Uttar Pradesh - Any thing different this time ?

So..
then..
yes..
We have a new dawn in Lucknow.. 'DAWN not DON'..Hopefully..

A new 'son' rise..
A new beginning..
A refreshing positive change..
A young, dynamic,caring  Chief Minister..youngest CM of UP..
Only 38 years old..(But Rahul retired at 38. Well, not Rahul Gandhi, Rahul Dravid. But yeah, that's cricket, this is politics. 38 means toooooo young in poli. Milk drinking kid.
Ask Rahul Gandhi. But the thing with Mr.Gandhi is that instead of milk, he is eating humble pie, right now..Anyways, that's out of scope of this.)

UP is going to be the next 'God's own Country' !
Still can't figure out how Kerala came to be called as 'God's own Country'.But yes, I know, it's a tourism ad campaign purely to fool foreign tourists :)
Seen many tourists who got influenced by the campaign - only to come to Kerala and forced to put hands on nose seeing some of the foul smelling by-lanes...

That's ok.Leave Kerala..UP is the topic here.. :/
All is well..Young CM, refreshing change, end to goondaraj etc..
Happy days ahead..!! Thrilling days..!!

BUT wait..

Of the 47 ministers sworn-in along with the new, young CM, 28 has criminal charges against them!!
One of them, one Bhayya, has 8 serious criminal cases including murder charges against him!!!! Give him the home ministry, please..Let his control the UP police!!
Good, great going..SP motto is 'end of goondaraj'..Believe them..
They will end goondas with goondas..

It's some sort of a variant of 'for the people, by the people..'
'for the goondas, by the goondas..'

The day the elections results were coming out and when it was apparent that SP is going to form the government, SP workers, went on the rampage in many places of UP.. Beating up villagers who did not vote for them, journalists and BSP workers..
All really good signs for UP..

Probably as usual, after a year of SP rule, people will be DESPERATELY waiting for 4 more years..
To get an option to throw out this government.. Mayawati will come back then..More elephant statues and Mayawati statues..
I mean, this is a cyclic process..

People were eagerly waiting to throw out Mayawati..
With no other available alternative, they brought back SP hoping that the new, young SP leader Akhilesh Yadav will be different..
Well, before the elections he was trying to project himself as different..
After the elections, it seems like 'old wine in new bottle'..

Atleast, that's what it looks like..

If I am proved wrong, and if UP prospers under Akhilesh, then really great..
Else, ya, 'as usual'...that's it..

Probably Akhilesh Yadav's hands are tied..
And these compromises are part of it..
Any way, wishing him all the best as the youngest ever Chief Minister of the biggest state of India.

Mayawati's Magical Wealth

Former Chief Minister and BSP chief, whom people of UP rejected in the recent state elections, Mayawati, has declared her assets as part of her attempt to get elected to the Rajya Sabha.


She is becoming richer and richer and richer and richer, as per the declared assets..
( God knows how much is undeclared! )
At this pace, in the next 10 to 15 years she will become the most wealthiest person in the world..wow..


Don't ask her from where all this money is coming from..


What's the source of this abnormal growth in wealth?
Black magic? Or is she having some sort of money growing trees in her backyard??


Here is the clue ( a bad clue at that ) :


She is a POLITICIAN !!  
hihi..A real bad clue.. :)


Public money is for politicians to loot, isn't it?
 
But then Mayawati is not your every day politician..She is different.
She is probably the only politician in the world who builds her own statues!!
Ya, statues of Elephants toooooo...

To those who want Sachin Tendulkar to retire

For those of you who want a certain Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar to call it a day :

You don't value your eyes when you have them -- Do you?

After all this 'media drummed-up and former players driven' malicious campaign to get Sachin to retire, God forbid, if he does retire soon, then all these people will come to know what they are missing!!!

Sachin is a legend,he knows when to retire.He does not need advice from lesser mortals.It's just that he is currently out of form, that's it.Name one player who has been consistently performing well in tests/ODIs for India in this current Australian tour.

Why is every body targeting Sachin Tendulkar.

These very same people not so long ago were asking to give him Bharat Ratna!!

Hope Sachin comes back to form and gives all these loud mouths a befitting reply.

He may be 39, but he is still the best player India has.Is there any one, any youngsters who are any where near him, in-terms of talent, capability, commitment, dedication, passion for the Country & the game??

Those who want the good of Indian cricket should actually be wishing and hoping that Sachin plays as long as possible, so that youngsters can learn from him.

If as some people say he is only after his 100th 100, don't forget he had the chance to play the ODI series against West Indies in India.

He decided to skip the ODI series to concentrate on the harder Australian series

(But then it's fate that none of the Indian batsmen could perform consistently in the current Australian tour).

Saurav Ganguly wants Sachin to consider retirement!! hoo..

Did Ganguly retire himself?

Selectors had to throw him out.And it's a joke that this person who wants youngsters to be given a chance is still available for IPL selection!!

Ganguly was never a good player of short-pitched bowling, but he carried on and on till the selectors threw him out.

About Kapil Dev : he wants Sachin to retire imediately!!

I remember watching a Kapil Dev, bowling, who was well beyond his best and was simply carrying on and on and on and on..

Just to break Hadlee's record.Kumble, Srinath were bowling way outside the offstump for Kapil to pick up wickets of tailenders!  

Look at your own past.See what you have done & then start giving advises..

Minimum guys like Kapil,Ganguly could do is to "shut up"....

To all these attention seekers :

Ok,be in the limelight.But do some thing else for that.Don't hurt Sachin Tendulkar, who is the greatest sportsman India has ever produced.

Sachin Tendulkar is Sachin Tendulkar - The Legend.

And every body knows damn well that one good innings from him and you people will say the exact opposite and will start praising him again.

Sooner than later Sachin will be completing his 100th international 100.Let's see what these so-called former great players have to say then.

I may be writing here as one of Sachin Tendulkar's greatest admirers, for the way he has played for India, the way he has conducted himself - but above every thing all, this is an anguish blog post to express my deeply disappointed feelings on some people trying to throw dirt and malign one of our true National Icons.

He is a National Icon; the very least we Indians can do is to respect him and his decisions.He knows when to retire, he knows whether Indian cricket still needs him or not.

Let us show him some respect.. If you can't respect him, atleast don't disrespect him.

Sachin....Please carry on...You are as good as ever..And you are the greatest..

Come back to form and let your bat do the talking as a reply to all these rubbish floating around!
