June to September 2011

Domestic: Back to blogging!!! Greetings.. It was a topsy - turvy 4 months. Lots of ups and downs.. But due to God's grace and Elders Blessings went on smoothly. Mother was in hospital for 4 days - little concern. Both the daughters Sai Smriti and Sai Roshinii was also fell ill - with Sai Roshinii not going to school for about a week. But as Vidhu was at that time having Quarterly Vacations schedule was not affected. Vidhu as well as myself was also fell to Flu Virus and i didn't attended office for a day. Weather was particularly bad - rain, Sun, Damp weather in a circle it coming like that and it affected us.

Politics : The most amazing moment is the Anna Hazare campaign for Jan Lokpal Bill - Anna Hazare went for FASTING satyagraha movement for 11 days to get the Jan Lokpal Bill passed in Parliament. It was a daily show, drama in Television with Live coverage for 24*7, show by Kabir Bedi, Fight between Swami Agnivesh and Team Anna. Went from one pole to another pole. The best part is the Goof-up by the UPA-II in handling the crisis. First they arrested Anna on the day of Fastine and released on the same day, but anna hazare didn't come out of the Tihar Jail for 3 days. Then government capitulated and gave him permission first for 7 days, 15 days then till whatever time he wants - firs in a park then in Ramlila grounds - a classic case of mis-handling (how a crisis should not be handled). Initially PC and Kapil Sibal were handling Team Anna later both of them were replaced by Salman Khurshid, Ajay Maken, Vilasrao Deshmukh.. Then BJP jumped into the bandwagon - queered the pitch (try to gain advantage in the muddy waters)supported the movement, LK Advani announced a rath-yatra against the corruption etc., BJP CM in Karnatake - B S Yeddyurappa resigned due to corruption charges.. Last week Narendra Modi conducted Sadbhavana Mission - Fasting for 3 days for communal Harmony (ironically in Gujarat), counter fast by congress led by shankarsinh waghela.. Good Time pass by 24*7 coverages.. In the end common people couldn't recognise or understood what is Jan lokpal Bill and what is Lokpall Bill - but wanted No Corruption!!!!

Now 2G is not ending - past two days PC is under the scanner (because of a note given by the Finance Secretary with approval from Pranab Mukherjee ) stating that Raja and PC decided that 2G spectrum can be allotted for 2008 in 2001 prices when the Finance Committe and DOT recommended Auctioning or atleast in 2008 prices.. PC has to answer, he is keeping silent - maybe there willbe NEWS after PM comes back from UN..

Sikkim Great Tragedy - earthquake measuring 6.8 in Richter scale . Still not able to estimate the losses as the terrain is still unapproachable. Still some places are to be covered. Even in normal times Sikkim is in a very difficult terrain - distance between two villages or cities or towns are in Located in Hilly places with difficult terrains. And due to Earthquake landslides and also heavy rain lots of places making the rescue efforts very difficult. Some places it took more than 4 days to reach the place after the quake struck on Sunday 6.11 PM 18th September 2011. Till yesterday it was estimated about 80 deaths in sikkim itself and Sikkim CM announced that Financial Loss is about crores of rupees. The earthquake affected places or felt in WB, Delhi, Nepal, Jharkand, patna etc., As usual Army (ITBP) eventhough they suffered helped the victims and people of Sikkim tirelessly.

Cricket: India after a high of World Cup victory went to Westindies and started with One Day matches 5 in all - with top players missing and Suresh Raina leading the side beat the westindis 3-2. Then Test series started with MSD back inthe squad but God, Sehwag, Zaheer missing the action won the series 1-0 .. but it was not a clinical finish victory it was hard fought in a sense eventhough we came un-scathed. Rahul Dravid is the only batsman who socored a century.
Then India went to England for 4 match test series and 5 one-day matches - it was supposed to be a great series alas!! we were white-washed 4-0, pathetic showing by Indians in all departments of the game (fielding, bowling and batting) with only the WALL coming out with 3 centuries in the series. GOD - didnt scored a century so didn't achieved the landmark of Hundreds of Hundreds. It was a very low-key series for GOD... Injury to all the key players in the series - was a pathetic one and showed us in very poor light (Injury Management) Zaheer got injured in the first innings of first test in lords after bowling only 13 overs (he took two wickets) - this changed the complexion of the whole series and india in all the matches were with only 3 main bowlers.. It was a great miss by zak. England was much better prepared and India couldn't faced the onslaught and there was never a comeback. India also lost the 5 match one-day series - missing 8 players who played and won the world cup just 3 months back (all with injuries)...

Australia beat the SL - 1 Nil in the test series in SL.. Comeback for Aus. Turmoil in Aussie Cricket after the release of the Argus committee report after the debacle of Ashes Series..

Formula 1 - Sebastian Vettel is roaring to another F1 Crown with all others are in Catching Up Mode only. Ferrari, Mclaten, Renault all are no match to Red Bul, they are miles ahead of others. Newdelhi is hosting the first ever F1 race in India - October 2011. Going to be a huge success...No Doubt.. Good work by Jaypee Industries who are the sponsors and owners of the Race Circuit in Noida..

EPL - Started in the the same vein with ManU going strong... Arsenal dipping... Chelsea struggling lost to Manu last week. It is the start of the season - so we cannot predict. Anything can happen in future.
