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.

The big question of the moment is about the performance of the Indian cricket team in the upcoming Twenty 20 World Championship. It is a well known fact that India is the winner team of the 2007 Twenty 20 world cup, and they are looking as the most eligible contender for the 2009 title at the moment.

I am the biggest fan of the Indian cricket team, but still I have a doubt. I am feeling that there is something which this present team is missing. My doubt is getting more strength after seeing the defeat of the Indian team in the practice match against New Zealand. This practice match was played between India and New Zealand at Lord’s, London, on tomorrow 1st of June 2009.

Team India won the toss in the match and asked Kiwis to bat first, with the help of some brilliant knock by McCullum and Taylor Kiwis made 170 runs for 7 wickets in the 20 overs. Although the first wicket partnership between Gambhir and Rohit Sharma was of 42 runs that too in only 5 overs, but once Gambhir became out, wickets of Team India fell regularly and then despite the briliiant knock of 45 by Raina and unbeaten 41 by Ravindra Jadeja, Team india fell short of 9 runs.

Although it was a practice match and the power hitter like yuvraj Singh did not bat in the match, also India gave rest to the dashing opener Virendra Sehwag, still the defeat is causing concern in the mind of the followers. It is also true that Team India will not face many problem in going to the next round as they are in a safe group. Indian team has got the place in Group A along with the weak teams like Bangladesh and Ireland, so they won’t have to worry so much, but this format of cricket is very unpredictable and Bangladesh is a team which has a few times defeated us at a crucial moment.

Another matter of concern for me is the sideeffects of Indian Premiere League. Many international players like Rickey Ponting ignored IPL, but almost all Indian players from the present team were a part of around a month long tournament. Hence, almost all of them are feeling tired. Another big concern is the injury of Zaheer Khan, which is again the outcome of the IPL. Although Indian skipper MS Dhoni is saying that these issues are not going to affect the performance of the Indian team, and even Sachin Tendulkar is having the feeling that India will retain the championship.

So let’s wait and watch how Team India is going to fair in the Twenty 20 World Cup 2009.

We often see our country always lacking behind in the global scenario due to its enormous social evils like illiteracy, poverty and unemployment. But there is a positive side to our country as well, and that is the finance sector. Probably the only reason that India is still a lot more immune to the recession than its counterparts is because of the Indian people to save and invest for the future, whereas the other country’s people believe in earning and spending on the spot.

Investing is one habit which has made the Indian investors with the most optimistic attitude in Asia and has increased the region’s over all investor sentiment in the first quarter of this year, as reported by a recent survey. As compared to the last year, the survey showed 75% increase in the investor sentiment in India in the first quarter of the year, and that too when the global economy is on a meltdown. This certainly indicates that the Indian investors have faith in the economy.

China has also emerged as equally optimistic counterpart of India and both of them together have driven the investor sentiment to a strong upswing in the first quarter of the year. Just another proof of how much the investors in India are confident, the survey also showed that the investors were most confident about their job security, with almost 64% having the surety that the current economic scenario has no impact on their job security. Also almost 53% people were hopeful that their household financial situation would improve in the next quarter. And 65% of investors were most optimistic among other countries in Asia about the impact of government policy on investment in the second quarter of the year.

Well, given the stunning statistics provided by the survey it certainly proves that the Indian investors are the most optimistic among the other country’s investors.

Last year my favorite team was Kolkata Knight Riders, though the team did not played well enough to reach to the semifinal stage but till the last match I supported the team. Although I liked the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils too but none of them reached to the finals of the IPL session one last year.

Many people were asking me the favorite team for this session, so I thought to post my choice. As expected it was Kolkata Knight Riders till two days back, but the removal of Saurav Ganguly as the skipper of the team caused my heart break and I decided to not follow the team matches now. I strongly believe that Saurav Ganguly was the best ever player from Kolkata so far, and he should be the skipper of any team which is basically developed in the name of Kolkata. It is one sort of insult for Dada, and I would not support the team now.

This session I have also decided that I am not going to support the matches in which Harbhajan Singh and Mahender Singh Dhoni were playing. It is because that these two players were my favorite players, but a few days’ back they insulted the nation, by skipping the Padma Shri award function, which is the most prestigious award for the civilians of India. This clearly indicates that these people are now an image which is bigger than their country, which I never appreciate, although I know I am no one to put finger on these celebrities, they are such a big guys that they would not be affected from such type of opposes, but, still I think I should oppose them. I love my country India and I will never support the people who will do any thing to insult my nation, so I am here by announcing that I will not support the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians any way in the matches from now on.

I think that Mr. Dhoni is now thinking that no one will ever replace him from the captaincy of Team India, but friend you never know when you are out from the frame. People love you because you have served the nation, but if you are going to insult the nation no one is going to love you then. Same for Mr. Bhajji too, we still remember the face of Bhajji after the slap incident (with Shreesanth during last session) and when BCCI was suppose to ban him forever.

