IPL SHOWS THE WAY

IPl has been in the news for the last two weeks.

IPL has shown how the corrupt minds work and how a nation can be fooled by a group of people claiming to be the face of emerging India.

First, the focus was on Shashi Tharoor , a minister of state in the government and his lady friend who supposedly received shares of Kochi Cricket Team for doing little or nothing. She neither had the aptitude nor the experience for which she was being paid an obscene amount of money presumably on the recommendation of Tharoor. Which off course he denied and insisted he was indeed washed in Milk and therefore, would not resign from the public office he held and which of course he resigned from with a few hours .

The Villain behind all this was the IPL commissioner Lalit Modi, himself a often tainted man who flouted every possible rule to make money and be in news. He too denied any wrongdoing and insisted he was washed in Milk too and would not resign from his public job. In his case he was thrown out for too many wrong doings and underhand and behind the curtain dealings. It seems he gifted away shares in several teams to his relatives, friends and to himself and yet claiming he never charged any penny from IPL for the great job he did for the league. Another face of rampant corruption.

Then there were politicians, members of the governing council of the BCCI, the grand mom of the cricket bodies in India who too were accused of being busy dipping their hands and filling their deep pockets on different occasions. What a shame.

Journalists of National Channels had a great time twisting and turning events and stories which helped them claim to be the first with the"news". Must say these channel were just brain washing the nation or perhaps confusing people by giving conflicting reports about the scamsters and the innocent in the IPL drama. But if you had watched carefully , these channels wee sitting on the fence all along lest they annoy any politician and invite his wrath. I don't know what to call this kind of journalism but definitely the nation was fooled with incoherent and noisy reporting.

I am sure even after all the dirt that has been thrown about this IPL, nothing will happen and no changes will be brought about for the politicians and biz men f this country are expert of making the nation forget this fast and move onto to the next episode of corruption.

India: a nation of corrupt and corrupt practices and definitely not shining.

The beginning of a chapter

I have often thought of blogging but never knew how to go about it even though friends and well wishers said it was as easy as making tea with a tea bag.

Now, here I am with my first posting.

There are two things that bother me and always attract my attention with a great amount of distrubance ; 1) corruption 2) dishonesty.

India is perhaps the capital and home to corruption. One may say we are above many countries such as in africa or parts of asia where the corruption has reached absolute levels. Corruption is always 100 percent .

In every aspect of our lives , the corruption has made home. It is sad to say that those who profess dedication to eliminate the corruption are somewhat washed by it.

We have to begin somewhere.

here I am in the midst of it and trying my bit to clean up.

Let us see if I succeed.

Any suggestion is welcome.

It needs to be joint and combined effort.
