One man team?

-
Today disastrous defeat in the hands of a very immature Sri Lanka team should work as a eye-opener for team India! Sri Lanka played well from the very first ball. And India's performance, well what should I say?

The batting order collapsed like the 'tin-filled' walls in Taiwan! Okay I understand the comparison was pathetic. But didn't our team play really ... bad?

Is the team slowly starting to become a 'One-Man Team' again? Previously if Sachin Tendulkar didn't play well, India would lose. And now that 'one-man' being Virat Kohli??

Why the likes of Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, S Dhawan, A Rahane, etc. not able to 'de-ghumake'?? So much talent in the team and still losing match after match.

No, I haven't forgotten the Australia series. But let's get some facts. Team needs to buckle up. World cup is lost. We have to keep the T20 World Cup at least. All the best team.

Hindi - the National Language of India?

-
Yeah I know, I have taken to writing again after a very long time. But here is an important issue on hand and I just could not stop myself from blogging on this! Hindi - is this the national language of India? Well, in short the answer is No. Let me tell you the story behind this. Till 1965, Articles 343 and 345 of the Constitution of India specified that the official language of India to be Hindi in Devanagari script, though states of India were free to adopt one or more local languages for all or any of the official purposes of that state. Pursuant to agitations particularly in South India in the 60s, today 22 languages carry official status and Government documents can be in any of the 22 recognized official languages. This has been clarified by court rulings as well, most recently in 2010 Gujarat High Court affirming equal role to all 22 languages.India is a Common law country---therefore, unless overturned by the legislature or a higher court explicitly, the ruling in 2010

Axomia or Assamese as we are popularly know as in English! Axom has a very rich culture. Not many people outside the state are aware of the beauty and culture of this pragmatic section of people. Here I mention some distinctive terms associated with Asom and Axomia people, in general! Bihu - "Otikoi Senehor Mugare Mekhela, Otikoi Senehor Maku, Tatukoi Senehor Rongali Bihuti, Napaati Kenekoi Thaku" No doubts when we hear the word Bihu, only Asom comes to our minds. Bihu is like one of the trademarks of Asom. Bihu is the main festival of Asom. We have mainly three bihus - the kati or kongali bihu, the Magh or bhogali bihu and the very festive, Bohag or Rongali bihu! Even the very beautiful dance of Asom is referred to as the Bihu dance. And, we all know how much we love it! Saah - Tea or saah as locally know is the most preferred drink in Asom. Yes, why not? We have the largest tea plantation in India! This inherently gives India the status of being the secon
