Questions for the week 22-Apr-2007 to 28-Apr-2007

(Question this week are in the pics format)
Recognise these cricketing personalities

SACHIN & SAURAV OUT !!!

For the first time in 17 years that the stars of the selectors of the Indian Cricket have turned on its head. How ? Simple! They have dropped the best player that ever lived on the planet Earth. And Saurav Ganguly to boot. What else will you call it ? And one more thing; who are the selectors to decide if a player who is performing should cool his heels ? Why don't the selectors adopt the same thing for themselves ? ONE MAN PER POST ! No they can't do it. Can they ? How can they ? Don't they want to continue occupying the chairs ? The Rotation System is only for the players; and not for them who are post holders.
And the other thing: If a individual is earning and Lacs and Crores there will be a big problem in the already dusty heads of these board members. Well if any one is earning by their hard work, you have no right to deny them their income. That's totally undemocratic. And all know that India the largest Democracy in the world. Probably all have forgotten this grass root common philosophy about Democracy. Is India declining in her Democracy values ? If no then I may better say that all the players should take the help of PIL and sue the BCCI for their unlawful and dictator type commands that the poor players have to face in spite of performing on the field.
A lot has been said about their non-performance. But who thinks and these cricketers are never compared with the Bollywood stars. Even the star of the Millennium has given innumerable flops even after being given the status of the "Star of the Millennium". Why has no one wondered, why has no one staged protests against the Big B about the flop films. Leave alone the protests, on the contrary he is the only Bollywood star who has a temple to his credit. IS HE A GOD ? (He can never be.) But he is earning in Crores. Who has asked him till date that you should not feature in more than say 3 or 4 ads. Even though considering our dismal performance over the years the BCCI remains the richest Cricket Board in the World. Had the President even made a oral statement that all the players should "donate"their 10% or 15% to the Board all would have done that gladly. Even the players would have earned and so the Board. And there would have been no need of any written order for this. (But should be done to curb corruption.) But it is not even for a legend like Sachin; who now seem to be just a toy in the hands of the selectors in spite of his Demigod like status. IS IT THE END OF THE LEGEND ? LETS SAY IT IS NOT. Because it is also in the hands of fans like us to support our dear ones.

IS AISHWARYA THE SECOND WIFE OF ABHISHEK ?

Is Aish the second wife of Abhi ? Who is the low-profile actress called Janhavi Kapoor ? When will Abhishek get a filmfare award ? Did Abhishek really marry even before the first rays of 2007 had fallen ?
All these questions come not in the mind of any seasoned jornalist but a common man like you and me. In the wee hours this selfproclaimed Mrs. Small B arrived in front of "Pratiksha" and created a real drama. Anyways, Mumbai is known for dramas - be it real life or reel life. This lady claimed to have got married to AB in December last. But how ? In court ? No. In a temple ? No. No one knows how they got married but THEY GOT MARRIED. Wow great isn't it ? And all this had to surface right in the hot period of the "hot" marriage of the "hot" jodi. Known as the most-beautiful couple that ever lived on the planet called Earth.

Janhavi got numerous offers of films after Dus. But the love for Abhishek was soooooooooo strong that she "rejected" the offers that she got. Now this Janhavi Kapoor claims that Abhi had a love affair with her and had even promised to marry her; which is why she declined the film offers that she had got; once he gets a Filefare Award ? (One wonders for what ? But we will suppose he will get one soon.)

Another thing that Janhavi is doing that she wants to put an end to her life. She tried to commit suicide just in front the house of AB.

But one dosn't know the timing of Janhavi Kapoor! She says he had married him in December last. But then why on earth did she keep quiet till the date of their marriage. She wants to meet him and settle all the things once and for all. Couldn't she then do it right then? What's the point in waiting for 4 more months. Not only that she also dragged the SP leader Mr. Amar Singh into all this matter, claiming that she is being threated for life by the leader. One can't say right now how the proceding will go on. But put your fingers crossed. There's more coming.

GONE GREG !!!

Its good news that once and for all the unwanted coach of Team India is gone. He is known as a "strategist", and so has he shown it to the world. He didn't want Team India to win the World Cup. And so showed the doors to the team. Because he knew that, if India remains in the hunt for her second Cup it would be damn difficult for Australia to get a hat-trick of it. And as a patriotic cricket fan he prayed for Australia to win. And who wouldn't love to see the face of that man again ? According to his brother Ian Chappell, Greg was afraid that he doesn't become another Bob Woolmer. And that's the reason why he quit as early as possible.

