"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..?

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school . Around this time my  father decided to put me into “King George Military School” .This  was a ‘day’ Boarding School exclusively for Defence personnels . It is now called “Rashtriya Military School”. There was an aptitude test which I cleared but failed the written test. I was happy, a...

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

The Blessed Curse "Nostalgic flashes" !

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
