Nature has endowed us with all its beauty and diversity. It gives us a kind of unknown peace and calm which seem to slide into one’s soul. It has in a vast store for mankind that we’ve been using since ancient times and still the process is going on. Nature’s giving its best bothering nothing in return. Have we ever thought of it?
A fool and his money are soon parted. The same is the case with us, nature is our money and we all are damn fool. Ignorance is bliss, we are still not aware of the fact that what goes around comes around. The objective is just to catapult a notion in the human mind that we have no rights to interfere in nature and its laws. Daily nuisances and laws made to eradicate them are really becoming successful like ‘a watched pot never boils’.
Every cloud has silver lining. Mistakes are lessons in wisdom. The past can’t be changed; the future is yet in our power. The way to do things is to begin. It’s time to put hands on deck because a small step in favour of nature will be a giant leap to mankind. So, from now take a lesson to be learnt from nature and try with our vigour in its fullest in making our Earth heaven and proving that it’s a nice place to live in.

Phenomenon of Death- Soul & Body Seperation
Death is separation of the soul from the physical body. Death of the soul from the physical body. Death becomes the starting point of a new and better life. Death merely opens the door to a higher form of life; it is only the gateway to a fuller life. Birth and death are jugglery of Maya. He who is born begins to die. He who dies begins to live. Birth and death are merely doors of entry and exit on the stage of this world. In reality no one comes, no one goes. Brahmn or eternal alone exists.
Just as our move from one house to another house, the soul passes from one body to the other one to gain experience. Just as the man casting of worn-out garments takes on new ones, so the dweller in this body, casting off worn-out bodies, enters into others that are new.
Death is not the end of the life. Life is one continuous process never ending process. Death is only a passing and necessary phenomenon, which every soul has to pass to gain experience for its further evolution.
Death is sleep. Birth is like waking up. Death brings promotion to a new and better life. A man of discrimination and wisdom is not afraid of death. Every soul is a circle. The circumference of this circle is nowhere but its centre is in the body. Death means the change of this centre from body to body. Why, then should we be afraid of death?
Death is not the end of life. It is merely cessation of an important individuality. Life flows on, till it merges in the eternal.

Biggest Victory Ever
Cricket is not just a game but is considered as a religion in our country. Hosting World Cup '11 was the most prestigious moment for all us. Not even common wealth games have became popular to such an extent. In India, people are engaged in watching every single match of Team India, without caring about a single thing. They use to watch with family, friends, in streets, shops, sports club or anywhere, anytime. Around 67.7 million people watched the world cup finals whereas 67.3 million people watched the India-Pakistan world cup semifinal. No doubt, India is crazy for cricket.
After winning the maiden World Cup in '83, it became a need not only for the team but also for all of us to become the world champion again and make the World cup victory count to a couple. '83 world cup holds the largest part of memory cells in our mind. The final raised the specter of an Indian humiliation in the hands of the Goliaths of world cricket, the West Indies. Even though India had beaten West Indies in the group stage, the wise and knowledgeable of the game predicted a comprehensive win for the Indies. Batting first, India were bundled out for 183 in the face of the hostile West Indian pace attack. However, when it came to their turn, the West Indian batsmen collapsed and ultimately fell short of the target by 43 runs. The Indian spirit was epitomized by an astonishing catch by Kapil Dev who sprinted back 20 yards to latch onto the skier from the marauding blade of the great Viv Richards. As the news filtered through to the fans back home, it led to unprecedented scenes of jubilation throughout Delhi and Calcutta and the rest of the country.
Clinching the coveted title from West Indies in its home ground under the leadership of Kapil Dev, exploiting non-favourable conditions was one of the greatest achievements ever.
Winning the World Cup '11, was also a tough task. The world cricket has changed a lot since '83. CWC '11 was completely different from that of '83. In today's cricket world, conditions also fail to change the destiny of a match. Now the game is not only about facing a ball with a speed of 150 kmph but also swallowing the bitter saliva when we realize that the ball has been fielded in the point region with a reaction time of nearly .06 sec. And the condition of a bowler is also pitiable, when he fails to decide that, "which type of ball should I deliver to the batsman so that he may not convert it to a bigger one again"? Cricket is a game of patience, wait for the right ball to hit otherwise you are gone, luck factor also matters but not always. Earlier, a target of 230-240 was estimated a good one, under certain conditions of pitch, dew and the like but now a days the estimation criteria level has increased. Even a total of 320-330 can be easily chased.
India's path to the world cup final was not at all easy. Firstly, it was Australia, world's no. 1 team and then it was Pakistan, the team who reached semifinals without having its main players in the squad. Dhoni's form was out of the game before the final and also there was a confusion, who is going to play at the 7th place, Raina or Pathan? Dhoni as a skipper was doing all the things marvellously but with his performance he was a bit tremulous. Nevertheless, he showed that he's not only the responsible captain but also a great player who can change the fate of match with his magical and unexpected performance.
In a nut shell, it was good to become the world champion again, for the second time. It doesn't matter when, where and with whom you played but the thing that matters is, you played to your level best indulging all your strength, blood and sweat in the game. Its not the size of the dog in the fight but its the size of the fight in the dog that counts. And then you come to know that you are the world champion, really a great 100 billion feeling.
Proud to be an Indian.
Congrats to all... :-)

