After Lizzat, here is another example why a team succeeds

Often, we are so engrossed in individual success that we forget to realize that there is tremendous strength in working together as a team. The cooperative movement has had some major successes including Amul and Lizzat (of Amul Cheese and Lizzat Papad fame).

Here is another great example of why cooperative movement is a success.
Milk is the way to dignity

It was also great to note that the Nobel Price went to Grameen Bank founder in Bangladesh.

Well, the poor, downtrodden and hopeless people will always find help in a democracy. Don't they?

Ganguly is back in Team India

Well, it is time for Sourav Ganguly to strengthen the Indian Cricket Team atleast in the test arena. Sourav is known for his guts and grittiness. He leads the team from the front (at least he got us till the WC finals in South Africa - wait, that was on flat pitches). There is no point in looking at the current series with SA. The bigger question is to be concerned about the World Cup in West Indies.

Here is a nice review of the whole situation.
Sourav’s back, what about cricket?

When the players are so over worked and loaded with money via endorsements, there is no need for the country to be too hopeful for the WC. Let the players atleast get to bat 50 overs (forget the total they will post in an inning).

There are countless prominent Scientists (including Engineers, Doctors, Physicists, Researchers) who are finding it difficult to immigrate into the US. This is because the 109th Congress did not clear any legislation related to immigration.

There is a need for everyone to push their lawmakers to make immigration for skilled workers easy.
