College Life

I miss my college days a lot. I had a great time with my friends for the past four years. When I joined the college I had no one to my recognition but when I left that place I felt like missing everything. We are group of 12. We enjoyed like anything in this past four years. We went to a tour for Kerala in the third year and our bondage increased there. We had great time there. Our farewell was one thing which I can’t forget in my life. We really partied a lot and had great fun. Now everyone has got their own work and we are absorbed in it. Though we meet in here and there, we really miss each other. I can’t forget the class rooms where we had great fun.

I really miss my college life and my college friends.

Inflation Rate goes down

So finally inflation rate has come down for the second time in twenty eight weeks. Though it has not made that difference in the lives of an ordinary Indian, it has certainly shows a ray of hope for the economists. Many believe that the inflation rate may come down to a desirable level in a short time. Now the crude oil rate in the international market has also come down. Crude oil price hike was mainly blamed for the inflation rate hike. Since a crude oil rate has gone down, there has been a sigh of relief from the economists. But still the situation is gloomy. The policy makers can be relaxed only when the inflation reaches below 6%. To achieve that we have to traverse through a long way. Lets hope that we attain the below 6% mark very soon.

Wipro and Infosys pulling out of Chennai!!!!!!!

Many people in Chennai city will have a common complaint and that one is the poor traffic and road conditions in the city. Especially during the morning and the evening hours the traffic is very bad in almost all parts of Chennai. Because of this many office goers, students and common people find it difficult to travel by road. There has been constant complains about this but the authorities are not taking appropriate steps to check this. Now this problem is taking an ugly turn. After Bengaluru, Chennai is considered as the hub of IT activities. But because of this poor infrastructure and road conditions some IT giants have decided to pull out from Chennai. Companies like Wipro and Infosys have made open statement regarding this. If this is going to happen then the development of city will be stagnant. At least now the Chennai Corporation must take steps to counter this problem and make Chennai as one of the best cities in the country otherwise we will loose our economic prospect because of negligence.

India wins

India has finally avenged for their defeat in the Asia Cup by beating Srilanka in the ODI series which held in Srilanka. Though India lost their first match against them they came back strongly in the next match and won the three matches consecutively winning the 5 match series easily. Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina played an anchor role in the batting order and Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel and Harbajhan Singh bowled well. Many thought Mendis will be great threat to India after the recently concluded test series where he had a great success in his debut itself. But Indians approached him with great caution and I n fat played well against him. This a great piece of game shown by our Indians.

India @ Beijing

Indeed this has been the greatest performance by India in the Olympics. Indian athletes have won three medals which include the first ever gold medal in individual events and two bronze medals. Abhinav Bindra won the gold in the 10 m rifle event. Vijendra Kumar won the bronze in boxing and Sushil Kumar won the bronze medal in wrestling. Though medals were expected from other shooting players and in tennis but unfortunately none of them made a challenging performance there. But nevertheless the three Indians have brought us glory by showing commendable performance. Indians are expecting more medals in the next Olympics which is going to be held in London. But for now the nation salutes the three heroes who have brought us pride from Beijing.

Nano Problem

TATA’s dream car Nano is facing a great problem in the Singur district of West Bengal where the production plant for the Nano has been established. There locals out there are protesting against this project because their land has been taken by the government and given to the TATA. Moreover the opposition leaders over there are tying to take the political mileage out of this issue and staging a protest against the economic development of this region. Now TATA is trying to relocate its plant location. Many states like Maharashtra are persuading the TATA to come to their state and are ready to give them the land they desire. Now the future of India’s Dream Car lies in the hands of the people of the Singur.
