Dear Mr. Vijay Harshvardhan Malik ( Rann )
Good Morning to you! And all the listeners and readers of the blog..
It seems you have lived your reel life in its real values.. well written even if unedited post.. long, Lovely and lasting impression that it has made does it go on to promote media or say devour it.. it goes on to do the best.. suggests..
Plenty of issues.. much of it too current.. most written with an open view and appears as transparent as you wish others to be.. do unto others as to what you expect from them.. well thought out post.. simply amazing.. does casting in the role of a News channel owner in reel life transformed you into the one in real life.. I wish it did.. you are s forthright.. so imaginative and informed that if implemented with good intent the issues can not remain unanswered for far too long.. whether IPL.. or any of the major current events that you compiled in this one post.. it would take time for someone as naive as me to really fathom the actual depth of the issues leave alone the solutions...
Yet coming back to one issue in particular IPL 3 and private mode of the IPL.. I tend to disagree with you.. some thing which is meant for public even if run privately can not be visualised privately alone.. who would not know of the various times that sports have been overshadowed by political atmosphere as has been amply provided by you in terms of Moscow and more.. what Abhaya Sharma asks brother is that - Is it really good to allow political intentions to be intertwined into sports.. even if there are precedence would any organiser of any kind of games would ever like the idea of the boycott.. and this Pakistani cricketers boycott does not even seem to have known roots.. what has caused the angst is quite unclear.. if the honourable home minister is to be believed there is not slightest connectivity of government to the decision.. yet the decision to exclude Pakistanis has been quite visible to all.. and here I had also said if Afridi decides to sit out he would be caught on the wrong foot.. that is if he vehemently opposes any operations to settle the issue amicably.. I have been involved quite deeply with IPL 1 and even IPL 2.. I know its good in the first place.. only exclusion of some of the top names in the game only warranted a reaction from me.. stick to my guns.. I would not watch IPL 3 if there are no Pakistanis in the IPL teams.. I have my reasons.. I see sports and cricket in particular as that bridge that can be used to pacify the disturbing atmosphere and relationship that has been building between two countries over last six decades more so in the recent times with terror strikes in Mumbai on 26/11.. do we want to try to come closer to each other or we wish to be removed further away shunning each other one every possible issues.. we would be doing disservice to two great leaders in Gandhi and even Jinnah.. I know people have different opinions of the latter.. yet I think the only grave mistake that Mr. Jinnah made was formation of the Indian Muslim league and departing away from congress.. and that was encashed by British to divide us.. no, I would not watch IPL 3 devoid of Shahid Afridi and Gul in particular.. even if the Pathan chooses not to return on a rethink.. the onus in that case would lie with him.. I would protest against him not joining as well as protesting aginst the teams not picking him.. so you see my stand is unilateral.. I want both Afridi and Gul to be a part of the IPL besides Tanvir, Misbah, Razzaq and Malik.. there could be many more..
I have a poor understanding of the several other issues that have been brought forth by you here.. especially the Australia's behaviour.. yet I simply ask.. when we have Maharashtra, Telangana and many other divisive forces discriminating among Indians the Australians are not alone.. and I have been given a picture that is not exactly as bad as what we think of it sitting here listening to some of the hyper stories on the idiot box.. I have people who stay there.. I know there are lot of Indians who think that the matter is being blown out of proportions.. no, no, I have not decided to just go diametrically opposite to your views.. I don't even know your views except that as an Indian you did not accept the doctorate from and Australian university.. fair enough.. but we must look upon ourselves that whether we are not ourselves involved in the discriminatory methods against each other.. who is there to lead us away from all sorts of forces that are at best disruptive in nature within the country.. tomorrow if there are ten more states coming up in India is it going to be good or bad is unknown to me.. but the grounds on which these states are being demanded is definitely not the kind of India that our father of the nation Bapu or Mahatma would have thought us to be like.. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi always came second to my mind after Bhagat Singh yet I respect him quite a great deal.. his ways were radically different and quite productive..
I have read verses from Soot ki Mala and Khaadi ke Phool by Dr. Bachchan from the recently purchased Meri Shrestha Kavitayen.. and his writings provide a much greater understanding of the man than I had before.. My respect for the father of nation is n the rise.. MKG must thank Dr. Bachchan for such a vivid and clear description of the man who was not well understood then and even now..
I wish I had the book here with me I could share atleast a few of the well compiled verses from someone literary acclaimd as Dr. Bachchan on internationally most acclaimed world leader in Mahatma Gandhi .. I shall do that later in the day without fail.. that alone could be the best tribute from me to the reverred father of the nation.. I always loved you Bapu.. Now I love you a little more…
I come to conclude this post for the time being.. please do not feel that I had written anything to be too adamant on IPL issues.. it is only my ambition that has been raised here in that connection.. If Sehwag could make a slot available for inclusion of Afridi in Delhi Daredevils I would just love him a little more than I already love him for his flamboyant style of batting.. even if he gets out whenever I tried to watch his game.. the coincidence can not take away the credit from his great batsmanship in modern form of cricket.. I am sure Sir Don Bradman (if he watches cricket from heavens) and Sir Vivian Richards would agree fully well with me.. he is unique.. he is imaginative.. he is ruthless and yet he is lovable.. I liked his ad in support of Indian Hockey well done Viru.. but does India play in the world cup despite it being organised here.. it should have been.. I know.. still I read somewhere that they are not.. the hosts always find themselves an entry and if India has been denied this by world hockey it is unfair.. let it be..
Love regards and respect
