There was a funny incident of attempt to ban betting in Bangalore Turf, dare you!!. I guess first they should close down the stock exchange. More people have lost money speculating on Shares. Stock exchange somehow has gained the status of sacred institution, quite an achievement. You close turf betting, you close stock exchange. Ideally these discussions are time pass!!. This blogger would like to see cricket being open for betting. Government has absolutely no business to tell people where to put money. Further if over paid monkeys are adorned with Arjuna awards why are jockeys not considered, this is discrimination. This blogger would like to see outstanding jockeys like Narredu be awarded. Horse racing need to be given the respect which is due. Riding a horse (and winning the race) needs extreme skills. Picture this: would you like to see bunch of underperformers rubbing the ball on the crotch (god why???. I guess if pitch can behave, crotch can help!!) or would you go for incredible sight of amazing set of horses ridden by colorful jockeys, running together???
Recently it was reported that one of the ‘Indian cricketer’ had signed an endorsement with a condition that he would spend as much as time on the pitch intent to give exposure to the product. This is shocking. The media however refused to name the person as if it is some state secret. We would like to know who this player is. He has not only brought disrepute to the game but has hindered the chance of Indian team. He has fooled millions of followers of this game. He has indulged in unethical practice which is as grievous as match fixing. So hiding his name is equally criminal. The BCCI has to reveal the name…..or in case media is aware of it they should bring this scoundrel out. People would like to know, they are being fooled.
Please join in the appeal to release Alan Johnston the BBC reporter kidnapped more than a month back.
This blogger had always a very healthy view of BBC. I love watching BBC as much I listened the radio as a kid, the Hindi version too. They should be cautious when dealing with India (unavoidable because of population), since lots of pretentious people are stampeding for attention. Foreign channel if serious can know more about the nation and its issues by directly involving the common people and not elite (particularly those pretentious types who have positioned to save common people aka Crude Woman) British and American attention would make the day of any these scum, it is their reference point, pinnacle of achievement, origin of ‘making India proud’. Channels like BBC will only degrade itself associating with superficial people.
