In today's newspapers, there was a lot of credit being claimed for India being the worlds 3rd most powerful Country. At the same time it was obvious that India and Delhi in particular has dismally failed to get the infrastructure ready for the forthcoming commonwealth games.
All claims of Advancement or being a modern day Economic superpower falls flat when you cannot build walk way bridges that stand up properly or get the residential premises ready in time.. Forget about hosting the games successfully on the track and field.
On top of this we have a minister supposedly claiming that the standards of hygiene are different between Indian expectations and Others. That is really shameful. Hygiene world over has to be of a standard that is acceptable and India cannot claim otherwise.
When one of the truly international sports personality from India, Saina N stated that India was far behind some of the other countries in her preparedness for hosting an international sporting event, it was rubbished and she was pulled up by one and all. Do the events of this morning not prove her right?
India has a long way to go before claiming to be a world super power - Economically or in any other form..as long as it does not live upto standard quality parameters on Infrastructure builds.
It is sad that India is still way behind other newer countries when it comes to pride in herself and focus on delivery of commitments. I truly hope we are not going to witness a country become a laughing stock in International Sports due to the failures of this Common Wealth Games. Hope it does not become a Common Disaster games...

CREATIONISM & EVOLUTION
Stephen Hawking has claimed in his latest offering "The universe was formed because of laws of physics and not divine intervention"... which has led to an uproar amongst the church and other religious entities which subscribe to the view of "Creationism".
I quite agree with him on this subject. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going. Everything that is defined as illogical but real, has had a scientific and logical explanation come its way in due course. And it is only time before what is unexplained today is explained tomorrow..
I read somewhere that "Persistence and Determination" alone are omnipotent. If that is true, how can Creationism come into play? It has to be a persistant and irrevocable change to the physical and chemical dynamics seen on earth that has created new and newer life and geology. I cannot see any hand of GOD in this to be honest.
While I have no arguement against the belief on FAITH which can take place in multiple forms and different religious practices, I do not appreciate it when that starts to infringe on the realms of Logic, Analysis, Facts and Scientific deduction.. Please keep the 2 out of each other's hair and let each exist in its own realm..

Nostalgia - A true elixir of pleasure
Memories of a decade ago.. "the lazy mornings and carefree approach to life & relationships"
Opened by the tiniest of triggers to unleash a powerful emotional liberation that few are fortunate to experience..How the occasional detour down memory lane can give your spirits a significant lift. The keen anticipation, the pleasure of making an effort, the appreciations & joy in the eyes of the recipient and relaxed comfort of being in the presence of one who understands the other completely and supports the calls being made..
No alcohol or drugs and other artificial intoxicant can ever give you the lift..At the same time none of these substances can match the downward spiral, memories can lead you on to if you don't balance the 2.
Meeting someone from your past.. visiting some places where you have fond memories from.. tasting some food that you have not had an opportunity to eat for decades or reminders from your childhood.. hearing a voice from the past: each of these is worth its weight in gold and not to be lost..
