What I 'really' need before the finals

India TV and Aaj Tak never fail to deliver. They are the pioneers

to 'great' Indian reporting.

Talking about the world cup, all other channels including ESPN Star Sports, NDTV and the likes have been disappointing in satisfying the Indian viewer. On the other hand, India TV and Aaj Tak have delivered what all of us 'really' need.

Thank you India TV for having Mr. Arshad Warsi tell us what he thinks will happen in the match, who is the better side, and how should MS Dhoni lead his team. Aaj Tak quickly had another Bollywood celebrity, Rajpal Yadav share his thoughts on the finals. Very inspiring.

What I really need before Sachin's last match in the World Cups, and by far, one of the most important matches that he has ever played or will ever play, is Arshad Warsi talking about stroke play.

Indian census: New Indian birth control

So the census numbers are out. The census has a few positives and persisting negatives.

While the population growth rate has steadily declined, which is an amazing sign, the sex ratio continues to be a constant worry. Sex ratio below 6 years shows out of every 100, there are 52.24 male children.

A Times of India article a few days back said there would be 20% more males than females by 2030. A Government spokesperson confirmed the estimate, and said, "Our Government is doing absolutely NOTHING about this, as we are seeing the bigger picture that the world is not. Falling sex ratio is India's way of birth control. We can't do a China after the Rajiv Gandhi incident, so this is the next best alternative."

While the Government is doing little for the falling sex ratio, there are a few brave programs that address preconceptional / gestational diagnostics (Ultrasonography and the likes)
