The tiger has roared again as usual but this time off the mark. Bal Thackeray the patriarch of Sena spit venom through the mouthpiece Samnna regarding none other the legend Tendulkar. Thackeray was reacting to the statement by Ted in media on mumbai. Tendulkar said that mumbai is for all indians. Taking a shot in cricketing terms Thackeray termed the statement as cheeky single. With due respect to Thackeray's cricketing knowledge (if it exist) i don't think the statement was cheeky but more of point blank view. I have been supporting Sena (voting for them) since i got the voting rights. There approach to Hinduism in general and marathi manoos in particular has always likened by me and many. But in recent times Sena is found wanting in its approach and execution towards the cause of marathi manoos. I always believed that there are few untouchables in this country, the modern day definition. Sachin Tendulkar, APJ Abdul Kalam and some others. The people of this count

India unexpectedly knocked out of ICC T20 World Cup. All the team members were part of the IPL and had good match practice. All other foreign players who played in IPL are having game of there life in T20. Whether it is Chris Gayle, AB devillers and others. It was surprising barring Indian players all others who played in IPL are performing to the peak. Indians have been guilty of overdoing the T20 format. As rightly pointed out by coach Kirsten that the team lost because of fatigue. Dhoni can come up with other reasons as most Indian captain do, he cannot deny the negative impact of IPL on Indian players. Take a example of hard hitting batsman Suresh Raina.

Youngster like him needs to understand the importance of playing according to the situations, pitch

Part II 7). Another areas which can be explored for research and development is green energy. Solar, wind energy, ethanol from corn are some areas in which research can be encouraged. Currently India is on track in terms of solar energy. Lot of companies has shown interest and started heavily investing in projects related to solar energy. but the benefit will be immense if we can come up with technology which is cost effective and easily available to common people. 8). Currently India is gripped by shortage of power (electricity). Most of the cities in India witness power cuts owing to non availability of enough electricity. These power cuts are results of in efficient planning on part of the energy policy makers and politician. This is another area in which government private partnership can be helpful in creating power plants to meet the demand. 9). India has been spread heading the growth in software services. But now the focus should be shifted to product based services. Even after

Part I In recent times recession is the buzz word used everywhere by everybody and anybody. Recession has hit hard in USA as well as in India. There is no quick solution to this problem, but gradual step by step techniques can lower the impact on the everyday life. From India's point of view the recession impact can be reduced by: 1). Voting a stable government at the center. It will ensure that the economic reforms are carried out with long term goals. Currently any government coming to power is of short cut mentality where reforms are introduced to appease the voter for the next election without having any long term plans. 2). Tap on corruption. This is very vital aspect to country's growth. Corruption menace must be stopped. It will not only increase funds in exchequer and the government will have more money at its disposable to invest in infrastructure projects. These infrastructure projects then will trigger economy by inducing money in the market. There are lot of areas i
