According to Yash Gulati the senior orthopedic at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital it is not necessary that a single yoga posture can benefit all. So it is necessary that before doing yoga, once consider any expert before practicing. He also said that yoga depends on various factors like age, physical condition etc.

Chandrayaan-1: ISRO loses contact, claims mission ‘over’:  This is definitely not good news for all those who worked hard to know or research about aliens in space craft. They worked desperately day or night to know about their life style. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) lost communication with space craft and with this, its ambition to contact with aliens in space craft almost diminishes. India was trying to contact with them from past two years and finally started its journey ten months before. It launched the mission by naming it Chanrayaan-1. Now after 10 months of its journey, it suddenly came to an end at that time when it lost connection with the spacecraft. They lost connection with them on Saturday August 29, 2009. This really disappointed them after all it was the hard work of ISRO of last two years. According to M Annadurai, the project director of Chandrayaan-1 is now over as they have lost connection with them.  He also claimed that all the technical work of this project was done well and not only well it’s 100%, scientifically it also 90-95% complete.

Chandrayaan-1 launch: This dream project of ISRO was launched in last year in October 22 with full excitement, confident and joyfully. They had full hope that they will get succeed in this project and able to make communication in space craft. They worked hard on this project from past two years and after two years with full preparation they launched the project. Everything was going well till August 29, 2009 1:30 pm. They suddenly lost their connection in afternoon and ultimately the whole project gets diminished. It was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre by PSLV-C11. It has completed 312 days in orbit and making 3, 400 orbits around the moon. NASA also wanted that this project should complete successfully and it also helped and joined them to help them.

Chandrayaan-1 achievement: Last month, it had sent lots of images of lunar surface near about 70,000 images were sent which was had just breathtaking views of lunar surface. These images include mountains and craters especially Moon’s polar region. It was also collecting vital information about the space craft including the detail of chemical and mineral content available on the moon. On August 21, 2009, ISRO and NASA jointly performed an experiment that Indian space agency could find additional information about the existence of life in North Pole of the moon. They also wanted that Indian group could find the existence of ice permanently in same region. The aim is to know maximum about the space raft life and their valuable contents which might possible could be useful for earth, but unfortunately, with the fail of this process all desires were almost finished.

No team will dominate like Australia: According to one of the best cricketers from Indian cricket team with the decline of Australia in test match few days before, domination of single team in test cricket has ended. This is the wording of the one of very sincere player who recently came back in the Indian team to play test match. Here, I am talking about none other than Rahul Dravid who is personally one of my favorite cricketers ever. According to him, gone are days when a test match is dominated by a single team. He feels the number one spot changing hands in every few months between India, South Africa and Sri Lanka. Dravid also said that he did not think a single team will not dominating at least not in immediate future. He said that there are three or four teams that matched with each other and the number one spot has changed accordingly. He also revealed that in the coming times, it will be changing in new hands. Rahul Dravid came back to Indian team after two years gap.

Rahul interviewed The Guardian: In past days, Rahul Dravid gave an interview to the Guardian. In his interview with The Guardian, he said that now India has become one of the strongest team in the world and from paste few years, it proved this. He also said that we have a good team of cricketers which are experienced and sincere. The upcoming talent of India in cricket is very efficient and promising to give their best. He also said that if we go back, and saw the performance of Indian cricket team in past few years, we realize that our team did a great job and played well and if we maintain this, we will definitely has a good chance like anyone. He also added if we keep a good group of fast bowlers that supports spinners then definitely no one can stop us.

About Australia domination: According to Dravid, Australia is dominated because of the bowling of Glen McGrath and Shane Warne and on the other hand England had more balanced bowling attack then them and this was the reason that England won Ashes series. He said England team is performed very well and the result is they won the Ashes series. It’s all because of their bowling group. England won the series with 2-1. Rahul Dravid said that it was very close match but it hardly matters and there is always one winner and England won the match which matters only. About Indian cricket team he said we have a good bowling group and so do South Africa and Sri Lanka and this is the bowling strength which determines that which team will be at top.

A great disappointment was for the media and fans of Salman Khan who were eagerly waiting of their favorite actor on railway station.

Salman Khan Reason to put off train: It was feeling bad that Salman did not reach Bandra station but Salman Khan had some reason to put off his journey. His grandmother was not well and on Tuesday, she was serious for the whole day, so he went there to see her and unfortunately she passed away in the same day. Secondly, he was very much concerned about his fan followers and media personalities as if he reached there and started journey then there might chances that some one get injured as there was lot of rush. According to Salman Khan, the fans go crazy when they saw their favorite star and also media personalities run after stars t capture every moment of his which is not at all safe.

Salman Khan travelled in train: Salman Khan take this step to save the lives of his well-wishers. Being a nice human being, he thought about all the aspects that may happen during this journey. But it doesn’t mean that he never travel in a train. He said, he was travelling in a train in his past days when he was in college. The only difference is at that time he was not a famous personality and so no body knew him. He said but now days with huge fan following it is not good to travel in train with huge risk.

Afghanistan awaits first election results: Afghanistan was prepared for the results of first elections on Monday August 24, 2009 which is contested after the allegation of massive fraud by the party leaders. Although the president Hamid Kazari and his top rival claimed that they got the lead. The officials said that the declaration of preliminary results will start on Tuesday August 25, 2009, but the Electoral Complaints Commission (ECC) that the results will be declared by the next month only. The result will be declared after the proper investigation of the 225 abused records. The united nation has full believed on complaint commission and will take decision after the investigation process. They also appealed to be patient and do not lose temper.