Any ways, I do like the Mumbai Indians team because of the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, who was not only the icon but he is the greatest son of India. MS Dhoni and Harbhajan should at least take a few lesson from him, he has never missed any such type of award function despite the busy schedule. Any ways leave the issue now, so the three teams are out of my mind and they are KKR, MI, and CSK. Now coming to the fourth team which is for sure not suppose to get my support, and that is Rajasthan Royals, the defending champions.

I have mentioned the reasons against them in the last article: The Best Example of Globalization. Now out of the remaining four team Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils, Bangalore Royal Challengers, and Deccan Chargers, I don’t have any reason to support the last two depending on the performance in the last session. So for me only two options are left, one of them is Kings XI Punjab. I like the team but I am not the supporter of this team.

So this year I am going to support the Delhi Daredevils, the reason behind this is the form of the dashing openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. Other then them I too like Amit Mishra, Ashish Nehra, Manoj Tiwary, Farvej Maharoof, McGrath and Dilshan. So for this session my favorite team for IPL 2 is Delhi Daredevils.

These days money has become the most powerful factor through out the world. I was really shocked to see that one small game Cricket is going to establish a new example, a new trend which includes the combination of sport ship along with the power of money and glamor. This is for sure the best example of globalization.

I was surprised to see the immense popularity which Indian Premier League, the organization of the T20 cricket matches, by the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI), got during last season. This year, IPL 2 has crossed the boundaries of nation, and now it is all set to develop a new example of globalization.

A tournament which was originally developed for India is now shifted to South Africa (for the reason of General Elections in India). The tournament which was mainly claimed by the organizers that it will provide the platform for the Indian players has now totally shifted to the hands of the players who don’t belong to India. Here are a few examples:

The captaincy of the Kolkata Knight Riders has taken from the Icon Player of team Saurav Ganguly and given to the dashing Kiwi player McCullum. As far as the point of view of the team is concerned, they are free to take any decision in the favor of their team, but I think the idea of dropping Ganguly as the skipper, or the idea of four skippers in a match, which was in air a few days back, are all silly, as without Ganguly there is no identity of the team. As far as my views are concerned, I think Dada should come back to India. People from Bengal are really hurt from this issue and we don’t know why Dada is still there in the team. He is undoubtedly the best ever player of the Kolkata and the team which is representing the City of Joy should for sure include him as the skipper.

The second example is the exit of Mohhamad Kaif and a few more players (all Indian) from the Rajasthan Royals team. The reason behind is still not clear to any one, some one claims it is because of a rift between the skipper and coach Shane Warne and Kaif, some says it is because of an attempt to cut the cost of the team. If the first reason is true then too my views is that the team management require interfering in the matter and solving the matter. If the second reason is true then why they did not remove any player who was not Indian?

These examples are a few examples which are a clear indication that Indian Premiere League is not the Indian League any more. For last season at least it looked like an Indian league whether it is because of the Indian Players in the decision making slot, or whether it was played in the presence of the cricket crazy Indian fans, but this time I am not sure if it can generate the same type of attraction among the Indian people.

I still remember the days when the first session of Indian Premier League was going on, after the evening not many people are looking outside their home. Everybody was just sitting in front of their TV screen and was watching the match. No one was looking interested to do any work except cheering for his or her favorite team.

The TRP of the SET MAX the official broadcaster of the tournament increased within very first week of the tournament and remain at the highest level throughout the tournament. Max was looking keen to gain the same TRP once again during the second version of the smaller format of the cricket match. As we are well aware that Indian Premier League, which is popularly known as IPL, is organized by the Indian cricket board BCCI. It is a tournament of twenty 2o cricket matches.

A few days back lots of drama evolved around the organization of the second version of the IPL, which is going to be known as IPL 2. The actual problem was the dates which were colliding with the general by elections in India, and thus Indian Government was not so much interested to take the risk. After the Mumbai attack government was not really looking to provide any opportunity to the terrorists. So lots of arguments came in and against the organization of the IPL 2 and finally the organizing body decided to take away the organization from India to some neutral locations.

After much consideration between England and South Africa for the possible location to host IPL 2, BCCI decided to organize the IPL 2 in South Africa. The detailed schedule of the IPL 2 is given below:

With the World Cup of Twenty20 is scheduled after the IPL 2, so it will definitely provide a good platform for practice to our players, as we know that we are the world champions. So hopefully at the end of this IPL 2 we can be able to provide much match practices to the players for the Team India for T20 World Cup.

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.

Do you remember the 11th September 2001? I don’t think that any one will tell NO for this question. Around 3000 people lost their life on that particular day in United States. The terror attack was performed by around 19 terrorists.

Second date was 26th November 2008. This time it was Mumbai, 10 people killed around 200 people and hijacked the financial capital of India for around three days.

You would ask me why I am discussing these dates. The prime reason was the incident which happened today in Lahore. A few people attacked the bus of the Sri Lankan team, in which around six players got minor injuries while one assistant coach and one umpire got injuries too. Around 5 or 7 security guards too lost the life in the attack.

