Anna Hazare - Fight for Jan Lokpal Bill by Modern Day Gandhian

10:35 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
Its been a quite hectic month where we enjoyed every bit of it. Icing on the case was the win of the Team India in the Finals. We all celebrated it like anything, It was the moment we all waited for so many years. I was relieved by one thing that I wont need to see those 1983 winning pictures, I am sure many of you must have felt the same. It was the day in our life where we wanted to celebrate, be it a friend or a stranger. We all were shouting for India, the Team India. It was once in life time moment and Thank God we experience it.

Many of you or some of you must have thought that this is another blog for world cup. Actually wanted to write about the win but there is more important is happening now in our nation. We are done with the celebrations, now we need to concentrate on problem at hand. I think its the world cup celebrations which must have prompted the social activist to go ahead with this movement.

The passion we all shown on the street, we need to show it now. Anna Hazare is the flag bearer of this movement. He has fought with these people all his life so rest assure that we have a right person leading this movement. I have know this person for many years, I always boast about the fact that we hail from same district as mine 'Ahmednagar' [and Zaheer Khan :)]. He was the fore front of the movement for Right To Information. If its not been his efforts we would not had this act implemented.

Even I also know very little about the person who is the most important person in India right now. As usual I googled some information so lets get so more knowledge about the man of the moment.

Anna Hazare is one of India's well-acclaimed social activists. A former soldier in the Indian army, Anna is well known and respected for upgrading the ecology and economy of the village of Ralegan Siddhi which is located in the drought prone Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state. The erstwhile barren village has metamorphosed into a unique model of rural development due to its effective water conservation methods, which made the villagers self-sufficient. Earlier, the same village witnessed alcoholism, utter poverty and migration to urban slums. 

Inspired by Hazare’s unique approach of salvaging a hopeless village, the state government has implemented the `Model Village’ scheme as part of its official strategy. Hazare is now synonymous with rural development in India.


Its because of his effort that act like RTI came to existing, he has fought many such battles in most corrupt state in India obviously Maharashtra. Its because of these corrupt politicians we have lagged behind other states. It the person like anna hazare who is continuously fighting the battle against corrupt people.

I am really amazed by the recent activity, truly it is unique to India. When I wrote my last blog about Egyptian Revolution 2.0, I was thinking of such a revolution 5 years down the line. Even though there is no similarity between these two movements. It would be foolish to compare Manmohan Singh to Hosni Mubarak. He even cannot dictate to his own misters, dictating the nation is

Many of might think that we have the law like 'Right To Information' then "Why do we need another law?". It straight forward answer, RTI can be used to unearth the Scams by getting information. It this act who has brought so many scam in public notice. The problem with these noticed scam was that there was not a law who will make sure that the trial will happen speedily. As in most of the previous scams those politicians or bureaucrats either got retired or died but no one got the punishment.

We need this Jan th Lokpan Bill which will sure insure the speedy trial and punishment. We must have this tough law against these corrupt people. Following are some of the links by which you can be part of this movement.

Its a now or never time for the India. We are developing at the rate of 7-8%, which for some would see very high. If you look at the potential of India, it can exceed any number ever 12-15% growth is possible if we consider. I am firm believer in the History, it has the habit of repeating itself. History of India has show that once our nation was the richest nation in the world. Its in our had to make sure that we make our country, the richest country in the world.

For this to happen we got to do away with this corrupt politicians. I am also believer that these politicians are the impression of the society at large. We have seen enough, this time it has to over. We Indians are very passionate and forgiving people. We have moved on our journey to the greatness but I think the biggest obstacles of that journey will be corruption. In my previous blogs I have been very critical of this subject. I have always emphasized on the impact of the corruption in our daily lives. This menace has deprived India to it rightful place in the World.

I heard one of the congress spokesman saying that "Anna should not put the gun to the Governments Head". I think he forgot that there was a person in him party who used weapon of "Satyagrah" to fight British. If they don't do it now then I am afraid his words may come true, as week know what is happening in the Tribal Area's. Those people didn't had the means of laws to fight against Government so they picked up weapons. I think government should not force us to emulate the poor tribal's of this country.

Lets not overlook now because Its now or never time of our live. If we don't make a difference now it would be too late in the future. I had this feeling of helplessness for too long, Anna has shown us the way to look forward to better future. Lets help him to help us to realized our dream of country where there is no corruption. This time we need to come together and convey the message loud and clear

Lanka Dahan in Ram Nagari - India vs Sri Lanka

12:57 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
Wait is over now, as India has reached to the finals of the Cricket World Cup 2011. Our generation specially has waited this moment for 8 years. Last time when we were in the finals was in 2003, in South Africa.  Everybody wants to forget that game where Zaheer Khan started the bowling and Ricky Ponting's beating of Indian bowling. Those memories are still fresh in the minds of Indians, they were very happy till the first ball  was bowled.

