Redefining Apathy …

Five years ago a state and humanity burned in the name of religion. Unsaid and unfathomable crimes were committed. The government and administration was accused for assisting this barbarism. The government retains power for five year after that incidence, even when the whole system viz the government, the law makers and the law enforcers were the main accused.

Five year later, when a large section of the population of the state still simmer in the pain of injustice and vandalism faced by them, an sting operation with the confessions of the barbarians and the talks about involvement of the administration in the roits. is captured by the media.

The timing is convenient, just before election.
Just when you feel nauseated about using the pain and death as instrument of gaining votes, there is more. The state government bans all channels showing this sting operation.

They want to blackout the past and not repair it. No ones mourning the death of humanity.

I am sure today Allah and Ram hugged each other and cried … did it rain in Gujrat?

Baffling Bulls and Bears!!

Once upon a time Sensex was a mirror of the Indian economy. Instability in government, terrorist attack and during the run-up to the budget the Sensex used to nosedive. There was a predictability of the market that gave confidence to the investors. The small investors were most affected with the ups and downs.
Now the scenario is very different as foreign investors take over the market. The Sensex in last few days soared madly, oblivious of the sentiment of Indian Economy. The reasons of such huge investment were the appreciating rupee and speculation on the stability of the US economy. But though this brought huge profits to the big players, most small investors were sidelined as they were taken aback by the market mahem.
Finally SEBI proposed to act against P-notes, lets see if this brings a proper correction and allow small investors to be play their part in the economic growth of their own country.

Vivah per Nibandh

Vivah jeevan mein mahatavpurn hota hai. Jab tak nahin hota hai, tab tak mata-pita aur rishtedar kisi aur vishay per vichar nahin karte. Un ke saath kiye hue kisi bhi vartalap ka aant vivah ke vishay mein chintan per hi hota hai.

Vivah kai prakar ka hota hai. Var vadhu ke vivah mein adhik log aate hain. var-var aur vadhu vadhu ke vivah mein jyada log, aur kabhi kabhi to parivaar bhi nahin aate..

Adhiktar log vivah ke pehle, vivah ki aor atiutsuk rehte hain. Us ke vichaar mein vivah se akelepan ka aant hota hai. Kintu vivah ke pashtyat vo vivah na karne ki salaah dete hain aur sawam ekant dhoondte hain.

Vivah per kai filmein bani hain yadi film ke aant mein vivah hoga hai to sukhmay hota hai, kitnu agar shuru mein hota hai to kai jhagde hote hain.

Indian Sports

I was ecstatic when India won the Twenty20 world championship. Leaving office early on a hectic Monday and hitch hiking to reach home in time, seemed so worthwhile when Sreesanth took that catch.

I wanted to express the euphoria the very next day in my blog because I was scared of the India-Australia ODI series and worried that my emotions will sound irrelevant very soon.

I was sure it would happen and it happened.

Listening to the entire discussions of our esteemed commentator’s, experts and coffee room chit-chat, I have come to a definite inference. I know what is wrong with the India Cricket Team, for sure. The only problem is that a billion people watch them too closely, just too closely. It’s a sport to enjoy. Sadly people don’t realize that it all ends there. They blow hot and cold at the poor cricketers(not financially :) ).

The victory rally that happened in Mumbai, I believe was misplaced. It would have been more deserving, for the two army Major’s who died in Jammu Kashmir yesterday.

Cricket is awesome, unlike many other games, it is easy to understand; hence the mass appeal. But in India it is like that huge tree which takes the air, water and sunshine away from all other sports and not allowing them to flourish, even exist.

In recent past, the stars of Indian sports are dazzling. Be it Nehru Cup in Football,
Anand becoming the World Chess champion, Asia Cup in Hockey or World School Rugby Championship…it’s undoubtedly a party in Indian sports scenario, except we are adamant not to join it.
