Road less travelled ?


Travelling ,There are a lot of people who haven’t even started traveling the globe and then there are a few who’s work doesn’t keep them apart from travelling the globe but have you wondered what’s these groups have in common ,” food “well the most of them its to make a choice from the options given on the menu ,with being on the “safe ” side the one which you would pick at home too ,but to travel the globe is also an experiment with the local cuisines ,which we traveller are skeptical about or are mostly clueless about ,since we depend on the travel agencies or are willing to do little research about the place .And with so much of information on the net the traveller haven’t really become active but lazier to plan more than what they can do .

The World Cup performance 

Indians are crushed by the Australian in Australia once again ,some things in history don’t change .

Like today we couldn’t chase  300+ against Australia even after playing in their country for the last 4 months  ,chasing is surely are biggest weakness ,losing a toss is another thing that goes wrong with us .

The  team hasn’t improved at all ,about 12 years ago ,2003 World Cup final we just scored 234 and today too 233 on both occasions we were playing against the same team and had a good start but could not make use of it ,they were  too dependable on the top 3  batsmen and if they don’t performe  ,the middle order tends to collapse under pressure and added to this if the captain doesn’t perform it’s total disaster.

The fighting spirit is just not there 330 was not difficult ,they made it look difficult and the battle was lost with 4 down for 100 and not taking off when needed ,also Mostly everybody expected India to make it in the semifinals with the way there were placed and there were no surprises with other team too being part of the later knockout stages and the semi too were expected to be played amongst these ,only the hype of India playing against  pak kept the fans on their toes to watch the QF between the host and the visitor .

But the semi final was the real test ,the real World Cup and the real battleground which mattered ,but couldn’t be won .

Ok I agree we could not win 8/8 matches this World Cup ,today must not have been our day ,but what do you have to say about the loss by 95 runs and with 3 overs to spare and no where close to the target .

And what do you have to say about the missed opportunity that changed the game ?

Do you believe you were over confident this time ?for this real test .

If we were champions ,why dint we show it .has the Midas touch from our captain disappeared ?

Mary Kom

Mary Kom,about a year ago I had attended the Toi lit fest and there ,Mary Kom’s unbreakable was launched with highlights of her life from her autobiography was shared in an interview and that time itself ,I felt it’s such a huge achievement for somebody to believe in herself and silencing the critics when they spoke against her .
Also for a mother of 3 to continue boxing isn’t really that easy ,it was that day which made a proud indian .
And today after 9 months when the movie was released and I saw it ,it had the same impact of that day when she was sharing her story while being interviewed .
It’s the story of her journey that really make us believe that even indian woman’s are strong .

What’s the future ?

While going through the newspaper today ,I came against a thought and was thinking about it for a while and wondering what is the perception of India for a tourist ,investor ,and an emigrate ,not in terms of the economic growth ,with MNCS ,enjoying the sudden change of Indians spending money on shopping for clothes. Cars,lifestyle ,health and travel ,but as nation where you go through a newspaper and there are front page stories of crime ,child abuse ,theft 95 % of the time ,but hardly would see any success stories on Indians changing the countries in a positive way ,these stories only come when they feel that’s well they have got enough crime news ,and now need to fill up the 32page newspaper with “some other news”,why are we giving so much importance to news that would damage the image of the country because of a few 100s ,and not just the newspaper ,the news channels too through out the day highlight news on the crime news ,don’t we as a country have much more to offer to the people ?
Can we not as a country see how much these horrifying incidents and stories affect the tourism of a country that has so much to see and do ?
I am not telling well not report these incidents ,rather give solution how can we stop this country from being known as the “criminal minds”.
And developing the country .
