what is development for bihar!

Last friday being good friday was a good day for a visit to the newly inaugrated P&M mall and cinepolis. It seemed as if people all over the city was present there that day to celebrate this very development with big bazar!.. What a scenario it was to watch people crawling on all the floors with great excitement and amusement.. even the product quality was good and worth purchasable..while coming out of the mall I felt the breeze of development blowing aroud myself..I walked out of the mall with proud and a smile on the face of having the first mall in our city...when I began proceeding towards my home..i thought of eating icecream..i stopped at the vendor and helped myself with an icecream..as soon as i removed my eays from the tasty stuff i found a person sitting by the side of the road drinking water from a pit by the side of a road.. wen I asked the vendor, he replied of water crisis and tubewells being dried up....my smile vanished...n proud changed into disgust....
I began thinking...what development is in the real sense..my intellect said... a state which do not possess the basic requirements of the people like water and electricity..how come that state can be declared doing progress...construction of malls and halls nowhere is a sign of development...polishing the infrastructure of the capital of the state is more of partiality than progress....when whole statemen is crying and dying for water and electricity how can that state be marked as developing...continuous supply of electricity and unhindered avaliability of water is needed before we proceed for malls and halls...

Anna and Media changing colours

Anna Hazare, a name which kept the media and therefore the whole country engrossed for a whole week needs no introduction. To succeed, a plan needs a proper strategy and a witty presentation, so that the stars can turn favourable.  This is what happened with the 21^st century’s so called Gandhi alias Hazare. As awesome the place Jantar Mantar was as much suitable the time ( after World Cup and before IPL) also was.

Anna turned the cards favourable for him with a single word ‘CORRUPTION’, a term which does not even have a specific definition. Nonetheless, the whole country stood for him and shouted slogans against corruption before television cameras. Even the social networking sites, like, Facebook and Twitter were also going gaga over this political fast until death drama. Youngsters were arguing with each other over Anna. But, the silly reality was that they neither knew about Anna and nor the lokpal bill.

As soon as Anna broke his fast and gulped down the orange juice, the favourable cards changed their colours. Then the supporters now became critics and the picture presented by media again became confusing. The first and foremost ethics of journalism say that media must not take sides because it’s work is just to disseminate the information as it is. But, what is evident is that, some media houses are continuously adding to the woes of Anna and some are still on the support mode.

What is strange is that Anna himself is trying to catch media’s attention, not to tell people what is to be done against corruption but explaining and clarifying his position. This sort of political drama creates abhorrence among people and compels them to distrust the so called social icons.

In the blind race of becoming Gandhi Anna seem to forget the negative role for which media was gearing up. The credibility of the accusations made and the CD’s found cannot be proved by anyone. But, what seem certain is that this sort of activities will keep on providing spices to the media and entertainment to the people in leisure for gossiping and chatting over issues like corruption.

Mission: A promise accomplished!

What a humdinger of a match! It was an ecstasy to watch this kind of a cricket match and more than that being on the victorious side. When the game started at 2 P.M with the toss, people doubted team India’s loss at the toss. Superstition claimed that it may have a great effect on this game and indeed it had. Losing the toss and going for fielding was the first thing that seemed to be heavy on the Indian side. The influx of Srilankan runs after the tenth over and the stupendous ton by Mahela Jaywardhane was the second nail that was supposed to be put in the coffin of India’s defeat. Still, some hope was rumbling inside the veins of the 121 crore people of the country. Cricket is said to be a game of uncertainty, and the Indian fans are well know to match it. Anyways, then began the highly electrifying second chase innings for victory. Everybody’s breathe became uncontrolled and got stuck in the stomach when shewag left the field just on the second ball of malinga. This they believed was the third blow to the Indian side. A few overs had just crossed by and Sachin- Gambhir where picking up the heat and our breathes were easing when sachin left the ground and people were completely shocked aspiring it to be the last nail in the coffin of defeat.

But, as said never loose hope strategy again worked out and India started the chase with pure dedication. Gautam Gambhir’s  knock helped to push some nails in the outward direction. His partnership with Virat Kohli was building up and the people again saw a ray of hope when Virat got bowled over and left the field in agitation. Now was the time when someone as responsible and as clam as our skipper was needed to take India to victory. Dhoni was running out of form and therefore people had little expectation for him. But, what a charisma he created on the field in the final of the world cup. He needs to be saluted for that. His patience and clam and decisions all worked together at this moment and helped himself and his country to reach the victory. Slowly and steadily all the nails came out and the coffin was open where stayed the surprise in form of glowing and shining world cup.

Above everything it was promise once made that was being fulfilled. It was a promise made form captain cool to the greatest cricket star ever, sachin tendulkar. It doesn’t seem that if sachin would have completed his tons ton he would have been so happy as he was yesterday without it. Winning was the ultimate thing that not only brought happiness to them but to the whole nation.
