I love a muslim girl - she is very wise , cultured , calm and very polite - ? but --

It is very unfortunate about the intercaste marriages. Marriage between two adults is not a simple man-woman coming together, but much more than that. Each caste is a sum total of its way of life -from eating habits to worshipping habits. Certain beliefs and outlook at life. These young kids, driven by the wreck caused by the harmonal influence, are blind to the reality. It only strikes later in their life when the harmone-effect wears off and emotional and spirutaul feelings start replacing the same. By the time it is too late. It is perfectly possible for two human beings to choose life of togetherness even if they are not in direct contact ( like the situations of intercaste marriage) as long as the value-system is the same for these two. Quite true if hey hail from same caste, though there could be some minor differences owing to educational and affluence levels of the respective individuals.

i really dont support inter cast inter religion marriages but i dont stop a person from marrying a Muslim girl or vice versa.....bcz at the end of the day its their life and they have to decide whom they want to be as a life partner.....

frnds, wts your take on dis..??????

If it has to be a morning in B’lore, it has to be @ Nandi Hills!

Yup, I strongly feel so esp. after my recent visit to Nandi Hills. This was not my first visit to this absolutely serene place which is just 60 kms from Bangalore but the difference this time was that I had an overnight stay at the hills there. Thanks to our friends who insisted to stay there at night & then enjoy the quietude of that place. I must say that the difference in experience was startling.

 Now what better place than Nandi Hills which is so close to Bangalore & yet seems to be so far from the regular hustle-bustle of the city. I’m sure anybody who has lived in Bangalore for even few months would have definitely gone to this place at least once. But I’m not sure how many of them would have done the mistake of doing a day trip like us? Trust me, if you really want to enjoy this place you need to experience the morning of Nandi Hills. I don’t remember when was the last time when I had breathed such fresh air, felt such lovely breeze, seen such picturesque sunrise & played amongst such vivid clouds. The descent of cloud outside our rooms or on the plateau was such that the literal phrase “playing with clouds” seemed to be absolutely real at that moment. 

Have a look on the above pictures, & you’ll know why I say now – “If it has to be a morning in Bangalore, it has to be @ Nandi Hills”:

To add to this quaint experience, the weather that day was simply awesome. Heavy rains with that typical smell of wet soil all around! Ahhhh :-). If you wanna go for a short & economical break from Bangalore, then in this weather, Nandi Hills is surely one of the perfect options for you...!

Dravid..the man who made India believe..!

Rahul Dravid finally calls it a day from One-Day Internationals. My only memory of being absolutely in love with someone is this man. Call me star-struck, but I never have rated anyone above him. His game, his style, his way of talking and the ability to remain calm and composed in the worst of all situations and I think I can go on endlessly. I must have been an eight-year-old when I first saw him play, and ever since there was not anyone whom I have liked better.

I still have a treasured scrapbook, which has all the possible pictures and newspaper cuttings of Dravid's articles, ads and those cricket cards we used to get in packets of chips. 4th May 2003 was a teary day in my life, being one out of many women who thought Dravid was the true love of my life. (That is the day he married Vijeta Pendharkar -- one lucky woman!)

Ups, downs and those quite phases - Dravid has seen it all, heard it all. Nevertheless, he stood there strong playing his game, his way and simply be himself. Many found his way too traditional to be acceptable in today's world. Many wrote him off much before his time. However, Dravid silently stood his ground, played his game, worked hard and kept himself in the game.

I remember that disastrous World Cup tour in 2007 after which everyone called him names, blamed him for the embarrassment that India faced. The man remained calm, not because he could not answer but because silence is always the stronger man's weapon. Hailed as 'The Wall' of Team India, Dravid has always been a team man; someone who has performed when nothing else worked. His records do the talking. As much of a cliché as it may sound, Dravid is indeed the unsung hero of our times.

Devendra Prabhudesai aptly named his book on Dravid 'The Nice Guy Who Finished First'. Dravid has always had an aura of being the nice guy around. Someone who would never say no, someone who would have that warm smile even on the worst of days. Seldom have we seen an animated Dravid but one memory of an elated Dravid will remain embedded in every fan's memory when he jumped with joy after getting his double century against Australia.

It is a fitting farewell for Dravid as it ends where it all began. Dravid will be seen in the Indian blues for the last time today playing against England. He made his Test debut against England in 1996 at Lord's. A memorable debut it was, he scored a spirited 95. Dravid had made a place for himself in the world of cricket for eternity.

As a fan it gets increasingly difficult for me to imagine the game being played without Dravid, it's an end of an era. The good part, however, is that with his formidable form, we can always be assured of a lot of good Test cricket left in him. Dravid will forever remain the shy guy who stood tall amongst his peers and performed for India in the most difficult of times.

