Like every year this year also Govt announced the Padma awards, felt really happy for some names.I never understood the critera or eligibility of these awards, This year VVS Laxman got Padma Shri, I am not sure why he was ignored last year over MS Dhoni and Harbhajan, who got it last year and they skipped the ceremony despite being in India. Sania Mirza got in 2006, may be that year she would have reached to the third round of any tournament. Saif Ali Khan is still wondering why he got one ? They should give one to Rakhi Sawant too.
I am pretty sure that one day Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, may be her husband too will get 'Bharat Ratna'. Can somebody explain that how come Rajiv Gandhi got Bharat Ratna got 8 years before great JayPrakash Narayan ?
Last week there were lot of Bollywood award ceremonies, Suddenly everywhere there was a special award for Dharmendra, just because his movie release is round the corner. One award ceremony, there was a special award in some weird category for Aishwarya Rai and Amitabh Bachchan. They have introduced so many categories to please everyone. Shahrukh is crashing in every award show with his no-more-funny jokes, he can do anything for money. Artificial smiles, plastic emotions were everywhere. Actors like Aamir, Ajay Devgn, Naseer are very correct in not attending these ceremonies.

Republic Day !!!
This week nation celebrated 62th republic day. Although it was a holiday some customer escalations kept me busy whole day, happens sometime.
Got sick of 'Get Idea' ads. I wonder from where Abhishek got his accent, after all whole life he has spent in India. Seems he has lot of free time now a days, one new idiotic ad comes every week.
This republic day a ADC was burnt to death by some oil mafia, what a shame and then blame game started.
I strongly feel now that country needs a break from Congress. Whats the opposite of pro, its con. Going by it, opposite of progress is congress. This old joke suddenly has found lot of relevance.
We have a economist prime minister who cannot control the basic commodities prices, an agricultural minister for whom cricket is more important than his ministry, alliance partners in East and South who dictate their terms. What pains me more is the inaction against the people who were involved in mass scale corruption. After CWG mess, Kalmadi still headed the Indian contingent in Asian Games in China. He still occupies the IOA chief post. The only action from Congress was to remove him from some position of the Congress Working Committee, looks like he mismanaged their funds too. Govt is going all out to defend CVC Thomas despite his tainted record. A Raja has the 'Dalit' license, so nobody can touch him. But, when it comes to stopping some youth wing to hoist National flag in Kashmir, Govt is very proactive.

First Weekend of New Year !!!
Its a first weekend of this year. Today watched 'Do Dooni Char' movie, starring Rishi and Neetu Kapoor. A simple movie which captures the hardships and emotions of a typical Indian middle class family brilliantly. It is one of the best movies of this year, a must watch. Rishi and Neetu Kapoor as Duggal couple are simply superb.
Almost whole day glued to TV, watching IPL auctions. Around 80 million dollars and 350 players, open market bidding. Gautam went for highest bid, Delhi Daredevils could have retained him. After long time Sehwag and Gautam will play against each other, they have always played together. Harbhajan and Symonds will play for same eam, hope Bhajji will teach him some nice non-racist Indian slangs. RCB paid Saurabh Tiwary 1.6 million dollars, way more than some of the world's top most players. Hope he will prove his worth. Ganguly is better than them any day. I feel his larger than life image and misadvertised attitude issues went against him. Chennai retained almost their earlier team which they built for 3 years, they remain the best side. Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty with no knowledge of whats going around were there only to show the batons.
Can you imagine Ravindra Jadeja got more money than Zaheer, any explanation ? Irfan Pathan out of active cricket for almost a year (I am seeing him only in MTV and reality shows) got around 2 million dollars.
Cheers,
Hari.

Happy New Year !!!
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year !!!
I am very bad with new year resolutions, so I don’t make any.
Yesterday I got my 50th salary of my professional career. I started my first job from Oct, 06. It’s a nice feeling, looking forward to complete century, double-triple hundred and much more ☺
Vacations are getting over, offices will open from 3rd Jan. I am planning a Lucknow trip at end of the month, will be catching with some old friends in Delhi.
Cheers,
Hari.
