20 - 20

So the media makes us believe everyone in this country is gung-ho about 20-20???

These TV guys have no news to report these days, hence its cricket for more than 1 week. And why are these guys going ga-ga over just one win ??? These guys won one chota mota cup, and there is victory parade for 30 kms ??? What the xxxx ? Just imagine the plight of office goers in Mumbai.

Even me watched the final match. At times felt it was match fixing. But on the other side, isn't it diffcult to convince so many players to keep their mouth shut in case of match fixing ?? How do they do it ? If there is match fixing, surely there'll be one guy or the other waiting to disclose this to the media and make money.

And whats up with these CMs ?????? Whose father what goes, seems to be the order of the day. 5 lakh for each player announced by each CM in their respective states. What for?? These guys did not go to the moon and come back ? These very guys were booed at just 6 months ago when they exited the cricket world cup in the very first round??? Where were you Mr. CM then ? Thinking of filing one RTI appplication for these freebies being handed out to players for nothing.
There were hardly anyone at the Airport to receive these players and now all of a sudden, just bcoz of a victory look how many are out there?

Just reminds me of
"In prosperity your friends know you, in adversity you know your friends"

On the other side, there are floods in various parts of south India, Bihar, North east and these media guys just dont report a single piece of news. They just report of water loggin in Kolkotta?? Which is man made.


On this regular flooding, me think that these areas which get flooded annually are the areas where rain water or excess water flows naturally. Inspite of knowing this if people grow crops and settle in this basin area, its obvious that they will lose their crop and shelter when it floods. Why doesnt the government warn these people in advance ? They spend crores of rupees on these weather dept, forecasting, ISRO, what not ??