Today was the black day for the Cricket, as this attack might have cost the career of these players like Ajantha Mendis, who is a quality spin bowler, and he got the bullet injury on his right hand from which he bowl. Other than Mendis, skipper Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sanggakkara, Chaminda Vaas, Thilan Samaraweera and Tharanga Paranavitana. Paul Farbrace who is the assistant coach of the Sri Lankan team also got injury along with the umpire Ahsan Raza.

It was not a simple incident, while it was a plan through which a few people would be planning to put pressure on two countries. They were thinking of either killing the players of Sri Lanka or hijacking them and then compelling the Pakistan and Sri Lanka government with their demands.

I don’t know why a few people dominate over the majority of people? Why a few people play the blood game and we are compelled to live our life with fear? Whether it is India, US, UK, Pakistan or Australia, everywhere lives of common people are not at all safe. Any bomb can take their live at any moment, or any bullet can injure him at any time. Who is going to save our life?

A few more matter of concern of the day was when a few terrorists attacked the bus of the Sri Lankan team, in between the city, and then they went off so easily. The place of incident was quite near to the Police Station; still terrorists eloped from the scene with easiness. The route of the Sri Lankan team bus was changed today, still the terrorists has the information about the route.

International community is really looking Pakistan with suspicious eyes. We hope that Pakistan will give strong reply against all these queries and will also take some strong action against the terrorists who are operating from their country.

Nothing went in the favor of the Indian Team and they failed to capitalize the superb start given by Virender Sehwag. Team India first lost the toss and forced to bat on the moisture pitch. Although Indian skipper Dhoni insisted that he was looking for batting first, because it was the strength of the Indian team.

So India started the innings with Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. They two provided the superb start for the team. Sehwag hit 3 sixes in three consecutive balls which he faced. They scored 19 runs in the very first over, which was a record for any team in Twenty 20 Internationals. But suddenly Team India lost the wicket of Gauti at the last ball of second over. It was a blow to the Indian team by O’Brian.

Raina joined the ground with Sehwag, and we thought that this pair will build up a bit of partnership, but O’Brian provided the much awaited break through to the Kiwis, in the form of the wicket of Virender Sehwag. He dismissed Sehwag in the very first ball of the fourth over. Then in the sixth over Rohit Sharma departs in the ball of Butler. Following them Yuvraj and skipper Dhoni the two powerful striker of Indian team fell cheaply and this brought Team India to a total of 61 for the loss of 5 wickets in 7.5 Overs.

After them it was Yusuf Pathan who hit 3 consecutive six in the ball of McCullam but Oram took his brilliant catch at the boundaries and this caused the sixth wicket fell of India. Irfan Pathan too fell cheaply while the score was 101 in 13.3 over’s.

It was the turn of Bhajji and Raina then and they brought India to a respectable total of 162 for the loss of 8 wickets. Harbhajan Singh became out on the last ball of the inning.

Kiwis too started badly and only 2 runs was scored by them in the very first over of Zaheer, in which there was one wide too. Then in the first ball of the second over Ishant Sharma dismissed Ryder, the dangerous opener of New Zealand. Thus Kiwis score reached to 2 runs for the loss of one wicket.

Guptill was the man who bring India to the back foot and he made a quick 41 runs in just 28 balls, he hit 4 boundaries and 3 six. He fell at the score of 56 in 6.4 over’s. He was dismissed by Bhajji in his very first over. After this Taylor made a fantastic 31 runs in 28 balls, in which he made one boundary and 3 six. He fell at the score of 106, in 13.2 over’s. It was the last moment of joy for the team India. Taylor was dismissed by Zaheer Khan, the main strike bowler of Team India. He did the splendid job but then he was not able to take any more wickets.

Finally it was McCullam and Oram who wrapped up the match with 7 balls left. Kiwis defeated the World Champions by 7 wickets but still Team India has a chance to level the series, the second match is scheduled on 27th February.

We are waiting for a victory in New Zealand from last 41 years, every time whenever Team India visited New Zealand they faced the defeat. Can the Dhoni brigade be able to make history this time?

Tons of expectations are following the current Indian team, but as the conditions in New Zealand is not at all favorable to the teams of the subcontinent. The bouncy pitch and fast wind all these things are against the subcontinent batsman, as they have practiced on a slow pitch and they are having the history of failure on bouncy pitch.

So the Team India under the captanicy of Mahender Singh Dhoni can be able to tackle the fast balls and bouncy pitch. One of the most eagerly awaited cricket series in New Zealand over the last few seasons gets underway tomorrow with the first of two Twenty20 internationals.

The second Twenty20 is scheduled on 27th February. Then there are five One Day Internationals between the two country. After the ODI series three test matches are also scheduled between the two countries. When last time Team India visited New Zealand, Kiwis defeated India in both the format of the game.

This time Team India is with some of the great in form players like Sehwag, Gambhir, Raina, Yuvraj, and the skipper Dhoni himself. In bowling department too India is having Zaheer, Ishant, and Harbhajan, and this is the second half of the summer - which is generally warmer and relatively free of rain, so the conditions can favor Team India a bit too.

So the war is beginning from tomorrow and you can check the Latest Cricket News and live Cricket Updates from these sites.
