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"!..

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is...
