2 Cricketing Heroes of 2012



Sachin Tendulkar


It is hard to believe Indian Cricket without the little master Sachin Tendulkar. Despite tremendous pressure from critics about his forms the little master stunned the world announcing the retirement from limited over international. 2012 was not a great year for Sachin but the cricket history shall always remember the year as the year when Sachin Tendulkar at the age of 39 scored his hundredth hundred against Bangladesh at Dakha. His 23-year reign in ODI record reads 18426 runs in 463 matches at an average of 44.83, with 49 centuries and 96 fifties. His highest score in ODI remains 200 runs, making him the first batsman to cross the double figure. 

Yuvraj Singh


Yuvraj Singh’s story of determination and self-belief is an inspiration to be followed. After successfully battling cancer he has never looked back. His comeback double hundred in first class cricket and his all-round performance against New Zealand, England and Pakistan makes him a much needed player of ODI and T20 format.  The last T20 match with Pakistan saw Yuvraj hitting 7 sixes and 4 fours in his 36 ball 72.

Rongli my birthplace

BY SHITAL PRADHAN A small hamlet in an eastern side Silent raush on its way, The old silk route, More older it look Upon which I stay, Hey that’s Rongli, Rongli my birthplace Years went by, years dried up, Yet the small village is as it was, Silent, peaceful and introvert Today’s picture of Rongli, Houses as station bogie, Looks a cradle, from Chujachen, Upon which the blue sky, As if I can touch thee, Roaring River, As the legend we hear, Still watch with glee, The terror of 1890 somewhat forgotten, Yet another terrorizing moment, 68 was the year… 1968, When sky too wasn’t pleased. That was Rongli, Rongli of the past. Playing along the Baar-Pepal tree, Hiding in the Shivalaya, Watching videos and aloft Is a decent memory, now? Sweet time in treasure, Yet when I am in Rongli, I am happy, in whither sweet. Rongli my birthplace !

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.” It is also said that the real battle was not between the Chogyal and Kazi Lendup Dorji but between their wives. On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...
