I think most of you all will be aware of Marry Kom our boxer from India. She hold the honour of bagging 4 World Championship Titles for India. Still she was not nominated for prestigiuos Kehl Ratna award till now. It was a long wait but she never left hope and finally I guess the news would have overjoyed her.
But my only question is That when a century or a 5 wicket haul in a match can make a cricketer nominated for this prestigious award, why it took for Marry so many years and 4 World championships to get nominated which she would have got long back...
Is it because being a lady or is it because belonging to a game which is not very popular here...... Does it makes sense to award some cricketers for their performance in a series and making the lady wait for the same to get 4 championships.......... PLease give it a thought and raise voice upon it. I know the other sports are not very popular, but atleast those are lacking behind coz of lack of funds, nd they are not loosing coz only they are getting heavily paid to loose like our cricketers. Please respect our roots and you will see that the tree will be fruitful....
In the year 1986, a comics company was started by Rajkumar Gupta. He named it Raj Comics. His sons Sanjay Gupta, Manish Gupta and Manoj Gupta became the next mentors of Raj Comics. Currently, Manish Gupta is the president, Sanjay Gupta is the editor/creative head and Manoj Gupta is in the Finance Department.
The company mainly focuses on superhero-centric comic books.The majority of their output is in the Hindi language, but a few titles and 'special editions' have been translated into English.It has produced close to 3500 comics till date.
Raja Pocket Books started publishing Raj comics and King Comics simultaneously. King comics lasted for about 2 years. After that, some heroes of King comics like Gamraj were merged in Raj comics. Not to be confused, Raj comics and King comics were two divisions of Raja Pocket Books. They used to publish comics using the same artists and writers in both the comic series. In the last few years its popularity has come down immensely due to lack of promotion, availability and storyline.
These comics are one of the best entertainments available in our childhood days and thats the reason i feel that many of us are way from dirt of politics and crap TV shows coming these days which in a way are destroying future of India.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958– June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut on the professional music scene in 1968 as a member of The Jackson 5. He then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group and was referred to as the "King of Pop"[1] in subsequent years. Jackson's 1982 album Thriller remains the world's best-selling album of all time, and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995). In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African American entertainer to mass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller"—widely credited with transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists across several generations. Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundations, charity singles, and support of 39 charities. One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for :
"Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13
Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in
his solo career, and the sale of 750
million records worldwide. At the time of his death, he was preparing for This Is It, a series of 50 concerts that would have been held in London beginning July 13, 2009.
Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50.
Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.
The circumstances of Jackson’s death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt.
May the king of PoP's soul rest in peace and despite anything his songs will keep on making us rock time to time, but this time with some warm emotions mixed with them.........
Some days back I was getting bored and wanted to read something good and remembered that sometime back my father presented me with 2 books “Nirmala” and “Prema”. I started reading them and suddenly was lost in 18th century India and finally when I came back to 21st century again, I realized its 8’0 in night and I started at 12 in afternoon. The reason for this was: The writer of many famous novels and one of the leaders in Hindi Literature Premchand. He was born on July 31, 1880 in the village Lamhi near Varanasi to Munshi Ajaib Lal, a clerk in the post office, and his wife Anandi. His parents named him Dhanpat Rai (master of wealth) while his uncle, Mahabir, a rich landowner, called him Nawab (Prince), the name Premchand first chose to write under. Premchand's parents died young - his mother when he was seven and his father while he was sixteen or seventeen and still a student. Premchand was left responsible for his stepmother and step-siblings. In 1899, Premchand left Lamahi to take up the position of a schoolmaster at a mission school in the town of Chunar at a salary of eighteen rupees a month, with which he had to support his wife, his stepmother, his half-brother, his stepmother's younger brother and himself. Times were hard for the young man and they became harder