HISTORY OF IPL-SEASON 3

As era proceeds people start moving towards shortcuts and easy going life which does not take much time the same rule was followed in cricket as time proceeded test matches where converted to one day and then one day matches to 20-20. Well this drastic change was very necessary as nobody gets so much time to sit the whole day and watch a match 20-20 given you the same excitement and fun in a compact form in which you don’t get bored. That is exactly what IPL has done from the last few years the mixture of bollywood and cricket has spiced up the entertainment factor and brings new excitement to people every year.
IPL was launched in the year 2008 and it was in this year when the first IPL match was played. It was Mr. Lalit Modi behind the whole effort which made IPL take the biggest mass entertainment program of the country. The formation of team and the matches involvement of bollywood made the viewers stick to the league for the whole season with no match going as *NO HOUSEFULL*. It had become the biggest business of the country which had effects on both side of the shore.

IRON LADY OF MANIPURA-IROM CHANU

A tube is attached to her nose, from where a calculated dose of food is inserted into her stomach forcefully, in order to keep her breathing and her vital organs alive. Despite her frail structure, which has developed from this condition, Irom Chanu Sharmila continues to be a tough nut for the 13th successive year. The reason she is on fast is her demand that the Indian government should repeal the draconian law that accords the armed forces absolute power in troubled areas.
Her picturesque state Manipur, with most friendly people and rain forests rich in timber and herbs, could have been a picture of peace if not for the simmering conflict between indigenous people and the government. Like all other places that witness separatist insurgency, in which case the government tries to overpower the locals with generous use of force and laws to support it, Manipur has been the hotbed of conflicts since the last five decades, with peace being an intermittently occurring phenomenon. Draconian laws have been revoked in Manipur ever since.
The incident that made Irom Chanu Sharmila both a legend and a victim of the government's conspiracies occurred just before the new millennium completed a year. On November 2, 2000, armed forces killed 10 innocent civilians who were waiting for a bus in Malon, a town close to the capital city of Imphal.
Sharmila, also known as Mengoubi (a fair girl), was onto her regular fasting routine when the news trickled in. She used to go on a day-long fast every Thursday. But that Thursday was going to be historical. Protesting the killings, she continued her fast into the next day, the day after and many days following November 2. Her vital signs deteriorated and the news that she was fasting to force the government to revoke AFSPA (Armed Forces [Special Powers] Act). She was admitted to hospital and a nasogastric intubation was forced down her windpipe to keep her breathing, while under arrest.
Sensing trouble with the growing support to Irom Sharmila, the government charged her with 'attempted suicide' and ensured her days were split between hospital and legal institutions. But what had to happen transpired like droplets of water trickling into a solid rock. With her silence, resilience and consistent efforts, the frail woman had made a dent, and a solid one at that. This poetess with shy eyes and silken skin had turned into a political activist, a human rights activist and also a fighter for civil rights.
And when she completed 500 weeks of continuous fasting, Sharmila even overtook Mahatma Gandhi, the undisputed protagonist of the Indian National Movement and the global icon who stood for peace and non-violence, with her fasting credits. All of 41 years of age, she has been fasting for over 13 years of her life! But her struggle has never been daunted, affected or lost sheen and grit in the absence of food. She has been consistently writing letters to the Indian government and international agencies to press for the revoking of AFSPA, which gives the army absolute power, which has mostly been misused to silence the voices that are demanding a separate state.
AFSPA, the legal provision that has turned Armed forces (read Assam Rifles) from messiah to maniac, was framed before India became independent. The British had created this act to discourage the citizens of the country from participating in the famous Quit India Movement. But that was way back in 1942.
The act was modified a bit in 1958 and amended in 1972, in order to accommodate six sections that accord absolute power to the army, in areas of civil disobedience. Thus was born the monster, which only created mayhem. Armed forces, in order to 'discipline' the citizens who were into activism, used it to snuff out lives indiscriminately, anywhere and everywhere.
Having seen the bloodshed and the temporariness of life, Sharmila decided somebody had to take the lead. And she did. Much to the relief of the people of Manipur, the news travelled far and wide, and national and international organisations began to meet up with her. Her story has become a glowing reference to peaceful activism, globally. Awards soon followed - both from within the country and outside India. There is even a play written on her life that continues to touch the audience throughout the country.
It is a noteworthy fact that Manipur shares its border with Myanmar from where comes another story of political resilience in the form of another soft-looking yet tough woman leader - Aung San Suu Kyi.
Maybe, just maybe, it's in the DNA of the people in this region. They are not the ones to accept a raw deal, be it from the government or the armed forces.

