STALE SHOW
Whether it's cricket, tennis or foot ball or badminton to much of any thing becomes a boring and stale affair for most of the viewers.Yes those who are very old, paralyzed person, or very lazy have nothing to do except watch the idiot box for entertainment might be enjoying it but any sensible men or women would definitely not like to watch every other day the same players playing against one another in different countries.There is no change in rules or no excitement in the game due to too many tournaments and huge prize money.I fail to understand why a doctor or engineer or a engine driver would have to work for twenty years or more to have the same money and assets which a player who is hardly an under graduate would get in three or four years?Some one may say -why don't you play? who prevents you from playing?But that is not the way to prove your point, just think over, just making twenty thirty runs and taking two or three wickets some one getting the salary of a medical officer or a Carpenter for working the whole month-Indian scenario!
Coming to the present Cricket- Champion's trophy at England, has been a boring affair as most of the important matches were either washed off or reduced to a 20--20 overs affairs.But MOM prize money is not reduced.There is no point of having this CT just after 73 IPL matches, as most of the players are either unfit or jaded.
Earlier days once a player retires mean the end of him but now it's the reverse, as after retirement a foot ball, cricket or tennis player earns more than their playing days.There have to be balance some where.BCCI pays its players in dollars who participate in IPL.If you have noticed that after IPL started the rupee value have gone for a toss some say if you throw a five hundred rupee note in New york, no American would pick it up because the bending down and getting a spasm would be costlier than the note.
After few months the third grade OZ cricket team will again come to India for yet another white wash but that's what Indian public would love to see, each over an opponent's wicket or a six or four hit by Indian batsman in each ball.The Government is happy as it's coffers gets full, courtesy BCCI, the money would be used in the coming election and the youth are kept busy so that they do not go to cast their votes to remove this present corrupt UPA.Over and above there are fixers and boxers to earn in billions.
That's for you, watch India getting the trophy in an one sided finals may be a 20-20 affairs like IPL?

MY INSPIRATION
*************************************************************************
But not this one.
WHY MINORITY VOTE BANKS ARE OUR
POLITICIAN’S BREAD & BUTTER?
Let’s
start with Nitish Kumar who snatched away some of the Muslim votes from RJD and
with BJP help formed the government at Bihar. A 17 years friendship was wiped
off because he has the number, an inflated Ego and Dadagiri. Suddenly he
started talking against BJP& NM after getting a huge special aid from Sonia
Gandhi from center. This is the ugly face of opportunism in politics.
Poor BJP
party had been made a jackass similar to the Tom& Jerry cartoon show where
the huge dog is fooled repeatedly by a small cat. This April fool method
started with Mayabati at UP, after her term as CM ended, a BJP minister was
supposed to be the next CM as per their agreement but Mayabati pulled the
carpet and since then BJP is going downhill with each election in UP. Similar
thing happened at Odisha, Karnataka and now in Bihar.
If a
political party has somewhat Hindu inclinations then it’s fundamentalist and
non secular party, that too in a Hindu majority country. What a shame on
Hinduism!
In 1987
more than thousands of Sikhs were killed after the killing of the then PM of
India. That Sikh massacre was the master mind of some of the congress
politicians who have been convicted by the courts, which happened much before
the Godhra killing. Congress has tried with all types of investigative agencies
to implicate NM but have failed miserably. In the recent Municipality election
BJP won all 18 seats, out of which 16 are Muslim candidates, what one can deduce
from that? NM is anti Muslim or non secular?
The so
called secularism actually does not exist with any party in India, you go to
the south India there have been huge conversation of Hindus to Christians and
these converted mass vote for the party so that they get all the benefits in
the name of secularism. The recently elected Government of Karnataka
immediately declared lifting the ban on sale of beef, why you know ?They won by
margin of only 2% vote more than the other party just by promising the minority
about lifting of this ban in advance before the election. This is secularism
for you.
I have
no grudge against any party but telling others as non secular and doing the
same practice in different states is what—Pseudo secularism is. Congress party
unleashed the Maoist in non congress states but once it back fired and their
own party people were killed recently then only they realized the gravity of
the situation that now this group will target politicians instead of security
forces. Certain neighbouring states of Odisha are the two main breeding grounds
for these internal terrorist of India but there is an unofficial order in both these
states --to kill anyone suspected to be a Maoist. That way the number of
destructive activities has been controlled in those states but that operation
forced these groups to migrate to Odisha and Chhattisgarh to create further
problem in these states.
With
regional politics India will have a tough time ahead as the cocktail ministry
would go for bribing, horse trading; black mailing and money for those parties
who have more ministers at center as a result of which there will be more miss
utilization of aids, more corruptions and the development work will be only an
eye wash for the public. Ministers will become richer and regional parties will
be stronger at the cost of the nation. When the congress party which was in
power then, killed thousands of Sikhs as a revenge for the killing of the then
PM of India, nothing happened to those blue eyed criminals, who were
identified, convicted but moving freely as central minister because they are
secular party where as NM who has not been proved to be the responsible for the
killing at Godhra is repeatedly labeled as fundamentalist?? What logic! Last
question about Godhra,—who instigated the killing of the karsevak? Who was the
Railway minister then? The bottom line is we Hindus are cowards and self
centered, otherwise why a country’s politicians with more than 75% Hindus are
afraid of two very small minorities communities who decides the outcome of the
election, be it at state level or at center? The reason being they are united a
lot and vote en mass for a particular party as per the directive of their
religious head where as Hindus from the beginning of history are divided and
allow outsiders to invade the country and rule them.
What
public come to know is through TV and newspapers which are fortunately for the
ruling party and unfortunately for the country are in the hands of the ruling
party. One simple example, ‘NM minister sent to jail’ but at the same time no
news paper mentions about a congress minister sent to the same jail for similar
offence. The BJP minister was not a minister when the charges were framed
against him but just now to draw the public attention the lower court gives the
verdict.
Those
who think we are a secular, democratic, non apartheid country should visit
different parts of the India to have a firsthand knowledge of the situation
which prevail in our country. The press and media are with certain parties and
write as per their direction hence the public gets distorted view and image of
things happening around the country. BJP is slowly getting disintegrated due to
wrong decisions at wrong time, for a coalition politics one has to learn from
congress.
Last but
not the least, Nitish Kumar took 17 long years to realize that BJP is not
secular, but I have simple question? Is Congress secular, or SP or BSP or DMK
secular? The country and vote bank are divided on these lines-- male &
female, Hindu non Hindu, Hindu again divided as upper caste, lower caste,
creed, colour, then Muslim and Christian, this is secularism for you. ‘Bharat
Mata key Joy’
Bye for
now.