UN Kai Eide claimed: The United Nation member Kai Eide said that personally he has no problem with anyone and also his job is to find out irregularities and not to at what extent, how widespread they are and how significant. He found the irregularities and rest of the work will be done by the process followed to sort out.ECC have to play a critical role to find out. He also appealed to candidates, campaigns, voters to support them in this process as this is very critical. They support them by showing patience not losing temper.

IEC claimed: The Independent Election Commission said that they would declare results from Tuesday as they arrived from the polling centre. According to Noor Mohammad they are going to declare some results on Tuesday. May be the result will 10 to 11 percent only.

Hamid Kazari may win: It is believed that Hamid Kazari won the election easily, but the former foreign minister did a strong campaign and according to reports his campaign turns around the powerbase. From internal sources, they are trying to negotiate with Abdullah and if he agrees it means he accepts his defeat in first round but it all depend that what he gets. Rather it’s too early to talk about all these but basically Abdullah is committed to his loyalty, principles and goals then whether he wins or lose, it hardly matters. The war between two is basically between north end and south end as Abdullah has his powerbase in North and Kazari has powerbase in South.

President awaits results: According to report, the president is waiting for the final result. The delay is because of investigation on irregularities and if to get result fast, there may be chance that complaint commission points out 35 irregularities from 225 which may affect the outcome of the results. According to Afghanistan Centre for Research and Policy studies, there may create problem if the results are not declared early and delayed like this.  

Madras High Court judge offers to declare his assets: Another judge offers to go public. This is happened second time in the country that a judge has offered to declare assets. Before him already a judge did it. This judge belongs from Chennai. According to chief justice it is not happened mostly that a judge do this. Most of the judges don’t want to declare his assets publically. Then what does it mean? Is it any kind of competition between judges or something else? What is this exactly? According to rule, every high court judge has freedom to declare their assets, but not for all courts it is applied. As far as concern of Supreme Court then there is some general agreement on this.

K Kannan declares assets: The first judge who is what we called a leader of the team of declaring assets is the judge form Northern side. The judge is from Punjab and Haryana high court K Kannan starts this trend. He wants to go in public with the wealth. He wants to share his assets in public. He declares all his assets including assets owed by his wife. The chief justice called him a publicity-seeker who has not stopped second judge to do the same.

Parliament views on this: According to parliaments like politicians who declares their assets to public, judges should be obliged to share the details of their assets under the Right to Information Act. It is their personal choice that they want to share the assets in public and they have to as the people came to know about the actual assets of a judge.

Some Judges disagree: As there are always some negative elements, it is very common that all judges do not agree with this. Some of them disagree and said that disclose of their assets in public is not done. The property must be disclosed in front of some reputed parliaments members only and not in front of every body. Accordingly, the property of Supreme Court Judges is disclosed in front of President of the India and the assets of high court judges are disclosed in front of Chief Justice.  

Summary: So what will be the conclusion of this either every judge shares his assets or not. According to experts, it is very rare chance that every judge agrees with this and follows the procedure on their own till they are made to do so. It is still an issue which has been going in for one year. According to Governor of committee for Judicial Accountability, parliament has to taken this matter seriously and has taken some serious steps. Parliament has to make some new laws or rules regarding this issue so that it is solved.

Ashes: Oval pitch draws criticism from former greats: The great Australia spinner Shane Warne criticized the London pitch. Shane Warne is one of the best players of the cricket team of Australia in his time. He is the former Australian international cricketer and played may matches on different pitches. He is also selected for the Wisden Cricketer of the Century and he said regarding the pitch that he felt not good after viewing the pitch as curator did not complete their task in proper manner. They just over baked the pitch. He feels that the curator has over baked the pitch. He said the curator did so to get a result. He said the curators over baked the pitch little bit to make sure that they get result on the pitch. Shane warn said this wording after England shot out Australia in first innings on day two in fifth and final Ashes test. The result of the over baked pitch is during Ashes tests, the ball was jumping high in the pitch which has never happened before. He said the entire batsmen got problem while playing on this kind of pitch.

England needs a win: Shane Warne said that this all is done to win the test. He included England wants to win the match and wants to clinch back the Ashes urn. He said England wants the Ashes tests back and so they did this. They have produced the pitch in this manner that batsmen admit that they have problem while playing on pitch and admit that it resembles to the disturbed Indian surface. But this is not the way to do. England has to think about it otherwise it may create problem. England has to take some strong step against this.

Michael Holding: Michael Holding also remarked on the pitch. He said he was very disappointed to view the pitch and the behavior of the pitch. It really is not good. He said he never experienced like this before and felt bad. He said there is no any incident he reminds that he has never seen that a ball is going through the top of the pitch like this. He said he also saw this on very first day of the match. He added that he played on this pitch in the year 1976. That was the one of the hottest summer time in England but it did not like this even in that time. He said if they blamed weather then they are absolutely wrong because it is not the weather that creates this problem. There is definitely something wrong while this pitch was produced. It was really not a good sign and blaming on weather for this totally wrong.
