Men in Blue – A Total Whitewash

The Test series between the World Cup Champions, India & England ended today with a magnificent win of 4-0 for England. I am sure not even the English fans had hoped for such a win. England played exceptionally well and they rightfully deserve the number one spot in the ICC Test Rankings.

The Medium of Instruction in Goan Schools

Dev boro dis dium. Well, it’s Konkani. And I am sure this is the right way of speaking it. I have studied in English medium school and I speak English fluently. But, I also speak Konkani. Though I have not mastered the language, I do know how to communicate with fellow Goans in Konkani.

Konkani always remains alive in a Goan no matter how fluently English is spoken. But recently, we have encountered unwanted issues over selection of a language as the medium of instruction in the different Goan schools. Some parents & politicians have been focusing on Konkani as the main language to be adopted from the primary level onwards. I have just one question: Are we prepared to develop backwards?

World Cup 2011- Who benefits?

28 years is very a long time. And after the long wait, the ‘Men in Blue’ have done it. They have won the World Cup 2011. Finally, Sachin Tendulkar has fulfilled his dream of having a World Cup win in his kitty. He has scored the highest number of runs in the tournament. The world is now eagerly awaiting his 100^th century in One Day Internationals.

India is at the top of the world and I am proud to be an Indian.
