Rahul Dravid should be India’ s new coach

              “A coach is someone who can give correction without causing resentment.”  -John Wooden



Indian batsmen seems  to have lost concentration and their technique seems to have been deteriorating  which was very much evident  in the test series vs England. There way to come out of the poor form  seems to be through slogging, saying that to be their natural style ,rather than concentrating on their technique as is evident in the case as Shikhar Dhawan,Virat Kolhi and Ravinder Jadeja.

This calls for special attention and a batsmen with strong technique is required to be the Indian  coach, and who better than Rahul Dravid.

MS Dhoni’s, is still the best Indian captain. But his selection of playing 11 seems to be sometimes baffling.Jadeja’s selection over Rohit Sharma and omission of India’s best bowler R Ashwin seems to be baffling.

Dunchan Fletcher seems to be more of a spectator, following Dhoni’s instruction’s rather than the other way round.     

To rescue India’s cricketing phobia, I think Rahul Dravid appointment as coach would be in the right direction as for transforming Indian batsmen’s mindset and thus making their technique stronger.

Indian Super league starts with a bang.

"You will be nearer to Heaven through football than through the study of the Gita."-Swami Vivekananda
                                   


Football arrives in India.

ISL opened to a  glittering opening ceremony with music  & musicians from eight different states of India and a ravishing performance from Priyanka Chopra

The eight teams being owned by following celebrities
Atheletico de Kolkatta-owned by  Saurav Ganguly
Kerala Blasters- owned by  Sachin Tendulkar
Mumbai City-owned by Ranbhir kapoor
Chennaiyin-owned by MS Dhoni,Abhishek bachchan
Delhi Dynamos- owned by  DEN Network
Goa- owned by  Virat Kolhi
Northeast United- owned by  John Abraham
Pune City- owned by  Hritik Roshan 

Nita Ambani being the chairperson for Football development in India,

The first match between Athelico kolkotta and Mumbai City FC was again a belter of a match with Kolkatta winning 3-0 with the first goal of ISL by Fikru Teferra to a jam packed Salt lake stadium in Kolkatta.

It would not be long before the English premier league and Spanish premier league take a cue from from Indian super league.


So lets eat ,drink and breadth football.

Times of India a pornographic newspaper.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.-Martin King Luther



If the only enthusiasm with which Times of India works is increasing its sales and publications then it should start publishing  nude and pornographic material,I am sure its sales would quadruple.

Increasing sales may be important but having media ethics is most important.A newspaper without ethics is bound to fold up in the long run.

If the newspaper  concentrates only on cleavage and bare essentials of a celebrity ,then god bless them.

The newspaper Hindu is right in criticizing  the Times of India publishing the picture of Deepika padukone.If this is the way that they are going to increase the sales then god help them and good luck to their  sort of  journalism.

There is an increase in molestation ,rape cases and crime rates, one of the reasons attributed is vulgar movies and obsene photography and Times of India, I must say ,plays into those hands authoritatively.

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan an excellent initiative


My kingdom has fallen because I had built it with power,but the kingdom of Jesus Christ will last forever because it was built on love. - Napoleon Bonaparte” 


PM  picking up the broom is unheard of in any country.Mr Modi taking up the broom and cleaning up the Valmiki Basti is quit magnanimous of a Prime minister to be doing.

The change  has to percolate into the people,but an inspiring start has been made.When the consciousness of the people change,then India will be cleaner than any other country.This change will happen slowly.But the start has been made to clean India.When the driver of the change is the king or the PM ,the change is more rapid.His initiative of using the social media as a change maker by inviting the nine celebrities is a change driver.

The government has set an amount of two lakh crores have been scheduled to be spent on construction of toilets,maintaining and monitering clean toilets and for having a clean India.This amount if utilized properly would make a visible change and would be a driver for an healthy India.

Sarita Devi fully justified in her action.

Every time we witness an injustice and do not act ,we train our character to be passive,and thereby eventually lose our ability to defend ourselves and those we love.


Anybody who watched the boxing clout would say Sarita Devi was the clear winner,against her South Korean opponent,Jina Park where she was denied a victory and had to settle for a bronze.

In the podium,Sarita refused to accept her medal and put it on the South Korean player.Sarita fully justified in showing the injustice done to her,after her appeal was turned down.Sarita action was fully sportive.

The Indian officials instead of lodging a strong protest against the judges and supporting Sarita,were demanding disciplinary action against Sarita.

I request the Indian Prime Minister to intervene and immediately suspend the officials who did not support the Indian boxer's hard work and effort .

India should also lodge a strong protest against the judges with the AIBA and the OCA.
