COMEBACK OF THE 'PROBLEM CHILD'

Today's blog is written in admiration to the fabulous comeback staged by the problem child of Indian cricket 'S.SREESANTH'.It was surprising to see a cool,composed and focussed Sreesanth back on field.I never knew that staying off field for a while was equivalent to meditating under a 'gaya tree' It was an 'enlightened' version of sreesanth that we got to see on the field.Few months back he was a guy who seriously needed a revision of all those moral lessons taught at school,playing a pied piper to controversies.his antics and capers at the playfield were in the limelight for all the of wrong reasons.be it for the infamous 'slap and cry' episode with Harbhajan or for sledging,yelling at players etc.the attitude of this guy screwed up things for him.Staying off the field couldnt even
completely mitigate the flow of controversies.Kerala cricket Association came to the fore with complaints against him for his abscence from the practise sessions citing flimsy and insufficient reasons
criticisms and controversies apart, i believe that this guy has got the potential to work wonders, if his talent and attitude are in perfect tango he is gonna go places.
It is heartening that finally this guy has realised that inswingers and yokers can do the job rather than gettin on nerves of opponents

BOTTOMLINE :Be it Mr.Karunakaran who has tried everything in the books to reinstate his son to the congress or Sreesanth's mom who has been paying frequent visits to Guruvayoor Temple.The Lord never disappoints his devotees

THE RESILIENT INDIAN

Today,the country relives the frightening 60hr ordeal that had traumatised the entire nation and had everyone of us in tenterhooks.This inauspicious date marks an year since the fateful 26/11/2008 ,when time mercilessly took our near,dear and beloved ones by forcing on us unrelenting pain and sorrow.It appended another bloody and inglorious chapter to the pages of history.Despite its best efforts to garner global support in the fight against terror and to isolate the countries that have been promoting it, very little seems to have been done by our government in preempting a future strike and beefing up the internal security.Our public places,
be it a market place or a railway platform still remain vulnerable spots and soft targets for another attack.within a year after the attack terrorist masterminds like David coleman headley and Tahawur Rana had the blueprint ready for another attack.The recent blasts in Assam underscores the need for an effective security system .verbal assurances apart,the govt needs to look into these pressing matters that have been glaring upon us

The spirit of resilience of our nation has always amazed me..Resilience is an inbred mechanism in every Indian. Bloody wars have been fought here,powerful explosions have ripped through its heartland killing its brave sons and daughters.communal carnage have taken place,people have been divided on racial and linguistic
lines.Even after 60 of independence there exists a million reasons strong enough to undermine even the strongest of empires,Still she endures.Resilience is a virtue that is ingrained in us, we have learned the hard way out.Undaunted by problems,unbenting in the face of crisis and with an uncrushed spirit, steely resolve and unwavering dedicatin lets wow to make our country a safe and better place

LIBERHAN : THE THIRD UMPIRE

I was just 6 years old when the hardcore hindutva preachers vandalised the Babri Masjid mosque.17 years hence,the liberhan commission which had been appointed then, to enqire into the outrageous act of vandalism is all set to table its findings and decisions.India might be the only country in the world that has spend more money on buying ink and paper for commission reports rather than alleviating other grave matters that have been squeezing its neck,and trying to choke it.Maybe, a random census would even prove that this country has more commissions to its name than hospitals or schools.Doesn't it sound dismaying???"only God knows what is happening in this country"
The name "LIBERHAN COMMISSION" has always struck me like the title of a much touted megabudget bollywood release.and as always,it has and had its cup of controversies,contradictions,denials etc.It is beyond doubt that after this initial uproar and hullaballoo this will soon die out paving wayfor a bigger "HEADLINE GRABBER". In this country,appointment of commissions and committees has become an order of the day.even kindergarten schools appoint committees to look into the misconduct of their students.Is there the need for a third umpire to decide on matters when truth is obvious and glaring upon our face,when things are as transparent as SAINT-GOBAIN glasses especially when the perpetrators are still at large and entire nation knows the"you -know-who"
"Justice delayed is justice denied".I Guess 17years is not that long a period for justice to be considered denied.After all ,we still belive in the concept of "heaven and hell".lets hope with all out hearts and best of our hopes that the culprits would be punished in hell
