Ttelegram service comes to an end in India

                          The last telegram went out in last Sunday, making an end to of service that lakhs of Indians relied on the for the fast communication until recently. The BSNL says the declining revenues forced it to end the service and it had become obsolete in the age of new mode communication 

                                The telegraph was the first form of communication and the messages  could be sent from a great distance. This was a one of the  landmark inventions  in the  human history. With the advent of the telegraph, messages were transmitted instantaneously to  farther and farther till it connected people from around the world by pressing a few buttons. Samuel Morse refined this technology and later led to the invention of wireless Radio Communication by Marconi.

                         India's telegram service began in 1850, when the first telegram was sent from the eastern city of Kolkata to Diamond Harbor, a southern suburb nearly 25 miles from the city center.At its peak in 1980s and 1990s6 lakhs telegrams were sent everyday from the birth announcements to job appointments  court summons to college admissions the telegram was main way communication to the millions of Indians and it was used until recently in many official purposes. It was not  informed by the government which way of communication they use in future..

The thought of cricket fan

             I don't know  why I stopped writing blogs. I had many issues in my mind to scribe. May be I was not organised self to do that or the inherent laziness would have pulled me out. Couple of years passed since my first blog which was on cricket betting that shook the lovers of cricket in to despair and dismay.The recent news on that heartened me that both  convicted players ,  Salman Butt and Mohammed  Asif,  they not only admitted the spot betting but they apologized to the public for their wrong doings.  This made me think the Pakistani  angle again ,whatever I read about  the Pakistan democracy and judiciary was always depicted as mockery or sub standard or controlled by the all powerful Army, but these incident made me to think otherwise. Here in India  many players and owners of IPL  have been accused of spot fixing and match fixing but none of them are convicted so far, though they were barred from international cricket still those who cheated the cricket lovers and tarnished   game are  still in power, one even made as MP that too in ruling party and he even made as the president of another sports organization and other people walk around freely   and no case are pending against them  in courts. We always talk high  about our democracy ,judiciary and our human right records and too often compare with Pakistani systems.Anyway at least in  cricket it is different. Recently  another  IPL spot fixing case came out and media just celebrated it for some days and depicted the players involved in the case are culprits as they got the details of phone calls and video footage showing as they are involved in it the  and players were remanded to judicial custody for a week or so. Lets see what will happen next few months  of time . Now the same media  started glorifying the some of the players. The the face saving work by BCCI and the police authorities will not stop the betting in cricket, since the powerful people are  involved  and  the cricketers they follow their all powerful owners in betting.
             What happened to us  even Pakistan could do this much  why can't our celebrated  democratic systems couldn't do  anything, may be the money and the political power  involved the game are above everything.
