Indian Reality...A Sabotage !!

"Have you received the invitation?Is Salman invited?" Baffled and surprised by what I have written?Need not b'coz these lines are the main headlines of all leading newspapers and news channels covering Abhi-Aish wedding.

Sad to know but this is the modern day truth.Our media is not interested in covering the real issues concerning the common man. Instead they are busy highlighting trivial issues like wedding of two actors and raising them to the stature of demigods.

Aish &Abhi may be proficient and famous in their profession but then there are so many others who are well-known in their respective areas of competencies but do all of them get the same treatment by media?The answer is big ‘NO’ b’coz every name does not sell and who other than media knows it better.After all in today’s world everything comes down to money and that is what these people, apt at the skill of writing and projecting are concerned about.

Today our actors have been raised to a position where they have become self confessed gods and hats off to media for this.These people who probably contribute least to the society in terms of its upliftment and welfare and are biggest tax evaders enjoy the front page coverage by newspapers.This may sound trivial issue to many people but this kind of attention to such insignificant issues leads common people to diverge from the real problems of illiteracy, poverty, female feotocide etc. our country faces today.The picture which one gets of India after reading such news is very rosy but does it project real India? No, b’coz India is gripped with problems in plenty.

This article is an attempt to tell the press that the power which pen has given it ‘Please do not misuse’.Try making common people hero by addressing the issues related to their needs and thus work towards the true progress of India which will glitter in the eyes of every Indian and not only in the diamond ring worn by Aishwarya on her wedding.Please do not sabotage the reality.

Cricket ...Sports or Business ?

The recently concluded Indian Premier League was considered to be one of the most successful events in the history of World Cricket.With Millions of crores of rupees going into the tournament with every player being payed around a crore atleast, eyebrows have been raised about the IPL... Many have questioned the promotion of cricket in our country thru the IPL....Crtics say cricket is a mere business rather than a sport in India.
Yes true it seems the men responsible for running the sport is doing business....if not then why not r promises being kept of promoting cricket in the rural areas....why dont we find talents arising from places like north east,jammu & kashmir etc...r not they part of india? Nothing has been done to make the Ranji Trophy at par with the English County nor the Aussie Sheffield Shield.When the Sharad Pawar led BCCI faction came to power a lot of promises were made but hardly a few has been kept...Corruption still exists in the BCCI.One of the bigger issues that Indian Cricket suffers from is the wastage of money...Every foreign tour we'll find the BCCI president or some of his associates accompanying the team...Do they really need to do this? Some say they go to promote indian cricket or to improve relations with the other cricket boards and so on...well who better than the cricketers themselves as our cricket ambassadors ?
A lot has been said that the BCCI would promote other sports along with cricket...we will do this,we'll do that...did they really do anythn? the answer is "no"...

With so many drawbacks and flaws in our cricket administration its high time that someone responsible comes into the cricketing arena and promote sports rather than doing business...how can the cricketers earn crores whereas our soldiers fighting with their lives at stake earn a meagre few thousands??? Questions are being raised day & night but most of them remains unanswered !! we need administrators rather than politicians to run cricket in India...the earlier people understand the better it is...or else who knows one day we'll see the BCCI floating shares in the BSE or NSE claiming itself as BCCI Pvt Co Ltd !!!

JU...My 2nd home !!

Jadavpur University- in short J.U. Thats where i belong to. Hardly ever i imagined that one day i'll be a JU'ite but that did becum a reality..... ofcourse it was that one particular day that made me change my mind and switch over from St. Xaviers to JU...
A decent score in my HS let me get into Xaviers - a fasciantion 2 me at that time.. i must admit... 3 days at Xaviers...my patience ran out. I realised this place was not for me..but then again i had no option. Bt a new door may emerge antym in life... And so it did for me... The very next day i would be a JU'ite.
I still dint want 2 leave my College of Fascination coz it was my dream to be a Xaverian... But 2de i am thankful to my dad that he was able 2 pursuade me to move into JU... which many consider to be heaven..but for me its my 2nd Home !!

Beyond KFC.. there's a BFC !!!

We all heard of the famous name KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken...the famous american based fast food joint. But few have heard of BFC - Big Boy Fried Chicken. At first glance people would consider this to be just another fast food joint... but guys u may be wrong.... BFC's a famous restaurant at HSR layout in Bangalore....it was my bangalore trip that brought me to this place...

From a distant i read KFC... but finally the right letters blinked brightly in my eyes "BFC".... Frankly speaking initially i was a bit pessimistic about this restaurant going by its name... but no... i was wrong.... The food was is one word "Lajawab".... U get to eat anything u wish to @ BFC starting from Indian to Chinese as well as burgers and fried chicken and all....

We had dinner twice @ BFC during our trip ... and both days BFC dint dissapoint me.... Onething u must try out is the Fish Biriyani which one of cousins really praised... and if u want 2 go by my choice...then dont hesitate to go for the chicken thali where u get to eat Fried Chicken,Butter Chicken,Chicken Reshmi Kabab,Chicken Curry along with pulao and tandoori roti.... sounds gr8 na ? it really does.....anythn u go for just fills ur stomach yet u would like 2 try somethn more ....
So Friends if u visit Bangalore (Bengaluru) do remember my blog and drop in at BFC at the HSR layout......
