IPL fucks the nation... [again]

As if, destroying cricket, cricketrs and busineses was not enough, IPL fucks the nation once again. Probably they are getting back at us for not cooperating with them in hosting IPL-II as we were too busy electing our new rulers etc. Perhaps its Lalit Modi's way of saying 'Fuck you India!'. 

I don't see no reason for humiliating cricketers like they were during the IPL player auction. I mean Modi literally eats, shits and dies with the franchieses. Its hard to believe he didn't know that no one will buy Pakistani players. And its even harderd to believe that the IPL gang didn't know the political impact of such a fiasco. They are politicians running the show. Now IPL is sitting pretty and the country is fielding unnecessary sir-dard due to these assholes. 

One could forget what they did had they been an innocous organization. But BCCI aka IPL are an evil organization whish is entent to kill all forms of circket just to facilitate IPL/T20 interest. They want to kill Test crickets because its too long and dosen't fetches much money. They field advertiser/sponsor backed players in the teams disregarding merit. They let advertisers/sponsors decided what kind of pitches to be made for matches. The situation is, if you offer enough moeny they will willingly drop Sachin or Dhoni from the team saying, blok's too old we need to think for the future etc. And they don't like paying taxes either. They ruthlessly kill competion (ICL and ICL players are pariah in the cricketing world).

Nobel Obama

Its a major surprise. Barak Obama, president of USA has been awarded Nobel peace prize 2009. I am not exactly sure if this is the right thing to do. I love him as much as any one else but... Nobel used to stand for demonstrated, verifiable actions. Well I see none.

They are saying its to encourage him to do what he is doing etc... what the...? Have you noticed any reduction of violence, murder, rape, injustice around your neighborhood, your city, state, your country, your continent or the world in general? I may be blind but I haven't. Some people say you will when he's done, I say should have given it to him when he is done. Why now? Why so early? He has achieved much but not as much. I am afraid, Nobel committee has brought a politicians election manifesto big time. Its a victory of Obama's election campaign manager!

God forbid, if there is another attack in the USA during Obama regime, will Obama act as G Bush or a Nobel "Peace" prize winner?

Rights or privileges?

As George Carlin once said, "we don't have rights, we have privileges'.

So I was reading this: http://www.anhadin.net/article89.html and realized that muslims face the harshest end of the stick which is being inflicted on all of us. None of us have rights anymore. We may delude ourselves that there is god, law, constitution etc. but non of it would protect us if we call Bombay, Mumbai. Or is it the other way round?

And the irony is, extreme ends of the society still manage to enjoy some rights due to insignificance or influence. Its the majority of us who are not part of some mob, religious righteousness mob, cultural mob, political mod, cast mob, etc mob, who are short charged and taken for a ride every day. We are loosing rights every day. Our right to speech is only till the point people don't notice us. Today if, some goonda party comes and beats me up for calling Bombay, Mumbai (or is it the other way round?), I have no where to go and no police or politician will protect me from the goonda's.

Charlie Wilson's War - Triumph of The Will

 

IMDB: Charlie Wilson's War (2007) 

So the other day I saw Charlie Wilson's War. Nice movie, reminded me of the old classic - Triumph of the Will, you know the one commissioned by Herr Hitler himself. However, Triumph of the Will

 is a classic in many ways, people watch and learn from it. Charlie Wilson sadly on the other hand is a sad, scary and arrogant film.
