INDIAN ICE HOCKEY TEAM:THE TRENDING STORY!!!

                                                ICE HOCKEY..!!

• India is making rapid strides in world sport with our athletes reaching the top in various sports like Cricket,Badminton,Tennis,Chess,Shooting,Kabaddi etc.
• But now a certain sport called ICE HOCKEY which is lesser known to Indians is making all sorts of headlines in the country.

                     Why is Ice Hockey making headlines in the country???

 The Indian Ice Hockey team is scheduled to play Championship cup of Asia in Kuwait from April 18-25.

                                     What's the big deal in that..?
Well the thing is they do not have sufficient funds to go and play there and the sports federation i.e., the Ice Hockey Association of India(IHAI) too lack money,so,they took to social media to invite donations for their players to realize their dreams.
And that's the reason the sport of Ice Hockey is trending on social media.

• The Federations touching message on social media read : 'We demand our share of love,because be it Cricket or Ice Hockey,the association of Tricolor shall be respected everywhere',Please support our Ice Hockey Team travelling to Kuwait.We need to raise funds for the team.A 20k donation will cover costs for 1 player'.

RESPONSE:

• The response was tremendous.Donations came from South India Shelters,Mahindra Group,Cricketer Gautam Gambhir and various others.

Their target was reached and they promised to use the money for the players and the money that is left out will be used to develop facilities for Ice Hockey in India.

PLAYERS:

• The players are neither full time nor professional players,but passionate players.The captain of the team is a B.Tech student and he reckons the team is ready to showcase it's talent and is confident that they will get the much needed support once they do well in the tournament.

After overcoming all the obstacles the team of 27 individuals reached kuwait to  prove themselves on the Asian Sporting arena.

                            ALL THE BEST to the Indian Ice Hockey Team!!!!

The entire nation will support you...

                 DO WELL and let the Tri colour flag fly high...!

HUMOROUS,SATIRICAL - "YET TRUE......"!!!

                                       

Friends,

• Generally people have different opinions about politicians like,"some say they are responsible for corruption,some say they only come in to politics to earn money and not for serving people,some say they misuse their power for illegal deeds and only few say there are good politicians as well.Yes, I agree that there are good politicians but the sad part is they are only few in number.

         

• The reason why I mentioned the above statements is that there is lot of dissatisfaction among majority of people  about politics and politicians.Taking that into perspective I would like to share 2 example stories which I have read on politics and politicians.

• It may sound humorous,satirical but what I wish to convey is people are looking for good administration and it is the duty of the elected representatives to develop trust among people through their deeds which will help the society.

STORY 1:
                   
                A busload of politicians fell off a road deep into a farmers fields.Seeing this, the farmer rushed to the spot and started to dig a hole to bury the politicians.

                  Next day the police came to investigate and they asked the farmer,
"You buried all of them.But were they all dead?"  

The Farmer replied,
...
....
......
..........
............
"Some of them said that they weren't dead.But you know,how 'politicians' lie".


STORY 2:
                  
                  One night, a mugger pointed out a gun at a well dressed man and said,"Give me all your money".

The man replied,"You probably don't know who I am.I am a politician".

The mugger said,
...
....
......
........
............
...............
                 "In that case,give me all my money". 

THE WORLD LOST THE "WORLD RECORD HOLDER"......!
