Is it Sach-In-Jury???

Sachin’s injury is a shock to many Indians.. The injury to the oldest battle horse of India does raise a lot of questions.. Why was it so sudden?? Could the little master have tolerated his pain all the while without a single expression?? Even then, how could it have escaped the ever watchful eyes of the great Indian media?? What are the possibilities?? Well, could it be because a few mumbaikars booed him?? That was the first time the greatest batsman in the world would have ever heard anyone booing him.. But na.. Just like a diamond, he’s not only a precious glittering stone, but also the strongest on earth.. So what could it be??

One reason could be that the finest timer of cricket ball has timed a minor corrective surgery in the middle of his bad form.. The other more dramatic reason, but one that cannot be ruled out could be the C-factor in Indian Cricket today.. Could Sachin be facing the same under arm deliveries that the most successful captain of India had to face a few months back( sourav had an injury too, just before he was dropped )?? May be, but I don’t think the Australian would have had the guts to question the man, the Don admired.. Will the out come be the same as that of Ganguly?? Well, a big NO.. Not because the BCCI president is a Mumbaikar, but because he’s SACHIN.. The history of this name is more than enough to answer any number of questions..

But I definitely hate the yellow mist encircling the Men In Blue..

The Chennai Discrimination

The D-Factor - Conditional Access System.. Was it a good initiative?? Seemed so.. Was it feasible?? No.. Was it cost effective?? No.. Was it, or rather, is it popular?? A BIG NO.. Then why the hell is it still operative in Chennai?? Is it bcos of political reasons?? May be.. Is it bcos a normal household can enrich its knowledge and satisfy its entertainment needs by watching the soaps that go on for years?? Never.. Then Why are the poor youth of Chennai being punished just for being born here?? God knows..
Another thing about CAS is that it was to be introduced in 4 metros (Only one big fish got into the net, though).. I don’t understand the logic behind it.. how could one try a new system in a metropolitan.. how could they take such a big sample for an experiment.. Who will you test a new drug on, a guinea pig or a HUMAN BEING?? Fine they made a mistake, can’t they rectify it.. Now even the Delhi High Court is endorsing it.. Come on, the system seems to be a good one, but the it needs a set top box. It should actually be called a SET UP box as it costs nearly 3500 bucks to set it up.. The youth of Chennai really hate this because, this system deprives them of Sports and movies.. Todays historic cricket chase by South Africans couldn’t be watched by Lakhs of cricket lovers in Chennai is a fine example of this fact..
Every one in India has equal rights, but why should Chennaiites pay a price for it??

The Real Reason

In the current issue of the India Today, there is an article titled “Whither Identity”. The article states that the Shaheen-1 & Ghauri missiles of Pakistan are Chinese & N.Korean made repectively.. What is interesting though, is that the missiles are named after Afgan Heroes Ahmad Shah Abdali and Mahummed Ghauri.. Pakistan’s reply was that both these countries have common heroes..
Come On……. Both Shah and Ghauri were heroes all right, but are they forgetting that these heroes had fought against an un-partitioned India which included Pakistan?? Some of their forefathers would have fought against these common heroes.. Or is it that there are no Pakistani heroes ( come on, even I know many Pak heroes ).. So why did Pak name it after them??
The only reason that I can think of is that Shah and Ghauri were successful in invading India (took some attempts though).. I must appreciate the optimism in naming their missiles.. But whats the big deal in accepting their intention.. Even if I am wrong, aren’t there any Pakistani heroes at all to name the missile after.. Many great leaders, patriots and freedom fighters have born on the other side as well…
Any way, what’s in a name?????

Who am I ?

Who am i and what do i do ? That's not important.. What's important is what i wanna share with you.. what is it? to be frank i donno.. This is why i have chosen the name " Vegetarian Hunter ".. A vegetarian hunter is one who hunts, but doesn't eat his kill because he's a vegetarian.. So what does this guy do with it.. Well, he displays it in the form of skins, bones, models or pictures to everyone..
I am a hunter too, but I don’t hunt animals, I rather hunt for something elusive.. In pursuit of my hunt, I come across many things.. And just like the vegetarian hunter, I donno what to do with it.. So I display it..
Here…..