TWO TEARDROPS

Two little teardrops were floating down the river of life. One drop said to the other, "I am the teardrop of a girl who loved a man and lost him." Who are you? "Well, I am the teardrop of the girl who won him." 

Love is very strange. Love is unconditional commitment to an imperfect individual. You need it but when you love, it's like destining yourself for pain. You become addicted and dependent on the person. You become strong and at the same time, you open yourself up to being hurt. Love can make you bear any kind of pain and any kind of sacrifice. It can also make you feel stupid and act stupidly. Sometimes when you love and end up giving so much of yourself, subconciously you only discover how much you've given when the person you love hurts you or has to say goodbye. 

Then you realize, an important part of yourself is already with that person. It goes away when he leaves and you are left with a sickening, empty feeling inside. 

Tears are bound to shed from your eyes no matter how you force yourself to keep them in. Most teardrops ever shed on this earth have been for love or lack of it. When tears dry, a silent loss sticks to your heart for a long, long time. 

Well, that's what you get for caring so much about someone. But how can you regret it? To give yourself freely and lovingly is the most beautiful thing you can do. Loving makes you real. Loving also makes you cry. And that is why a teardrop is also BEAUTIFUL....

Cricket is the sport which most loved and popular game in India than in any other country in this world. Though it is created and spreaded by Britishers but the game is most popular in our country rather in England.

We all  gathered on the college ground near on Wednesday at 1 AM to kick off the match. I never expected that all 25 boys will turn up. After gathering, there went discussion of who will lead the team, who will become the captain of the team? I said, guys, let SACHIN CHAURASIA be the captain of the team because of his awesome record as captain, and all of the teams members agreed to my views and he was made the captain of the team and all got agreed to my suggestion and we formed two teams of 12 players each. Then we went on for a toss in which my team won and was made to field bat. 

 It was a 8 overs friendly match and we scored 84 runs in 8 overs for loss of 8 wickets. No one was high scorer as few batsmen scored on an average of 15-20 runs.

Then it was their turn to bat and achieve the target. For the first 4 overs, our score was 41 for the loss of 3 wickets.  In 5th over ,DILNAWAZ came on bowling. With DILNAWAZ bowling all over the place, we were tensed and the match seemed going out of the hand..But then a brilliant effort from RANA we finally we able to tie the match with the score of our juniors being 84 for 7 after 8 overs.

After the match being tied, the umpires decided to have a 1 over super-over to decide the winner of the match.

Then the real tension begins. "Who to bowl the super over?????"

Our captain "SACHIN" took the ball he said"I will bowl the final over". And with his brilliance with the ball we restricted the juniors to just 6 runs..

With 7 runs needed to win the match, we sent one of our most destructive batsman "GOVIND", who as expected finished the match in just 4 balls..and we won the match..!

SACHIN was once the  the college hero!

                                                                                                                      SACHIN with a smile after yet another win

Review : Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Rating: 3/5 stars.

Star cast: Katrina Kaif, Imran Khan, Ali Zafar.

What’s Good: The entertaining screenplay; the emotional undercurrent of the drama; Katrina Kaif’s fantastic performance; the hit music and the eye-pleasing song picturisations.

What’s Bad: The screenplay dips at a few places; a few comic scenes seem forced.

On the whole, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan has reasonable entertainment value, very good music, exciting song picturisations and an impressive start to make it a rewarding experience for all concerned.

An Open Letter..!

This is the most craziest letter sample written by my friend "SHUBHAM PODDAR" on 6th Sep,2011.
I really loved the way he expressed his thoughts about the hostel and problem faced by him while staying there.

I really wish that the hostel authorities should read this once and make a step forward to solution for such problems...!
 A Letter to think about....

When I Fall In Love..!!

If there was one star in the night sky for everytime I thought of you, there wouldnt nearly be enough, not even if you times them by two.

To the girl I see everywhere,

If i could do one thing for you I would hold you till you knew everything was ok.

If you could do one thing for me, I would never ask but all I would want is for you to talk to me.

I love therefore I am..!

Love can cause war; in the cases of love of religion and the love of money; war can cause people to steal and murder, it can lead to suicide and shatter marriage and family life, it can spread disease and give birth to evil; but love is eternal and cannot be eliminated, it is what makes people human. "I think therefore I am" may also be translated as "I love therefore I am". 

I was unable to ignore her innocent face..!!!!

This photo was taken by Me(Siddharth Jha) when I was on way to my home town. I was in the tempo and as I look my left side I saw a sweet little girl, hanging along with shutter. I waved  her and she gave me a priceless smile.

I just sign here that I am going to click her photo now. and at least she made a funny and innocent face as you seen in below picture..!!

Real Learning Is a Lifelong Process ..!