still when he was fired from the job for being 'too independent'. He returned to Lamahi and soon got a job as an assistant master at a government school in Benaras, only to be transferred two months later to Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh a town near Allahabad where he first started writing seriously. He wrote over 300 stories, a dozen novels and two plays. The stories have been compiled and published as Maansarovar. Premchand lived a life of financial struggle. Once he took a loan of two-and-a-half rupees to buy some clothes. He had to struggle for three years to pay it back. The main characteristic of Premchand's writings is his interesting story-telling and use of simple language. His novels describe the problems of the rural peasant classes. He avoided the use of highly Sanskritized Hindi (as was the common practice among Hindi writers), but rather he used the dialect of the common people. many of Premchand's stories were influenced by his own experiences with poverty and misery. His stories represented the ordinary Indian people as they were, without any embellishments. Unlike many other contemporary writers, his works didn't have any "hero" or "Mr. Nice" - they described people as they were. Premchand was a contemporary of some other literary giants of that era like Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla and Jaishankar Prasad. Premchand has written about 300 short stories, several novels as well as many essays and letters. He has also written some plays. He also did some translations. Many of Premchand's stories have been translated into English and Russian. Godaan (The Gift of a Cow), his last novel, is considered the finest Hindi novel of all times.[4] The protagonist, Hori, a poor peasant, desperately longs for a cow, a symbol of wealth and prestige in rural India. Hori gets a cow but pays with his life for it. After his death, the village priests demand a cow from his widow to bring his soul to peace. In Kafan (Shroud), a poor man collects money for the funeral rites of his dead wife, but spends it on food and drink. These two novels I read have lighted a new light to read all his literatures when I get time and I believe that his stories can definitely lead people to a much more stronger, decent world full of love to live in………………….
It was a long weekend and we were planning to spend it “Far From the madding Crowd”.
SO, the gears were ready and me Sunil and Amit started at a little early morning at 7’ 0 clock. Really friends the sound of roaring engine never felt so good, and finally the goggles went on with some rocking music and our plane (Hundai Verna ) was ready for a flier. Our plan was to visit some of the remote, unexplored basically lost temples of South India near Bangalore (Karnataka).
Our first Destination was famous KotilingeshwaraTemple. It falls in Kolar District of Karnataka approx. 130 KM by road from Bangalore. The engine was roaring to its best and we were leaving trail of vehicles behind us so that we can reach there early and after that continue our journey to some unexplored temples. Finally, we reached there by 10’0 clock, and the first view from road to temple mesmerized us proving our decision right to visit this temple.
This temple as of know contains 87 Lakhs Shivalingas and the plan is to reach out for 1 crore lingas. Apart from these lines and lines of shivalingas like a standing green crop there is one main shivalinga standing 130 mts tall and exactly opposite is a sculpture of Nandi falling no short of the lingas length.
The view was so good so eye catching that you could have spend almost whole day there, however, we did main pooja and after having some refreshments started for our next destination “Kaivara”.
Kaivara is famous for Kaivara temple and the scenic beauty and definitely the leading roads with standing crop and greenery made the journey pleasant. The temple is situated over the hill and hence the drive on the hill ways was really exciting. As we visited kaivara temple we saw the standing temple proving many laws of the nature wrong. The monument was so big with wonderful architecture and designs and many monuments of Mira, Sant Tukaram, etc. But, the main surprise was still to come.
There were stairs in the temple and the stairs lead us to a dark cave, where we have to enter half our backbone twisted and what we saw “A golden murti of Lord Vishnu” which is said to appear by itself in the cave. There was a big murti of lord “Narshimma”. The temple was totally a mesmerizing place with a pleasant ambience which fills your heart with new charisma……………..”
The big mountain peaks around the temple presented the people with such a great view that you can spend hours and hours viewing them.
These unexplored and somewhat lost temples of India prove to everyone that how strong, rich, charazmatic we were in our ancient times and when today most of the buildings falls in a short time these temples are still away from the reach of natural disasters and climatic changes. I have more about the journey as our next destination was “Kailash Giri” and “Kurudumale” temple, but will tell that in the next blog. However, after visiting these two places we were sure that there is definitely more excitement and pleasure to come our way………..
