None is escaped from problems

In my childhood I thought people who are enjoying stardoms are far from real word problems. They don’t need to think for their daily bread and butter. They are living in another earth where problem can never touch any of any of its belongings. But gradually my perceptions got changed and I came to know that every people on this earth are bound to some sort of problems even if our so called celebrities. Cricketers are having problems of retaining their places in team, actors are scaring of losing big assignments, parents are worrying to get their daughters married, students are finding themselves in severe completion to get berth in universities, executives are under tremendous pressure to achieve their targets, politicians are scaring of losing their seats, graduates are desperate to get jobs etc. So the conclusion is no one in this earth is escaped from problems and some how bound to it. Then how life is precious if it’s full of problems?

But I can say human life is worth living as it’s full of problems. Life is enjoyable for them who know how to deal with the problems in better way. Once you get to learn the acts of fighting problems, life will be no more burdens for you; rather you would love to take challenges. To me life means entering a new set of problems after solving the previous set of problems. We must have to get ready for upcoming challenges in our life by knowing this very fact that problems may knock the door at any point of time.

Fighting with problems doesn’t guarantee you success always. Some people links happiness in life to success, but it’s not true. In life success and failure are equally important. That’s why it is said: ‘Failure is the pillar of successes’. People who are determined they learn lessons from their past mistakes and try to do better in their next attempts. So failure doesn’t not mean the end of the life, rather it would be a call for better preparation for next time. See what happened to Sourav Gangually in recent past. This southpaw from west Bengal was ousted from captaincy as well as from the team. The entire nation stood against him. The media, the board and even if his own mentor started to say against him. But thanks to his guts and determination which saw him the way back to team again. He prepared hard and utilized the occasion to his level best in order to make one of the greatest came back in Indian sports history. Not only he returned but banged in his own style which forced his critics to change their views against him. So sometimes failure changes the rest of life because failure can only increase the appetite of success.

Even if you failed from time to time you have to interpret it in other way. May be that was not your cup of tea. That’s not your failure; you tried with lot ways which didn’t work for you. Definitely you are destined with other mission and you need to go for accomplishing this. Had Sachin Ramesh Tedulkar been good in studies, we would have to be deprived from witnessing such a master batsman as he is. Studies were not his cup of tea rather he was more destined to cricket. Thanks God he identified and picked his goal at very early age.

So life is meant for living it in the way you can enjoy it most. Some points are to remember :

  • Success and failure are equally important in some one’s life. You need to learn the lessons from failure and regroup your inner resources for better future preparation.
  • Don’t think yourself inferior to other. If some one is doing better than you in one discipline you can also beat him in other discipline. Just believe that you are more destined to the later job.
  • Make it sure that no one is stealing laugh from you. You are here to enjoy your life to the maximum extent. For anyone or for anything you shouldn’t stop laughing.
  • Problems come and go through out the life. But the must import thing is keeping yourself cool whatever the situation may be. Try to feel easy even if in the hardest moments in your life.
  • Find the reasons of discomforts and try to address the issues immediately. If you still believe you can’t then get out of it immediately and search for your own comfort zone.

So friends I hope you would love to accept challenges in your life and never try to run away from your problems.

This is national interest or something else

Finally left withdrew it's support from UPA Government on nuclear issue. Mr. Manmohan Singh is under immense pressure to save his Government. Political parties which were known as enemies of congress party in recent past are now coming forward to support the Government on this contentious issue. They will vote in favor of Government when opposition will bring no confidence motion on the floor of parliament probably on 11th August. I'm no more interested to delve into details of technicalities involved with the N' deal, because I have very little knowledge in this. But in this present situation I clearly see how all the vested interested are coming together for each other's rescue in the name of safeguarding national interest.

Take example of Samajwadi Party(SP). I couldn't resist myself from suspecting the intention of SP to support it's long time political rival Congress on the same issue. SP's chief Mulayam Singh and Amar Singh made it clear that this was only honorable Kalamji whose valuable references changed their mind for giving support to N' deal. If this is true then why they have waited for such a long time to support the deal? People of India know it very well how dedicated this party is for national interest. In UP they are playing politics of caste and racism. They are giving tickets to dreaded criminal who are accused of several cases of murder, extortion, kidnapping etc. So why suddenly they changed their minds to support N' deal ? Is it for national interest ?

The reason is obvious. In UP their arch rival BSP is running the Government. Many cases are rolling against political leaders of their party. They hope if they support the Government in center then in return home ministry can influence the verdict of those cases in their favor. They are agree to support but from the outside like the leftist used to do. Which clearly reflects the mere opportunistic aspect of this party.

