Where is INDIA heading towards ??? - " Investment Plans "

The present Indian Economy is growing at a scorching pace .. IT and ITES sectors , the Real Estates , shares and stock market to mention a few ... So how does it benefit us ?? What does this really mean ??

Answer is simple these are now the key ways of investment .. The IT buzz has been far reaching with India majors like Infosys , Tcs , Wipro have started moving their attention towards the rural areas in parts of Andhra , Tamil Nadu and else where .. So the opportunities are a plenty in this sector . With a huge number of BPO organization operating from India , it finds India a major competitor for China in the global market..

Chapter 1 : Real Estates : " Biggest Investment happening here " : Huge ROI

The real estate prices are shooting above the roof.. This sector in recent times has taken everyone by a surprise .. The land rises have sored above expectations and the flats are demanding far more price , that is even unimaginable.. With lower interest rates for home loans , the middle class stomach is getting emptied day by day.. I will highlight few major places where the real estates are of great appreciation.. Bangalore ( Silicon Valley of India ), Delhi ( places near Noida ) , Chennai , Hyderabad , Coimbatore .. The cities find themselves on top for investments in real estates .. In places like coimbatore , where i belong to seems to have a 100 % appreciation in the land prices within a year or so.. Few places in Mumbai and Chennai are quoted similar prices to that of places in Newyork , Manhattan !!! ( Really Suprising )..

Now people are more smarter , started acquiring land in the outskirts of these cities , which in near future will be a place IT hub or a township with state of art facilities .. So think wisely before u pull out your purse and invest in real estates .. There is huge scope in real estates and the brokers are having the " time of their life " .. I think these are people who are really benefited by real estates .. They get lump sum money as commission and brokerage ... " Be wise or you lose " ... This is the right time for investment and talk to investment guru's before you execute your plan..

Cricket @ Synopsys - Continued ..

I know you people must be waiting for the result of the match ... Being in such a good position , we were in the drivers seat .. I was a happy man an hour ago , but the crucial over came when i bowled the 17th over , the scores read 78/8 in 16 overs.. Another 40 odd runs in 9 overs... 2 wickets to go...

I bowled the first ball of 17th over , short pitched delivery on the leg stick , bang there it goes for a huge six... Now i started feeling the pressure ... Next ball , full toss , straight down the ground almost missed the boundary by inches , ( sigh of relief for me :-) ) ..My hands started to sweat and couldn't hold the ball properly ..My captain was ushering me to keep it straight , the fielders were strengthened on the off side, then came the 3rd ball bang on target leg stick , there it goes to leg side boundary ... So 14 of 3 balls ... Our confidence weakened , fielders shouting at me.. But i could manage the next 3 ball without giving any runs ... 1 over 14 runs , the turning point of the match ...

And then the batsmen played sensibly .. They played like top order batsmen taking singles of almost every ball .. The fielding was spread , fear that we would lose the match... They played like real champions ... Nothing can be taken away from them ... One guy supported the other and they played in with immense command.. Stealing singles and scored an odd boundary ... Finally the result was obvious we lost to a better team..

But sometimes when i think back and do a post mortem i would say we were very unluncky , we weren't given runouts and a caught behind appeal ... Our fielders were very sharp on the fielding ... But anyways , thats part of the game .. No one can be complained and i even heard the unmpire say " I gave a wrong decision (caught behind appeal) which costed us the match.. Thats how cricket is played ... The whole night i was thinking about the match and i felt bad , could have done better ... But i always tell to myself , maybe the best days are ahead and this was just an experience ...

So to everyone , handling pressure is an art and i think maybe late Bob Woolmer failed at excelling @ this art ... The amount of pressure ,tension , stress playing at international level is now the talking point ... Lets pray his soul rest in peace...

