Bangalore's Namma Metro






Bangalore,IT city,silicon valley of India, one of the fastest growing city of the world going to get Metro rail very soon.People of the city are very happy and hopeful that after metro rail service city traffic will get some ease.Bangalore city is Over 10 million people city,metro city of India,has very horrible traffic ,very less road and more vehicles,always traffic jams.City roads are struggling to accommodate the load of vehicle,traffic.People of city suffers lot due to this bad traffic jams.in the pick hour 10 minutes journey takes more then hour to reach the destination.Hope this kind of time wasting in traffic will get reduced.

Metro rail service fist started in India city of joy Kolkata then Calcutta in 1985.Kolkata metro given lot of comfort for city people.it was great for our under developed country .underground rail,it was an achievement for Indian people.After Kolkata it was our capital Delhi's turn.Delhi started Metro in 2006 ,Delhi metro is also great success,traffic jams got reduces people of Delhi now commute more on Metro compare to Delhi blue line bus,its safe and fast.It has reduced the jams and traffic chaos in the city.After Delhi successful Metro other Indian metro city like Bangalore,Hyderabad ,Ahmadabad started their metro rail projects.Bangalore Metro going to start on coming April 2011.As of now various test drive is going on and if all are on track deadline meets Bangalorean will enjoying metro service on very soon,next month April.


As there is saying that nothing good comes easy and without cost,it cost lot economically and ecologically.The total cost to complete this project s huge,crore of rupees .Bangalore city lost lost lot of tree as well.this city has rich greenery.Bangalore is known for garden in this city,garden city of India but for all these development we are losing great deal of city's greenery,that's kind of hazardous to our environment.Because of all these tree cut and new construction Bangalore weather is no more cool,its very unpredictable now.Day by day temperature is increasing.Compare to other Indian city weather still good ,not much extreme but its loosing its charm now.Apart from lots of tree cut city people lost their beautifully build houses , many people effected on this Metro project,lost houses ,properties.Govt has to compensate for these loses who lost their houses but that compensation is less then the investment made by the people to build house.But anyway if ends well, all well.


whatever loss has happened to city people but believe is this that it will give more to city people compare to loss.Surely Bangalore will get new look,better look ,traffic will get ease.BMTC will be sharing the load with METRO.People will commute in metro more then BMTC bus,it will be fast and safe as well.This April going to start the first phase of Metro.This first phase will connect only half of the city .next other phases will cover full city including New international airport in Yelahanka which is 40 KM away from city.Hopefully Namma Metro rocks.

National Games and National Interest


34th national games under way in the capital of Jharkhand Ranchi,but it seems very less are aware of it or no interest at all,why who is bother when cricket world cup is here.this is the irony of our Olympic games,no interest,media are totally ignorant about National games.Only interested people who are participating and hosting state.Jharkhand Govt. with Olympic association of India together organising the national games in Ranchi first time and we heard that Jharkhand Govt. has build very good games village,sports arena but all are unnoticed,no media coverage.Media can make show for cricket for hour and hour but for these games they are not at all interested they are not even covering any news about these games.I am not against the cricket ,I love cricket as much as all people love.I also hoping to India wins this world cup.But if you want to develop sport culture in India .we have to give importance to all kind of sports not only cricket.we should encourage such kind of event like National games Media can play good role to highlight this kind of event.More coverage more popularity more interest.we can't be ignoratnt about these big event and hope to win many Olympic medals,how come we?



In India Hockey is the National Game but where we are in hockey not even top six best team in the world.In football not in the world map at all and in Athletic we have not even won single medal in the Olympic.we are good in cricket only ,cricket is the only game in which we are world class No.1 in test ,No 2 in ODI.If we can excel in cricket why can't we in hockey Football ,Athletics and other Olympic games .we can all sport bodies needs to works towards this to popularise the respective games with the help of various medium like news channel ,by the organising good event.We are an emerging power in the world,our economy is emerging like a super power so we need to show the word that we can be sport super power as well.

World cup fever 2011

2011 cricket world cup comes to India and and its fever is on high.why not because this time our team is favourite to win the world cup.India hosting world cup with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh after 1996.This is the first time for Bangladesh.This is the Tenth world cup since it started in 1975.India got very good chance to win this time as India Bating line of is one of the best in the world.we have Sachin Tendulkar the God of cricket.Most probably this will be last for Sachin to win the world cup.He has achieved everything in cricket except the world cup.in 2003 we were very near to win world cup but we missed.Lets hope this time we win,our team look too good to win let hope and pray need some kind of luck as well.
This world cup is more then a month affair 44 days.Started in Dhaka 19th Feb India Vs Bangladesh.full time pass for cricket lover.and for news channel full of news and masala,
Lot of discussion and stories about world cup,best match ,Best innings etc.its like festival for all news channel.News channel making lot of hype,not leaving any stone to capitalise this opportunity ,knowing this is a cricket crazy country,make any show about cricket people will watch.
coming to the favorite team, apart from India, Australia current world champion and No. one ODI team can't be rule out they are also very Strong team.and South Africa this time want to be champion ,as every time they chock in world cup they want to change this choker tag.SriLanka is one of host is also very strong team they will also fight to win this cup second time.Among All of team ,Pakistan team is very unpredictable team they can beat any team and surprise all,they are not favorite but they always comes with lot of surprise they also have lot of young and talented players.England fresh from Ashes victory they are also very charged up team and they are also hoping the to make good mark in this world cup.West Indies ,New zealand and Bangladesh have very less chance to win but in cricket anything is possible.
apart from these nine test playing nation, five non test playing team also participating Canada,Kenya,Ireland,Netherlands and Zimbabwe.They don't have much hope but they will try to do some upset as they did in last time,but in subcontinent its very difficult for these minnows to do better as wickets are very flat and slow so this wold cup is going to be run feast ,lot of run will be scored ,high scoring match.India started their first match with very high score 371 . 300 plus runs Will very common this time.