It is so sad to know that when someone has already graduated from college or what, he stops learning. Yes, as if he has already absorbed every knowledge in the world and taking precious time from work or what to read books or what, is somewhat an impossibility. Well, of course, there are those who are wild and wide readers, but the intent of this article of mine is not about them.

Learning is a continuous process; it never stops. But, when the mind is lazy absorbing new knowledge or what problems set in. Yes, with technological advancement and the information superhighway are in our midst, it would be difficult to ignore all the chances of getting new knowledge, skills and the like to benefit oneself from this scenario.

So, it is great a habit to acquire new skills, knowledge and the like for self-improvement or empowerment.

Aim for the better when better is better than best. Yes, best is final--but better is a fun journey towards excellence. Perfection is nothing but a fool's dream. A journey is an adventure and destination is the dead end..!!

There is no day when I don't remember you..!!!!

It is impossible to forget you there is no day when I don't remember you.

Your magic is spread such that I find you in every place.

You presence is felt every moment, every season is your season

I make thousands of excuses but without you heart doesn't listen.

More I try to forget you........more I find you near me...

You don't know how much I love you..!

love is blind.......!!!

Once there was a BLIND girl. Every1 HATED her Except her Boyfrend. She'd 

ALWAYS said to him,"If I was able to see, I wud've Married You." ..One 

day All of a sudden, sum1 donated the eyes to the girl. She opened her 

eyes,and found that her BF was ALSO BLIND! The Boy then asked 

her,"Will You Marry Me Now?" ..The girl .........REJECTED!..The Boy jst 

turned, began to walk away,& said in a low voice,"PLZ Take Care of 

My Eyes."

Rahane -- the next big hope for Indian cricket

Ajinkya Rahane is a class act – 17 hundreds and 18 fifties from just 48 first-class matches at the stupendous average of nearly 68 speaks volumes for his the precocious 23-year-old’s talent. One of the successes in the recent Emerging Players Tournament in Australia, the Mumbai youngster made an impact straight away on his debut with the Indian senior side on Wednesday.

Opening the Indian innings in the T20 international against England at Old Trafford, Rahane was confidence personified as he treated the English opening bowlers with disdainfully authority.

Not many would have expected him to get a game in the one-day series that follows, but his ballistic 61 off 39 balls at Manchester almost assures him a place in a side that has been struggling right through the tour. Rahane’s infused much confidence down the order and, after being outplayed in the Test series, the Indians definitely had a chance to emerge victorious yesterday.

In my previous article I had mentioned Parthiv Patel as the automatic choice to open the batting with Sachin Tendulkar in the One-Day International (ODI) series against England. Parthiv has done decently well since his comeback into the one-day side late last year and continued that good work into the tour games prior to the one off T20 against England. However, after Rahane’s authoritative batting at Manchester, Parthiv is likely to lose out.

Rahane came into the Indian set-up with the reputation of being a solid batsman with a balanced head and good technique. He fits into the classical mould as he is technically correct and plays all the shots. His numbers in the three formats would indicate that he is more comfortable in the longer versions. However, he was absolutely brilliant on his T20 international debut.

Making an international debut can be unnerving in any format. It is the day a young player dreams about for years, and when that turns to reality it is natural to find butterflies in the stomach. Such a scenario becomes even tougher to deal with if you are told to do something outside your comfort zone. Rahane isn’t an opening batsman by trade but was asked to do that important job on his debut which would have put even more pressure on him. Despite all these factors, he looked comfortable in the middle and was up for everything Stuart Broad and Company challenged him with. What it tells us about Rahane is that he has a good game temperament which will help him deal with tough situations in the middle.

The best part about his batting was that he played good cricketing strokes and not agricultural essays – not uncommon to see in T20 cricket. But here was a man who played according to the book and showed that one can play the conventional way in the shortest format. There may have been the odd top edge over short fine-leg, but all the other strokes were natural and the knock was devoid of any slogs. Whenever the English bowlers pitched it short he wasn’t afraid to hook or pull. Any lose delivery was dispatched with disdain.

Two shots stood out: A wristy flick off the pads through midwicket for four to an overpitched delivery by Stuart Broad – reminiscent of Wasim Jaffer, Rahane’s Mumbai teammate. The second was an inside-out shot through cover to the cover boundary off Graeme Swann. The best part about these shots was that his head was absolutely still when he played the ball - sign of class player.

Any Indian cricket fan would have preferred to see Rahane make his first appearance for India in whites as he promises to do very well in the longest format of the game. Nevertheless, a chance to represent the country at the highest level came and he grabbed the opportunity that comes his way.

After Rahul Dravid’s heroics in an otherwise forgettable tour, Ajinkya Rahane’s debut on Wednesday is most heartening for Indian cricket – especially considering the fact that three of its middle-order stalwarts could soon be bidding adieu to the game.
