The Search of "The Malaysia Airline"

It has been two days since Malaysia Airlines MH370 went missing somewhere in the South China sea as sources says. The Boeing 777 carrying a huge number of people around 239 is still no where to be found since Saturday morning. There is still not a single trace of any wreckage also. There has been oil slicks found by the Vietnamese army in the South China sea but this just cannot help us reach those passengers. On Sunday morning we came to know about a strange thing that two passengers from Austria and Italy who were supposed to board the flight but unfortunately there passports got stolen and they just got lucky in a way. But a twist in the tale is that two people in place of them were still on board. On Sunday afternoon also there are no traces of the Boeing 777. There is a big possibility that the officials may take months or maybe years to trace the Malaysia Airlines flight. In past there had been crashes for various reasons like both engine failure, bad weather, lost connectivity with the radar, pilot suicide which seems strange but it has happened in the past. This could be one of the deadliest incidents since the flight is untraceable after two days since it got missing. An array of different countries are now involved in search. A total of 40 ships and 22 aircraft from China and USA are searching the west coasts and South China sea and the search operation is widened to trace the flight as soon as possible and get to the on board passengers with help. If we look at another angle, there is a possibility of terrorism involved in this and some officials are also saying that the plane may have returned back. We can assume those two stolen passports being used in a dreadful way and the plane may have got hijacked or forcibly crashed. Another pilot who was flying ahead of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane revealed that he made contact with the missing aircraft minutes after he was asked to do so by Vietnamese air traffic control. He said he heard mumbling and static from the cockpit of flight MH370. The China bound flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing carried mostly people from China. It seems so strange that after having so much of intelligence and manpower, we are still unable to trace any wreckage or any major clue related to the plane. For now we can just wish for all those 239 people to be alive somehow or the other.

India v Pakistan

2nd March'2014 : IND v PAK
The title raises the heart beat of each and every individual of India and Pakistan because now it is not a normal affair to see a cricket match between these two countries. Cricket fans all over the whole world awaits for this moment. The title India v Pakistan itself generates a rush of adrenaline, you can't say it because of rivalry because now the rivalry thing has been left out of the game. It is the history of both teams competing against each other and the amount of aggression each player shows, gives us the reason to be entertained. The competetion between India and Pakistan is seen in many fields whether work or sports but the most interesting and fiercing contest is seen in the game of cricket. The frequency of a cricket match between these two countries is much less as compared to other games like hockey and this is the reason the entire country waits for this moment and hardly few people can be seen on road because everyone sticks to their television as the match progresses. The amount of intensity seen among people in and out of the field is incomparable. No matter in which country the match is being played, the attendance on the field is always high. The history says it all, when Sachin Tendulkar used to hit back to back centuries in Sharjah during the year of 90's and then the Indian cricket got a huge amount of fans for the game of cricket. The craze for a India Pakistan match was always there but the intensity level grew from the times when Sachin, Ganguly, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar used to play. Both India and Pakistan have produced legendary players like Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Imran Khan, Javed Miadad and when these kind of players come along to play against each other on a field then automatically the game becomes thrilling and exciting. Now it is the time for players like Dhoni, Kohli to lead for India. The finale of the first ever T20 World Cup is unforgiven and so do the semi final of the ICC WC 2015. The level of performance the players of both India and Pakistan has is always been the same when it comes to competeting against each other. Every player gives their 100 percent for this very match. One of the most interesting fact is that we have never seen a one sided match when India Pakistan plays against each other in a cricket match. Most of the time the game goes on to the wire. The sad part is only that we are treated with a India v Pakistan cricket match only in the World Cup's or any of the ICC event. There is hardly any series made for India and Pakistan. People want to see both the teams playing more frequently and it is high time to not force politics in to cricket. If other games can be played among these countries then why not Cricket? Cricket has always been the most fascinating game the people have always looked forward to. I hope this unfair treatment with the game of cricket for India v Pakistan game gets over soon.
