IPL vs IPL..howzzat..?

-
There is no choice.This IPL series has to be played here on the home pitch 'India'. 'You' 'Me' and 'Us' defiantly cannot afford to miss these matches that will be played across the country beginning this month.The stakes are our collective 'fate' and not the Bollywood biggie's lust called 'money'. The Outcome of this match therefore is going to be very crucial for all of us. Yes this "Indian Public league" (IPL)team is going to be 'You' 'Me' and millions of 'Us'..and we will be the batting team. "Indian political League"(IPL) consisting of various national & regional political parties,including herds of hungry 'fronts. They will put together remain both a great and notorious fielding team. Swinging and spinning the ball they will tempt us into hitting the loose deliveries. No doubt it will be a match of 'unequals',yet we should keep in mind that in this cricket..it is this 'minority' team that wields the clout. So let us remain very focused. We need to avoid hitting loose balls and getting caught on the 'long on boundary' or the 'out field'. It is going to be an attacking field,therefore we need to be very cautious when we pull the ball through the 'slips' and when we try to take a shot to the 'cover' or 'gully'. Don't lift your bat on 'silly point'. We all need to be in our own way a 'Sunil Gavaskar',a 'KapilDev',a 'Mohammad Azaruddin', a 'Bishan Singh Bedi',a 'Sourav Ganguly',a 'Rahul Dravid', a 'Sachin Tendulkar'. We all need to play a captain's inning in the this IPL series.Only then we will be able to steer away our "Ship India" from getting grounded into the turbulent sea of regionalism,communalism and castesm. Once this is achieved I am definite, India will be able take a swipe at "terrorism & terrorists and drive them away into the ocean bed for the wales to feast on.
My dear 'brothers and sisters' of "INDIA" it is time for us to walk away from the stadium into the 'pitch' and bat like 'M S Dhoni' and choose the 'Right Team' to Lead 'Team India' in the coming five year series.I am sure we will not have to go to south Africa to watch the next IPL cricket match.
For now "it's time to move on..aur bolo"!..

AFRICAN SAFARI.....a Book Review

-
Image
  "African Safari" is an intriguing title for a book that nowhere talks of  any expeditions to animal kingdom in the jungles of Africa. This book is about a cigar smoking business tycoon , a multibillion and multinational conglomerate whose business interest goes beyond his inherited empire of liquor and beer industries and spreads across industries  as diverse  as Airlines, Pharma, Paints, textiles to name a few. The media across the globe dub him as "King of good times".  "African Safari " is the story of "Rana Kapoor" the business tycoon and his business ventures in the French speaking regions of Africa, a continent that is fast emerging as world's big time growth market. The book takes us through  intricacies of clinching  business deals.  It talks about how political lobbying and networking with people in high places and bankers collaborate and become a blue print for M&A  stories. The book tells you that stories of business ventures

Giving words to my thoughts...

I  am returning to this space after 2 years and past 242 posts .It doesn't mean that I have lost my itch  for writing. I have always loved  scribbling words that give voice to the way I look at a situation, or to the way I feel about anything on the ground and under the sky. . My   view  may or may not matter  to the rest. However for me it remains a  mark of my own creativity. My creativity is more about visualizing things that  seldom see the light of the day.   Some call this  “Daydreaming” . I don't mind if people call me  a “wandering mind.” Neither I am bothered about the stigma called  “laziness” attached to it.  I see it as a tonic that energizes me  to think  beyond the realm of possibility For instance no matter how much  ever  I would have   chased my dreams  of becoming a corporate tycoon  I would never have been one simply because I would then lose the privilege and intimacy of being around with familiar and friendly faces sipping beer in crowded bar. I don't l

Who will win BIHAR .. 'Let the last Vote get counted'

This Bihar election is the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the time the sun sets today , the dawn  of the next political regime in the State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or  the "Sarkar Raj" will continue  with  their  "All is Well " narrative for another 4 years. Will PM Modi, the over used "trump card" political campainer for NDA  be able  to push  back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another four year terms or will he   concede defeat without playing and  crying foul.  Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the politics of vendetta and vilifying the  poor will continue. The problem of unemployment, the
