"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..?

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