Fake Story of Rohan Rathore
You must have seen a youtube video for a song named ‘Emptiness’ circling around on facebook and blogs. The song is said to be sung by an IIT Guwahati student named Rohan Rathore. The story goes like this:
Rohan Rathore pursuing engineering studies from a prestigious institute(IIT-G) in India suffered from cancer. He loved a girl deeply. He demonstrated his feelings for the girl, but the girl did not revert back. Apparently she was not interested in Rohan, leaving him heart-broke.
Rohan, in this pain, composed a song called ‘Emptiness’ about his unturned love for the girl. The soul song(with guitars and drums playing in the background) was for the heart broken lovers.
The story further says that Rohan, who was suffering from cancer, died 15 days after recording this song.
Here is the Youtube link for the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kblEEfoWpAM
It has been revealed by some IIT Guwahati students that the story is completely FALSE !
Yes, this was a inhumanly clever marketing tactic by some people. Let’s see what they did right:
1. They knew the song was good. But an underground track does not reach a wide audience easily. So they associated a story with it.
2. It is the young people(school and college students) who are the target audience. So they made a story to target these people. And these people are also easily susceptible.
3. There are two prominent ways of viral marketing. Either make it a funny thing, or make it a Sad scandalous thing. These people stooped so low that they made a story to play with emotions of youngsters who were naive enough to trust them.
4. They used Three strong keywords- LOVE, IIT-GUWAHATI and CANCER. ‘Love’ was enough to pull romantically influenced people. IIT-Guwahati is a prestigious college in India, so it again became an eye-catcher. ‘Cancer’ disabled the reasoning abilities of the target audience and aroused a feeling of pity in them. Game Over.
5. A bunch of idiots found the recipe for a great viral marketing campaign, but it isn’t quite easy to fool anyone across the internet, especially in the age of internet when you can just ask anyone through a chat.
IIT-Guwahati students say that nobody with that name ever existed with such a story. If this incident was real, it would have been in news all over the country. We would not have found about it through a video.
If the motive of this viral marketing was to promote the song, then the masterminds have already lost it. Nobody will believe that the composer-singer is anyone but ‘Rohan Rathore’.

"Development & Environment should go hand in hand"
Develpoment of a country is directly proportional to the people of that country who are concerned for it, because its only they who can make some differences. Our country is a developing one. We are growing both vertically and horizontally, day by day. Our population has reached to the second largest, however we the 7th largest country of this world. Our needs and market are growing at a faster rate.
At this critical stage, getting developed and keeping environmental issues side by side gets a bit tough. No doubt that its our duty to take care of nature or environment, but for complete dedication we'll have to pay the price for it. The pace of our develpoment tempo will get slowed. But it doesn't mean that we should use nature or related products relentlessly and caring about nothing. It only mean that the contribution list should include the developed country in large number and their participation and involvment to a great extent.
Now coming to the news, it doesn't matter what laws are being made or going to be made but the thing is that we've to choose that person who can make laws keeping country's and its peoples' fate and state in mind. I personally don't want that the rule should be followed because this's not the proper solution for the problem related to such a big issue, Environment.
All correct, if we consider the mind set of the maker of this rule then Heavy vehicles are also polluting the environment to such an extent that it contribute 75% to the total pollution. Then why isn't he banning the heavy vehicles ? The answer is simple, "not possible". Then, why the government is not caring about what people want?
Now a days we can see more SUVs on the roads of not only India but in several countries. Big and spacious car is the demand of major population, as it fulfills the entire need and wish of a person. So, why the hell, are they(govt.) making such non-acceptable rules ? If government is seriously concerned about environment, then it should have to give order, rather offer to the manufacturers to make ecofriendly products or modify their previous products as much as they can.
The only solution to all the problems is, "Development and Environment should go simultaneously."