Then take the example of former prime minister H.D Deve Gowda's party - Janata(S). This party own only three seats in the last Lok Sabha election, two were from Karnataka and one was from Kerala. Later the MP from Kerala withdrew his support from the party when Gowda's party was ready to go for happy marry with BJP in the state. Now being the largest party in state assembly BJP is ruling the state. Studying this situation very well Gowda has proposed to support the Government in parliament from his side. As now one one seat is important for UPA Government to prove the majority, Gowda may gain some political advantage in this situation.

It's better not to speak on our most popular rail way minister Mr. Lalu prasad Yadav in this context, otherwise story will be so long to read.

Wimbledon 2008 and my retrospection

As a sports loving guy, I have fixation towards tennis. When I was on class 8th I came to know about this game and became a crazy follower since then. I can only recall those old days when I used to watch this game with my father on our black & white television. In my initial days I was unable to understand the pros & cons of the game but I liked to watch because the efforts and skill involved with this game is awesome. French open and Wimbledon were two of my favorite tournaments because both of these tournaments were played in quick succession, both the tournaments were held when we enjoyed our holidays after exams and timing was also perfect to watch the game (evening time in India). I remember I started to follow the game when players like Jim courier, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi came to lime light and Boris Baker's glorious reign was about to be over. When Pete started to dominate the circuit, by that time I was fully familiar this game. That period of time witness a rising star of India namely Liander paes. I still remember his uncanny ability and skill to win all most all matches he played in Davis cup for India. partnering Ramesh krishan they both have won some good matches for India. One of their glorious victroy was against France in 1993 world group quarterfinal. In that quarter final match Liander managed to defeat players like Henrey Leconte who was having very good ATP rank that time. I'm feeling very much pity for Liander because despite of having such caliberity he could not excel himself to a force in singles category of the game. How ever I have witnessed so many great things which I can cherish for ever. Great rivalry between Pete and Andre on all courts, rivalry between Goran Ivanisevic and Pete in Wimbledon are still alive in my mind. Goran was one of the moody player and his style of playing with aggression was witnessing growing numbers of fans for him in past. But once his mood becomes off he left the match there. A defeat from Pete in Wimbledon 1994 final is the best example of his moodiness where he was defeated 7-6 7-6 6-0. He did not play the 3rd set after his defeat in first 2 sets. On the other hand Pete was known for his uncanny ability to finish the game in his favor. He remains calm and cool till the end of the match. His technique and composure was outstanding which has earned such a huge popularity and fame around the world. This was believed that Pete was the best among the players the game had ever been produced. He also proved that by winning 14 grand slam titles. But it did not take a long time to change the views of those people who were saying Pete was the ever best. World witnessed another great compatriot in the name of Roger Federer soon after Pete hung up his boot. Roger added many scripts of his glory one after one in a very short span of time. Critics of this game don't have any clue to question his skill and technique. He is believed to surpass Pete's number of Grand Slam titles very soon which is 2 of sort this time. But see the uncertainty nature of the game which makes the game so beautiful. Here comes the indefatigable, skillful Rafa (Rafael Nadal) who is going to give the tough fight to Roger in coming days. Rafael's success in Wimbledon 2008 has written a new script for him as well as for international tennis. Though his dominance in Ronald Garros is not that much surprising (in past players like Thomas Muster, Gustavo kuerten dominated clay for some years), but his success story at All England Tennis Club may change the destiny of tennis. In past I saw some players who won French Open did not take part in Wimbledon because of their self assessment on grass. But first time I see a king of the clay wins on the grass defeating probably the best ever grass specialist who has been dominating on grass for last five consecutive years. I have very high respect for Roger's class of game but at the same time I'm going crazy for Rafa's indomitable approach and indefatigable efforts on courts. Now I believe sometime class has to admit the shrewdness of power acts. There are many interesting things to happen in future which can only beautify this game of uncertainty and unpredictability.

My first post

Hi all,

I'm going to be crazy and the reason is obvious. I'm going to write something and that is on my blog. Though as a web developer I have some years of experience dealing with technical aspects of online application, but I'm very new (you can say 'infant') to this kind of practice. I'm not sure whether my writings can contribute any worth to the crazy online blog community, but I'm very sure that I can find some friends who want to put their opinions on issues for which i seek their constructive suggestions.

I know my blog can never make that much hype that the blogs Amir Khan and Amitabh Bachan make. When they write something that becomes news and I can only seek my friend's opinions on that news through my blog. The main reason which drove me to create my own blog is to connect myself with some like minded people.

So friends your comments, suggestions, advices, criticism are always welcome.
