Easy to give advice, Mr.Modi !

First of all I am not a Modi supporter or a Rahul supporter. For that matter, I am not a supporter of any party.

Just want to highlight one thing noted recently.

As the Lok Sabha elections and the campaigning are nearing closure, the lunatic fringe in the sangh extended parivar is getting dirtier and dirtier with their comments.

The comment by the so-called "Yoga Guru" Mr.Ramdev, takes the No.1 position for being the worst comment. Don't want to repeat it here.

Coming from a so called "Guru", it's a real shame and every one should be concerned, if this is the level of our so called 'Gurus'!

What promopted me to write this blog is this "Stay within limits, Modi warns Rahul":
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/lok-sabha-elections-2014/news/Stay-within-limits-Modi-warns-Rahul/articleshow/34264124.cms

Mr.Modi, who seems to be on his way to become the PM of India, will be well advised to first ask his best friend Mr.Ramdev to stay within limit and don't insult Dalits and other leaders.

The BJP was infact defending Ramdev, saying he was misinterpreted.Gone are the days when politicians can say that they are misinterpreted.
The comments are on tape and was telecast in almost all news channels.There was no misinterpretation.Only for the BJP, the misinterpretation was there !!!!

Agree that leaders of all parties are indulging in some loose talk or the other.

When that's the case, Mr.Modi need not take a high morale ground, esp when his right-hand man Mr.Amit Shah was caught talking about revenge.

First clean up your own mess and then advice others !!!

As I said, I am not a supporter of any body.

Rahul seems nowhere in the picture of becoming a PM, so ignoring him.
Modi, 'who is in the picture', should first reign-in the ugly monsters in his party and his extended parivar, before giving sermons to others.

People seems to have high expectations from Modi - about good governance.But it seems, if he becomes the PM, the lunatic fringe of the sangh parivar will be having a ball..

Ajinkya Rahane's 1st test 100

Just loved the way Ajinkya Rahane celebrated after getting his first test century today.

No wild celebrations, no swearing, no running around..

Just a simple, calm and collected reaction and an acknowledgement to the appreciation from the crowd and his team mates.

Indian Cricket Team - Back to being a one man army ??

Is the Indian ODI Cricket Team slowly becoming what it was when Sachin Tendulkar was at his best ?

Those days, for opposition teams, the motto was 'Get Tendulkar out early" to win against India.Pure & simple.

There is a similar pattern being played out post Tendulkar's retirement these days.

Only difference, it's now Virat Kohli who has taken over that hot seat from Tendulkar.

The other so-called hugely talented young Indian batsmen are just not standing up to the challenge, atleast for the time being as can been in the on going India vs New Zealand ODI series.

Hope Kohli continues to do well.

More importantly, hope others also will start to do well.

This is especially important because Indian team relies very heavily on their batsmen to win matches.

The bowling remains as pathetic as ever.Hopelessly so..!


Update : 11:58 am 25/01/2014 : 
I guess I jinxed Kohli.He just got out for a lackluster 6 off 20 balls, in the 3rd ODI between India - NZ.He never looked comfortable in the crease.That's the way it goes :)


Update : 2:48 pm 25/01/2014 : 
Ok, well, well, well. The match is a tie.Both teams scored 314.
For India, it was Ravichandran Aswin and Ravindra Jadeja who pulled off this sensational tie.India needed 18 off the last over with only one wicket remaining.Jadeja managed to tie the game.


Probably, these 2 updates have taken away the focus away from the main content of the blog.But these 2 updates should reinforce the fact that the top order batsmen still continue to fail, what with the tie achieved by Ashwin, Jajeda and ofcourse Dhoni's 50s.
