INDIA PRIVATISES EVERY PUBLIC GOOD SHAMELESSLY

Poor Lalit Modi. He went a little too fast with his scam and partied a little too hard in front of public eyes. As per a confidential income tax report,he bought a luxury yacht, a private jet, haveli's in Rajasthan, a fleet of Mercedes S-class cars and what not! All in the last three years! He gave every possible deal to do with IPL to his relatives and family and friends or to people whom he owed money-so that they don't come behind him. Again, this is as per that report which came out in The Economic Times. More, he took personal stakes in disguise in three of the IPL teams and is supposed to have been himself involved in fixing the outcomes of IPL matches along with a prominent page 3 personality; again according to the same report. He is linked to Betfair- a UK firm that runs one of the world's largest betting syndicates on the internet- and is helping it to enter the casino and hospitality business in India! This is what the Income Tax Department scooped out from Latli Modi's email box. And all this an unbelievable six months back. But then the government didn't take any action till Modi in his stupidity tried to puplicly challenge Tharoor because Tharoor gate-crashed into Modi's IPL party while he wanted to give that franchise to another big industrial house along with a couple of more film stars!

To undo the IPL scam, what we must do minimum is take away all the franchisees given unfairly and re-auction them fairly including those given out in the first round of auctions. And see to it that such shameful privatisation of everything public through unfair means should stop with immediate effect. Otherwise, we will only have more and more of BPL while IPLs and such similar scams keep thriving. Utter shame!

Obama's "new beginning" Speech

President Obama's eloquence speech at the Cairo university was quite ambiguous and strange one. His speech laden with respectful gestures to Muslims was intentionally made for spreading peace in the world and restoring better relationship between US and Muslim community. But somehow this speech full of affectionate words for Muslims contained a fragrance of a deliberate wish to convey a message in a global level that US was never against of Islam. This one hour's speech was to win and appease the hearts of the real Islamists. So this speech would be totally ineffectual as it certainly would not change the mindsets of negative stereotypes of Islam. Then for which section of society Obama served his speech? Was it only to show his non-relentless image? It sounds absurd when he asserted that US was always seeking a world without nuclear power. US itself has initiated it..So they must be the first to dispose their weapons. It is strange to know that forgetting completely prolonged painful and horrific experience, the Israeli government hoped for a new era. Nobody knows the future.

Air France Plane Disappears

Through the history of travel, distortions have always been encountered. An Air France plane flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris carrying 228 people on board went through an electrical storm and then disappeared and no one knows where it or any of the passengers are right now. It shocks me that this is possible even in today’s day and age. Maybe turbulence was so strong and the pilots lost control and not able to recover. The plane was a relatively new model (Airbus A330-200) of one of the aviation sector’s most reliable and state-of-the-art aircrafts. According to the analysts, it would take “extremely violent weather” to bring it down. And that is only reason why everyone is stunned by its disappearance. Flying around in a storm is always nerve-wracking. Hard to imagine what the families are going through…Still sad on all fronts. Our sympathies and prayers go out to all the families and friends.

A Real Task for UPA

Not only Indians, this is a human tendency to forget the past incidents specially when they are not pleasant. So that somehow we did by forgetting 26/11 Mumbai attack. These days we were quiet busy in re-establishing the UPA Govt that helped us more to lighten our memories of 26/11. The applause by the international community for India's restraint is not enough for us. Frankly speaking, Pakistan has always been a greatest nuisance for India. This country has alienated itself from our country by persecuting and annoying us. India must not offer any humanitarian assistance to Pakistan as the latter is not very much enthusiastic and in fact it has never been, to accept our assistance. We are not US Govt which has a mother heart for Pakistan and instead of taking any stringent action, US even does not hesitate to shower Pak with an open-ended cheque even after 9/11 shock. We must fully utilize our sufficient experience since one day prior to our Independence that Pakistan's mindset about India cannot be ever changed. So it is better not to forget the abhorrent sight of Mumbai. We really don't have enough fortitude now to tolerate this miscreant.

Subject : Indian student beaten up and robbed in Australia

"Non-Resident Indians are now having a big trouble in Asian continent as well. We used to think that we were in safe place where we could breathe a fresh air of freedom. There are a number of Indian people reside in Australia and Singapore, especially the youths who come here for higher studies and few for business purpose. The violence occurred in Melbourne, where four Indian students were assaulted by a group of Aus teenagers and unfortunately one of them (Sourabh Sharma, 21) is now battling for life in a hospital. This is a really very horrifying occurrence for those students who are living outside without their parents. NRIs cannot overcome easily from this dread atmosphere over there. The apathetic Australian Government must take some positive steps to curb this indignation."

North Korea's Nuclear Test...who's the target?

I think its interesting that North Korea is really pushing for its advancement of nuclear weapons. As we both know N. Korea is not funded by the world elite, therefore N. Korea with it's 1 million man military is a very large threat to the elite. I don't think N. Korea has a real target, I think they are just trying to be on the military level of the rest of the world powers....at least for now.
