The story of the "Unsold"..!

It looks like I am still in the "Cricket nets". This has nothing at all to do with improving "cricketing techniques. I am just trying to "warm up" to deliver "googly" that I hope will set some reasoning to wipe out the "wrong ones" that is consuming the passions of all on the other side of the "boundary".

Every one knows that cricket no more is a gentleman's game. Over the years "OD" matches have taken priority over "Test Cricketing". Now with the emergence of IPL series, "cricketing" has come to become the most highly "staked" business venture.

The IPL-3 bidding results is truly hurting and disappointing to all of us "cricket loving" millions across the world. Our sentiments may remain hurt since we will not be able to watch the cool headed "Pakistani" batsman "Misbah-ul-Haq" batting under pressure. We will also miss the privilege of watching the "Boom Boom Afridi" in action. "Arfidi" incidentally is one among the only three cricketers in the history of "ODS" to have achieved 5000 runs and 200 wickets. In short we in India will be sadly missing the "Pakistani cricketers" in action in the up coming IPL-3.

The "stake holders" who are the "owners" of the "IPL" events cannot 'wish away' their business angle even if it is assumed that "cricket" is their true passion. We all know that it was Pakistan's "political decision" when they refused to permit their players to play at "IPL-2" last year. However today it is purely a "business reasons" of the "stake holders" that is keeping away the "Pakistani players" from IPL-3.

I totally agree with "Shilpa Shetty" when she said that "Rajasthan Royals" were not convinced about the availability of "Pakistani players". Looking at the global scenario of "terrorism" I think it was a 'prudent' "business decision" and specially so when the world knows that "cricketing" under the "IPL" flag will always remain more of a serious "business venture" than a "game of chance". Well at the end of it all, what the "IPL" will take home will always remain a story "unsold"..!

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...
