"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..?

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
