    The first win was phenomenal.. the second was the worldcup for Sachin where BCCI finally brought the championship back to the subcontinent for Sachin to win it. Not sure if the team would've performed the same had it been an European or Australian tournament. I am not demeaning the team but just...

    They play because they started playing young and were guided well. We invest in nothing.. our sports achievements can all be credited to those individuals an their coaches for their hardwork and struggle. The country cant take credit for anything. Sachin became the Sachin we know because he...

    Be it any sport in the country.. there is no effort to identify and nurture talents from a young age. We have a good cricket team just because kids play cricket and if they feel they are good at it they themselves goes for pro coaching. Nobody bothers to encourage/persuade kids to be active in...

    French defense effectively cut off the Belgian trio from each other. Only Hazard shone as a lone withering beam.My predictions proved to be completely wrong.. yet again:p England went a bit cozy after scoring that early lead imo.. they could've sealed the game had they pressed on for a second!

    Hmm.. IMO England has been showing sparks of brilliance occasionally. But they are not consistent. On their day, england can be disruptive.

    I know it's in contrast with most of the predictions here.. but I am expecting Belgium vs England final.

    Your thoughts on the BJP's govt. claim of "Every village in the country has been electrified."

    Fancy Utopian whim..!! as always I wish I could be as +ve as you.. but then reality whacks me on my butt cheeks! Ouch!!:eek: From wiki: "World organizations and international agencies, like the IEA, are concerned about the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels, and coal in particular...

    Crazy twist in story for the Argentinians..:) But will they make use of this lucky break? Argentina showed some flair in the first half of the game against Nigeria.. far better coordination than what we have seen so far in this tournament from them. France will be real tough opponents, there is...

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    Oil price might've crashed.. but the Govt reaped. They increased the central excise duty several times during then. The oil price crash turned out to be a great harvest for the Govt. So please don't put your blame on oil prices. Economy might be complicated.. but crashing GDP growth rates is a...

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    Well.. that is an opinion. Even if this is true.. this is just pointing more fingers towards the current Government.. as to what caused an export stagnation for three years.

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    I remember asking these same questions to some bhakths.. and I was appalled hearing them referring to those deaths as some minor Collateral Damage.. and that such deaths happen all the while in India and so on... I have to concur with what I read else where in TE. These people deserve this...

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    My point was demonetization set back the GDP growth rate by 2% which means a loss of 3.3 Lakh Crore. I just referred to MMS because he is a renowned economist (unlike Modi) and he predicted a growth rate slump of 2%. And it ACTUALLY happened...

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    Add to that.. demonetization set back the GDP growth rate by 2% (as predicted by MMS.. remember!!) which in turn translates to a loss of 3.3Lakh Crore. That is the enormity of loss the country had to suffer because of some stupid person holding the highest office, who has got no clue of...
