Updating my view

Three of our S5 exams have been postponed to December. Now that I have some time for blogging...here goes!!

I thought I 'll be eclectic with the contents of the upcoming posts coz there are loads of news comin' in everyday -Obama-The new US President, the Financial Crisis gripping the entire world, India beating Australia (2-0)in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, our beloved DADA and Kumble bidding goodbye to cricket ...and lots more!!!


Democrat Barack Obama is chosen as the 44th and the First Afro-American President of United States of America after he beat his counterpart Republican Mc.Cain.
Thus people of America proved that they were totally against the racial discrimination that had been prevailing in the country for more than a century - the verdict of the election bears testimony to that fact.
Obama with his good orator skills convinced the nation that he would be there to relieve America from clutches of financial meltdown, unemployment,health problems and the bad reputation it has gained under the Bush Administration.
But Obama is taking up the President's role at a time when America is struggling to stand upright and thus he has to show great resilience and leadership by converting his eloquent campaign rhetoric into efficient governance.
Will his win affect India's IT sector?? Will Obama be seriously taking up his "anti-Outsourcing" strategies??The Indian IT Companies are going through jittery moments and they are crossing their fingers and hoping that it would be difficult to stop something that is as deeply rooted as outsourcing coz it contributes 50% to US revenue.
Hope its just another election rhetoric, otherwise I can't imagine the plight of thousands of IT engineers going jobless after their BTech from the next year...that includes me too..



Sourav Ganguly, the most daring and successful captain Indian cricket team has ever had, has called it a day. His passion for cricket, his aggressiveness, leadership etc..have been beyond questions...A true hero of Bengal-Indian cricket...His comeback into the Indian team after a long gestation is the epitome of a spirited and motivated cricketer...junior cricketers must learn a lot about dedication from him....
I'll miss his elegant front foot sixers and waving of his T-Shirt from the gallery......Goodbye DADA!!
