I News India - Empowering Ideas!

Hey friends, I am creating this post for you people to wish a warm Best of Luck to the Team India. As you all are aware that 12 cricket playing nations India, Bangladesh, Ireland, Pakistan, England, Netherlands, Australia, Sri Lanka, West Indies, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sctland are going to fight for the World Cup in the Twenty 20 cricket format which is beginning today at England.

As you all are aware that Team India is the defending champions and other 11 countries are going to challenge them for the trophy. India is placed along with Bangladesh and Ireland in the Group A, while Pakistan, England and Netherlands are placed together in Group B. The most toughest group of the tournament is the Group C which contains Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies, while the Group D is containing New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland.

At the moment Team India is looking highly capable of retaining the Title. The team at the moment is a bunch of some highly talented youngsters along with some multi talented guys and captained by the Mr. Cool M. S. Dhoni. If you look at the top order then dashing opener Virender Sehwag is there with much talented Gautam Gambhir. This opening pair is the best of all the teams which are playing there. If you give an eye on the middle order then you can truly find India as the World Champions. Middle order of team India is having the firepower in the form of the King of Six Yuvraj Singh, most attacking batsman Suresh Raina, very dependable Rohit Sharma and the skipper himself. Along with them the team has the superb all rounders like Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja and Irfan Pathan. Now if you see the bowling attack then it too have the balance which is very much required for a World Champions team, the seam attack department is there in the hand of Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, highest wicket taker in the IPL 2009 Rudra Pratap Singh and much reliable Praveen Kumar, and then the spin attack is there in the hand of Harbhajan Singh and Pragyan Ojha. Remember the team has two batsman who can bowl brilliantly at crucial time, I am talking about Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma, Both has shown their talents in the IPL 2009 by taking the hat-trick in the tournament. Yuvraj Singh took 2 hat-tricks while Rohit Sharma took 1. Now if your team is having these type of players how can you assume them not to retain the trophy. Only thing which can damage the performance of the team India is the overconfidence, which they will have to take care of.

So friends, here is the space where you can wish the best of luck to your favorite Team India especially in your own style. You can post the comment here and this will show them how much you love them and how much you care about the world champions.

Immigration regulations of many of the major developed countries encourage qualified applicants to become permanent residents and permit them to permanently live and work in destined country with their families including spouse and dependent children. At a later stage, they also permit such permanent residents to become citizens.

Preferred Indian destinations include Immigration to USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Singapore and Denmark- amongst many others. India provides amongst the largest number of skilled general skills Immigrants and tradespersons, including Information technology (IT) and Engineering, healthcare, marketing and management professionals.

With so many countries offering Immigration and permanent resident visa to skilled professionals and executives, choosing the right immigration destination is a major challenge for those who are qualified. And helping them in making a right choice are Immigration consultants who assess their background, qualifications, language skills, age vis-à-vis immigration rules and regulations. After assessment, such consultants guide their clients through the entire process ending with issuance of visa and post settlement services in the destined countries.

While one man shows and agencies fill the information gap in smaller cities and towns, the majority of Immigrant application comes from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmadabad, Surat, Ludhiana, Chandigarh and Jullandhar. At a corporate level, by the years of service in existence, awareness, trained staff and support infrastructure two names stand out: ABHINAV AND WWICS.

Abhinav Outsourcings (www.abhinav.com), known popularly as ABHINAV is a boutique Immigration and visas consulting company and is servicing clients since 1994. With company run and managed offices in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore it is strategically located to service clients from major regional cities. ABHINAV has major international associations and alliances that ensure that clients get the desired and correct Immigration consulting and professional advice. The CEO of ABHINAV, Mr. Ajay Sharma is among the pioneer of Immigration consulting profession in India and was among the very first to start providing Permanent residency and visas consulting services in India. He has written – as an immigration and visa specialist- for almost all major Indian daily and financial newspapers. Though a busy CEO- his personal contacts are available to all his clients and that ensures immediate solution to a situation that cannot be resolved at the staff level.

Where ABHINAV stands out is its transparency and for the reputation it enjoys for not making wrong commitments. Also ABHINAV offers the complete bouquet of Immigration consulting services for almost all countries- Australia, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Denmark etc- that are inviting Immigrants. The shortcoming ABHINAV faces is that it does not have a network of operational offices that can offer the clients an advantage of one-to-one counselling. ABHINAV has made major investments in providing web marketing, on-line services and staff training. ABHINAV is also in the process of establishing a nationwide chain of franchising offices to achieve this objective. Company is known for its subdued pointed marketing and is known to do maximum business against referral marketing.

ABHINAV has a niche on marketing Immigrant Investor program for Canada and specialises in managing and guiding business and investor migrants. This category requires major expertise and knowledge skills as clients are high net worth seasoned businessmen. ABHINAV services are also preferred because the fee charged is reasonable and affordable.

