Cricket in Contemporary World

Like the ever changing nature of the world, cricket has also evolved considerably. It is one of the most celebrated sports across the globe. Cricket has its own history and vastness. Cricket is an English invention although it has discovered its own world. Over the years, Cricket has recorded an enormous expansion across the globe. Representation from every part of the world can be witnessed. The ever growing popularity of Cricket is evident as it brought a mushrooming fan-base in Americas in recent times. Since International Cricket Council (ICC) has recently enlisted nations like Brazil and Chile as their associate members, also the recognition of the United States as an associate member with ODIs & T20Is status is not negligible at all. While cricket has continuously been growing, one thing which remains intact is the extreme upsurge it offers to the minds of cricket enthusiasts. This fancy obsession of cricket intensifies when it comes to the Cricket in the Indian subcontinent.

गांव और समाज

गावों की चारित्रिक विशेषताओं में से एक इसकी स्वागत करने की प्रवृत्ति है। शहर की भांति यहां पूंजीगत चकाचौंध और हर दिन एक नए उम्मीद को साधने का संघर्ष नहीं। शहर की तुलना में गांव अत्यधिक शांत और मनोरम लगता है। गांव का परिवेश आपको संवारता है और शहर में लोग परिवेश को हर रोज़ नई शक्ल दे रहे हैं। कभी फ्लाईओवर निर्माण, कभी मेट्रो निर्माण, कभी शॉपिंग माल आदि। शहर रुकता नहीं, यह गतिशील है। संघर्षरत है। जबकि गावों में यह गुण गौण हैं। ग्रामीण जीवन तमाम खुलेपन के बावजूद कई बंदिशों से बंधा रहता है। शहर में तंग गलियां, छोटे घर एवं सड़कों का ट्रैफिक भी आपको इतना नहीं बांधता जितना गावों का पिछड़ापन बांधता है। धार्मिक संलङता अवश्य ही ग्रामीण जीवन की एक सच्चाई है परन्तु यह कतई पिछड़ेपन को तो इंगित नहीं करती। मगर धार्मिक आधार पर रचे हुए आडंबर एवं कुरीतियां ज़रूर ग्रामीण समाज के पिछड़ेपन को परिलक्षित करते हैं। गावों के वातावरण एवं प्राकृत सौंदर्य की भांति यह कुरीतियां कतई मनभावन नहीं लगती। हालांकि अब कई घृणास्पद कुरीतियों का अंत हो चुका है, जातिगत विषमताएं भी पिछली सदी जितनी प्रखर नहीं दिखाई पड़ती। जो दुर

Irrfan Khan

"Uncertainty is the only certainty in life", these were the words from Irrfan when he learnt about his traumatic health condition. He had a cancer of one of the rarest kinds. Not just the disease he went through was rare, He too was an actor with a rare magical persona which had a lot to offer to the universe of cinema. Death is the ultimate reality of life and has no soothing fascination materialistically. Although, spiritualists superfluously acclaim about alluring evidences of afterlives. No romantic inks can ever be used to theorize this ultimate and eventual fact in a glittery handwriting & on a lighter note. Death, nevertheless remains unquenchable for all.  Life is an endless journey of learning. This fact does not entail the action of holding a book throughout life, neither does it profess about a lifelong schooling. This fact remains equally relevant for even those who never learnt alphabets. A person who has lived life at length must have crossed the path

Indian Democracy

Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. You in America will see that some day. - Italian dictator Benito Mussolini The Prime Minister of India would barely differ on this thought of the most renowned dictator of all time. India is a big country, gifted with so much of beauty of every kind. Being a democracy makes this country even more striking. Indian democracy like any other political establishments in the world has experienced innumerable hurdles. On many occasions the values of democracy were compromised and suppressed by the establishment but the country never failed to revive its core values which led the country nowhere but to the democratic paths. The term democracy itself opens up much more about the country's tendency, especially if a country is of India's size and vastness. The journey of India as a significant democratic state has surely not been like a roller coaster ride. Considering, all of the turbulence and upheavals of each phase

An Aspiring Superpower

One of the oldest civilization, world's largest democracy and also an aspiring superpower: India is going through a problematic phase of economic deceleration. India has always been a remarkable contender in global market. Of course it's not the first time India is observing something like this with her economy. India's economy has witnessed many ups and downs over the years. Despite of knowing the fact about India's economic slowdown our government is in no hurry to take some effective measures for the betterment of the economy. Measures can only be taken after being aware of the problem & considering the same as an obstacle for your overall performances. Nevertheless, government is not even acknowledging the slowdown of the economy. Majority of the people are cheering in the name of Chandrayaan - 2 only because they're not being served with the basic information. Applauds are being deposited in the name of the Prime Minister for this excellent achievemen

Modi & Interviews: A Beautiful Love Story

Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of India has not faced a single press-conference yet. It hardly makes an impact on his screen-time of media coverage. There's not a single day passed by in last five years when the shows were running out of Modi. India has always been an important country and still it is respected as one. But Prime Ministers weren't always this important. It's not India who got all the glory and significance in these five years but it's the Prime Minister's chair which has suddenly got the enormous importance in these five years. Glory of PM is now greater than that of India. Modi gets credit for every single achievement of India but he does not face any kind of criticism for the failures. Projection of Modi as Mr. Perfect is being done by none other than the fourth pillar of democracy: The Media. Fourth Pillar of the democracy is now extravagantly busy in building the image of PM. After being served by journalists our honorable PM has given

Intolerant India

PM Narendra Modi believes that India has recorded an enormous change during his tenure. Nothing was so good and convenient before 2014. India was not as important country as it became after 2014. He firmly believes that India has got recognizance after the commencement of the Modi-led BJP government. Previous governments of India has not done anything worth boasting about. Whereas Mr. Modi's every single policy is historical. From Pt. Nehru to Dr. Singh (that includes Mr. Vajpayee too) there's not a single Prime Minister who had contributed even a half of what Mr. Modi has done.  Everything was going so well and good under the huge shadow of Mr. Modi meanwhile a debate over the topic of INTOLERANCE has risen. Artists of different modes protested against the prevalent communal disturbances in the nation by returning their awards. Aamir Khan entered the debate by expressing himself about the prevailing scenario and made the topic fiery which was certainly unintentional by his
