WHY WE SUCK AT SPORTS

-
I was going to write a blog on this, but it made me so sick that I just didn't bother. It speaks for itself.

    Everyday When I open a newspaper, I feel cheated by the government and our system.This article made me feel the same...I can't laugh at it nor cry..I've realized that It's Important that being an Indian I should be more proactive when it comes to supporting ppl like Shiva Keshavan, who want to make their mark in sport other than Cricket.
    P.S - Thanks..I was not aware about it...

Election Results

The Left is gone the Left is gone. My flu is still here but the Left is gone. And if I had to choose between tolerating a fever for a few more days or tolerating the Left for a few more years I would choose the former. Here are some initial thoughts on the results, the winners, losers and the lessons we learned. I would love some comments here, because I could be way off the mark in my assessments and would love to get your perspective. Here we go  Yay for Stability - As I mentioned in my last blog I was alright with either the UPA or NDA coming in to power, but was only concerned about the partners they would have to choose. The Congress' performance took that concern and flung it out of the window. We will now have a stable government. And with no Left holding a gun to their head every time they want to do anything progressive, the UPA will be able to govern freely and hopefully implement some economic policies that the Left would not let them. The Congress - Whether you like the...

Shahrukh Khan and Security

I feel bad for Shahrukh Khan. I really do. When I get a off a flight all I want to do is just get the hell out of the airport. To be detained for two hours, questioned and not allowed to make a phone call, it must be painful. But at the same time I have to say that in the terror filled world that we live in, sometimes, each and every one of us has to go through this. Even beloved Bollywood superstars. I don't have an issue with SRK's anger, I would be fuming too. I don't have an issue with the media coverage of the event. SRK is a huge celebrity and press coverage was expected. The area that I have an issue with is when people say what happened to SRK was wrong. I firmly believe that superstar or no superstar, each person has to go through the same random checks as we all do. Today it is SRK and so people are upset. What if tomorrow it is some random celebrity from some obscure country that no one knows? At that point we would all say, what is the big deal, he should have b...

We don't deserve good leaders

-
The great thing about a democracy is that you get what you vote for. There is no confusion, no way around it, no way to say that this person should not be our leader. You get what you deserve. In India's case this applies as well. We get what we deserve. And with only 41.28% of Mumbai's voters coming out to vote on April 30th, we are going to get what we deserve again. 41.28%? Is that even a number? I was out of town this weekend (I left after voting) when a friend messaged me the turnout. I was disgusted. This is the same city that fed the country bull sh** about how we need change, how it is time for citizens to come out and take a stand, make a difference, be the change...What a crock of nonsense that was from the citizens of Mumbai. You know what the change was? 41.28% voted on April 30th which is less than the 47.15% that voted in 2004.  I am from South Mumbai, born and raised, and I have to say, we Mumbaikars are pathetic. You remember the candle light vigils post 26/11, ...
