Call it a mere coincidence or bad luck of Dhoni & Co. that India lost all its initial matches with Pakistan after Sachin retired. One expert even commented that 'For 20 years Sachin stood between defeat and team India'. At the same time media is also showing smiling pics of Sachin while he is holidaying in Masuri :P

KINGFISHER CRASHED !!
DGCA finally revoked the license of Kingfisher Airlines. The Indian Richard Barnson after much haggling with bankers and the aviation body found himself in a tight spot and his flamboyant carrier grounded in wake of mounting debt, airport dues, salaries of employees and what not. The tycoon who once remained in news for his extravagant lifestyle and company of thinly clad chicks is now living a low profile. Another aspect of the whole story is that while it is very convenient in this country to default a few thousand crores on the name of entrepreneurship and still roam freely around with head raised high, a poor man on the other hand is denied a loan of even a few thousand bucks and is put behind bars if he defaults this measly amount due to some genuine reason.
Liquor baron must be thanking his other 'Kingfisher' for standing by him in this tough time!!

FEMININITY BRUTALISED!!
A rape happens after every 18 hours in Delhi and more than one lakh cases still pending in India. Even conviction rate is less than 25%. Sanctity of the fairer sex has been terribly violated and masculinity has assumed more grotesque forms than ever. We need harsher socio-legal provisions to deter such heinous crimes against humanity and time is also ripe to take care of the weakened moral fibre.

WHITHER A NEW INNINGS?
Indo-Pak series takes off from today from the T20 matches. While the cricket enthusiasts are excited about the upcoming matches, the series should is also seen in the larger context of Indo-Pak relations. India tried to salvage the situation by inviting Pakistan's internal minister, but he showed little interest in respecting this gesture of India and instead spoiled the broth by making unnecessary comments. It will be worth-while to watch how successful are two cricket teams in connecting hearts across the border.

THOU SHALT WAIT TILL GOD STEPS DOWN
After shameful drubbing of India against England in test series some questions have been raised. While some players were dropped summarily, other older war horses were awarded with rather softer treatment. So much so that some of the veterans have come in defence of the non-performers citing their glorious past record. But this highlights the travesty of our system. On one hand, we allegedly live in a democracy which promotes merit, on other hand we are more than willing to carry the baggage of old and redundant virtues which are hampering our progress. This double standard is evident in every field. We don't want oligarchy in administration of our sports, but are too unwilling to see our fallen heroes go at the same time. The demi-gods themselves are too sacrosanct to make way for the huge 'waiting list' talent or think of team or nation. Meritocracy is conveniently crushed by the burden of glorious past.

deGRADED
You enter the department with a smile on your face and it fades away as you see the ominous notice board - Grades are out!! Shouts the notice board. Ever wondered how often this happens?.. Just before vacations... on the day of Hostel Night... On the eve of a festival... Even on your BDay :P.

CWG-4
Here ends CWG and... the puns. However, as India pulls a good show in medal tally everyone has almost ignored Kalmadi. Hopefully shit will hit the fan again and the end of CWG will not be the end of the farce that started before CWG.
