Where is INDIA wrt Patents ??

Though Indians have made their way to the Top 10 Richest of the world listed by Forbes , India is still lagging with respect to Research and Development (R&D) though most people disagree this, it is a fact !!!

Last year about 8000 papers were submitted for Patents from India of which only 2000 were approved but our neighbouring country China has applied for 1,80,000 patents which 90,000 were approved.

On an average companies like Intel and Microsoft alone apply for some 2000 patents an year !!!

Why is India lagging behind....

we simply can't say that India does'nt have brains

Whom should we blame for this ??

Is it like Research is going on but still people aren't applying for patents ..

What ever but India needs to get out of this situation as soon as possible

Labels: India wrt Patents , Number of patents india applied , India and Patents

Is this fair for the media !!!

MS. Dhoni ..........................................Gautam Gambhir

what's wrong in riding his bike
he does'nt need much attention..




After winning Common Wealth Bank series in Australia , Indian cricket team received a very grand welcome and even a party was hosted for the team in Delhi..

Young Cricketers like Ishant sharma and praveen kumar became Celebs overnight and they grabbed the unwanted attention of the media !!

The most important thing is the media has enchroached the personal life of the cricketers and made their life difficult...

Take for instance Irfan pathan there was a 1 hour show specially dedicated for him in a news channel which aired some news that pathan has found his Dream Girl in Australia so he is staying back in Aus even after the team returned. Wat's wrong with u guys ( MEDIA) ..
Its not confirmed that he is love and even if he is what do we have to do with it , it is his LIFE man !!!

And gautam gambhir .. The media followed him and created a terrible situation for him just to get out of a saloon and reach his car after a hair cut !!!
Due to the media there came a very big crowd to see Gambhir..
Oh my god its just a hair cut man its quite normal ...

MS Dhoni doesnt he have the freedom to ride his own bike .. why does the media always follow him when he wants to ride a bike ??
Ofcourse he is captain of INDIAN cricket team but that is inside the field .. He has his own life to live outside the field does't he??


Not only these cricketers this is happening with alomst the whole team plz guys take care unwanted attention is always dangerous in a cricket loving country like India .

Let them live their life's stay away from their personal life nothing matters as long as they play well for the country ..
