"Lokpal" Bill

 So, candles have been lit slogans have been shouted, Anna Hazare Ji has started eating (and will gain weight, he has lost). In last few days u might had been part of  crowd to support Anna Hazare, you might have lit candles, tweeted a lot of messages, posted hell lot of links on facebook, forwarded messages, send mails to every one in your network to support "Satyagrah" that AnnaJI has started.

So what now???
How about few questions???

1) Who is anna hazare?
2) For what he is famous for? (don't tell me for his work for Ralegan Sidhi village, I want detailed answer)
3) What is Lok Pal Bill?
4) How Lokpal will be selected?(or will he/she be elected or selected?)
5) Have you read lokpal bill?
6) How lokpal bill will bring reform (read revolution)?

Take 5 minutes to think and construct your answers,

Now, if you fumbled while answering most the questions and you are clueless and don't know anything worth answering then please don't curse yourself. You need to neither call yourself outright dumb or total moron because you are just like other >70% of the mass who didn't know anything about Anna Hazare or Lokpal bill but still went on road with banners, burnt candles and did all the things I mentioned before.

No, I don't want to call your emotions or thing you did, total dumb and sense less but I am just wondering how can you support something if you don't know what it is ? Now you will argue that you want corruption free India and I appreciate your feelings but without knowing how lokpal will remove corruption or how it will function how can you know that it will work towards corruption free India? Just because news channels are giving exaggerating coverage or you heard few celebrities supporting it, you started supporting it?  I don't want to hurt your feelings but what I want to convey is that how can you fight for something about which you don't know?

On a closing note, ask yourself was it really your love for country or love for money which you have to spend every time you have to get some work done. You supported Anna Hazare for public good or just to save your money when you get some work do be done?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S :
1) Any one thought about the Perfect timing of this whole movement and dramatic coverage and publicity it got?
2) Any one gave any thought to "India Against Corruption" title ???
3) Any one still waiting for Poonam Pandey's Show or am I the only one? :P

Afridi -> Respect | Not Anymore

In my last blog post I talked about how good Shahid afridi was on field and how he manged to behave like a good human and how he made me respect him but after watching this video,   I take all my words back. Whatever good I had said about shahid afridi, I take it back. Once again he proved he can't be global human. Again he proved that he was, he is and he will remain orthodox pakistani

                                          *******

After Afridi's first interview(Click Here), Many people not only in India but around the whole globe developed sudden liking for him, they appreciated his "brave heart"(?) answers and afridi got exponential increase in number of his fans but it didn last more days. After another interview that number decreased more rapidly then it had increased.

I dont want to talk about answers afridi gave in this second interview because i believe as a Pakistani he is suffering from inferiority complex(no offense!) and things he told about media and hearts of Indians shows why Pakistan is being hated.

The only thing that i am wondering about is how come a statement of a guy can change so drastically in this much short span of time. What could be the factors that made afridi utter such preposterous things. Is it a political pressure or pressure from orthodox Muslims because as it has been famous that to be captain of Pakistan's cricket team you have to be an orthodox n India hating muslim.

But I think whatever it was, it was what people of pakistan wanted to hear. Every one knows (Indians as well as Pakistanis) that it was really wrong to say whatever afridi said. He is a leading figure and as a leading figure and to stay in public eye he had to say something that every one hears and many wants. I dont have many words to explain this but i guess this video tells it all

Afridi -> Respect

First of all "Best of Luck" team India for today's match (though none of the cricketer gonna read this but this is what I can do :P )
Couple of days back India played against Pakistan in the world cup semi final.
What were the expectations from the game??? In my Last Post i described Cricket as religion and followers as peaceful followers who loves game but when it comes to India-Pakistan match, there are no rules and its all like a war. Most of the fans(Indians as well as Pakistanis) wanted it to happen like a war, wanted some exaggerated hatred and emotions, wanted some offensive actions ,in one sentence they wanted players to fight on field like it is a War but not a Game.

Even I was also expecting some high voltage, nerve numbing drama as whole Pakistani team is famous for their aggression(No Offense) and from Indian side it is lead by Harbhajan Sing and Yuvaraj Singh, but I must say ... What a Game! Team Pakistan and especially Shahid Afridi.

The way afridi controlled himself and his emotions, it is really worth many cheers. He didnt win match but he won many hearts. When his team mates dropped catch of The God-Sachin Tendulkar, we can see unhappiness on his face but it was natural but except that there was no scream not he shouted on the players. Even when Umar Gul was literally being THRASHED by Virendra Sehwag, Afridi did what captain was suppose to do, talk with him n cheer him up. When Pakistan was loosing match my cousin commented "Look, he is crying", Afridi was not crying literally but he was extremely sad and who would not ??? When Your team has shown extra ordinary performance, they did what no one, before the world cup, has predicted, they lived upto the phrase "From ashes we rose" and when you loose in the semi final of the world cup and you know this will break miliions of hearts, doesnt it make someone feel extremely sad ??? but still Afridi controlled his emotions and was the first one to come out on ground to congratulate Team India when India won. A True sportsman and on that moment I realized its only Team Australia who are shithead.

I though to write this the day after the match only but i though it will be too early to say something but after i watched this video

Just one word "Respect"
