If there is any game which has an obsessive mass following in India, it is cricket. Introduced by the British in India as a hobby in their spare time, India's towering position and passion for the game is a well-known fact. India has been hosting a number of zealous players of the game and Kapil Dev's name is on the top of the list.

This season there has been less rainfall. It was the month of August—almost the fag end of the season. The school was functioning after the summer vacation. It was still quite hot. There was a change. Hot wind gave way to welcome breeze. It was an indication that rains were round the corner. One fine morning, I set out for school. The sky was quiter clear then. Soon moving grey clouds covered the sky. I felt alarmed. I hid my bag and ran fast. I had hardly covered a short distance, when drizzling started—it changed into a good shower. It was welcomed by all. I took shelter under a big tree that gave me little protection as the leaves dripped. As the rain lessened, I ran towards the school. Luckily I was in time. The bell just rang. But there were few students. Some teachers had turned up by then. more...

It’s   could be fierce. It can cause great loss to forests when wild more...

A man of sound education with strong principles, he succeeded Jawaharlal Nehru as the Prime Minister of India in 1964- Though eclipsed by stalwarts in the Congress tike Kamraj and Morarji Desai (then Finance Minister in Nehru's Government), Shastri emerged as the consensus candidate in the midst of party warfare> He had not been in power for long when he had to attend to the difficult matter of Pakistani aggression along the Ranch of Kutch, Though a ceasefire under the auspices of the United Nations put a temporary halt to the fighting, the scene of conflict more...

"The other day I dreamed that the gates of heaver... and St. Peter said, 'Go back to Earth, there are no slums up here'.
