IPL- Boon or Curse for India?

The season is on; every discussion table is flooded with the sensation of the cricket world- the Indian Premiere League -The richest cricket tournament.

Every year  after the schedule of IPL is announced, it is the hot topic of discussion in every  small family function , dinner table , morning breakfast, college library, school’s morning assembly (as students are more busy with their hot discussion rather than principal’s speech) and even for the corporate...

With this, whether IPL- is a BOON or CURSE for India is the question in every mind. 

The Indian Premiere League - a BOON for India.

No doubt that IPL is providing International platform to the young cricketers. And not only to the domestic cricketers, but to the international cricketers also. 

The young players are getting chance to play with the star icons and senior players like Sachin, Dravid, Gayle, Muralidharan, Ricky Ponting etc from all over the world. Playing against and playing with is really brings a lots of difference. This has brought the cricketing nations and the cricket players closer.

Ocean of money:

IPL is an ocean where everyone involved from cricket player (domestic or international) to cheers leader and betting business, buying golden crown in a single season. 

There is no any other cricket league in the world where people are making billion of dollars. IPL is in the number top position in the world of cricket business wise. Moreover, this affects the Indian economy directly.

IPL not only giving money to cricketers to play but creating numbers of job too. 

Glamour Spice:

IPL- Money-Entertainment And Glamour. This is also bringing different industry people together in the Battle Field. Film Industry, Big Corporate House, Star Icons of Cricket world like Vijay Mallya, 

Shahrukh, Prity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, etc, either to cheer up their team and against the opposite team. 

These add extra spices to such cricket tournament.

India as the super power in the cricket world:

The IPL affecting the international cricket matches schedule as well. It is the power of money flowing that the great players wish to play for Indian franchisees instead of playing for their nation.

Is there any possibility of turning the tournament as a Curse...?

It is good that a player from Punjab is playing for Bangalore, Chennai, or any other state. Similarly, players from different place and zones are playing for different areas than the one they belong to. This shows the unity of India. But at the same point, the India is not watching the IPL cricket matches. 

 

Here India is divided into Royal Challengers of Bangalore, Chennai Super King, Kolkata Knight Riders ...Pune warriors, Delhi Daredevils etc.

Everyone saw what happened with Virat Kohli in Mumbai. When the same Koli plays a match in Indian team, whole stadium will echo with the CHEERS for Kohli.

Moreover, Do I need to remind you the case of Ravindra Jadeja in sarcasm...?
Is it not breaking down the frail India into pieces?

Is it not like market again dividing and ruling over India?

 

Important funda of making money, which we learnt from OUR great Marketing-Fianace-HR professors-Britishes- divide, and make people fight among themselves and make money out of it.

Again the people at cream are increasing their bank balance not the grassroots is getting the benefits..!!!

 

                                                

RAAGINI: A Beautiful Gazal

   Story of a Girl Born without Eyes:Bilateral Anophthalmia)

How BLACK, one’s life could be and how HEARTLESS, a father and a mother (who carried her child in her womb for 9 months before birth) could be..!!

In January 2012, one day a just born baby girl was found in the bathroom of a train to Deoghar. GRP took the girl child to Deoghar police station and handed over to Narayan Sewa  Ashram.

Like other girls in the ashram, One more beautiful little bud got a mother, father, so many sisters...a beautiful family.

Within a day, a couple came to adopt a girl child. They fell in love with this beautiful little bud. She was sleeping and her smiling –glowing face made the couple feel that she is the girl whom they want to call them maa and papa. 

However the little bud was showered with curses rather than boons. Unfortunately the little bud was found to be blind from the birth. She never opened and never can open her eyes

Even, that couple was heartless like those who gave birth to her. Everyone in Narayan Sewa Ashram thought that she was in safe hands now, but how unfortunate for them to see the couples bringing back the innocent child to the Ashram.

 When the couple told that they haven’t wished for a blind child, the Ashram doesn’t know whether to take this incident as a bad sign (‘cause the little bud lost became homeless twice in just 2 days) or as a good sign (‘cause the little girl has escaped from the hands of another heartless humans who doesn’t see the true love).

Raagni was at her real home again where she was getting the special love and care of Pita (father) HareRam Pandey and Maa (mother) Bhavani Devi.  

Raagni is a patient of Bilateral Anophthalmia (rare deformation in which eyes do not develop during first 28 days of pregnancy).

Doctor said; she can’t see the world ever.

It was very sad moment for the Narayan Sewa Ashram. But, unlike her parents, Raagini is getting more care and love from every individual at her home.

HareRam Pandey dreams to make her a singer. He believes that God has not given her eyes to see the beauty of the world, but she will show the beauty of world to others through her beautiful voice. 

It is really hard to believe sometime that this is happening in the reality around us –Throwing Away the Girl Child.

We use to see and hear from stories, magazines, TV serials, Movies…But when I met this beautiful girl in the ashram, I was overwhelmed. I was speechless.

 

If anyone know about any kind of treatment for Anophthalmia ( Born without eyes),

Sorry Sarabjit Singh

Sorry Sarabjit..

Sarabjit Singh you were not my brother, my father, or my son.

Until any one in my family is suffering as you, I can’t even understand the feeling and the suffering under which your family was going through.

I am a common person, what can I do for you? I am busy in earning my own bread.

Yeah, if my brother/father/son would have suffered like this, I would have done something..not only something, but would have done everything to save him.

Neither you belong to my religion/my caste/my community..or else I would have tried something.

You are not a legend for my country too, but our different movie industries will make you the hero in coming years. 

They will make a classic movie on you..will give you tribute..will regret for not able to save you..will give some money to help your family.

Media will support it..will cover everything, every single bit they can..will blame my country government and people too..will show how brutal the neighbour country is.

Sarabjit, you were also not brother/father/son of any of the great Indian politicians, that they would have taken any immediate action to save you.

However, you and your case was a treasure for the government. They have kept it safe, locked inside several locks so that when the iron is hot, they can beat it. You were the treasure, to be used while playing the all sensitive and sympathetic issues card at the time of election.

But yeah, we can do something even now...

·         Will make you the hot topic for the discussion on every table.

·         You will shine on the cover and front page of most of the print media.

·         Television media will thanks to you for giving them some research topic at least for 2-3 days.

·         Online media...they will give their best in showing their sympathy with you and your family.

Sarabjit, I want to know from all sources of media, what was your last moment desire.

Views of your poor daughters, your widow, you sister who was struggling for her brother since so many years, your other relatives, your neighbours and villagers your daughters’ school people...and every possible and impossible connections with you. 

Along with that, even I give my views over ... “what went wrong, what would have done to save you, what will happen to your family and bla bla.”

Sarabjit I am sorry again. There is lot to say or you can take it as I only want to say and talk about you and things related to you.

As I can’t do anything being a common person to save other Sarabjit’s of different countries poisoned in other countries from a long period of time, away from their family.

Therefore, the last thing I want to say is RIP Sarabjit.

Regards

 “I” [Every common and special person]
