Edit: Anna Hazare to break fast tomorrow - 09-04-2011.


PS. This is a forwarded email. Nevertheless an email for a cause, for a better yet a corruption free India.

Who is Anna Hazare and more...

1. Who is Anna Hazare?
An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What's so special about him?
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra
 
3. So what?
This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.
In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.

4. Ok,...?
This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

5. Really, what is he fighting for?
He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.
 
6. How that can be possible?
He is advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

8. It's an entirely new thing right..?
In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?
The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.
Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the LOK PAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?
Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.
Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

10. Ok, got it. What can I do?
At least we can spread the message. How?
Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.
At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption from India.
At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.
At least we can pray for his good health

Yuvraj beat Ricky Ponting

In a shocking incident post India-Australia semi-final match played at Ahmedabad on 25th of March 2011, an incident occurred which was captured by our camera man!! Yuvi (aka Yuvraj Singh) beat Ricky Ponting after India beat Australia in the Cricket World Cup 2011 semi final. Australia, previously, had scored 260 for the loss of 5 wickets in the allotted 50 overs. India effortlessly scored the required number of runs with 5 wickets in hand.

It is believed that Yuvi was very angry that he couldn't beat the same Australian team when the two teams had clashed previously in the 2003 cricket world cup tie.

Yuvi beat Ponting?


PS - I am not the photographer of the above photograph. I had got the above photo as part of an email and have put it here for the world to see!!

The story too was made up by me for fun... No such bad incidents occurred in real as mentioned here.. :)

Great imagination of world cup 2011

Here is a morphed picture of the current Indian world cup squad posing as the team from the legendary movie "Lagaan"...

This was another email forward I received today from a friend of mine. Please note that I am not the creator of this picture... So all the appreciation for the creativity behind the morphing should go to the "anonymous" person behind it.

Visualizing Pi

From Wikipedia: π (sometimes written pi) is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any Euclidean plane circle's circumference to its diameter; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.14159265 in decimal notation. Many formulae from mathematics, science, and engineering involve π, which makes it one of the most important mathematical constants.
