For how long this Sports ERA will last?

Here are some of the highlights of Indian sports which will definitely bring smile to some of the Indian sports fans:

1. Winning Test Cricket Series In England..21 years after Kapil and team had done it.

2. A Major Win - Nehru Cup in Soccer - Perhaps after 2 decades..a major trophy in soccer

3. Blanking out South Korea in Men's Field Hockey to Win the ASIA CUP

4. Nice Performance by Sania Mirja throughout the year...to stay in top 30

5. Rupesh Shah and Pankaj Advani....The WORLD CHAMPIONS in Time and Points Format in Billiards.

6. India wins the World T20I championship.

7. Vishwanathan Anand became the World Champion.

Definitely this is a matter for which each Indian's can feel proud of. The sports results have been very pleasing and consistent since April 2007.

But the big question that is bugging is "For How Long This Winning Streak Will Continue".
I can see the downfall before writing this blog, such as:

1) Sania is out of Japan open.

2) India again on loosing track in limited over match against World Champions of that category.

Hope the others will not let India down.

Thinking technically..

Almost 1,750,000 years ago a bridge (Rama's Bridge) was built between India (Rameshwaram) and Lanka (know as Sri Lanka in modern age). Forget the epic "Ramayana" and just think about of those people who were the architect of this bridge who can make a bridge, chain of shoals, of 18 mi (30 km) long, in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka।

It can be easily concluded that how strong the architecture of that age was. In this modern technology age where we have several modern equipments available we cannot even think of making such type of bridges.

Now it's a question worth million dollar that where did such a intense thinking about architecture design gone? I think that, technology should improve as the time passes and we should be able to make better architectures. Now if we see that Rama's bridge was made 1,750,000 years ago, so after 1,750,000 we should be able to at least make a bridge on say Pacific Ocean. But that is not the case.

Also if we consider this epic (Ramayana) true (on the grounds of Rama's Bridge) then in Ramayana, there was a aerial car (known as Pushpak Viman) that travels with the speed of mind and it was able to grow large and small at a wish. Now in this modern age we are able to make aerial car but still it cannot fly with the speed of mind, so we are lacking in technology compared to that age's technology.

At this point my only question is "where has all that technological thinking gone?"

Critics Section (not too critical though)

Bathing
I heard someone in my neighbourhood saying why to waste gallons of water, several minutes from life and dollars for soap just to take bath. What purpose is it going to solve? Can't a man live without taking bath.
Thanks a lot my dear neighbour, you are the most intelligent creature on this planet who thinks about saving resources to this extent. I appreciate your thinking.
But the person standing next to you will not think the same way as I am. Either he will kill you to death or will be killed to death by you because of you stink.
I believe "A fresh body has a fresh mind". If your body is not clean and is stinking then I am sure your mind is too as dirty as your body.
So its better to use (not waste) some natural resources.

Physical Beauty
My close friend told me once that she is looking very ugly today, better I don't see her that day. I felt how a person can look beautiful one day and ugly the other day.
It was not the day on which she was looking ugly to herself, it was the mood by which she was looking herself that day. She might not be in very good mood that day so her physical appearence was also affected.
Well said: "sundarta to dekhne wale ki najron mein hoti hai" (beauty lies in the eyes of spectator).
