A police story



Look, this is also a part of IPL!!

Another scandal... People, police and the media are celebrating it as usual. IPL, I mean, Indian Paisa League, was always like this. Right from the begining, this tournament was meant only for the purpose of making paisa. Who makes and how does not matter much. Why police is poking their nose into it? Whereever there is money and women are involved, there we see police. Leave the Paisa League alone. If the general public do not mind spending their time and money to watch these entertainments, why can't the police let them choose what they need? Match fixing in cricket is not a new thing and any kind of crackdown or life time bans will never prevent this. If anyone wants to watch criket, they are free to do so, but always expect that a match or two can be fixed anytime anywhere. Ignore that, lay back and enjoy.

Who is this Sreesanth? I didn't know anything about this man till the other day. But as the media was full of stories about this young man, I too paid a little attention to him. To me, he looked like any other normal Indian citizen. An Indian citizen who believes that a little bit of corruption is present in every one's charecter. The other day, a man who always stands on  moral high ground has purchased a small piece of land in the outskirts of a fledging city for a big consideration. The cost of the land that was shown in the registration document was just thirty percent of the original value.

The seller took the major part of the cost in cash. This is taken as black mnoney, in a way. The buyer, on his part, showed a much low value, that is the real government value and this way, he saved around forty thousand rupees towards stamp value. The total loss to the government in this transaction could be a lac or two. This is not an imaginary incident. This is happening all over the country and every citizen of our country does it to evade government taxes. Interestingly, none of us consider this illegal, cheating or immoral - perhaps, not even the commissioner who tells all those colourful stories about betting to media.

 

Sreesanth, like many other fellow crickets would have done something like this. Now, police bring proof like a tucked in towel, spending two lacs on jeans, gifting his girl friend a smart phone...all this are proof!! They call press conferences and feed the media for their trial. Let the media try the accused and pronounce the punishment first. If these are the proof our police are planning to produce in a court of law, hold your breath. Any time, they will knock our door, bundle us up into a "truck" and take us to a mideaval lock up without even telling the reason for this outrageous act. I am worried, I am concerend. As the proverb goes, "neerkoli kadichalum athazham mudangum...."

Anxiety to conquer the world or was it all a gimmick?

Contrary to the popular perception, the muck is not only on the politicians, the "young and restless" section of the society also equally wallowing in it and enjoying. Greed leads them to abyss, sadly

 

Sreesanth's experience is an eye-opener to one and all those who take excessive pride in their abilities and successes. All that is earned can only sustain if there is a little bit of politeness and a large heart to understand that nothing is permenant in this world. Let there be success after success in everyone's life but the feet be firmly on ground....