WWICS, Worldwide Immigration consulting services (www.wwicsgroup.com)  is another corporate level Immigration consulting player in India. Also in business since early 1990’s, WWICS claims to have the largest network of offices in India. It also claims to be world’s biggest and largest immigration consulting company. The basis of this claim, however, is not known. The company is known for its aggressive marketing style and chain of international and domestic offices. On investigation, however, it has been found that many of the claimed offices – mentioned on the company website and especially in smaller cities – are actually not operational. WWICS is known to market work permit – for various markets and especially for Canada but figures are not available to prove the actual success in getting such promised work permits. WWICS region on strength is Punjab, where is has the corporate office. In cities outside of Punjab, the company has presence but services in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad get constrained due to highly demanding and educated clientele. It is learnt that company staff is driven by high incentive structure, creating a situation where impractical promises and commitment are made on regular and ongoing basis. Where the company stands out is the pro-active image of being a huge corporation engaged in Immigration consulting business. Though the fee charged by WWICS is almost double of what is charged by ABHINAV, the company still signs good business. And as they say, image is a key determinant in decision making process and nobody known aggressive marketing strategy better than WWICS and is known to do maximum business against new business.

To choose between these two main Immigration consulting companies in India is indeed a difficult choice for the prospective migrants. In the end, those looking for personalized one-to-one service expected of a boutique firm end up with ABHINAV and the ones looking for size and infrastructure end up being with WWICS.

If you too want to know the way how you can dismiss master blaster Sachin Tendulkar in a cricket match, then let me tell you the easiest way to give him out. It is quite ordinary to make him out in any match. Talk to the umpires and tell them to give the LBW decision against him, even if the ball was going out, up or anywhere.

This is becoming the trend of the dismissal of the master blaster in recent time. Every country in which he is touring with team India is making the plan against him in the same way. They ask the umpires to give him Leg before Out for a marginal possibility too.

I know it is not true, but we Indians are truly unhappy with the growing mistakes made by umpires against the master blaster. I don’t know if it is the pressure of any sort under which they give the decision against Sachin, but it is true that mostly he was given out on a ball which is either going to the leg side of the leg stump or going up from the bells or touched the bat first.

During the ongoing series against Sri Lanka Sachin got dismissed three times in the same way, in all the three One Day Internationals. The ball was either going out side the leg stump or going up to the stumps height but the decision was against him. Even in the second ODI Yuvraj Singh too faced the similar sort of decision although it was clear even from the naked eye that the ball hit his bat first and then touched his pad.

It is really unfortunate for any player to get the out decision while he was not. It is Sachin Tendulkar who got the maximum number of wrong outs. When he tours Australia then too he got the wrong dismissals and now in Sri Lanka too. The three consecutive wrong LBW decisions is telling that some type of conspiracy is behind all these. These types of decisions can eat the career of any new player, though it is Sachin Tendulkar so three consecutive dismissals for less than ten runs will not cost him much, but if there were some new player in place of him then he was sure to be out from the playing eleven in the next match.

I don’t know the stance of ICC on these issues but they are supposed to take actions against the culprits in the game of cricket but I never heard that they take any action against the umpires. Most of the spectators visit the stadium by purchasing costly tickets just to watch the batting of the giants like Sachin, Jayasuriya etc. but if they miss the inning by these players due to some human mistake then it is one sort of cheat with them. I would like to listen the comments of our readers on this issue.

One more senior player left the team at a time when team was facing criticism from all side. Anil Kumble, popularly known as Jumbo, the number one wicket tacker for Indian team in cricket history and number three till today, has announced the retirement from test cricket with immediate effect. He is not going to play in the fourth test match between India and Australia in Nagpur.

Kumble and Saurav Ganguly

In his absense Mahender Singh Dhoni, the ODI skipper of Team India will lead the team. The desicion of retirement came as a shock to the lovers of Kumble. He was facing criticism from all side due to his lack of performance in the on going Border Gavaskar Trophy.

Saurav Ganguly, one more former Indian skipper and great south-paw batsman has already announced his retirement from the cricket. Nagpur test is going to be his last appearence. The desicion of Kumble’s retirement was once again due to the pressure created by some sections of media on these senior players. It is true that new people are coming ahead with good performance, but still the way in which these senior players are forced to announce retirement is not good.

Dada, and then Kumble, both were served Indian team from last 15-20 years. There contribution to the team’s present status can never be justified by a few bad performances. But some section of media never allowed them to settle down. I am really feeling bad about the way in which these giants are saying bye to international cricket.

In his career, Kumble played in 132 test matches while he took 619 test wickets. He led the country in 14 test matches. He was behind Muralitharan (756) and Shane Warne (708), in case of number of test wickets is concerned.

The much awaiting first test match between India and Australia today ends with no result. The match will be remembered for the superb batting display by Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan. Once again sachin Tendulkar missed the record of Brian Lara.

Aussies won the toss and elected to bat first, they scored 430 runs in the first inning. Skipper Ponting made 123 runs while Hussey made 146 runs. Other than them Katich made 66, while Haddin made 33 runs. From Indian side Zaheer Khan took 5 wickets while Ishant Sharma took 4 wickets and Harbhajan Singh took one wicket.

