When the Heart “Bat” the “Brain” take the “Beatings”

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 'cricketing' went under the hammer. Money, lust for power and roguish arrogance came to rule the game both in and off the pitch. 'Cricket' became more a “stake holder’s” game and less a "team’s" endurance in the field. Money literally started growing on 'trees', 'shrubs' and 'bushes' at the 'backyards' for the "stake holders", their 'associates', and as well for "players" both on and off the field. "IPL" soon became a perfect ‘masala mix’ for the “Bollywood” and naturally so therefore the ”Rajneithi” creeped in making the “IPL” a “Money laundering “Ghat” as well a ‘clandestine’ service counter for our “Indian Political League”. Everything for this “IPL” went with 'right swing', 'good length' and 'perfect deliveries'and kept their "energy level" "boosted". However very soon a "twittering" “Tharoor” and a "foul mouthing" “Lalit Modi” "puked" the "worms". This forced all the "political parties" and "political "big wigs" to 'cover' their ‘back’ and pretend and play 'healthy'and 'ethical' for the ‘”Media”.

We may not like to extend our sympathy to “Lalit Modi”, because he is an established crook as well a shrewd business man who knows how and when to deliver a “googly”

It is however the poor “Tharoor”, who in spite of his 'deep intellect' and an enviable "excellence" in "diplomacy", faulted when it came to showing his affection to some one for whom he knew “his heart beats” little 'faster' than for the rest of his 'world' around. Some one rightly said that when “Heart” decides to “Bat” it is the “Brain” that takes the “Beating”

I am however very clear that saga of “corrupting” "worms" always 'incubates' from the stables of IPL (Indian political League)and Indian premier league is only a 'stop over' not a "destination" for "DE-worming"...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...
