First one dedictated to my passion....which seems to be dying

Cricket....It use to make my day and break my day as well...Indian team winning was just like some sort of energy for me...I might sound crazy but i was not able to sleep when India used to loose and I know that used to happen so often...

I have been following this recent series even when I am in US...Everything seems to be so useless.....When the series had just begun I was telling my room mates that India is going to win this series without any challenge. 3-0 and 6-0(dim chances of 5-1) hogwash...First day my roomie told me its gonna be either in Pakistans favour or draw... And I asked him how can he even think of such a improbable result...He said he might sound a little pessimistic in his guidance but then he told that everything has already been planned out and everything is rigged. I laughed at him and said God give me break...What makes u think of such highly obnoxius things...And he just told me wait and watch....

Here the series is...We all know what happend so far and by the end of day we will know whether his first prediction was right or the latter one...RIght now first one seems more probable...

Highly debatable and contentious issue to talk about...But was this really all planned or my roomie just happend to be right...It really horrenduous to see India loosing to a team which is not even full strength...Can anybody please explain this to me....How come his prediction is right...God please I hope my roomie is not a bookie or he is not into India- Pakistan cordial relationship thing....

Is BCCI making a fool out of Indian public...Are they doing what they have been asked to do.....Can this result be really a possibility with India at their best with such a inexperienced side...I just fail to understand...But one thing is sure Cricket no more makes my day and neither does it ruins my day....I try not to even look at score but I just fail to do that right now and so i at least keep track of scores....My roomie doesnt even do that....

Y is cricket religion to India...Is Team India really winning enuff for ppl to worship these players...Is Team India really doing enuff to pull 1000's of ppl to stadiums...Is team India putting their 100% to force ppl miss their offices and watch this highly addicted sport in the country...Or is that they are just puppets in the hands of Government India...

What ever may be the reason, its the ppl India who are at loss... Its ppl India with whose sentiments they are playing...Its ppl India who is getting upset with each loss...Its ppl India who are praying for our country on every morning instead of their children well being....

There are still lots of questions which are like thorns in my heart...One of them is like does team India really get upset with their loss...Anyways they are getting paid less with their loss...They will still be paid the same amount of money...We say they are professionals...

Every where in this world are paid according to how they perfom their duties...Why do we place the same principle with them....

I just fail to understand why cant I get away from cricket even after having so many doubts in my mind....Its just too easy to ask...Difficult to follow!!!!

Common Language for India

One of the blogs infuriated me so much recently that I was not able to contain myself and here I am writing about that blog. That blog was all about “How Hindi cannot be a common language”? Woahhhhhhhhhh, I was like exasperated at my highest level after reading the reasoning given in that blog. It was like some child giving glib excuses when he is not able to do something what he should have. Can be one of the most hideous and horrendous excuses. No marks for guessing that blog writer belong to which part of India….So no surprises there but yes but that TAM chauvinistic and jingoistic tone did surprise me…

So he says English should be common mode of language without realizing that less than 1% of India must be speaking English…That was really funny….People should use at least little bit of research before putting forward such claims….Blv me I am not against South India, I have spent cool 6 years of life there and there are just too many good things about Blore and Chennai….Blore is rocking and ppl out there are very well spoken and very helpful. Sometimes very honest as well… Chennai hasn’t lost its Indian culture and values which is really commendable…

But Still I just cant understand why so much dislike towards Hindi…Each and every country in the world has one language in which their ppl can talk to each other…But here I was standing in Chennai trying to communicate with Auto Rickshaw walla but to no use…Two country men can not talk to each other….Disgusting….Isnt it? I know there is one more event which I will like to recollect :

3 Indians not knowing Tamil trying to negotiate with an auto Rickshaw waala. Those 3 guys trying to work things out constantly trying to talk in either Hindi and English…Auto wala replying back only in Tamil…One of those guys got livid and said “Yaar hindi bhi nahi bol sakte kya”
Auto wala reply in Hindi(shocked) : “No Hindi, No English, ye Tamil Nadu hain yaha keval Tamil chalta hain…”

Man I got the shock of my life….Is Tamil Nadu part of India? I started having my own doubts…
Another Incident
Karunanidhi asking all the pandits in Tamil Nadu to say all those shloks in Tamil and not in Sanskrit. Can we please maintain the sanctity of the Temples?

If I recall my first days in Blore college, the first thing I recall is that I was stamped with this tag called North Indian….Blv me before this I had never heard of this North Indian and South Indian thing….I had 3 students from lower part of the country in school class and we never called them South Indians…I never knew there was term something like this….But yes that’s how ppl from upper part of the country are known in our college…They are beaten, robbed and mentally tortured by the stronger group locals…WHY? Because according to them, these north Indians do all the masti in the college, they ghumaofy all the girls, and then finally during the exams as well do well….
It was like we were doing all this in some other country…..It still pisses me off recollecting those events….
Well I am not saying all the locals exhibited this shallowness but it was on display by lots of them…There were lot of guys who were on the contrary side as well…Really good for us….

Now if I come back to that one common language thing, what do u think is the most suited common language for our diverse country…
Tamil – I guess not more than 5% of Indian population understands this language.
English – Not more than 1%
Kannada – Not more than 3%
Telgu – Not more than 4%
And so many other languages- percentage not more than 5%
Or HINDI – should be somewhere close to 60%

All of the above are my educated guesses and so please do take them as stats…

But don’t u think Hindi qualify as the most suited common language if we have to make rest of the ppl to learn some language…I guess its up to all of u to decide….


here are so many things more I want to write here but I just don’t have enough time to write…May be I’ll write about those some other time…

Please pardon me if in any way I have infuriated anybody...I dint mean to....Totally my point of view...Not even a single person my agree with this...
