Stan Wawrinka held off an injured Rafael Nadal to win his first Grand Slam title with a 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 victory on Sunday in the Australian Open final. The 28-year-old Swiss player had never taken a set off Nadal in 12 previous meetings, but attacked from the start at Melbourne Park against the 13-time major winner.

Manchester United Signs Juan Mata

Manchester United smashed the club's transfer record to sign Juan Mata from Chelsea for 37.1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift. The Spain midfielder was deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea after losing his place in the team since Jose Mourinho's return as manager last summer. The move, which is the most high-profile yet in Europe's January transfer window, will guarantee Mata is back playing regular football ahead of the World Cup in Brazil. It is also a statement of intent from United amid a tough period for new manager David Moyes, whose team is seventh in the Premier League and struggling to qualify for the lucrative Champions League.

Death of sunantha pushkar and its social importance

The death of sunantha pushkar wife of sashi tharoor was really shocker of 2014.  She wad found dead in the suit room no 345 of leela palace hotel in Delhi . Her death came barely 12hrs after the twitter war about the tharoor's bbm with pakistani journalists became a new and it finally ended with a joint statement by both of them together in Facebook that they are happily married. But the mystery around her death is matter of social importance.  It shows the life style and its effects that hounds the high profile people . It is unbelievable for a woman who have faced the death of her second husband in a car crash years ago when  her child was very small to have done suicide on a  matter of less importance . Suicide angle can be outrightly rejected being a woman of her kind. There was reports that sunantha was suffering from disease for which she was taking treatment in various parts of the world . How ever the kims hospital in trivandrum have denied that she was having any sort of

Congress Need Gandhis More than Gandhis need Congress..

Rahul Gandhi was very combative, took on the opposition head on and tried his best to boost the sagging morale of his party leaders and workers across India during his 45-minute long speech at the AICC meet in New Delhi on Friday. Without naming Narendra Modi or BJP or the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), he attacked their style of functioning and policies. He listed out the achievements of the Congress government and even called the opposition good marketers. Like his father, late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, the son also took on power brokers in the party. He cautioned them that the party must open its doors to the real workers and new thoughts. The AAP effect was quite visible in his speech. He spoke about how people from all walks of life are helping him in preparing the party manifesto. He also expressed his strongest reservation over media and courts doing the job of Parliament and state assemblies. He even ridiculed the AAP saying that some people make laws in the streets. Analysts say

Fire accidents in indian trains

For last few month there is a high rise in no of accidents caused by fire in train compartments.  Why sudden rise in such accident ?. Are our reservation coaches safe ? . Is it due to design problem or is it due to overloaded usage of compartments without proper maintenance.  Why railway not coming up with solutions.  R we risking ourselves when we are booking a reservation ticket. Main reason for the fire accident is lack of maintenance , over usage of the compartments . there is no sufficient time for the heat generated to cool off before next trip in most of the ac coaches . More over some of the new coaches are having highly combustible materials.  Railway should come up with fire retardant material compartments for a/c coaches . It is also time to shift from old school of design to modern school of design . Start designing coaches in line with  European style of coaches atleast for first, second a/c class .

Kejriwal’s emotional pitch, calmness force opposition to remain silent

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal won the trust vote in Delhi Assembly in style. He delivered a very short speech seeking the support of 'others'. He made sure that his emotional pitch works. The Chief Minister refrained from using big words, his speech was very simple. But, it was quiet powerful. Kejriwal did not attack the Congress and BJP. He told the Congress and BJP that the AAP was not seeking vote for its government or party. He said, "We are not seeking vote for us. We are seeking the vote for the common people." The opposition made serious allegations against the AAP and Kejriwal during the debate. However, Kejriwal did not go into the specifics. He did not even bother to launch a counter attack. In a very clever move he moved from being a preachy and sanctimonious person to a statesman, whose main concern is the welfare of the society. He kept his speech very short and direct. Kejriwal�s emotional pitch, calmness force opposition to remain silent Kejriwa
