Crap! I need to start posting regularly here. Suffering from a severe case of ADD :(

See this was the time they could have done it. Proven to the world that India is doing so much better than the rest of its neighbors. But no, internal squabbles and the general police structure means that only thing that will happen here will be the elections. Why are we so compromised during the elections?
But that aside, IPL has hammered another nail into its ever so certain coffin. Come on. They started out big and this will be such an anti-climax. People will lose touch. They won’t come to the stadiums this year (because bangalore and the rest of the franchise towns aren’t in South Africa or England) and IPL will be hard pressed to get them to come next year. Why can’t we have half the matches now and the rest in some other month. It doesn’t rain that much here these days anyway. you know, try to give the newspapers something else to talk about besides the general drought that prevails around the time of mansoons every year.
Why do we need to have the IPL so concentrated into 2 months every year. Spread it around the year before it becomes an overdose. That way the fans keep in touch and there is no ebb in the flow of tv coverage.
But it looks like it is not to be. They are moving out. This will be the death of IPL.

Varun Gandhi is an idiot. And a confused one at that. He must be wondering how Rajnath Singh or Narendra Modi seem to always get away with it.
(There are few people that care about being politically correct these days. Everything can be blamed on the media. They always seem to get blamed for reporting every outrageous statement outside context.Nobody bothers to think that some of these statements are as outrageous in any context)
Getting back to Varun. For a aspiring politician from the ‘Gandhi’ family he has a lot of serious problems. First of all he has very few things to say. See he can’t exactly swear at his aunt and cousins in public. The government screwing up line is cliched and people are bored. His only identity is that he is like Maneka Gandhi’s son. The Maneka who is nuts for animals. She probably loved her pets so much and treated them so well that it was probably a good thing, while growing up back home, to be treated like an animal. Also his dad was some kind of a militant in the political circles.

So i don’t blame him. He is a kid growing up. He will learn to refine his statements and still get votes from the communally inclined. For now he can let the modi’s and the rajnath’s hog all the political incorrectness fogging the indian landscape.
