thought threw all spokes on his job! He pondered and pondered and decided that he would call quits. Enough is enough, i cant bear it any more and i am leaving, he thought. He went to the director and expressed his decision. The Director cooly replied, "Ok, i dont w...

Madam Jayalalita had the political guts to say that the nomination of Ms Pratiba Patil for the President Post a political joke. However, now similar jokes are going on rounds and ironically the media is giving it an undue importance! Its beyond ones imagination what made LK Advani to recommed for cofering Bharat Ratna on Atal Bihari Vajpayee. This has opened a pandora box and now recommendations galore from every nook and corner of the country. Indeed Bharat Ratna had the sanctity till the first amendment was made to facilitate confering it posthumously. Then started the deterioration of the quality of the candidates.

Then Bharat Ratna was treated almost like a wreath on the dead celebrities. Patel, Ambedkar, and it started. Now the list is fabulous! Kanshiram, Jagjivan Ram, Mohd Rafi, Karunanid...

Once again, India proved to be a spoke on the wheels of win for Australia. Their dream of 17 successive success had a severe blow at WACA. The Australian media predicted a cake-walk for Australians in the same venue by boasting off of the bounce. Alas! It bounced back or boomeranged! The irony is, Indians should have gone 2-1 ahead in this series but for the sabotage of Steve Bucknor and Benson in collaboration with Australian players. The pressure of 16 successive wins had gone to their head and they simply lost their balance during the match at Sydney. Let us not discuss that here as it was discussed more than it required in the past. This win is a real treat to all Indians and cricket lovers across the globe. Indians always remained a thorn in the flesh of Australia since a decade when they lost to us at Eden Gardens, a win crafted by Laxman and Dravid. However, this win is sweet here because; we cannot single out a contribution for the win. If Viru gave the confidence to middle-ord...