SANJOYSATPATHY & CRICKET
CRICKET RECORDS BY SANJOY KUMAR SATPATHY:
Played Inter district cricket tournament at the age of 14
years from Parlakehmundi.He represented five districts during his cricketing
career ie.Mayurbhanj, Paralakehemundi, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar and Rourkela. Those
days taking hundred wickets were a difficult task for any bowler which he
achieved in shortest of period.
On first class debut he took six wickets. He could not keep
the promise which he showed during early part of his career. Some say he
changed his action very frequently as a result he lost the lethal late out
swing which was his wicket fetching ball.
In an all India inter university match at Patna he was
involved in 16 dismissals against BHU.He took four wickets in one over in a
university match. Sanjoy represented Utkal University for three years. Rourkela
Steel Plant for five years and state for 23 times in Ranji trophy matches
Satpathy represented all India HSL team in Sheesmahal cricket
tournament, and also in Frank Worrall tournament at Lucknow.
He represented East Zone cricket team against West Indies and
Ceylon in the year 1974-75.
He was involved in a World record for dismissing a district
team for two runs in the prestigious Kalahandi cricket tournament in the year
1972-73.Sanjoy along with his other partner G.Shankar (Played for Mysore
University) demolished the other team (Keonjhar) within 4.3 over’s. In a first class Ranji trophy match against Assam Sanjoy and his new ball partner Sujit Mohanty.M.A reduced the opposition to 0 for 4 wickets and 26 for six when umpire's arrogant attitude deprived Orissa the match.He retired
from first class cricket in 1978 to concentrate on his medical profession and
went on to become a Gold medalist at BHU in Internal Medicine in the year 1983.
He says playing those days was a curse, as neither the
parents, teachers nor the society liked any one one playing a game from a learned
family.

DIFFERENT VIEW--CHILD LABOUR
********************************************************************
DIFFERENT VIEW ON CHILD LABOUR:
What is child labour? A child working in a movie is not a
child labour? Young Children below 14 to 17 years playing different games isn’t
it a child labour? Children participating in different dance and music
competition, isn’t it not a child labour?
India’s population is increasing at a very faster rate than
the population of rabbits in the forests of India. Is it possible to give
employment to everyone if he or she is a graduate? In low socioeconomic class
the child of 10 to 12 years or more goes with his or her father/mother to the
place of work and starts learning the trade which may be from waving carpets, stitching,
hair cutting, cycle or car repair technique, so what is the problem with the
public or the social activists? By the time ‘Munna’ or ‘Munni’ become 18 years
he or she must have mustered the art of his or her father’s or mother’s
trade, so you are getting an expert without investing anything. Most of these
child labours are school drop outs because they have no interest or inclination
to study as after class 8 standard in government schools no free food is
supplied in mid-day meals. Sachin Tendulkar, Jennifer Capriati, Mustaq Mohammad,
Douglas, Nadia Comaneci ,recently youth Olympics and many more played the game
at a very young age and became world famous only because they could master the
trade at an early age, isn’t it a form
of child labour? China trains it small children through torture for the
Olympics, is it not child labour? All eyes are on India be it rape or child
labour as if it’s only country with these problems.
Actually the problem is neither with the parents nor with the
society but with the western media and few of our pseudo moralist sympathizers of children.
Western people are worried because we get cheap product because
of school drop outs managing the show in small road side hotels or garages or
other places. Just take for example if the father teaches how to make Eco
friendly earthen pots through our Indian way of making, then tell me where is
the problem? The child goes to school and on holidays and during his or her
free time helps the father or mother; do you call it technical training or
child labour?Sending a 5 year child to school on a winter morning with 10 kg bag, isn't it a form of child torture/labour? If participating in a TV show or participating in football,
cricket, swimming, chess or other tournament is not child labour then learning
the art of making idols from earth or stones is also not child labour!
Yes to become famous some people show their concern for these
children at road side so that they can get some rewards or awards but those
same persons do not hesitate to kill those small children sleeping on foot path
under their imported car wheels. It’s no body’s business if the parents have no
objection to their children learning the trick of the trade and helping them to
earn a few more bucks. Education is needed but degrees for jobs are a bogus
thing. There are majority of children who simply do not want to read but play
or help their parents, so let’s encourage them. Majority of car or scooter
mechanics in India are not qualified but learn the trick from their guru or
parents.
To conclude let’s not shout about this child labour business
but be practical and go in depth to the cause and beneficial effects of this
highly criticized condition of the western media called-- child labour.
