Sir

The Railway Budget has nothing different as usual, with gimmicks and special favours for home-State of the concerned Union Minister presenting the budget.

.
It has not touched practical hardships faced by commoners specially senior citizens when attendants are not allowed to receive them at platforms at many important stations, and are blackmailed by porters who charge enormous amount like rupees 100 per trip. Malpractices by other railway employees like begging for tips by catering staff or arranging reservation on ‘black’ through their contacts at Rail Bhawan are also not mentioned.

Every Railway Minister ignores such practical hardships for fear of annoyance of porters/ railway employees.

Amazing innings

Sir

Atrocious, the other name is Sachin's innings at Gwalior against the SA in the second ODI.  
Remarkably, excellent innings, played with fullest authority, perfection to the core and with ease. All bad deliveries touched the boundary ropes.  

Though, Sachin had produced many great innings, this one, not only for the World's highest individual score in a ODI, but also for it's absolute techniques, deserve total appreciation.  

Its true that this is an atrocious innings giving all the bowler the least respect for their bowling.

Sachin on song

Sir

The mere mention of the name Sachin conjures up visions of the magic willow for more than two decades with which he entertained the cricketing world by his  magic touch, tumbling records after records in the cricketing history .

And the manner in which he went after the bowling of Proteas in the second one day match, scoring a double hundred in the process exemplifies the commitment unexemplary; scoring, unstoppably plenty, all with a modesty becoming of such people as achieved greatness with out taint of arrogance.
