IPL 2009

Hi Friends


So IPL is over !


Do you think that all matches were played genuinely ?


Is it possible that a player takes stunning catches at point or cover but drops sitters at the Long off or Long on


Is it possible that a batsman covers his stumps nicely for 6- 7 overs, even while playing slog shots and suddenly then leaves such a gap between bat and pad that a lorry can go through it , to use Siddhuism a bit to bring home the point


There were so many such instances in large no. of matches for the discerning eye to observe and take note of


Is it that mad rush of middle class of India and all other cricket loving countries has lead to emergence of interests who are laughing away to bank ?


Give it a thought friends  ?

No one there

Ilanders have disappointed me no end


No one is ready to part with information to help in countering unjustified practice of traders


They make so many commitments while seeking licence/ permission to open any type of trade and conveniently forget to honour these commmitments


The officials who are there to ensure fulfilment of these conditions are happy in getting their ‘ renumerations’


May be this issue is not appealing enough to the likes of Ramnath Rajaram, Lissomme ? and so many bloggers , having achieved fame and status on the Iland

Dear Ilanders

Seeking little help

Is there any condition by Govt authorities while giving sanction to open an eatery that they must make provision to offer safe drinking water to anyone buying a meal from them ?

Why I ask this is due to the fact that in a Shopping Mall, in the city of Taj, a food court staff declined to give plain safe drinking water when I purchased meals from them. They said they do not have provisions for the same. And I must buy a mineral water bottle if water is required.

If Petrol pump owners have to provide amenities like free drinking water, free air filling in the vehicles and free First Aid facilities, why similar responsibility is not imposed on food joints ?

If there are such provisions, which Govt Dept is to be approached to register a complaint ?

Waiting for guidance from one and all !

Thanks

प्रिय आइलॅंड के मेरे मित्रों,
प्यार के बारे में कितने ही लेखकों ने बड़े बड़े ग्रंथ लिख दीये
मुझ नासमझ को यह अभी भी समझ नहीं आया
क्या हर तरह का प्यार या प्रेम निससवार्थ होता है और यह आवश्यक है कि यह दोतरफ़ा ही हो
जैसे कि पिता और संतान के बीच का प्रेम
यदि यह निस्वार्थ है तो चाहे फिर पिता अपनी औलाद को कैसी भी परवरिश दे, संतान को तो पिता को प्रेम करना ही चाहिए. अथवा फिर दोनो को ही एक दूसरे के लिए केयर करना चाहिए ताकि प्रेम बरकरार रहे

या फिर पति पत्नी के बीच का प्यार
यदि प्यार निस्वार्थ है तो फिर पति या पत्नी का कैसा भी व्यवहार हो दूसरे को तो प्यार करते ही रहना चाहिए. और यदि ऐसा नहीं है तो फिर प्यार में स्वार्थ तो निहित है ही

क्या आप इसको मानते हें.

कृपा करके मेरी इस गुत्थी को सुलझाइए ताकि नासमझी का अंधकार दूर हो सके

आप सभी को शुभ कामनायें

Posted in Love.
