Review of article "Wings Over Rajpath" from Geopoltics Magazine.

Refer to “WINGS OVER RAJPATH” (Geopolitics January 2016) by Mayank Singh . In this article writer has rightly explained that how a Republic day is made more special by Air show of Helicopters, Sukhoi, Dhruv, Chakra etc. The writer mentioned that viewers either watching live or on televisions enjoy a lot that moment when tricolor flutter in blue sky playing hide and seek with our eyes disappearing in to the clouds.
There are three types of aircraft which participate and all take off from different locations. Fighters, transport and Helicopters have which have different speed and they cover different locations. Visibility of these shows are really important in the overall planning of the display. With visibility decreasing the aircraft have to be brought closer to the VIP and the public and then line of sight also has to be adjusted.
The author briefly described how much hard work they have to do before performing on 26th jan and in front of the president, prime minister and thousands of people watching live and millions of on television. The preparations, even for highly experienced pilots, begin a fortnight before the Republic day parade. The team leaders and Deputy Leaders meet on January 13 for their familiarisation of flying day. January 19 is the day when both the leaders fly in their formation with a continuous practice till January 22. Rigorous training, total discipline, teamwork, focus to the task at hand, risks taking, total faith in each other’s ability, alertness and leadership, display flying is much more than just display of fine flying skills.

The rise of a new fraud in the name of Dream Cruise Job.

The country has seen so many positive changes in all these years, the new government has availed many schemes for the skill development and career opportunities yet lots of young graduates are struggling to get proper jobs. S killed and well-educated job seekers don’t get the right opportunity which has led many cases of people suffering from anxiety and depression sometimes resulting in suicides.   There have been many episodes by known Hindi Journalist Ravish Kumar regarding the struggle of youths getting government jobs which rose protests all over the country. The journalist tried to make a difference but his effort wasn’t good enough to impress the government to avail jobs and right the wrong. The Lack of jobs have opened portals for fraud and scam where a job seeker is promised a permanent job and he/she is asked for money which is never refunded and then they vanish. It hasn’t been many days since the young Sagar Thakur also known as “Shaggy” the alleged mastermin...

क्या ये गंभीर और युवराज के लिये आखिरी आईपीएल है?

अगर गौतम गंभीर और युवराज सिंह आपके पसंदीदा क्रिकेटर है तो इस आईपीएल उनको अच्छे से देख लीजिए क्या पता ये साल उनका आखिरी सीजन हो। राष्ट्रीय टीम में सालों से बाहर चल रहें दोनों ही खिलाड़ी इस आईपीएल में अपने फॉर्म से जुझ रहें है। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि हर खिलाड़ी का एक वक्त होता है और शायद अब इन सीनियर खिलाड़ीयों का वक्त चला गया है। अपने समय में अच्छे अच्छे गेंदबाजों के छक्के छुड़ाने वाले युवी आजकल आईपीएल टीम के लिए बेंच गर्म कर रहें है। दो वर्ल्ड कप फाईनल के हीरो गौतम गंभीर भी अंतिम एकादश में जगह बनाने मे नाकाम रहें है। कोलकाता को दो बार चैंपियन बनाने वाले कप्तान का टूर्नामेंट के बीच में कप्तानी छोड़ते ही कयास लगाए जाने लगे थे कि अब शायद आईपीएल के इतिहास में पहली बार गौतम गंभीर को आखिरी ग्यारह में शामिल नहीं किया जाएगा। गंभीर एक सूलझे हुये खिलाड़ी है और जैसे ही उन्हें ये लगा कि अब उनकी जगह टीम में नहीं बनती है तो वो क्रिकेट को अलविदा कहने में देर नहीं करेंगें। कुछ लोगों का मानना हैं कि बल्लेबाज विरेन्द्र सहवाग, सौरव गांगुली और राहुल द्रविड़ में काफी क्रिकेट बाकि रह गया। समय से पहले ही स...

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...
