Play For themselves Only

Sure, many will not agree with me on this blog.
Still, I will tell you my observations during
Cricket World Cup.

My civil contractor, who visits our house these days
as we have taken up some construction work,is a cricket
premi - I guess as he asks about scores, to his disappoint
he finds our indifference to cricket.

But, he could not control himself and requested my wife
to make him watch semi-final and final on our TV during
his visit to construction site. Thanks/Shame to media who put
India-Pakistan cricket match as 'mahaYudha'; unfortunate
(sports) journalism!

Next day after world cup as the contractor came to our house
Anjali (my wife) asked him, 'you must have enjoyed yesterday's
match.' Then he tells, 'what's to us madam? Foolishly, we spend
so much time for them forgetting they are playing for their own
(plots, cars, Bharat Ratna, money ....etc. etc. etc.)He put
a signature of distaste on his face and walked away to his
works!

A different captain is Shri Anna Hazare

A different captain is Shri Anna Hazare leading a fight against corruption.
that our country has been passing through hugely at present. Sri Anna, who on call of Swamiji
(Vivekananda) threw away his suicidal note and started his life anew to bring light
to many in his native villages. Sri Anna possess nothing but handled missions of
crores of rupees - unbelievable. Seventy two years old has taken up fast till death
with an aim to cleanse India of corruption. Hats off. Indians need to rally behind him
as they did for Cricket World Cup. It's a bigger CUP India is badly in need since
1947. Probably Swami Vivekananda is looking through Annaji for the India he dreamt of.
And Gandhiji must have whispered to Annaji wishing him the success.
Let it come TRUE ...........

My support and sincere regards to Annaji

let a chemistry make a right alloy ..........

If Ratan Tata does not share chemistry with Maran, so does he share
that with Raja? A natural question comes. Whatever, it's but it makes
any loving citizen sorry to see Tata's at this position. Jamshedji must be
turning in his grave with utter discomfort; so, also me a fan of Tatas for
their much advocated social responsibility.

Has Ratan Tata diminished the stature of Tata, betrayed the love the
countrymen, in general. Time will say, hope will not disappoint.

The question is on the mess, that prevails. The stream does not flow and the flow is
muddy. Anything, you look through this looks also so. And so, is Ratan Tata now

Let the goodness prevail in Delhi, mud gives a way to clarity and
so the original color comes out be it anybody ................ .
And at last, let a chemistry make a right alloy ..........

Congratulation Mumbai Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik!!!

I have told last about Mass Management in my blog posted in March responding to a failure of AP police in controlling a march by Telengana activists that resulted to a very indecent situation- breaking of statues of the prominent people the land of Andhra Pradesh has given to us.

I am very concerned of security at mass gatherings. For mass, I was afraid of a darshan of Lord Balaji in Tirupati. However, that brought a punishment, Lord made me standing at a stretch for 13 hours carrying my little daughter around 12 years back. Similarly, I get weird thoughts when I visit Mumbai - I'm afraid of huge population and gatherings. Infact, I love to spend time alone with books (not really technical ones!!!).

This time, I had similar fear of gatherings at Wankhade Stadium for cricket world cup final match in Mumbai. Heard about unprecedented security bandobust there; still I had a fear always. With God's grace everything went on well and Team India won the world cup. Though, I have no such fascination to cricket, still I am happy and congratulate the team. More, I was relieved, it went off well without any security problems.

Mumbai police must have worked very hard. They are unsung heroes. Incase God forbid, had there been any problem; there would have been rain of curses to them. But, in case of good work nobody told of them except the union Minister of State for Home Gurudas Kamat. I'm very much thankful to him. He understood, success story for these unsung heroes never comes to front whereas, their lapses roll the headlines. It's always true for who work at the back, away of publicity.

Congratulations to Mumbai police commissioner Arup Patnaik and his team!!!

Walking Straight

Very few can do that - walking straight. Rather
now, the walking other way is a practice.
Even, a kid now can't walk straight for the
unreasonable load of schoolbag. So, also elders have
load of their creations. Carrying a load, particularly
for the self created one, it's always difficult to
walk straight. So, it's today!

Mr.Gandhi could take on the crowd walking straight
into frenzy mass at Noakhali. The time has changed
now. One needs a heavy police bandobast to do so.
Now, even present creed will not dare looking at the
fiasco, the police faced in AP, to foil the MM.

Our country loves mass, the hallagolla of it
be it festivals, political or cricket gatherings.
Controlling mass is a vital subject of study.
Walking straight is a proven noble technique the father
of the nation has shown. Can present genre follow it?
Walking straight into the hot spot needs courage and
leadership; not that stems from Delhi!
