Face Book and Twitter Dominate the Social NetWorking Sites

Among the social net working sites, Face Book and Twitter dominate and they have virtually become the part of our social life, even interfering with our personal life.If you are a regular visitor of twitter, you can observe meaningless tweets (perhaps meaningful to somebody?) like, 'Sorry I couldn't meet you last night','I am going to bed' and so on.On the pretext of social networking, face book even permits third parties( friends?) to write on your wall.Sometimes you may come across a number of babble of tongues that may be rejected as not eligible for publication by the paid to write web sites. Besides,in face book we often come across some features that may appear interesting but when you analyze their impact on the user, they are generally false,useless or utterly nonsense and indirectly harmful to the society:- 1.Women more frequently change their profile pictures than men. 2.Photos of women, whether they are looking nice or not, receive more likes than men, perhaps in the ratio of 20 : 1 and even more in some cases. 3.Though primarily meant for promoting friendship, face book also indirectly promotes dissension among spouses.In fact, on the slightest pretext of some quarrels or difference of opinions, couples make up their mind to part their ways, change their profile in the face book as if they are single and unmarried. 4.Of late, Face book, the social net working site is rapidly changing into a dating site providing opportunities in aplenty. 5.Face Book as a social net working site is indirectly playing a vital role in the degeneration of the society. These are just reminders and eye openers for the upcoming generation.

Kevin Peterson Called it a Day from all forms of Cricket

Kevin Peterson,the South-African born batsman of England surprised the cricketing world by announcing his retirement from all forms of the game.Though he quit from ODIs and T20s, he was willing and available to play longer version of the game.He was just 31+. The England T20 captain was surprised by the sudden announcement made by Kevin Peterson that too when England had to defend its T20 world champion title was just four months away.Of course, England would not forget that Kevin Peterson was man of the tournament in the previous T20 tournament and they had every reason to have Kevin in their team to defend their title in the next tournament. However, unlike many other modern cricketers, Peterson was very frank to admit that the scheduling of the modern shorter versions of the game was so taxing and laborious.Besides he also admitted that he quit the game paving the way for upcoming players to have their place in the England team for the 2015 world cup. No doubt Kevin Peterson was such a fine player and he was the most favorite player of West Indian great Brian Lara.He was such a dominating and dynamic cricketer.Recently, his contribution to Delhi Devils in the early rounds of just concluded IPL5 was commendable.Unfortunately, he was not available in the last rounds of IPL 5 series.Otherwise,Delhi Dare Devils would not have lost its play off matches and the story of IPL5 would also have been different. Who can forget that Kevin Peterson was instrumental in winning the Ashes series for England in 2005 defeating the then invincible Australia? In any event we must respect his decision to quit the shorter versions of the game.However, we can have a sigh of relief that cricket fans can still view his dynamic innings in test cricket.Thanks to Kevin Peterson!

A Reminder to Your Dental Care.

Though I may not have the expertise of a dentist,what I want to share with you will be definitely useful in taking care of your teeth and thereby your health.It is the true story or rather I can say the actual life experience of my close friend.He was my schoolmate and my bosom friend.We are now in different tracks of our life. While I am an agriculturist, he is a software engineer.Both of us are married and in our 40s.While I am hale and healthy, my friend is not.It is because of his dental health. During our childhood days we took care of our teeth, brushed them regularly, cleaned and checked up them periodically.However, I had no any difficulty in maintaining my healthy teeth.But my friend had a very very bad habit that affected his teeth severely. If I reveal it,you may even find it difficult to digest.From his childhood days, after finishing his breakfast, dinner or supper,he used to ruminate just like a cow.Whenever I noticed it during my childhood days,I immediately pointed out and requested him to give up the habit of rumination.But he became addicted to the habit of rumination.When he grew up, he realized what he was doing was beastly.However, he could not give up that habit.Instead of doing it openly as he did in his childhood days, he used to do it rather secretly.In the result, his teeth were damaged in his 20s.The reason was since he was ruminating throughout the day,the inner sides of his teeth had heavy deposits requiring frequent cleaning and medical check up.However,being highly educated (then he was doing engineering and then masters in engineering too), he felt rather shy to go for a dental check up.But his addiction to rumination continued. Though by virtue of his educational qualifications he was well placed, within a few years of joining service, he had developed serious dental ailments like erosion of his gums and falling of his teeth etc.Despite consulting highly qualified dental surgeons,it was too late.By that time he had lost almost half of his teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Now my friend's face got a different shape; he could not fluently speak with his boss or his subordinates;Recently I met him at Chennai.All his teeth in the lower jaw were removed and in the upper jaw he had only a few teeth.He had great difficulty in chewing his food.Hence he had only a few morsels of food.Now he had become so thin and his pleasing personality had gone once and for all.When I met him in such a condition, I was rudely shocked.He could not even speak with me freely.At the most what I could do was to feel sorry for my friend. Now my friend was thinking of getting advanced dental treatment like tooth plantation to regain his teeth and personality.But how far he would succeed in his attempts I don't know. Therefore, please always keep your teeth clean so as to remain hale and healthy and to keep up your personality.

Cricket:India won the first ODI in a thrilling finish

Cricket : India won the First One Day International in a thrilling finish!

myLot User Profile

It was an unbelievable and a spirited run chase made by Sri Lanka, but it stumbled and faltered at the end. India had the last laugh and won the first one day international cricket match played at Rajkot in Gujarat, in a thrilling finish by a margin of three runs. India leads the ODI series 1-0.

Having won the toss, Sri Lanka elected to field. India scored a mammoth total of 414/7 when it batted first. Thanks to the man of the match Virendar Sehwag, who scored 146 runs in 102 balls with useful contributions from Sachin Tendulkar with 69 in 63 balls and the Indian captain Dhoni chipping in with 71 runs. Undaunted by the highest ever target set by India, Sri Lanka made a valiant attempt to reach the target with an onslaught of 160 runs from Dilshan, 90 runs from the captain Sangakara and 67 from Upul Tharanga.

When Sri Lanka began its run chase, it was well ahead of India in the run rate from the beginning. Except Harbajan Singh, no other Indian bowler made any impact on the Sri Lankan batsmen.He who took the vital wickets of Dilshan and Jayasuriya.Three run outs of Sri Lankan batsmen were crucial and it made all the difference and India's task much easier.

It was 49 the over.Sri Lanka was on the verge of a historic victory and it was only a few runs away from it. Zaheer Khan was the bowler. Besides bowling his last over tightly, he also caused the run out of a Sri Lankan batsman Tilan Samaraweera.

It was over No.50.Sri Lanka was 404 for 7.It had to score 11 runs in 6 balls.Dhoni tossed the ball to Ashish Nehra. Sri Lanka lost its eighth wicket to Nehra, caught by Sachin Tendulkar in the second ball of the last over. It was the last delivery.Sri Lanka had to score 5 runs from 1 ball. A last ball six would have enabled it to romp home to victory. A boundary would have leveled the score and it would have led to a tie.

One could feel the tension mounting in the whole stadium. After all Nehra was human. Anything might happen. One could see that Indian captain Dhoni was advising Nehra something like this: ‘For heaven's sake please don't bowl a wide or a no ball'.Sri Lankan captain Sangakara sitting in the pavilion was looking very tense and nervous.

Nehra bowled the last ball. The ball was driven, but it did not reach the boundary.Sri Lanka managed to score only two runs in the last ball. India won the match by three runs! At last ,Indian team that held its nerves till the end won the match.

The match was thoroughly entertaining. As many as 825 runs had been scored on a single day. India might have scrapped through by three runs in the match. But, it was the game of Cricket that won!
