It is the great wall of India that matters

I felt very bad to see Sachin being glorified as the savior of the first test by the media though I am an ardent fan of the maestro. The credit should have been given to someone who always stayed away from the limelight, the Mr Cool-Rahul Dravid, who single-handedly fenced India to escape defeat quite a lot of times

Dravid, the one who saved a reeling India in the first innings with the company of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in an effort to offer Lanka a formidable first innings score to chase is really the one who deserved the applause. Unfortunately, things went otherwise. This note is not to take anything away from the master’s innings, but just to pop up the real catalyst that gave wings to India’s dream of escaping a defeat.

Dravid, who played several innings of this sort, had faced the same destiny of walking off the ramp in the past. Sachin who completed his century only did his part of the job in a dead pitch, and this also remains as a concern for the curators. Why this sort of a pitch was prepared for the test match? Is it for the sake of killing time or to offer net practice for the batsmen to pad in the game that follows? Let us share this cup of tea.

Nobel Prize lacklusture

Is the Nobel committee a conglomerate of humor film directors? If someone pings a doubt none can argue or contradict. The recent Nobel Prize that has been awarded to the U.S president can be considered the result of an idiotic flaw of the jury. Nobel committee as quoted by the BBC said it awarded him the prize for his "extraordinary work to strengthen international diplomacy". It is  appropriate to say the committee with another quote should justify its act as an effort to help America survive an embattled economy.

What Obama did?. This is  really the million dollar question. Initiatives have never taken some one as Noble Laureate since history even if there are some exceptions . Mahathma Gandhi, who worked for peace fell short of winning the title even if he introduced a new way of life based on non violence. What would have been the factors that made Nobel committee reject Mahathma. This can be discussed in another post. There are still tensions there in the international community.

Israel and Palestine has never declared a permanent cease fire. Pakistan is continuing its hide and seek game with India for which the US only serves the role of a referee (though the game has got no referee since its birth). Then, how come the Nobel committee said "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples" helped him win the title.

Comment: Really feel sad to say the board of idiots have committed a crime

A Vernacular India Slows Down In IT Expansion Says WSJ

Devita Saraf, CEO of VuTechnologies and Executive Director of Zenith Computers in Mumbai, in an article published by WSJ, stated that it is the variety of languages existing in the country that makes development of IT to snail.

We have 192 official languages. The significance of local languages, when compared to a unified language is the sole reason for a sluggish Indain IT market Devita wrote.

”You can't blame the multinational software corporations here. The government should build a common operating system with the partnership of India's software giants and create a standard platform. Many states such as Tamil Nadu have made brilliant e-governance programs, but in Tamil. They don't speak Hindi, and it would be tough to export their program even within the states of India.” Devita stated in her WSJ article...
