The clean India campaign

The ‘clean India’ campaign is a fantastic initiative. Now PM is holding the broom in public. Soom CMs & Collectors must hold the brooms in public. Hope they don't remain just symbolic gestures. And it wont work if we wont commit to changing our old habits. No more careless litter, spitting in public, etc. 
This is more a change in lifestyle than a movement. I remember one of old time sayings hoarded in my college mates room , Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness....Make everyone countable....

Indian women are not behind to anyone....


It is really interesting to see the Indian women saga in Asian Games.
First , " Magnificent Mary" won the first ever boxing gold for India, then the Indian women’s kabaddi gold medal, and then the disastrous Commonwealth Games baton drop to golden podium of women’s relay team .
