change ........

hello ,

i am sorry for not writing in last week as i was tied up with the preparation for my tests ... 

the tests went very well ... proves the proverb as so you sow  so shall you reap .. 

the headlines was of course the change in power at the white house  . President elect Obama became the 44th President of the USA on Jan 20th ,... the whole event was broad casted live and, i bet those who managed to save their TV's in this economic turmoil , would have seen the whole procedure ... i must admit that it was done with a lot of pomp and was made as grand as possible , which included live performances by U2 , Beyonce and  Jennifer Lopez.. it seemed as if the whole of America had gathered to get a glimpse of the president ... 

otherwise the other biggies that made news was the movie "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE" got the Golden globe award and getting nominated for the Oscars ,,, let's hope they win it too ... 

The prime minister had undergone an operation for blockage in the heart , the entire nation prays for his speedy recovery and be back in his chair to lead the country with renewed spirit and zeal ... 

that's it this time 

until next time ........

bye!!!!!

next what and where ????

hello, 

The week didn't go all that good . Well , the head of SATYAM confessed to having manipulated  the balance sheet of the company and showing phoney assets and liabilities . I am surprised on how on how he managed to get away from all problems all this while . The biggest shocker is that the company has it's branches in multitudinous country so it's a shame on Mr Raju and all those who were involved in this base act..... The big question is that is this the tip of the dung heap ?  wonder how many other companies are doing this and putting not only their employees in jeopardy  but also the country's dignity at stake ... what is so ironical in all that the company's name and it's  shameful act are such a cliche. 

The other reason why things went amiss was due to the strike by the truckers who demanded reduction in the price of diesel by RS.1o . The government agreed to RS.3 but agitators aren't happy and negotiations are on .. The result of all this was that the entire country faced a flash situation of scarcity of fuel  and long queue of vehicles at the pump for refuelling ... luckily we escaped this frustrating situation as we had refuelled our car the previous day. 

I would like to sign out by putting a SMS I got which is informative and interesting ...... 

13th May - Jaipur ... June XX .... 26th July - Ahmedabad ... August XX .... 13th Sep  Delhi ... OCT xx.... 26th NOV  Mumbai .... DecXX,,,, 13th JAN?? 

next where ? so everyone is advised to be careful in the week of Jan 13th as this is the observation of bomb sequence ... There's no harm in keeping ourselves alert , we want everyone safe .... 

So stay safe ,,,,,,,,,,, 

bye 

new year....................

hello 

WISHING YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

so .. leaving behind the hideous , traumatic  2008 ,we ushered the new year with great pomp and pleasure ........  with fire works lighting up the shy and hard music rocking the grounds we saw the new year coming in .... like every year I waited for 00:00 hrs EST to strike , to watch the new year's celebration at the Times Square , New York . This time the former prez of the States Mr. Clinton and his wife were there too ...... so a double bonanza!!!!!!!!

dreams , prayers , hopes, silver lining , change for good, peace, vote, responsibility ....... these words concise the wishes of all citizens in the world ..... Improvement in the economy , abolition of terror  more money , employment seems to be the mantra everywhere .,... 

even in all the celebration and fun there was a bomb blast in Assam ..... thankfully not many were injured .... This is in all means is unfair ,,,,,,,

Also, I've been hooked on finishing the article i started yesterday .. the topic i chose was celebrities and media ,,,, whether they should be be given more privacy or is it the price they pay for becoming a star ..... let's see when it gets published !!!!!! i have also witten another article

 on the system of education in India which I have sent for publication !!!!!!! i plan to write more articles this year along with writing my British Council , ESOL exam ........ 

That's it from me this time

until next time ....................

BYE!!!!!!
