"Korbo,Lorbo,Jeetbo Re"!!!

There are two IPL's almost being played around the same time.One in South Africa and the other back here on our own home pitch.
One IPL is normally branded as a gentleman's game. The other IPL is generally regarded a rogue's ball game. One IPL has set of rules that remain cardinal to the game. The other IPL may have rules but hardly remain visible. In one IPL it is essential to deliver to win. In the other IPL it is just winning that matters. In one IPL it is your stamina that monitors your score card.In the other IPL it is your nexus to goons and antisocial elements that works your vote bank. In one IPL the bowler swings the ball and the batsman drives it to cover. In the other IPL the politicians will twist the fact to cover their misdeeds to drive in the votes. In one IPL umpiring remains the most effective watchdog to see the rules of the game are not flouted. In the other IPL umpiring remains just an eye wash to hood wink the voters. In one IPL if you are caught you are out of the game. In the other IPL if the politician is caught on the wrong foot,the umpire declares it "NO" ball. In one IPL money is the biggest stake.In the other the fate of the country remains at stake.In one IPL the players play the game to win the match.In the other IPL the politician win the match to play their game.

In the IPL being played at South Africa the the Kolkata's Knight Riders may take pride in singing their anthem "Korbo,Lorbo,Jeetbo Re". In the other IPL being played here in India the politicians will use their muscle to force the people to dance to their anthem "Maro re..Peeto re..pher Vote Cheeno..re". In one IPL only the right fit team wins the game.In the other IPL the party that wins becomes the right fit.
For Dada & King Khan their batsmen & bowlers will remain the crux for their wining the match.For the political parties and politicians the "VOTERS" will remain the victims of their Political speeches. For Dada & King Khan cricket is a sport to drive profits. For political parties and politicians "election" is a feast to keep their power game beefed up with bluffs and promises.
You can find master Blasters in cricket but you only find Bluff Masters in Politics.
Should 'WE' the "PEOPLE" make "Politics" a gentleman's game or should we continue to be a "Game" for the politicians...Think that out..?

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...
