IITs and Rat Race

These are the established IITs : IIT Powai, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Chennai, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, IT BHU, ISM Dhanbad. The entrance exam for these IITs makes them prestigious colleges in India. Equation has changed from 2008. New IITs have been started at following places: IIT Punjab, IIT Patna, IIT Rajasthan, IIT Bhubaneshwar, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Hyderabad. In 2009, IIT Himachal and IIT Indore will be started. Beside these there are extended colleges , IIST, IISERs, RGIPT, IIMS. The rat race will continue with increasing number, but who is going to monitor the quality of education, specially in IITs here after. Instead of investing money in new IITs and their infrastructure, isn't it wise to convert existing some top quality colleges in IITs? When will Government learn this simple thing? May be my perspective is one sided and with no complete justification, but on first look , it does make sense.

Bottomline is We need quality of education and not quantity of education.

Well, this has been a good season in south africa. I would have loved it if it would have been in India more. The most interesting thing happened to IPL this year is fake ipl player and his blog.

Winner never quits

Yes, those are the words for Rahul Dravid. This person leaves no stone unturned to appreciate his personality in every aspect. From being the most humble, calm and a true performer, he shows the world what the class means. I owe a lot to Dravid in his today's innings against Rajasthan Royals. The man was criticized so many times and he has always proved he is a team man and always ready to prove his mettle on any given test. Gosh!!! I literally got horripilation when I saw his innings and the way he played today just provided a tight SLAP on Vijay Mallaya's face.

How do you feel when the world criticizes you and people around question your abilities and at the slightest chance you prove everyone what you are. Yes that is all about Rahul Dravid. He is the most genuine player who has proved again and again why cricket is called gentleman's game.

And he is the man who made me to write back on my blog. Hats off to Rahul Dravid.

I have become more regular at microblogging these days , no time for mega blogging.

Troubled Mumbai

Mumbai is in trouble again...any help you can provide in mumbai, Please visit Mumbai Help .

Time to cooperate.

When you feel like crying, just urinate

No..no this is not weird stuff...but a dialogue from movie "Mumbai Meri Jaan". Once in a time , there comes a movie which changes your perception about life, once in a time , there comes a movie which changes the way you live the life. Mumbai meri jaan is such a wonderfully directed movie , that I was almost crying. The finess of direction comes when you have five great people acting for you on the screen. Parel Rawal, Kay Kay, Irrfan Khan, Madhavan and Soha Ali Khan...well the star cast itself says something about this movie. This is a must watch movie and I am sure you will be moved at the end of this movie. Apart from direction and the reality shown from five different categories of society with poor(Irrfan Khan), lower middle class(Paresh Rawal), Hindu cynical extremist(Kay Kay), higher middle class patriotic software professional(Madhavan), a realistic journalist(Soha Ali Khan), the movie touches every body. In fact Irrfan Khan had silent role, but he outclasses everybody in the movie and set the bar of expectation high. Then , there are no words for Paresh Rawal who has grown into a veteran. And well , well .. director Nishikant Kamat , his first hindi movie , and he has proved his abilities , but I know his first marathi movie which was relased in 2005 "Dombivli Fast" which got lot of recognition. This man has seen mumbai more closely than anybody I guess. You can read about Dombivli fast here.

Finally GOLD

This is the moment to cherish for life. Despite somebody else has achieved something, the feeling has not sunk in completely...Abhinav Bindra did the unimaginable at the summer olympics for which all cricket crazy people were waiting...finally for sometime cricket took back stage. This is the moment why I feel to be proud to be an Indian...this is the moment which binds every indian together..this is the moment I feel even God will feel envy of...this is the moment that will be cherished for years or days to come till we win another gold. I hope by 2020, we will be topping the Olympics gold medal tally...(just for the information, China won its first gold in 1984 ..source timesofindia.com ...today they are topping the tally)..So with that hope, I feel India won't be much behind sooner. We need more bindras and more gold medals...Yeh dil maange more....AB proved at last Singh is King.:-). In the picture , you can see Chinese shooter's Zhu Qinan's emotions, after losing the gold , he cried a lot and he had also topped the qualifiers .Well somebody has to win , but I sympathsize with him. Winning the gold is easy , but winning the silver or bronze is more tougher as everybody goes for gold,nobody goes for silver or bronze.....but let me cherish this moment .
