THE MAN OF STEEL RETURNS


If you are thinking about a superman dressed in blue and red garb then you are both right and wrong because I am refering to our own Indian super hero........no no.....if you have concluded that I am going to write an article on trying to bring to light how our homegrown superheroes (Krish) have started following Hollywood trend. I would say dont be impatient.

I am refering to our very own steel baron Mr. Laxmi Mittal. A man who by his sheer determination and lasting guts overcame all the opposition and has vanquished all suspicions which tried to put doubt on his flawless planning and global vision.

No wonder THE ECONOMIC TIMES promptly stated
" call it the victory of Indian 'colone' over European 'perfume'."

With saga that started on 14th Jan'06 when Mr. Mittal talked to Arcelor CEO about possibility of Mittal steel acquiring Arcelor which he turned down to 26th Jun'06 when Arcelor board decided to accept the improved offer by Mittal steel.

When he left India in 1976 who would have thought this man would spear head world's steal industry with comfortable family holding of 43.5% of Arcelor Mittal he is definately leading.The combined entity has capacity of 130mt i.e. 10% of worlds steel output, 61 steel plants in 27 countries a feeding hand to 3,20,000.The figure just shows how seminal this merger is and just shows how world is now awakening to the presence of INDIA INC. on the global economic front.

Today every Indian is proud of steel baron who has proved that globalization is not a one way street if India is open to foreign investment and welcomes them so should foreign countries.

The man truly posses nerves of steel as it is not a small feat to achieve the position he has acquired in just a span of 20 years. He has taken great risks and has proved that his meticulous planning is perfect to every step.

He is a man who turned most of ailing and ageing steel plants into profitable ventures. He has proved once again that thinking out of the box is what matters you might do same things but you have to do them in a different way.

Way to go king Mittal.....

WHERE IS SHE ?


Chann taswira khat mann di kamayi hai..
Aaj mainu phir teri yaad ayi hai..
Ohi chand ohi ratan..........ohi purwayi hai........

Like frozen water time stands still for me whenever I listen to this song . Like a kid wko always does things which he is told not to do. perhaps because it gives thrills but in my case that nostalgic feeling that washes over me every time I explore the forbidden box of memories some sweet some sour, some facetious some serious.Whicever quadrant i classify them in .....I still hold them close to my heart.


The recollection of those days......the magic she weaved ......her presence so soothing and calming making me feel as if there is nothing in this world that could go wrong. Her smile so disarming how could i get angry with her for being late.Her beauty so captivating how could I ever wonder.
Her care and concern so natural ....who else could have cared so much.

I still think she deserved some one better.I guess she realized that n that's the reason she has gone..................
but i wonder where......where .........where has she gone.......vanished into thin air.............

I try to follow her trail with every possible explanation and possibility but she seems to have ................poof......in deep seas or in snow covered peaks of lofty mountains or in vast fields or in deep valeys......in dense forests............somewhere i got to find her........but where?


How much I try to hide to keep the flame under wraps which still flares inside my heart at just the mention of her name. The desire that still rages no matter how much i try to hide but the world knows guess it shows.............i wonder who is the traitor my heart?

naaahhhh..........my heart is not here with .......wandering sumwhere searching fervently for her guess my eyes cant hide a thing.......

The moat has been crossed the gates the gates compromised, walls breached her memories again hold the sway. She is still my hearts queen..........n I am still searching.............

God Bless.........FIFA World Cup 2006

If u are wondering why am i blessing world cup?......its because world cup this time has earned special place in my heart. Though soccer is a relegion for many in world . Soccer a sport that attracts millions of fans from all over the world.

Host countries generate revenues worth zilllionsssss of dollars as that place transforms into mecca for ardent fans and followers of this relegion which is called ' football' .

I guess the tag line ....."it's not a game.....it's not a sport.........it's a relegion" fully justifies the crazyness I see in ppl for it.

Though i must admit sometimes the craze caught up with me too and i followed few favs like BRAZIL, GERMANY, ARGENTINA.......but could never sustain my intrest;)

Still i bless this event because this time it has achieved the impossible . It has managed to keep my closest friends without fighting since it's beginning n that my frnds is a great feat....as i am fully aware they have to fight everyday n then i have resolve it everyday which is now my daily routine.....hehehe......n i admire them that they still love each other.

I was amazed to see them both huddled on sofa in front of my friend's television and actually enjoying the match..............shocked as i was Aditi and football ......sumthings just dont fit together ;)

She was patiently trying to understand the intricacies of football which he was explaining to her with great enthusiasm. When he went to fetch some coffee, I asked her "Hey! u hated football.....i remember that".

She winked at me and said
"Understanding each others intrest is best possible way to understand each other." and I must say I really second her opinion.

So, I asked her in a jesting manner "Does he show intrest in ur intrest which is shopping ;) ?" and now as i am sure you can guess she has charged a guy with the responsibility of making a guy understand that shopping is intresting.....my god [;P].

hhhmmmmmm.......on second thoughts I think she is right to be together one must show intrests in others intrests.....and on lighter side [:D] . They won't come to me fighting like kids everyday and i can have some peace [;)].

Hey Aditi I hope this works......as there is nothing more than his love for you which can motivate him to find sumthng positive and intresting about shopping[;)]........but I am sure about one thing he LOVES YOU.....trust me on that.[:)]

For you my brother ......you are intelligent enough to understand what to do.........n I am sure u wont disappoint me .....

May god bless you both and FIFA world cup 2006 . I guess I have to follow it more relegiously now....[;)]
