Wah Kya Haath Hai..!

Their performance in the just concluded '5' year series was dismal.They failed to give both a responsible and safe governance.Well so what.? The 'Aam Admi' still decides to stretch his hand all out to bail them out for the next round of '5'year series. Is not this very true..!
Hockey may remain the national game of "chak they India" but it is cricket that runs in the blood of the 'Aam Admi'. The average 'Aam Admi' is a street level 'cricketer'. The maximum he would have played would be either for his "gali" or his "basti", yet he can rattle out cricketing statistics at the drop of the hat.
When it comes to national politics he prefers to lean on test cricketing strategy rather bank on quick 'T20' 'IPL' series. The "Congress" may have a record of bad scoring on the pitch. However their consistency of staying in the field is amazing.
They may have bowled short deliveries. Also they may not be quick in running between the wickets. However their ability to hold on to the bat till the time there is an 'appeal' for bad light is commendable. The best thing about the team "Congress"..is the 'captaincy'. Their "coach" by default remains team's non playing captain when it comes to setting up the 'field' and deciding the 'batting' orders.In short the team knows when to 'swing' and when to 'duck' a ball. Perhaps these are some of the lead lines which allowed the 'Aam Admi' to decide on the team "Congress" for the coming up "Lead India" '5' year series.

Now will the gamble pay off..?. Well that's a "stake" the Aam Admi is so used to taking. After all he knows 'cricket' is a game of chance. Incidentally my gut sense says this time the 'Aam Admi' may remain "Lucky" by chance. Who said dreams don't come true..? Here look at my hand and say "Wah Kya Haath Hai"...! and look at me "Kya cool Hai Ham..!

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

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
