Sachin at last has scored his hundredth hundred that too after a wait of more than a year to get to this landmark.. His 49th hundred in ODIs. He has scored 51 hundreds in tests. It is really mind blogging. How this little master is able to achieve some many milestones in his career. India is proud of this little master. What an energy. What a determination. His focus on cricket is unmatchable. Twenty years in International cricket. No one can come near his land marks. Now that he has crossed his mile stone he can now really enjoy his cricket and play care free innings. Now tongues will start wagging "when will Sachin retire?" It is sad that we the people and the media are putting on pressure. Let us all leave him to his own counsel. Congratulations Sachin. Carry on.

The Union Budget 2012-13 has been disappointing to say the least. The income tax threshold ceiling has been increased by just Rs.20000/-. Service Tax has been increased by 2%. Revenue through disinvestment has been anticipated. Some of the electronic items have been increased. A dull and drab budget.

The song "Why this Kola veri" in the yet to be made film "3" has sent waves across the world.Without knowing the real meaning of the term people across the globe were mouthing the song. Overnight Actor Dhanush and the music director Anirudh have catapulted to fame. Actor Dhanush had even lectured to the students of IIM-A. Why this kola veri on "Kola Veri"?

When the Karnataka Assembly was debating the hoisting of Pakistan flag in Karnataka three ministers of the ruling BJP blissfully were watching pornography in their mobiles not knowning the Assembly proceedings were covered live. Once caught off guard they had no defence but had to resign. It is a shame on democracy

On 2nd February 2012 Justice Singhvi and Justice Ganguly handed down a landmark judgement cancelling 122 licences granted by A.Raja the then telecom minister who is now behind bars. Everyone trained their guns on Raja.It was made out that only Raja was the culprit and Every one including the Prime Minister and the then Finance Minister were kept under dark although it appears that A.Raja had been constantly meeting them and informing them of the developments. The entire opposition questioned the spin doctors of the Congress headed by Kapil Sibal, the burly lawyer turned Telecom. Minister and "Zero Loss"fame. The Congress party was hard pressed to defend itself. Come 4th February 2012 the trial court Judge O.P.Saini gave a clean chit to Mr. Chidambaram stating that there was no criminal conspiracy. The UPA Govt. was saved of the embarassment and they began dancing widely at the judgement. The Judge had a strange logic. He says that Raja consults Chidambaram on pricing of the s...

Mayawati sacks Khushuwaha from BSP on corruption charges. Immediately the BJP embrances him. With one stroke its whole anti corruption campaign got a set back. What is the use of Advani's Rath Yatra against corruption when a corrupt person who has FIR filed against him is admitted to the party. Of late the difference between Congress and BJP is that of tweedeldee and tweedeldum

Having lost Melbourne and Sydney tests there was some hope that the Indian Cricket team would at least put up a semblance of fight against the Aussies. But in the first innings of the third test which started today ie13/1/2012 it meekly surrendered to the Aussie paceman to 161. The batting greats have not shown any resistance. I think the team needs to be overhauled to include youngsters and players like Sachin, Dravid and Laxman should be asked to retire as they have aged as far as the game is concerned.
