Shiv Sena against Sachin Tendulkar now !! Big Shame !!

The Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna has launched a no-holds-barred attack on Sachin Tendulkar, a day after he celebrated 20 glorious years in international cricket.

The newspaper has taken on Sachin for his recent comments for saying that he was proud to be a Marathi but was an Indian first.

On its editorial page, Saamna has asked Sachin Tendulkar to concentrate on his game of cricket.

The editorial said, "There was no reason for Sachin to make this comment. Sachin has got 'run out' on the 'pitch of Marathi mindspace'. Sachin is the badshah of cricket and he should stick to cricket. He should mind his game and not comment on these things."

China set to take on Obama by selling advanced jets to Pakistan

BEIJING: China has sent out an interesting signal ahead of US president Barack Obama's scheduled visit to Beijing by offering a set of advanced fighter jets to Pakistan. It has agreed to sell $1.4 billion worth of jets to Islamabad days ahead of the planned visit of the US president Barack Obama to Shanghai and Beijing on November 15-18.

The move is expected to jolt the US administration as it works on notes and talking points for Obama's meetings with Chinese leaders. He is expected to discuss Beijing's relationship with India and its role in internal conflicts in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Beijing is keen to reduce US influence on Pakistan, which will make it easier for it to deal with India, sources said. Washington's recent decision to extend massive financial assistance to Islamabad is seen in some quarters as a policy setback for China.

Diversity unites INDIA, but not HINDI

A day after Samajwadi party MLA Abu Azmi was slapped by MNS members in the Maharashtra Assembly for taking the oath in Hindi, his Mumbai store was stoned by the Shiv sena. Anti-Hindi sentiments have had a long history in India and regional language activists opposed to Hindi exist in many Indian state. But the preeminence of Hindi is being challenged whereas English is seen as aspirational.

Either Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Karnataka , it happened everywhere. I definitely think that people's representatives should be able to speak the language of the state. But nobody can accept what happened in the Maharashtra Assembly simply because one cannot take law into their hands.

The Psychology Of Guilt

The Psychology Of Guilt

  • Most people have been taught to feel guilty since childhood.
  • Guilt can be used to manipulate your behaviour.
  • The need for external approval makes guilt work.

Most people have, at some point in their life, been conditioned (learnt) to feel guilty. This guilt usually came from family, friends, society and/or religion who consciously or unconsciously, taught us to feel guilty for thinking or acting in a certain way.

Take childhood for example. As children we were constantly reminded of our bad behaviour, and when we did something wrong, we were told by our parents or teachers how “disappointed” they were in us.

The tragic incident involving Dr. Y S Rajashekhar Reddy (YSR)

The tragic incident involving Dr. YSR, Dr, Subramanyan (IAS), John Wesley (CSO), Group Captain S.K. Bhatia and M.S. Reddy shook the nation this week.

Dr.YSR, no doubt, had risen as a colossal figure in AP politics. He was perceived as a people’s man and almost liked by everyone irrespective of their party affiliations. In an unprecedented move, even neighboring states of AP, like TN and Karanataka declared a holiday in mark of their mourning.

While several investigations would happen from now-on for uncovering the technical and non-technical aspects of this incident, the humane aspect of this incident may or may not be uncovered.

The prime technical aspect of this incident ofcourse is the non-functioning of ELT, which seems to have become a name-sake non-functioning device in most of the choppers. It was introduced few years back and typical of the Indian attitude, unless a stick is wielded, its implementation is lax and procedural. The secondary technical aspect is the usage of SMS to detect the site.

History of Friendship Day

History of Friendship Day

The tradition of celebrating Friendship Day began in 1935 when the US Congress decided to dedicate a day in the honor of friends.

Though it is not known exactly what were the reasons that went into the making of this day,
the retrospection of the world scenario of those times can lead us to an understanding.

With the devastating effects of the First World War still showing and increasing hostilities, mistrust and hatred between countries providing the perfect conditions for another imminent battle, there was a greater need for friendship and camaraderie not only among nations
but also among individuals.

Hence, the US Congress decided to designate the first Sunday of the month of August as Friendship Day and with a formal proclamation in 1935, officially declared the occasion a holiday dedicated in the honour of friends and friendship. Since then, celebration of National Friendship Day became an annual event. The lofty idea of honoring the beautiful relationship of friendship caught on with the people, particularly the youngsters all over the country, and in no time Friendship Day became a highly popular festival.