Replying to this Team India got all out at 360 runs only, this way Aussies get a lead of 70 runs in the first inning. From Indian side the attraction was the superb half centuries by Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan, Bhajji made 54 while Zaheer made not out 57 runs. Other than them Dravid made 51, Ganguly made 47 while Sehwag made 45 runs. From Australia’s side Johnson took 4 wickets while Watson took 3 wickets and Clarke took 2 wicket. Brett Lee too took one wicket.

In second innings Aussies made 228 runs for the loss of 6 wickets, this increased their lead to 298. In their second inning Watson made 41 runs while Haddin made an unbeaten 35 runs. Ishant Sharma from Indian side took 3 wickets in this inning along with Bhajji taking 2 wickets and Zaheer Khan took one wicket.

So India got a target of 299 runs but they made only 177 runs at the loss of 4 wickets and this way match become draw. Sachin Tendulkar missed the half century by only one runs. The match will be remembered for the last match of Saurav Ganguly in Bangalore. He returned to the pavilion unbeaten and people gave them a good farwell too.

India is expected to secure its position in World top 10 richest place list by 2017 with its increasing number of millionaires. A report by banking giant Barclays revealed that emerging markets like India, China and Russia are fast catching up with the rich countries in terms of their wealth and India is projected to be in the 8th position among the world’s top 10 wealth centers in coming decade.

“Over the coming decade, the gap in wealth between the world’s most developed countries and the leading emerging markets will continue to narrow with many new millionaires being created in India, China, Russia and other countries which are undergoing rapid development,” says Barclays Wealth Report.

Barclays told that the four emerging markets - India, China, Brazil and Russia will house so many millionaires in the coming decade and will replace the more developed economies such as Australia, South Korea and Portugal from the list and the markets will no more be categorized as emerging markets.

In India, there would be 4, 11,000 households with wealth in excess of USD 1 million by 2017. The numbers of mass affluent, with wealth over $500,000, is expected to rise from a negligible figure in 2007 to 1.9 million by 2017, the report said.

The country’s financial assets stood at $1.8 trillion in 2006, more than double its GDP, a higher ratio than that in Latin America, Eastern Europe or Russia, it added.

Where the second fastest growing economy India is expected to come at position eight in the top 10 wealth centers, China is likely to move up to third rank from its present seventh place. Russia can move from 19th to 11th position while Brazil can swing to 12th from 15th.

Other developed countries are falling from their position. Australia’s ranking fell from 10th to 16th, while South Korea dipped to 12th from 15th and Portugal came down to 34th from 25th.

In 2007, G7 countries- Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US, contained more than one million millionaire households. By 2017, there would be 12 countries with one million USD millionaire households, the report said.

“In long-term, India’s economic prospects look rosy, although there remain obstacles to growth, including poor infrastructure, trade barriers and a shortage of skilled labor” Barclays added.

India’s Tennis sensation Sania Mirza would undergo her right wrist’s surgery in Miami on Thursday. The operation will put her at rest for at least four long weeks.

There is some trouble in her right hand wrist. Inflammation is noted in her wrist which forced her to pull out of the Sony Erricson Open last month.

“A recent MRI showed contusion of her lunate bone with some inflammation and a suspected tear in the volar capsule. She is undergoing arthroscopy to repair the capsule and to clean out debris formed from chronic inflammation,” a Globosport press release said.

Renowned hand specialist Dr Badia will perform the surgery.

Sania had already arrived in the United States on Tuesday with her mother and physiotherapist Renuka Pinto.

Earlier she had undergone knee surgery in March 2007.

On one hand India is piling up a huge score in the third day of the first cricket test match against South Africa under the leadership of veteran and smashing opener Virender Sehwag, and on other hand Warne has decided to quit all first class cricket.

Shane Warne has announced his retirement on Thursday from first class cricket and will no longer play for Hampshire.

“I am retiring from all first class cricket but will participate in the IPL (Indian Premier League) with the Jaipur franchise as captain and coach,” the great Australian leg spin bowler told the Hampshire web site (www.rosebowlplc.com).

He was going to play for Hampshire again this season but the English county club’s chairman, Rod Bransgrove, said the two parties had mutually agreed to a parting of the ways.

“I know this will be a major disappointment to many fans of both Hampshire and Shane but, after much discussion and soul-searching, it has become clear to both of us that Shane can no longer make the commitment required to continue to lead Hampshire,” he said.

“Hampshire Cricket has been hugely privileged to have enjoyed the unstinting loyalty of this living legend since 2000. The most effective and entertaining bowler of all time, Shane Warne was also a brilliant leader and strategist.”

Warne added: “This was not an easy decision to make but due to some exciting business opportunities, and wanting to spend more time with my children, I had to make this call”

Warne took 708 wickets in 145 Tests of his career since 1992.