Cricket @ Synopsys

My cricketing experience goes a long way from my childhood to were am right now.. I have followed this sport and it was as if i was born with a bat in one hand and the ball in the other.... Such was the passion that i had for this sport... I grew up admiring the legends ( Sachin , Dravid ) to name a few ... Unlike these legends iam a sub-standard player who bats up the order and rolls his hands for few off breakers ... ( we call it " Galli Cricket ")

Saturday , 17Th march was the 'D' day for Synopsys cricket .. We need to win against a very ordinary team Sierra Atlantic , who have lost to all other teams in the league .. We were just a win away to take a birth in the semifinals.. So it was a very crucial match and every1 in my team was geared for the match ... For the build up before the match we had 2 practice nets @ Gymkhana grounds ...

It was a bright , sunny day and all of us were expecting a good day of cricket.. The match started of with our captain winning the toss , and without hesitation we batted first .. Runout is anonymous to a bad word in "cricket" and i was a culprit of it only to happen in the 3rd ball of the innings.. So out for duck :-)... And our batsmen consolidated well in middle over to reach a modest target of 122 in 25 overs... ( !! I felt we should have bowled first as there was swing and some help for the fast bowlers )...

Then we were on the field and we knew our strength relies on bowling as we had a very good pace attack.. During the course of the tournament we had 50 - 50 win-loss percentage and both the wins came when we defended our score .. So bowling was clearly our strength , so there wansnt any surprise our opening bowlers were on a rampage got top 4 wickets for a meagre 25 runs... And i had to bowl out few overs as we were short of one fast bowler for that match ...

I had bowling nightmares during the first match when i bowled pathetic conceding too many runs.. So i really wanted to put that performance behind me and really put a good performance for this match... My intial 2 overs were the best , just giving away 2 runs and taking 2 wickets .. I was a happy man then ... The opponents were 70/8 in 15 overs , reeling under pressure and the victory was in our sight ( i was dreaming of a 40 , may be 30 runs victory !!! ) , which would boost our NRR (Net Run rate) and make it easy to qualify for semis.. But came the turning point of the match ...

Sorry i dont have time now... Will update you all in my next blog.. Keep Smiling :-) ..

India Poised to win WC '07 : Beginning

I really dont understand one basic fact !!! If it comes to start gossiping about sports or movies , everyone has a word or 2 about it..And Iam not an exception.. People reading this might think , this guy seems to always write about cricket and seems to be a cricket freak :-) .. But somehow i find it interesting to put something to the readers when it comes to writing blogs on Cricket or Football ( any sports for that matter) ... U will surely find something to take away after reading this and do go ahead ...

The biggest talking point nowadays has been the Cricket WC in the Indies (Cricketing extravaganza starting this month) .. Young kids from the age of 5 , to the passionate and enthusiastic youth of 18's dreaming of donning the Indian colors someday( which is still a mystery???), to the oldies who have followed cricket for a very long time are eagerly waiting for the WC '07 to kick off in style ... I have seen young kids playing on the road sides , apartments , any vacant areas etc.. which we dont find often ( Courtesy : Real Estates) playing with such great passion and rigour.. They just toil themselves , running , diving , catching , fielding they do all kind of stuffs prescribed in the Cricketing book (Bible).. My expectations have gone sky rocketing high and hoping India pulls of a memorable win this time round..

Readers please wait for my next blog... Will update soon more on this... Releasing shortly :-)..

Only Nike can do this : just do it

Just saw one of Nike's mind-blowing Ad's and thought should share with u people.. I think this one of the most amazing Ad sequence and it matches one of the best Nike Ad's filmed for various football players ...

Just take break and watch it one more .. This goes to show how much Cricket means to the people of India ...

The whole scene starts , one of the familiar places we often find, "traffic jams" .. There comes the boy, enthusiastic and passionate , gears up to have a go at the ball.. Then the scene transcends to all around the ground ( ie. Traffic jam) in this scenario .. we could see lot of other interesting stuff happening around the park , each one has a go at the game ( elephants , thata , pattis , buisneesman , taxiwalas etc... ) .. Before scene transfolds into the climax we find a body line delivery directed @ the chest ( shows the rigour of Cricket) .. And finally representing the spirit of cricket , there come the guy with high arm action , 2 feet above the ground , :-) ..... U better watch it ...
