India's hockey jinx continues

Yesterday, Sandeep Singh, the Indian hockey player who's the only one in the entire team that can convert a penalty corner, was shot accidentally in a train by the security guard.

This has given rise to yet another outrageously silly situation in Indian hockey just days before the World Cup. Our ace drag-flicker is now out of the tournament, and we've had to turn to the likes of Jugraj Singh, who's still struggling to regain the flow he displayed before he suffered a debilitating car accident over 2 years ago.

Just goes to show the absolute lack of vision hickey administrators have.

Happy Independence Day(belated)

Well, I'm finally blogging after an outrageously long time. It's really irritating to update liferea(my feed reader) everyday only to find that yours is one of the blogs that have not been updated. This is mostly due to the rash of assignments and tests I've been having(not that I'm doing very well though).

Anyhow, to get down to today's topic, India turned 59 yesterday. It's a really proud moment for all Indians. It's also really important to remember the sacrifices of all those who have made this possible.

All in all, India seems to be in a very promising position. But it's still important that the fruits of development are distributed equitably. Otherwise, it won't be development in the real sense.
