26th May 2013: supposed
to be IPL final and instead the focus is on the controversies; be it spot
fixing, betting, arrests and many more.
IPL was a monster which was created by BCCI.
It all started with players
being involved in spot fixing but the real blow on the face came with owners
involvement – they say, it’s just a tip of iceberg…if this is so ugly, then dare you imagine the reality. Cricket in India is
considered as religionand if spot fixing by the players was outright betrayal then
with owners, celebrities and top authorities involvement in fixing / betting isnothing but a crime against religion! The ultimate question which
one encounters more often than not is back on the door step – What is in it for
me? Not once the sponsors,
organizers, the who’s who of Indian Cricket would have thought in wildest of
their dreams that in Cricket crazy Nation Cricket itself would take a hard
hitting! It’s time to clean up the sport once and for all, and if not now then God save Indian Cricket!
Credibility can be restored.
But, what about the betrayal? IPL – is a Money making
institution. Respective franchise owners, players, broadcaster, media, advertising
agencies, five star / seven stars hotels, ground staff each one involved
directly with the sport was walking with a smile until once again the spot fixing saga shocked the
biggest beneficiaries – Fans across who have loved the Game of Cricket to the
core. Billions were betrayed yet
again for few lakh of Rupees…
Two of them were promising
new comers, one was a member of world cup winning squad. All three however, had
one thing in common
They were old enough to know
right from the wrong!
They were young enough to
have lot of cricket left in them! And yet, the got hooked to
the biggest evil of all – Money! The law will take its
course. Lawyers of those accused will thrive on biggest wepon “Innocent until proven
guilty” But after going through
number of evidences which Delhi police have presented so far, one can’t help
but think… of Mens Rea - “ACTUS NON FACIT REUM NISI MENS SIT REA”
THERE WAS A MIND AT FAULT BEFORE THERE WAS A CRIME!
The mind for one knows –
The
game which has shown Sreesants have also shown the Dravids… but heart will it
overcome the betrayal?
Relation with Ex for one could be neutral but ever since partition every effort to establish good ties with Pakistan have always gone in Vain…. (Mostly from there side) The polls in Pakistan said it was historic election for the People of Pakistan as nation went out to elect its new Prime Minster. The top contenders running for the post were Imarn Khan’s Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf, Yousaf Raza Gillani’s Pakistan People Party and Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (N) Well the polls said it is Nawaz Sharif who have won and all set for third time as PM.
On number of occasion through the interviews prior to election Mr. Sharif said he’d like to see good relationship building with two countries. More of trades and less of terrorism.. Well going by the History…. One would say there’s less of hope but, hey who knows the Man would just stand by his Name. Congratulations Nawaz Sharif, may you bring peace, harmony not just in your country but India as well.
Till couple of days back men,
women, boys, girls, black, white, Hindus of the world, Muslims of the world were
unaware of such entities and suddenly death got them the status. Media as usual took it to a different
level, the college kids and– Human right
organizations condemned the manner in which these Men were killed. And finally the biggest hypocrites
the Government of respective countries – who could have got these Men back alive,
got them back in absolute sleep!!
Where was the Government, the
Human Right Organizations when families of these convicts were running from pillar
to post begging for their safety?
As many as 1,185 Indians are still
serving a lengthy term in prisons across Pakistan. Many of whom are innocent fishermen /sailors.
Who will ensure their safety?
Will government evertake any cognizance
or is revenge, the candle light protests only an answer! May their souls rest in peace!
Friday…. For over ages been considered the most important day in a life of an actor/(s)! The fate of an actor largely
depends on the day’s outcome… It’s that day which either makes you a superstar
or shatters all hopes!!!
They say 80’s was the worst decade
for Indian Cinema. The actors who had crossed their prime were still seen doing roles of a chocolate
hero. There was violence and movies were unwatchable….
It was during that time on
Friday 29th April 1988 came in movie which made both the actors
overnight stars but most important gave Indian cinema a new face.
Amidst the plot it was this
song "Papa Kehte Hain" which introduced young Amir Khan in role of
Raj and then introduced a girl which carried electrifying smile - Juhi in the role of Rashmi.
QSQT had a romantic storyline
and a sad Climax… The image of Raj
running up the hill, killing himself for sake of love is still fresh in the
minds of many. It got us in tears then, it bring tears even now!
Undoubtedly even after 25 years
the movie, the songs makes us nostalgic.
"QSQT" had an impact and remains
first of its kind, a timeless movie for our generation!!
This one from the movie has
been my favourite track for yearsss….
How often
have we heard of a convict who walked away without any capital punishment in
spite of being a Murderer?
RCB V PWI
was supposed to be an IPL 2013 outing. But, it actually turned out to be a Murder on a Cricket
Ground.
There were tens of thousands who witnessed this carnage and yet the perpetrator named Chris Gayle walked away with applauds from all quarters!!! Gayle set
new records in motion –fastest century in the history of
professional cricket. 100 in just 30 balls and then followed by 17 sixes which also
was a record in t – 20. Congrats Gayle…
For the rest of IPL franchises – Sodomy against will is also a Rape – Beware!
