Cheap Campaign of politicians

Bopanna — Fri, 09 May 2008 13:03:29 +0000

Election heat is ON in karnataka. So is the campaining of different parties.In our state the major parties are BJP, Congress and Janata Dal. So speaking about the rivalry of the 3, BJP and Congress are the frontrunner’s in terms of rivalry.

Election means there should be a healthy competition all over but hey wait i must be joking because in politics there is no healthy competition. Everybody wants to win by hook or crook.

So they have also started to give advertisements in newspapers.One of the Ads is in the above picture. But these Ads doesn’t contain any of their strengths but they are telling only the ways with which other parties have carried out their tasks. For an incident they have taken the famous kandahar airplane hijack in which many indians were there.

If you ppl dont remember it then here is a brief about it. India might have taken too hasty a decision in the Kandahar hijack case in December 1999 and freed the three dreaded terrorists to secure the release of 161 passengers and crew on Flight IC-814. Intelligence sources have said that Indian officials had ideally wanted to continue the negotiations with the Kandahar hijackers and gain the upper hand, but in a bid to meet a certain deadline and save itself from international scrutiny the then NDA government decided to end negotiations with the hijackers and give in to their demand. In fact they had demanded 36 prisoners to be released in exchange but the number came down to 3.

But in reality they were doing our Nation’s job only. So where is the need to stress this subject during the campaigns’. Congress president Sonia Gandhi is saying that we would have done better than the BJP Govt. We the people of India should ask them that What better could they do in such situations.

This is not a hijack situation we are talking here but we are talking about Elections in which every party should uphold their strengths rather than showing the weaknesses of other party. A more civilised country is needed in order to bring some mannerisms to these politicians.

Google as Blackle?

Google is the second Brain to many of us. We use it frequently. It uses white screen which consumes higher power.

Read the following?..

“If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved?”

In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy consumption:

The veracity of this news link can only be confirmed by clicking on the URL. And guess what it exists with the google custom search but named as BLACKLE.

Save the Cheerleaders Save the world!!!!!

Dont get confused from the title, its just a line from the popular series HEROES. Anyways i am not talking about heroes here but am talking about the real cheerleaders in the IPL matches.

The IPL matches are raking in that much moolah that every bodies eyes are fixed on it. Its also taking a political turn not because of the match venues or players or anything which is related to cricket. Every bodies eyes are fixed on it - The ‘it’ here means the cheerleaders, who dance for every four and six they hit and at every over break. This has caught the eyes of the Moral police. They tell that they dont want them in the field, it distracts the attention and also its not the culture of India.
Speaking of culture of India, how many are following the culture of India???lets see what are all the cultures of India-
1. The corruption in every possible field, which is going on and on from decades.
2. The so called politicians who are running our country, have a problem with the cheerleaders, when they themselves watch any new bollywood movie, which contains loads of sexually provocating stuffs with children and family????
3. Even they want imported cars and foreign tours at the government expense. which is a very good culture of India.
4. If we went by Indian culture the cheerleaders should actually wear sarees and dance to the tunes...

What if the cheerleaders dance to the tune of 4’s and 6’s, they dont do any vulgar steps that provoke people. They just carry out a synchronized dance sequence.

yes its true that watching those cheerleaders dancing live infront of us makes a little difference than watching them on any T V. But because they are skimpily clad they should not be banned. They should tell the organizers of the respective teams to make them look more presentable in front of the huge crowd.

IPL Tamasha!!!!

The IPL in its 20 - 20 format has been no doubt the greatest ever entertainment in the history of cricket. But everything comes with advantages and disadvantages alike.

Most people eagerly awaited to see the dual between the greats of their own country playing against themselves. This provided viewers a wonderful prospective to watch the matches. But “NOT EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD”. This is said with respect to the controversy following the dual between our own national team players but playing against each other Harbhajan singh and Sreesanth. Both were hot headed from the start but it took a curious turn when King xi Punjab beat Mumbai Indians. Harbhajan singh slapped, to be precise punched in WWF style to Sreesanth and he burst out crying. Footages showing him crying were splattered across the news channels. Even after the incident sreesanth told the media that it was a shake hand in the wrong place. But after yuvraj singh lodged a official complaint the tables turned drastically. Sreesanth changed his statement as “After all a punch is a punch and that has come from a fellow team mate which has hurt me a lot”. This made the match between them even more curious and the match referee handed Bhajji 11 matches ban and 100% of the match fee and even handed sreesanth 2 match ban and advised him to control his emotions.

They have to have in mind that after this IPL is over they have to serve their country and play along side each other. Players having grudges against each other in the same team will affect the team’s harmony and composition. So IPL may bring in lots and lots of Moolah but with it, it also takes the players respect for each other, which in turn will result in poor show in the matches.

In both the cases if from one angle cricket wins, then from another angle the same cricket will suffer.

Technology advances and its effects

On a great summer morning, in the middle of the beach everybody would have gathered to capture the rising sun with their digital cameras. But if any person is walking without any cameras dont think that he is not interested in capturing the moment of rising sun, but when the sun arises and shines like a ball of fire which has been just put off, he takes out his trendy Nokia N95 with 5 MP camera and captures the moment. That is what is called as technology.

Earlier mobiles were used to communicate with each other, but times have changed drastically. The technology behind the making of the mobiles is seeing a merger of sorts. The caption of Nokia N Series mobiles itself reads as \”It\’s what computers have become\”. Every work which was done through computers can now be done in mobiles. There is internet, TV, camera all built into one. It has made work very simple.

Mobiles are a great thing to flaunt, everybody will be saying my mobile can play music, my mobile can play videos but have you ever heard anybody saying \”I can talk in my mobile?\”.

Mobiles are increasingly becoming more of a fashion statement rather than a necessity.

Communication has become of least priority to mobile users. They just want to flaunt the features in their mobiles. This is what the new age mobiles have become. Mobiles give them an option to do their work on the move. Nobody wants to sit in a single place and feel cramped, instead they can carry work around in their mobiles and compared to computers they are relatively fast.

But every good thing should end one day as we say\”Too much of anything will ruin everything\”. It has become a nuisance to such an extent that the schools and colleges are banning it from use within the campus.Even while reading this many will be talking or sending text messages.

Mobiles have come so far that if a baby is crying they give that baby a mobile to play, so that they indulge themselves into it so deeply that the baby will talk mobile, eat mobile and sleep mobile.
