"Double fault" or "Silly point"

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 "hounding" and "digging" into privacy, which is absolutely "not fine".

Sania Mirza's 'Nikka' to Shoaib Malik, is not "dependent" on any umpiring decision. Marriage is a life long event and not a "Wimbledon final" or a "T20" series. Till the "wedding knot" is tied and "ijab" and "qubul" is expressed between "Sania" and "Shoaib" it is a "love all". For this time around all we can do is to wish them both all the "luck"

Finally the only thing that would interest the public is.... will "Sania Mirza" post wedding continue to remain an "advantage India" or become a "wining" for Pakistan".
However let us not forget that when it comes to "LOVE" it is the "HEART" that "matters" most and not "Double fault" and "Silly points"...

The wedding is not that important- the fact that its a controversy involving two prominent sportsmen is enough to draw as many eye-balls and increase the TRP's of news channels- the bottomline is high TRP resulting in higher advertising revenues- and not the content per se.
News channels are no more the voice of the masses-it's become another mode of entertainment.

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...
