Contradictions,controversies, mega parties,'Bollywood glitters', "long legs and short covered" "Cheer Leaders" besides some 'Sporty' moments and few "bouts" of cricketing made IPL 3 a sheer "60" days of "non stop" entertainment. Mr.Lalit Modi deserves our whole hearty congratulations" for putting up the "IPL" show with a "fine cut" publicity and an excellent "back foot" drive "executions". However Mr. Lalit Modi is currently seen "hogging" the lime light for all "wrong reasons". His achieving an enviable "run rate" and posting a "mega crore" without being neither on the "pitch" and nor running "between the wickets" is something that cannot happen without a 'proper' and 'well oiled' "umpiring pact" in place. No sensible person in his right mind can accept BCCI's claim that no other members...

You can’t live your life with ‘philosophy’ and ‘spirituality’. To remain “spirited” in life you need to ‘sail along’ with the ‘cultural norms’ that surround you. One of the ‘cultural norm’ that remains every day, every where vibrant, visible and victorious is something that we all understand but don’t speak of till some 'lid blows' somewhere, making all the media go frenzy. Yes I am referring to “corruption”. I don’t understand why we always pretend to hate “corruption”. It is an accepted common sense that “Corruption” remains prevalent as well thriving across the length and breadth of this country. “Corruption” in fact has become today for us a “GOD” of All things”. Our faith in it becomes sometimes a greater ‘force’ than our faith in our “Gods and Goddess”.” Like our “GOD and GODDESS” “corruption” also goes by different “names”. We know very well most of the things in this country hardly move without “greasing” a ‘palm’ or few. It is called “donation” when you pay it to get y...

The IPL saga of “corruption” seems to be not abating. In fact it is becoming a platform for all the “Politicians” other than the political party in power to ‘show case’ and shout about their bonding to “Honesty”. As I key in this post the cacophony and shouts of opportunist politicians are consuming media bytes. "OD" matches gave cricket a much needed ‘boost; by transforming the game into a one day package of excitement and entertainment. However this thrill and speed soon consumed some great names in international cricketing like Hansie cronje and Bob Woolmer. “Match fixing” became the order of the day as well a 'code of conduct' for the players in the pitch. Soon thereafter the cricketing format went for a major makeover and "Indian Premier League" came into being. IPL a “Lalit Modi” creation was everything about "fuzz, flash and fashion". 'Cricketing' pitch overnight got transformed into a “ramp” where one after the other great names in ...

High profile weddings do generally remain in 'twists' and 'turns' before it eventually becomes a big fat global wedding. Sania Mirza's proposed wedding to Shoaib Malik is currently drawing a "full house" media attention. It looks like our 'media' finds that "all is fine" in this country, except this "wedding", so they are putting all their "bench strength" and going "Gung-ho" in 'intruding' and 'investigating' this "wedding". It's sad that 'media' in this 'country' most of the time remains so consumed with 'irrelevancy' that it fails to catch up with 'relevant' "national" issues. She's India's tennis ace. He's a high-profile Pakistani cricketer. And they're all set to get married in Hyderabad/Dubai/Lahore....well this definitely is "news" worth covering but our media, covering this event looks more like "ho...