Not to forget the embarrassing loss to Lankans in the semifinals of 1996 world cup, where we couldn't even finish the match. Everyone know how it helped to finished the carrier of Vinod Kambi, who cried like a child whose mom is lost. It took a while to forget that loss; it was the same Lankans who defeated us in semifinals at mecca of Indian Cricket, Eden Gardens. Both the times India defeated Pakistan, this time also no different scenario, but the only difference is that, the occasion is big. This is final of the World Cup and India is asking another revenge for that Kolkata Loss.

I always wondered which is the team who plays with the aggression against India??. Strangely enough the name which comes to my mind is SRI LANKA. This island nation with population of 20 million people has produced some of the most unusual and natural talent. Even if we don't take the match against them seriously, they have been very competitive against us. May be because of the history, many of them must still think that LTTE was supported by India. So there is no love lost between Indian's and Sri Lankan's. Historically these small nations jealous of big nation for obvious reasons and this mentality has crippled into the cricketers. People sometimes jokingly say that; when u ask for map of India, you get the map of Sri Lanka free. ha ha ha…

There were lots of skeptics who were rooting for India's ouster from the world cup. They had their reason about the weak bowling performance of the India. As tournament progressed Indian team has proved that, their bowling is not as weak as it made out to be. Bowling was looking weak due to pathetic fielding but once it got improved out bowling also look well. They are peaking at right time, it is the field how exerts pressure on the batsmen to make mistake so its combination which needs to work. It seems that, it’s working in our favor. So it’s been a big slap on the face of the skeptics who were hedging their bets against India.

Sri lankan Team was in the same group as the Pakistan and had very easy outing in the league rounds. In quarter and semi's also they faced the teams which were not good at playing spin hence got collapsed. There top 4 batsmen had feat of runs where they used the slow and low condition of the local pitches to their potential. Sri Lanka has always been considered as the best team at home condition.

Their top 4 batsmen are in form of their life. Everyone has crossed 300+ runs, bowling looks good with Murali leading the way. There are always been the best fielding side supporting there bowling. In all, Sri Lankan team looks good but, if you have a close look, there is one problem. Their lower middle order hasn't had too much to bat. Now with the injury of the Angelo Mathews, it looks more vulnerable. Murali, even though he is saying that, he is 100% fit, he is lying.

What I mean to say is; they have good team but not as good as team Indian. We should not let their team to play the injured player like Murali. Many will say that "whats the harm in playing Murali". I would say "It is against rule to play the murali and against spirit of the game". Talking about spirit of the game, these Islanders never played game in the true spirit.

Not to forget the incident of Suraj Randiv who deliberately bowled a NO ball to deny Virendra Sehwag a well deserved Hundred. All the blame was later put on to poor bowler who only listened to the seniors like Dilshan and Jayawardane. We are very forgiving but these small countries make use of that soft heart. We have to be ruthless and show these lankan's theire true place.

They are confident that, they can easily beat 'Men in Blue'. We could see that attitude in their eyes. I think it’s time to take the revenge of the loss of 1996 semi finals. These Lankan look very soft spoken and sweet but I am damn sure that they will show their true colors when they celebrate.

If you think of Team India, I am bit relaxed and it is quite unusual feeling. Our team is in World cup finals and I am not that worried. May be that, I lost all the feeling or drained the emotions for Pakistan match. Really I am lot relaxed about this match. There could be this reason that we have played Lankans many a times and have beaten them in their own backyard.

This team is peaking at right time; we have fantastic openers who have no comparison in the world. We do have excellent bowlers as well, because of whom we are number one test team and will be best one day team too. They look less glamorous against our batting line up but they are good. We have top 7, most destructible batsmen in the world and cool captain like MAHI, the one who can lead the team of such extraordinary talented people.

Not to forget the great man "Sachin Tendulkar", who has the dream of winning the world cup for India. This person always reminds all of us that, this is remaining for him and that is winning a world up. I never ever thought that India will reach the finals and will be so close to winning. It’s the dream of the little master and he taught that to many of the Indians. This great thinking of Sachin has catapulted him into the greatness.

Its time for burning the dreams of these Lankan, they have come to ram nagari (mumbai), where “Ram” (Sachin) is waiting with his “Vanar Sena” (Team India). Last time Ram and his Sena had to travel to Lanka but it’s kalyug and these Lankans have come to get themselves 'Dahan'. ha ha ha ha.. History Awaits us, so

BEST OF LUCK, TEAM INDIA!!!!
