Its all a bit too terrifyingly familiar. No more are we perturbed when we see visuals of mayhem on television. Have we become so numbed by all the violence that it hardly invokes a shock. Has it become almost a regular event, that we get to see? I suppose that's the price to be paid to be at one of the terror hot spots of the world. It really is very painful. I truly condemn the attack, and condole the lives that were lost. It could have been anyone in their shoes. Just a normal day, which turned out to be a nightmare of sorts. Someone just going about their normal lives, suddenly finds it shattered. Even as i write, the television channels continue to show the remains of a brutal act of violence. Like it happens each and every time, the security services go into an over drive. Seeking answers desperately. Will they be able to keep up with the foe in the future, to prevent such re-occurrences?

So thus after a lot of nagging threats by the Left they pulled out their support to the government. And thus began the entire drama of securing a confidence...... And nothing makes politics more interesting than the television. The news channels had a lot of &quo

The Wimbledon '08 is over and the king of Grass was dethroned by his arch nemesis. A result that might actually do a lot of good for the game. Probably the final was one of the best games ever to be played in the history of the tournament. But i would like to go back to when the tournament began this year. It began with startling accusations of max fixing in the game of tennis. Yes it did. In spite of assurances by game officials regarding the integrity of the game, speculations still remained quite high regarding it. However reports of players "throwing" games for monetary benefits have been known to surface from time to time, in the history of the game. Usually such accusations fly when a high ranked player loses rather pathetically, to a literally unknown player. Whether it was just a day of poor show or of poor sportsmanship is difficult to say. A gambling watchdog had claimed that a "top" player had thrown a match at Wimbledon two years ago. This was suspe
