Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has reportedly offered to resign from the high-profile post following paceman Rudra Pratap Singh’s exclusion from the ODI team but the BCCI vehemently denied the development.
According to television reports, Dhoni had a disagreement with the selectors during the meeting on Thursday to pick the team for the fourth and fifth matches of the ongoing series against England. Dhoni was unhappy that the selectors decided to drop RP Singh and include Irfan Pathan in his place and offered to resign, the television reports claimed, quoting an unnamed source close to one of the selectors.
The BBCI, however, was quick to rubbish the reports. “I can’t respond to something that is being floated around by somebody,” BCCI secretary N Srinivisan said.
The Indian players are currently in Bangalore to play the fourth match and the team management could not be immediately reached for their comments. Dhoni’s customary pre-match press conference is scheduled to be held later in the afternoon.
The reports said BCCI President Shashank Manohar was forced to interfere and sort out the issue.
The newly formed selection committee, headed by former Indian captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth had met on Thursday for the team selection when the differences apparently cropped up.
Last year, Rahul Dravid too had relinquished captaincy. Lack of say in selection matters was widely touted as the reason behind Dravid’s abrupt decision.

A Group Discussion is nothing but a formal discussion involving 5 to 10 participants in a group. These days GD is being used by B-schools and organizations to judge whether the candidate has certain personality traits and skills that it desires in its members. Normally in GD, the group of candidates is given a topic or a situation, given a few minutes to think about the same, and then asked to discuss the it among themselves for 20-30 minutes. Let’s take an example of a Cricket match, where you have to play like a team, and aim for a common goal which is Victory, similarly GD is also like a team work, incorporating views of different team members to reach a common goal. So, here is a list of 8 activities which you should not do in any GD.
1. Don’t start of with I think: Yeah, it is true. Once in a GD, there was this topic that should Aishwarya marry Abhishek & this gentleman adjusted his chair & pronounced his arrival by saying that “I think Aishwarya is damn more beautiful for a moron like Abhishek”. Just imagine, the GD organizer is big fan of Abhishek. So, please don’t start with your perceptions. But never be quiet in GD. Just speak out you mind. If you are not speaking how will they judge you.
2. Don’t start with the conclusion: This is the common mistake, people generally conclude everything in their first speech itself. This is really a bad practice during GDs.
3. Don’t keep glancing in the paper: The paper is there to make you feel more jittery. The content which is stored in your mind can’t be explicitly placed on the paper. Don’t stare at the paper much. Look into the eyes of your opponent or better dream of some exotic place & then let the horses run.
4. Don’t put that pen/pencil in your mouth: Not only it gives a negative impression, but also bad for your health. :-)
5. Don’t be a clown: One of my friends is expert in this. His dad is a sweet shop owner. He also sometimes sits at the shop & keeps on flying away the flies. So, once we were sitting in a GD discussing about the nuclear deal. Suddenly due to some provocation this guy thought that he was sitting in his shop & started swaying his arms like a jumbo jet
6. Friends are Foes: I must admit that I am a looser in GD’s. Once during a GD I asked my mate who was a great speaker that in the GD you please point towards me & ask me to speak. He agreed. I was happy. Topic was too general. It became a fish market. My friend somehow controlled the situation & pointing towards me & said: “Abhi, would u like to add something”. As I was about to open my mouth, a guy sitting next to me started his Marathon run. After the GD i asked him his name. He said: “Hi! I am Varun”. Avoid such things while GD.
7. Don’t Speak: Yes! Silence is Golden. I realized this during one of college GD’s. People were discussing in a decent manner. Everyone was speaking & getting properly listened. Suddenly, out of the blue we heard a shrieking voice which pierced our ears. The words were: “Guys! Please maintain the decorum of the GD”.
8. Don’t be anxious: There are people who tend to push up from their chair. It looks like they have got ants in their pants. Guys! its really absurd & definitely makes you loose marks.
So the economic meltdown is showing its impact in India also. As according to latest Forbes report, 27 Indians have been moved out of India’s billionaires club. Now we have only 27 billionaires as compared to 54 billionaires in 2007. In 2006, India had 36 billionaires. The honeymoon is over for Indian economy. Indian economy has really bad time. Stock market has fallen by 48 per cent in the 12 months, Indian rupee is depreciated by 24 % against the dollar and GDP(gross domestic product growth) is expected to decrease to 7.5 %. The combined wealth of India’s 40 wealthiest people slumped 60 % to $139 billion which was $351 billion a year ago.
Lakshmi Mittal of Mittal Steel has lost his top position to Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries Ltd. Anil Ambani is the third richest Indian. So the top ten richest Indians are
One more US giant has been forced to follow the path of Lehman Brothers. This company is Circuit City. It is an American dealer and retailer in brand-name consumer electronics, personal computers, and entertainment software. It is a Fortune 500 company which operates over 600 superstores in different parts of USA. On November 3, 2008 it was revealed that Circuit City would close 155 stores and lay off 17% of its workforce by the end of the year as a result of continually struggling to remain profitable. After 4 days, on November 7th this company laid off more than 500 corporate employees from their Richmond, Virginia headquarters. Now the company’s shares have collapsed to historical low of 25 cents. But all these measures could not make it profitable. Finally today Circuit City has filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy. Actually in USA, bankruptcy protection is a popular legal mechanism which allows a troubled company to keep its creditors at bay while it draws up a new business plan, which has to be approved by a bankruptcy judge. This method gives the bankrupt company some time to sort out their problems, cut costs and prevent it becoming completely decimal. Moreover, according to latest Washington’s Labor Department’s official report around 6.5 per cent of the US workforce is now jobless. The situation of American economy is very critical. Now how new president Obama will handle all these troubles will be a matter of concern for the whole world.
Once upon a time Orkut was number one social networking website on the internet. Now things have changed for orkut, its honeymoon is over. The latest alexa rank of orkut.com is 66. Orkut was designed to help users meet new friends and maintain existing relationships on internet. Early this year, this was the most visited website in Brazil and second most visited website in India. Now it is at 4th rank in India. A large percentage of users in India are high school and college students. Now this site is unable to attract new breed of students i.e the age group of 18-24.
The main reason behind the recent downfall is evolution of Facebook. Today, Facebook is even ahead of MySpace.com. In India, the new generation is more declined towards Facebook whereas our generation who were early users of Orkut, have stopped using Orkut. You will be shocked to see the downfall of Orkut. Even, Google is completely clueless on this point. Check out the latest Alexa graph of Orkut.
Do you know what is an optical illusion? Today I will tell you about optical illusion and share a cool video on this also. Actually, optical illusion refers to visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed and the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. Optical illusions are divided into three categories. First one is literal optical illusions which create images that are different from the objects that make them, secondly we have physiological illusions that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type - brightness, tilt, color, movement, and the third is cognitive illusion where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences. Now watch out this cool video on optical illusions.
