Idiots in ShowBiz

Sajid Khan and Arun Lal... good for nothings in showbiz. The former is a useless compere but somehow still manages to keep on appearing in shows. Man he must have a lot of strings.
Arun lal, in each and every match he is comentating, he always puts his foot in his mouth. Even today, he is saying that the srilankans are not doing right by batting a little slowly and trying to save wickets even though they lost 3 very quick wickets. Now tell me, even if the run rate required goes upto 8.5 or 9, isnt getting 85 or so runs in the last 10 overs in a one-day match pretty much normal? Having 6-7 wickets in hand would definitely ensure that. And the batting power-play still to be opted which would up the scoring.
So in that sense the strategy is perfect. Arun Lal, maybe you are stupid or maybe you are getting just too old to understand cricket of this generation.

India's North-West

A comment from someone in office grabbed my attention.
"The NW area of India, Baluchistan, Afghanistan etc. has always been a source of trouble for her."

Think of it ... how very true. Right from the extremists in modern times, to raiders like babar, ghazni, ghauri and abdali, going right back to shakuni in mahabharat, who was from Kandhar and primarily responsible for the mahabharata war.

Is it India's fate till eternity?