The second season was hosted in south Africa as India had general election so the country government could impart sufficient security to the players. Format was not changed as compared to its 2008 season. In captaincy of Adam Gilchrist, Deccan Chargers won the 2nd edition of IPL. Matthew Hayden won orange cap with 572 runs in his bag. R.P. Singh’s purple cap helped Deccan Chargers to lift the trophy. First time seven and a half minute time out break was introduced in tournament in the middle of each innings.

It was a very consistent team and played really well but still couldn’t win the trophy as they were defeated by the Rajasthan Royals also known as the orthodox. Rajasthan Royal didn’t had many famous players still they won the trophy and marked the level for the IPL. Other teams like Kolkata knight Rider’s did really well which had many famous players and well experienced too. Opening batman Brendon McCullum hits first 100 of Indian Premiere League and took his team to the winning side on the day.

MANGAL PANDAY- THE WARRIOR

The First War of Independence (1857-58) was the first general widespread uprising against the rule of the British East India Company. The Doctrine of Lapse, issue of cartridges greased with animal fat to Indian soldiers, introduction of British system of education and a number of social reforms had infuriated a very wide section of the Indian people, who rose in revolt at a number of places all over India. The East India Company was brought under the direct rule of the British Crown as a result of this uprising. Of the very large number of freedom fighters, who led the struggle, four are being commemorated through the present series, which is a part of the larger series on India's Struggle for Freedom, Mangal Pandey, a resident of Ballia, in Uttar Pradesh, was a soldier in the army of the British East India Company. At the time of the First War of Independence, the company introduced new rifles, which used animal fat for greasing the cartridges. Influenced by the example of his compatriots in Berhampur, Mangal Panday refused to use the greased cartridges and broke into open mutiny on March 29, 1857, at Barrackpore near Calcutta and urged his comrades to join him.
Surrounded by guards and European Officers, he tried to commit suicide by shooting himself and was seriously wounded. He was court- martialled on April 6, and hanged at Barrackpore on April 8, 1857.
Today is the day, the hero of FIRST WAS OF INDEPENDENCE got independence from british rule.

How Soap Cleans??

Soaps are sodium or potassium fatty acids salts, produced from the hydrolysis of fats in a chemical reaction called saponification. Each soap molecule has a long hydrocarbon chain, sometimes called its 'tail', with a carboxylate 'head'. In water, the sodium or potassium ions float free, leaving a negatively-charged head.

Soap is an excellent cleanser because of its ability to act as an emulsifying agent. An emulsifier is capable of dispersing one liquid into another immiscible liquid. This means that while oil (which attracts dirt) doesn't naturally mix with water, soap can suspend oil/dirt in such a way that it can be removed.

The organic part of a natural soap is a negatively-charged, polar molecule. Its hydrophilic (water-loving) carboxylate group (-CO₂) interacts with water molecules via ion-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding. The hydrophobic (water-fearing) part of a soap molecule, its long, nonpolar hydrocarbon chain, does not interact with water molecules. The hydrocarbon chains are attracted to each other by dispersion forces and cluster together, forming structures called micelles. In these micelles, the carboxylate groups form a negatively-charged spherical surface, with the hydrocarbon chains inside the sphere. Because they are negatively charged, soap micelles repel each other and remain dispersed in water.

Grease and oil are nonpolar and insoluble in water. When soap and soiling oils are mixed, the nonpolar hydrocarbon portion of the micelles break up the nonpolar oil molecules. A different type of micelle then forms, with nonpolar soiling molecules in the center. Thus, grease and oil and the 'dirt' attached to them are caught inside the micelle and can be rinsed away.

Although soaps are excellent cleansers, they do have disadvantages. As salts of weak acids, they are converted by mineral acids into free fatty acids:

CH₃₍CH₂)16CO₂^-Na⁺ + HCl → CH₃(CH₂)16CO₂H + Na⁺ + Cl^-

These fatty acids are less soluble than the sodium or potassium salts and form a precipitate or soap scum. Because of this, soaps are ineffective in acidic water. Also, soaps form insoluble salts in hard water, such as water containing magnesium, calcium, or iron.

2 CH₃(CH₂)16CO₂^- Na⁺ + Mg²⁺ → [CH₃(CH₂)16CO₂^-]2Mg²⁺ + 2 Na⁺

The insoluble salts form bathtub rings, leave films that reduce hair luster, and gray/roughen textiles after repeated washings. Synthetic detergents, however, may be soluble in both acidic and alkaline solutions and don't form insoluble precipitates in hard water. But that is a different story...
