Cricket has been in India since as long as I can remember, but no one had the ability to turn it into such a commercial success. You have to give him credit for that. It might not have been an original idea, but then nobody else did it. Did they?Don&#39;t get me wrong. I am not condoning corruption, but if it was not for him we might not have IPL at all. He might be corrupt to the core, and he should be made accountable if proven but thats for courts to decide.kunalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-37970709991070975122010-04-27T23:42:59.177+01:002010-04-27T23:42:59.177+01:00@ Liju, with Modi now out I doubt if that closet will be opened ;)<br /><br />@ Xylene, I hinestly don&#39;t believe IPL matches are fixed. No player may dare to do that with such high pays and stakes. <br /><br />@ Anish, Modi has dug his own grave. Tharoor will come strong again tomorrow but it seems as if its &#39;samadhi&#39; for Modi. <br /><br />@ HK, exactly. Congress got what it wanted. remove Modi. Now all the hungama will subside at this anti-climax.<br /><br />@ Praveen, lol, dont know who read it out, but kudos to the reporters of the &#39;vision&#39;!! :)<br /><br />@ Chowlaji, exactly! <br /><br />@ Nona, heheee that hot-dog thing actually happened a few months back. :)scorpiogeniuswww.scorpiogenius.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-60798638472054735592010-04-26T09:36:31.739+01:002010-04-26T09:36:31.739+01:00Glad to see Modi being kicked out. Afterall all that he did was copy ICL and then use the monopoly power of BCCI to squeeze them dry. <br /><br />Am waiting for more skeletons to tumble out of the closet. But looking at the gang of thieves that is BCCI, i wonder if the truth will ever come out.Liju Philiphttp://philip9876.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-20090394420336848232010-04-25T07:10:58.801+01:002010-04-25T07:10:58.801+01:00A little boy stole a pencil from his classmate and when he lost it he cried and blamed God for it.<br />I don&#39;t know what to say about this controversy. I mean its not like the people who blame, accuse or being accused of are a bunch of innocent 3 year olds.<br />And I guess like the match fixing controversy, Kapil Dev would have to cry in public for the media/people to close this chapter.xylenehttp://crapbook.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-29788782329504498712010-04-23T15:38:01.610+01:002010-04-23T15:38:01.610+01:00Modi is a smart ass.But at the same time he is very arrogant.He himself dig his grave.

But still I feel he ought to be given a chance more. <br /><br />Amal, you&#39;ve hit bulls eye when you said about him deserving it (because he was naive in flaunting the woman), in befriending Modi (fully confiding in him without keeping guard), him being alien to Kerala Congress and his personal traits and attributes. So many people think alike. Still there is a catch...<br /><br />I still believe he CAN make a difference we are hoping for. When Dr. Kalam was our President he was able to inspire many a young minds. My neice, who is 15, is strongly motivated by the great scientist. She has read all his books, she is inspired by the simplicity and humility of the man and treasures the autograph she got when he visited her school 4 years back. Sorry for comparing Tharoor with Dr. Kalam but we (the youth) need someone to look upto in politics. <br /><br />How long will we depend on this primary school dropout and goonda netas for the development of our nation Amal? Politicians, as per our genX, is a bunch of jokers who are good for nothing. Look, today they all decided to cut down the NH Development parameters in Kerala!! Only very few people like Dr. Tharoor could actually make waves. If we feel Dr. Tharoor with all the attributes of himself, is just another old politician then we ought to look back seriously at our system. What is the problem he is facing here, which he didn&#39;t have in 3 decades of public life? <br /><br />May be Tharoor has a different perspective of Indian Politics, and his ways may have created a frown in many. Its incredible when you think that he is accessible to you and me, but not for the Pradesh Congress leaders! Usually its the other way... So there has been a difference. You visit SSC and you know very well what&#39;s going on. And many of our friends there has been vocal about how approachable he is, and his sincerity when it comes to his constituency. <br /><br />So he has to explore some uncharted territory; take on the Reds by the horn, make some high-fi announcements, rage war with the opposition, go hand-in-gloves with local Kaangresmen...in other words jump into the dirt pit. I wonder if this is the only way for people like Tharoor until he sheds the &#39;junior&#39; tag &amp; acquire enough power to tackle the system.<br /><br />As for our city is concerned, who else are we going to send to Delhi? I don&#39;t see a suitable replacement given the history of MPs we&#39;ve managed to send from here. :P Isn&#39;t he still way better than all our previous MPs combined together?? I liked the way you put it: His path of redemption lies through Trivandrum, INDEED! If he lets down the people of Trivandrum then I see this chapter ending soon. <br /><br />Well, I&#39;m disappointed with all this but I still support him. I like the man Amal. He is no Obama but the closest we have among Lalus, Mayavatis and Pinarayis... <br /><br />Anyway, nice to talk to old buddies. Hope you&#39;re keeping Amyerica in right order ;) Take care...scorpiogeniuswww.scorpiogenius.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-34267054506242731032010-04-21T20:00:34.117+01:002010-04-21T20:00:34.117+01:00businessman of the year!!!better call him conman of the year..<br /><br />and mulayam seems not to have learned any lessons after his election debacle..where his amin agenda was stopping english medium schools..<br /><br />and no words on the &#39;vision&#39;...nammude &#39;kumar&#39; thanne aano ithu &#39;break cheythathu?:Pcrusadertvmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-51554959239650110192010-04-21T15:08:18.562+01:002010-04-21T15:08:18.562+01:00Most of the corrupt are talking of removing corruption and the corrupt.bkchowlahttp://www.indiaoftomorrow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-25406083535806302572010-04-20T19:21:59.768+01:002010-04-20T19:21:59.768+01:00I saw the pic of Modi hugging the blonde yesterday! It looked odd as the news article and the picture had no link!<br /><br />Let&#39;s see what happens to the &quot;Businessman of the Year&quot;!<br /><br />The original news article dug out from Modi&#39;s past is very damaging! I guess some people has all the luck!<br /><br />Thanks for the link to 68 dogs! That was hilarious! How can translators be so stupid? And to think that article was translated by budding journalists is disturbing enough!Nonahttp://nonaspensieve.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322276660687375585.post-57289220376880442302010-04-20T18:40:40.668+01:002010-04-20T18:40:40.668+01:00Dear Anish,<br /><br />I am sure you will have a balanced standpoint once you get over your disappointment in having our beloved MP kicked out. But in all fairness he totally deserved it. <br /><br />No question Modi appears to be a sleaze bag but this is the same guy Tharoor was cozying up to till Modi ditched him. What does that make of Tharoor ? Tharoor was fast tracked to be a congress candidate and made a minister because he was in Congress HQ&#39;s good books. I believe they wanted him to succeed, now if he is out he has only himself to blame. <br /><br />Why should the Kerala congress help him ? Has he ever tried to suck up to them? Has he ever helped them in their constant fight against the LDF ? All he has ever done is to play for his twitter crowd. <br /><br />Tharoor may indeed be the new age politician, he is articulate, suave and can talk intelligently. But he has all the infallibilities of the old politician, he is highly ambitious, not averse to taking a shortcut even if it means tweaking a few rules and appears to like the perks of glamor and power. I dont think he is the answer, he is just a new age politician with the same old ways. His path to redemption lies through Trivandrum. High time he got back and worked some magic.Amalnoreply@blogger.com
