Pride of Manipur (Day 55)

Today Suranjoy & Mary Kom lost their respective weight category (Boxing) Semi-Final against China opposition and settle for Bronze medal @ Asian Games. They are the pride of Manipur who do well in almost all the competition they took part. This time around they did well too but since this year asian games were held in China, they got the advantages of home crowd. Best wishes to both player :) Day 55.

I didn't see anything (Day 42)

I saw a funny thing in News today. Sonia Gandhi will visit our state tomorrow, cuz of that our state government is doing everything to clean up the city. Fresh paint of walls, road divider, traffic point and government buildings. Frisking by police doubled and places that Sonia will visit are off limit to civilian. The really funny part is they planted some new fully grown plants around the city for temporary. Yes, you heard it right. The plants roots are still wraped by plastic bag, they dig some soil put the plants with the plastic still wraped and cover it with some soil. I know Sonia visit is important to our state and they will do everything to impressed her but don't ya think this kinda temporary thingy for her is a bit insulting to us?? The government literally selling us in front of our fellow countrymen. Day 42.

Diwali (Day 37)

HAPPY DIWALI to you all !! For those of you who doesn't know, it is one of the biggest festival in India. We called it the "festival of lights". And the best part of it is we don't even had a loadshedding today, itz a win-win situation. ;) So, as always we all went out drive around the city to see the lights and people and some fireworks (best view of fireworks - my place, upstairs) but this year, it wasn't that fun like last year. We didn't even use fireworks last year. Is it just me or the world just getting bored year by year :P Namaste. Day 37.

Winter+dust season (Day 29)

Well, it is just me or everything in around Imphal city looks dull and dusty ?? And itz one of the top 100 cleaniest city of India. I wonder how clean that top city is. If our dirty city is in 100 top city then that top city must not be like a heaven in cleaning department (just saying). Our city are in ruin cuz of all repairing things so, itz kinda a bit messy and as winter comes its even messier. Its dry in winter here so dust flying everywhere and making the road all fog up in evening. Well, if i got out for a drive outside then i should definitely wash my hair. :P having a great time here :) Day 29.

Far cry (Day 24)

Why North East state of India and Jammu & Kashmir are the only places with "Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958" ?? Why not in places where Naxalite-Maoist are on full swing ?? I don't want the other states to have this outdated and colonial era law which gives an army officer to shoot and killed a person by mere suspicious but if our own Goverment sees fit to still impose this act to our state then other disturbed area should also be under this law. Why only us ?? Is it because we are a bit different from others ?? Or our government which run the largest democracy country in the world is racist ?? There's so many question we want to ask but as they have no ears we can't do anything besides writing here and there about it. 100 of people makes more sound than 1 person. #justsaying Day 24.

We did it. (Day 14)

WE DID IT !! We successfully host the 19th Commonwealth Games 2010, Delhi being the host city. The best thing about this year games is out athletes were at their best winning 38 Gold medal, 101 medals in total and finishing at 2nd behind Australia making a Games history for us. Our player performed well in every event that they participates in. I wasn't expecting much from closing ceremony but it was pretty amazing. Fireworks and the lights was just too terrific and the Games itself were finished without a major incident (except India going down 8 nil in Hockey final). Next host city is Glasgow in 2014, Scotland. Hope India perform well there in 4yrs :) Day 14

BAM !! At your FACE !! (Day 3)


For months, most of our politician, news channels, citizen of India and rain were targeting India's preparation for "Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010", some even telling in Live television that they will pray so that India fail in hosting this sporting event. We all know that hosting this big event will cost a hell lot of money but still its wrong to sell our own country in front of other nation just months away from grand opening. For sports having to host an international event and participating as host player is a great pleasure to them, and because of this event all of Delhi's stadia are inovated and is now a world class venue. Practicing in a world class equipment will only make our players well prepared for coming International event, and them performing well will make us proud. Besides that Delhi, will have better infrastucture too. So, hosting Commonwealth doesn't waste all of ours money.



To all the haters India declared the games open with a BANG !! The opening ceremony that was held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was one of the most Lively and Colourful event ever. Kudos to Delhi/Commonwealth Games committee for making us all proud to be an INDIAN. The event was full of colourful Indian culture and finish it off with A.R. Rahman's Jai Ho.



WELCOME TO INDIA
