Hi,

In my opinion, team india players should stop ACTING in commercials and stop the endorsements. They need to know the FACT that only if they PEFORM they will get PAID.
Ya of course, they can get rewards worth MILLIONS if they bring home a cup!! Also non-cricketers like Pawar not should head any sports bodies. It is sad that we in India cannot get out of politics!!

If you happen to drive from Thoothukudi (Tuticorin) to Kanayakyamari, the southern tip of India, it is hard to miss sight of this towering structure, St. Thomas Church, a Roman Catholic Church, located in a small fishing hamlet called Virapandianpatanam. This St. Thomas church was built in 1886 and is known for its Gothic architecture and grandiose. Flanked by St. Thomas Higher Secondary school on one side and Mother Mary grotto on the other this magnificent church could be seen at a distance from the neighbouring villages. The church has blessed many people including dignitaries like Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi on their visit to this village. August 2011 witnessed the church’s quasquicentennial festal celebration which commenced on 6th August and culminated on 15th August 2011. Central to the lives of people who are born or have made this village their home, this church continues to draw thousands of parishioners from different parts of the world all through the ye...

Revamping infrastructure in India

-
The recent rains in India and Mumbai particularly have brought out the woes of infrastructure in the financial capital of India. “India needs $ 320 billion investment in infrastructure alone” said Mr. P Chidambaram , Finance Minister at a conference in London. As India gallops in to a 10% average GDP growth for the next 10- 15 years, the infrastructure needs to cope up with the potential growth. India prides itself in possessing an intellectual labour force, world class business practices, a stable political climate and an effective legal system, however loses out on the infrastructure. How do we revamp the infrastructure and bring it to world class? Sure enough our population is going to be a big challenge, but can also be an opportunity as China showed it to the world. We have a large labour force for infrastructure development, but sadly need the financial muscle for it as the Finance minister pointed out. It can come only from foreign direct investment ( FDI ) in real ...

Anatomy of a half marathon- My 21 km run during Mumbai marathon 2011

-
I have been running half marathon for the past seven years. Barring two editions I have run all the seven editions of Mumbai Marathon. However as I keep getting wiser, read older, I have started running a technical race than the first time when I ran blindly without a technical practice. I wanted to recount the experience of my fifth half marathon with the readers. Prior to the race day, I started having butterflies in my stomach. I started telling myself, why am I nervous. I had been eating mainly Pastas for the past week that my sons started complaining about the food. I was bent on increasing my carbohydrate quotient. I also consumed electrol mixed in water to stop myself from dehydration during the run. I went to sleep early and after tossing left and right managed to sleep well. I woke up at 4.30 am and got ready for the run. When I reached the venue at Bandra Reclamation grounds it was like a mela of spirited runners. The participants have been increasing every year. The air w...
