Right To Die...

I never knew this before..I believe there is right to information but i never knew that there is a right to die...It was shocking for me to see a elderly couple were assisted few days back in Switzerland to die. It is against the law in many countries but some countries do follow it in circumstances..

One of the most respected conductor of Britain, Sir EdwardDownes and his wife Joan were assisted to die in Switzerland. He was 85, almost blind and increasingly deaf, his wife 74 who was suffering from terminal cancer of liver and pancreas decided to end thier life after living 54 years together. it was getting very tough for them to live as they couldnt handle thier pain. persoanlly i feel they had choosen to die in a civilised way rather than dying with pain every sigle minute..

This word 'Euthanasia' refers to an act to die in a painless manner with someone other than the patient helping them to die.Any person who assists suicide faces charge of 11 years in England. Many people in this world are struggling with dreadful diseases like cancer, Aids and list goes on, where there is no treatment...Every diseased know that they will be dying soon and still struggling with pain every single day till death..Do you think our government should help such people in assisted suicide, where people just drink a liquid and die happily for once.

Many people from England visit Switzerland to opt for Euthanasia as it is legal in that country.

I request all the countries to rethink on this issue and make it legal to help them die in a civilized way...

IS IT TIME TO THINK BEYOND CRICKET AND BOLLYWOOD???

I was just watching an historic match between Switzerland player Roger Federer and American Andy Roddick on the final match of Wimbledon. Federer won His 15^th Grand slam title beating Pete Sampras record of 14 and has become the only player in the world to hold those. The last set was longest ever played in the men’s singles history as it was not easy for him to make it..

There is saying which I see every day while travelling in the train which goes like this “Winning always comes at a price but success is only when it’s worth it”. This made me seriously think about his struggle to win his Grand slams. I felt bad when Sania Mirza was knocked out in the first rounds and left an image could an Indian ever win a Grand slam. Do we expect more from the struggling Sania or do we need to expect any other Indian in the picture??????????

As per July 2009, It is expected that Indian population is 1.19 billion and India is hardly known in the world sport today, keeping Cricket aside. In Last year’s Beijing Olympics, India has just won 1Gold and 2 Bronze medals while our neighbour China has won 100 medals and USA 110 medals. Is it Time for Indian government to learn seriously from Chinese hard work in winning medals rather than planning to ban importing Chinese dairy products, while Chinese government has retaliated by saying that it is going to ban all the exports to India in return.

I personally feel that we need to have a tracking system which shows the money invested in sports infrastructure. How effectively is the money used? May be all the Educational Institutions in India should make sport as a compulsory sports module, where student can choose their own sport (should definitely pass out with 80% of marks).

Everyone was very happy with the success of the movie “Slum dog Millionaire” but somewhere i felt the credit doesn’t belong to India. It is not an Indian movie as it was a made by a British Director Danny Boyle about Indian slums but one should definitely credit A. R Rehmans music. This movie has definitely sent a wrong note to the world about India. People around remember India, through this movie. I remember my mate from Portugal asking me a question “Do you live in a hut in India”, “does every one live in a hut out there”. I didn’t even feel like explaining to him...

India’s technical education is strong that, half of the UK’s doctors and IT consultants are Indians who work for long hours when compared to their citizens and that is true!!!! So, why should India which has got enormous talent should lack in World sports??????

What say??????????????
