Laughter angle-3

Along with cricket , let me look at some of the issues that created a buzz in the media in the recent past.

Ramsethu :

This is the bridge which ,according to Hindu mythology, was believed to be constructed by lord Rama &co. long back between India and Sri Lanka. Probably the bridge was build only for one up and down journey(to get Sita back) and hence it is partly ruined coming into the present modern era, giving scope for speculations whether it is man-made or naturally formed. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) did some experiments and after taking few readings concluded that it is not man-made and revealed the same to govt. which then gave a green signal to Dredging corporation of India to remove the remaining's of Rama's construction as it reduces the distance between east and west coasts for the ships which are used to circumnavigate Sri Lanka.

As this is a project involving lumps of money and a few regional benefits, Tamil nadu govt. , dis reputing the beliefs and faiths of millions, is firing all guns to get the project done and the chief minister, who is an atheist himself went on saying following

“Who is that Rama? In which engineering college did he graduate to becomeanengineer? When did he build that bridge? Is there any evidence [to show thathebuilt Ram Sethu]? No.”

A reply from VHP would be along the lines --He is the son of Dasrath maharaj and graduated from school of ocean engineering with specialization in building bridges across oceans.

Power transfer fiasco in K'taka :-

This is a gentleman's deal between the 2 parties BJP and JD(s), that were the part of coalition govt, to rule the state for equal time periods. After their reign, JD(s) said a 'no' to hand over the baton to BJP. As if all the political parties are ethical and politicians live up to their words, the leaders of BJP termed it as worst ever betrayal.

Now an interesting question is: why did JD(s) refused to step down :-

1)They love to serve the people .
2)This would enforce elections and they would be the front runners as the local polls suggested it.
3)As they are humans and that too politicians, they are obsessed with power and their egos acted as barrier.
4)They did not get their due 'returns'.Whatever the answer is, I do not see any other political party to do otherwise as no politician is ready to say 'come brother, have my seat! '.

G.O. 610 in A.P :

This is an order to filter out non-locals from a region (intended for telangana ) , so that native people will alone get the jobs . While the world over is pining for diversity in the domain , here is an order intended against it. And whatever progress they are looking for by implementing this order is unrealistic as Hyderabad would have never attained its present shape without people pouring in from different parts of the state. Its equal to U.S. issuing a G.O. 420 and asking the Indians to pack their baggage and catch the next flight back home.

On a personal front, this Sunday I have been to a marriage ceremony in the nearby town. While I was not a big fan watching those lengthy rituals, I attend a function for the dinner section.This time around I had no choice than to remain in the function hall for the whole day as the relatives are closer to us. So, after lunch I spend time with an uncle , who is another cricket fanatic, and as a habit we checked the score to find Indians on track chasing the mammoth total. We began to grow restless unable to find a T.V to watch live action. He then went out for a smoke and I accompanied him . While all the retail outlets were closed, we found a thin population watching from outside a barber shop which is playing live cricket. He said " mmm let's go" . It's not a gesture of his kind as he held high self-regard (ask his sons, they piss in front of him) and here he penetrated through the crowd and stood by the door for 40 minutes. He left after the fall of second wicket and I continued till the end. Watching Andrew Symonds bowl on a T.V. in a barber shop , I wondered how this bloke get his hair cut. May be a string at a time.

Some facts about Aussies:

*More than injuries to themselves ,we often find them in news because of their injured spouses.
*Despite their sledging and rough appearance they held moral high ground when it comes to looking after their diseased wives and small kids.
*Aussies party harder after a defeat as it is rare to come by. No doubt, Symonds got irritated by the Indian celebrations after their T20 victory.
*If India has Big3 ,they have Big11 (physically and otherwise).

As Sreesanth continues to play a jerry withs the toms of world cricket , a gripping contest would be between him and Shoaib Akthar 'with a bat in his hand'. If a mocking smile ensued a bruised thigh, then piercing looks ,am-going -to-munch-you type of provocations will be dealt with??

This is how a back ground score sounds like.