ITS ALL IN THE MIND !

When nothing seems to go your way,
Keep your head.
When the odds are against you
Keep your head.
When the time requires you to fire up,
Show you can do it.
If you think you can, you can &
Show you can do it.
Keep faith. Believe that you are going to reach the
shores, what the odds may be, and that its just a
matter of time. If things are going your way, then
realise that you are doing something right and keep
doing it, stick to it because you are on the right path.
And that's what will keep you taking ahead. That's
what will raise you above all the others. That's what
will make you stand out in the crowds.
Even a birdie is willing to fly right from the word go. It
knows or even may not that its wings are still not strong
enough to carry it forward. But the will to fly and experience
something new makes the little birdie restless. Probably it
knows more than us that "WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE
IS A WAY !"
If you struggle, strive, fight, battle then success, achievement,
the joy, the pleasure and the satisfaction of reaching your goal will
be all yours and one will be able to deprive you of you of that special
moment. Help yourself on the path to success. And yes, positve thoughts
are the wings to success. So think positive always. Afterall its all in the mind !
WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL LIFE !

INDIANS (BACK) IN INDIA

RAHUL DRAVID (BEFORE WC) "We are here to win!"
RAHUL DRAVID (AFTER WC) "We didn't deserve to win!"
How can the same person make such contradictory statements in such a short span of time ? And that too both were bold and bold statements. The former being the more. But the ignonimity of defeats, expectations of billion odd fans coupled with (unsung) personal ambitions and the hype created before the departure of the team has at last indeed cost the team the World Cup. Exactly within 9 days it was game over for Team India. Couldn't even score a double digit in days. Nine was not fine.
And our cricket-crazy nation was looking for a miracle to happen, expecting a thing or two to happen from someone rated as "minnows" at least on paper (otherwise in the real sense who can be termed as a minnow ?) - Bermuda beating Bangladesh. But that wasn't to be. Dave What more do you want ? One bicycle collapsed the rest showed what the Domino Effect is. Now its time to cool their heels.
But really, is it correct just to critizise someone or some unit so severely ? Because we are expecting that the laws of the Nature and the games should change for us ? We are expecting that each of the players on the field is a super-human who would hit every ball out of the ground [(like Gibbs - but he too didn't do it always)] and take wickets every ball [(like Malinga - but he too didn't do it always)] and that these super-humans would never make any mistake of any kind. But mind you even Micheal Schumachare was once made to look human like our very own SACHIN TENDULKAR.

KUNDALINI

INDIA - The articulation itself is enough to indicate that it is one of the world's most different countries. Her rich culture, varied haritage, the boon of the sages & saints has made India all the more different. People come here from all parts of the world to find peace of mind and most of them do get it only in INDIA. Patanjali's Yoga and Pranayam, Saint Panini's Grammar of the Sanskrit Language, healing the Aurvedic way ... the list can keep growing.
Among all these is Swami Ramdev Baba who is championing the cause of Patanjali - Yoga and Pranayam - to remain fit, healthy and live past 99. What it all requires is just will-power and sincere dedication. And arguably the top-most level of all this is - MEDITATION AND KUNDALINI.
Kundalini is a very great in born power present in all human beings but used by more than few of them.

We will see some more information and details about all the powers of Kundalini and "The Muladhar Chakra", "The Swadhishthan Chakra", "The Manipur Chakra", "The Anahat Chakra", "The Vishudhi Chakra","The Ajna Chakra" and "The Sahasrara Chakra".

WINDOWS VISTA - THE NEW MICROSOFT OS [1]

INTRODUCTION OF WINDOWS VISTA:

Winodws Vista is another name for Windows XP. It is considered to be the next version of Windows XP., with volume licence customers such as Dell, HP-Compaq and Lenovo. Vista was on the stands by the end of January 2007.

Vista is available in eight iterations: - 1) Starter, 2) Home Basic, 3) Home Basic N, 4) Home Premium, 5) Business, 6) Business N, 7) Enterprise and 8) Ultimate. Among all the versions Windows Vista Ultimate is considered to be the Superset of all the others.

Vista is categorized as 'Vista-capable' machines and 'Premium ready' machines.

Vista-capable is configured on - 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM a DirectX 9 class graphics card and 20 GB HDD - which is the lowest recommended configuration.
