Today I had a chat with one of my friends about various topics. Suddenly I found a new LIVE STRONG band in his wrist and i casually asked him the story behind it. To my surprise, He said it as the fashion created by star Vijay. I was shocked to hear this and some other friends there were also had the same idea. It was really a comedy to see those people justifying their words. Then after heard the reason from me, we all smiled at each other and left the place. Our college's last internal test day was thus become a memorable one.
The actual story behind it is-- was launched as a fund raising item for Lance Armstrong's, the tour de france champion for 5 successive years, Cancer foundation. Its purpose is to create awareness about cancer among people. It was introduced when Armstrong was struggling with testicular cancer by his fans to show their support to their hero. After recovering from the cancer disease he became the champion of tour de france breaking many previous records. He then started the foundation for cancer patients and used the LIVE STRONG bands to create the awareness about cancer disease.

End of Golden Boys' Era..!
Indian Cricket team once again proved themselves as a better touring side in the world cricket completing a eventful series against Australia. Though the series results read 2-1 loss to India, the way India played was exceptional. Indians outplayed Aussies in many aspects of the game.No other team had done this or even strained Australia for a victory. In the last few years Indians did well in all parts of the world Australia, Westindies ,Southafrica, England and Pakistan. Managed either a win or draw in most of these matches. Indians can say they are marching towards No 1 slot. Cheers India!!
At the same time India should worry about losing 4 or 5 top players soon. This tour may be the last australia tour for the Golden Boys of Indian Cricket-Sachin,Kumble,Dravid and Gnaguly who all had done lot to Indian cricket and the world cricket. Though we are having a pool of youngsters in the bench,how they would overcome the lose of these greats is a very big quetion. Its pretty sure that Indian Cricket is going to face a tough period atleast for few years.
I cant even imagine that India will get a player of Sachin's standards. No one will forget the days he defeated the world teams single-handedly. Kumble's determination, aggression, and variations in the bowling will be missed. Rahul Dravid's sound techniques and Ganguly's aggression and great timing will be missed. But for any team in the world cricket its quite common to lose few senior players and only the way they handle their lose will make the difference in their ranking. Aussies are doing good in building new teams and as all other Cricket Fans in India, I too hope India will come out of this tougher phase successfully and the next team will defeat the aussies in Australia in the next tour 2011. All the best team India.

Lee-Hesh,The Great Pair!!!
From Grand Slam glory to Olympic dominance, Leander-Mahesh pair have done it all for India .This pair showed the aggressive side of Indian tennis...they were the best and most charismatic sports persons from India . Anyone can accept this if they have seen the finals at the center court,Doha.After losing the first set to the Thailand twins Ratiwatana,the Indian tigers came back strongly to defend their gold medal. They saved 7 gold medal points against the Thai brothers. Ratiwatana brothers even dont want to forget the way the Indian masters make the gold medals to their packets. Excellent lesson by the two greats. Great commitment by the 'IndianExpress'. But again they expressed their differences in the public.Their relationship has seen many ups and lows. But still, they manage the results. This latest flare-up too, can be resolved..All it will take is two men to sit down and talk. If they don't then it won't be the best ending for a pair who once had the world at their feet.meet u with my next "Drop"!!..bye

Parliament to Duban..!!!
Yeah the defeat at Durban was a debacle. It made all Indians feel sad. But the way the opposition party MPs behaved in the Parliament on this issue was really a painful. They questioned BCCI President Mr.Sarath Powar in the question hour about India's failure in Durban. Is it necessary to discuss this in the question hour??. I am having a sudden doubt whether these members know the Nation's demands and the needs or just simply filling the seats of the Parliament. Dont they remember that Mr.Powar is also our union Agricultural Minister. In most part of the country, farmers are suffering a lot and suicides are becoming common in their families. Why dont they ask questions about their welfare. They should try to understand their responsibilities. Do they really worrying about India's pride or just thinking about the BCCI's wealth and richness. They should atleast remember that they are wasting the moneys of the tax payers (I dont know whether these MPs are paying their tax properly :) ..). If they dont know anything about the Nation other than Cricket, its high time for them to leave their chairs to others thinking about the Nation.meet u with my next "Drop"!!..bye
