Breaking News of Indian Cricket Team at Perth 2012

Well the Indian cricket team was in the news for going for a Go-Karting session after having lost the first 2 tests  at Australia. First session at Perth has inspired me to write a series of BREAKING NEWS that could have been... used...

this one was even before the test
#They went go-karting in Perth, wait till they get a few bouncers.. then they will go-farting..

BREAKING NEWS

#India has announced a new team for formula 1 for the coming season, for this they have sent a team of potential drivers for a test drive at Perth.

#The pace of the track was so fast that it took me longer to write this than the time some of the batsmen (opps drivers) lasted

# Team is looking for a new set of sponsors for Batsmen they want Fevicol to sponsor, (they hope this will make them stick to the wicket) and for Bowlers they want some health drink to sponsor (Taller, Faster Stronger)

# Test Cricket TRP has gone up, even more than IPL, The Indian team lasts for a shorter time at test than 20-20, making it a fast game to watch.

# Highlight's package just got longer than the test game.

# The Indians found Big Cracks on the Perth pitch.. They were at each end under the helmet's.

# The Indian's declared their first Innings at 161... They declared that they have forgotten how to play Cricket. Time to Go-karting...

# 161 is lesser than the total no of laps that the team took at the go-kart circuit. 

# Indians have found a new tail, its shorter than the doberman's

# New Cricket Definitions
1. Batsmen:- Team driver
2. Bowler:- Rival team driver
3. Umpire:- Marshals 
4. Straight Drive:- Where you start in Pole position and finish the race 1st.
5. Drinks Break:- time to change tires and fresh ones on.

Will keep adding as the wickets keep on tumbling...

# The selection committee is planning on sending Harbhajan to Australia, not to play but the entire team desperately needs a 'SLAPexpert'

# The BBCI plans on asking the ICC for a special concession, they say that in the next innings they want each player to contribute 10 runs each so that Sachin can reach his 100th hundred.

# Cricket is a funny game, and currently the team is playing like jokers..

Boozed out..?

So in the recent news cops catch a few people selling fake liquor in expensive bottles, I am sure this is only the tip of the iceberg
New Year bust Ordinary whiskey in Scotch bottles

and on the other hand in West Bengal the toll of people dying due to illicit liquor is on the rise.
Hootch Tragedy
Hooch horror in Bengal

and we have people like Anna Hazare saying "flog boozers"
Netizens rap flog boozers barb of Anna Hazare

according to Anna there is no Tobacco and Liquor sold in his state
Tobacco liquor not sold in Anna Hazares village

but the actual truth is he has just scared people of his village into giving up alcohol
Fear and intimidation in Anna Hazares model village

Why do you think this is happening..
The Maharashtra government has raised Taxes on booze
Excise duty foreign liquor country liquor

Then they also raise the age to which you are allowed to drink
Drinking age for liquor in Maharastra

So why will illicit liquor or smuggling not be on the rise,
Its quite simple you see, we live in a democratic county and we are free to do what we want as long as we are not breaking any laws. In any city just like Mumbai where people are working like dogs to earn a little to a lot of money, we all put in a hard days work, its nice to end the day or the weekend on a little high. After all  are we not all working towards being happy. So while the earning has stayed the same the prices for everything has been raised, and this rise of Tax is affecting the happiness of the state.

Of course people will look at buying things at a cheaper rate, if only the original came at a smaller price no one would buy fake booze risking their lives, also cutting down on the profits of smugglers thus cutting down the crime. Would you ever think of smuggling cheaper booze in states like Goa or Daman no why cause its already cheap there, it would be a stupid business.

What if booze was made really cheap, do you think that the entire country would turn dunk, I don't think so, its the case where the forbidden fruit is the one that is desired the most. But there is always the case of bad fruit spoils the case, there are a few who spoil the fun for all, its takes just a few over drunk people to spoil the happiness of the rest. A young few who drink and drive and spoil it for the millions who are responsible drunks.
Drunk Driving

So what should be done.. Lower and cheaper booze or a complete ban, I think lets just open a bottle have a  peg or two and then we can decide later.
!! Cheers!!

Petrol Hike a Silver lining

We have all heard of the petrol prices going up in the last year

Fifth Petrol Price Hike in India This Year

Revolt Against Petrol Hikes in India

Petrol price hike from Rs 8 to Rs 58 in 20 years

and there are a lot more articles that you can come across.
The trend that fuel hike takes is
Fuel hike  = rise in transportation = rise in essential commodities = everything has gone up except income.

While this is a disaster of sorts, there is a silver lining a see through all this,
I say why increase it by 1.80 or 2 Rs/ - I say increase rates to 100 to 500 Rs/-
Its makes fuel so unaffordable that we all get screwed big time,
So what is the silver lining in all this

It will force all to leave their car's & bikes at home and take up public transport,
this will force the improvement of public transport. (hopefully)
Alternately people will start walking and cycling to places
a healthier approach to life, also it would be easier as there would be lesser traffic to deal with.
Most people will have to return to their home towns and villages and take up farming
this increases the country's internal food supply and bringing down cost as supply increases.
Alternate methods will finally get implied which are not only cost effective
but also environment friendly, like solar and wind powered transport,
may be fuel produced in our own backyard and thus reducing our dependency from the oil exporting countries.

So while the silver line might be a very thin one,
hope it does not leave us drenched out waiting for the rainbow to appear.

I support the increase in the drinking age to 25......

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Maha-raises-drinking-age-to-25-yrs/articleshow/8688386.cms

The Maharastra government have decided to increase the age of drinking to 25 from 21 and I totally support this..
But along with this they HAVE TO implement the following LAWS as well..

1. The retirement age for all Government officials and ministers be made 65 (that way they are not from another era)

2. The pay to these guys increased and all subsidies cut completely. (so no free travel, no cheap food etc feel the pinch that the aam janta feels)

3. Ban on all ministers and government officials from smoking and consuming alcohol in any form. (after all how will they rule if they are intoxicated)

4. No free stay should be provided to them. (let them try buying houses like all people and see if they can afford to pay the 60 - 40% OR try living on the obscene rents that regular people have to pay)

5. No one with criminal cases against them will be allowed to stand up for any of these jobs. (either the judical system will hurry up or we would have got rid of the rotten apples)

6. All their promises should be made their appraisal points and after each year their salaries should be increased or decreased as per their performances. (at least they will stop making false promises or actually start working on them)

7. Their timings have to be clocked. (lets see how much time they put into work)

well I think I could go on and on.. but will save that for when they increase the drinking age to 30...
So these laws should do for now.. what say Maharastra government upto it..?

Lets Beat Up

There was a report on Mumbai Mirror of a Pani Puri guy who pissed in the cup that he used to serve it in, his reason lack of any place to pee, unhygienic, gross yes. So what should be done, here is what a few political parties decided to do, they went out of their way to beat up lots of food and roadside vender's destroying a lot of property, and I am pretty much sure its without checking who was clean or who was not.

Well I have a few suggestions of my own for these political parties to beat up, here goes,

Lets Beat Up...

1. All people who spit on the roads pann or otherwise.
2. All people who crap and piss on the road.
3. All people who throw garbage on the road.
4. All people who beg.
5. All people who sell stuff by the wayside illegally.
6. All the corrupt people.
7. All the black marketers.
8. All people who accept bribes.
9. All people who give bribes.
10. All who use their influence to get out of crime.
11. All the robbers, murderers, rapists etc.
12.  and lastly All the people who beat up other people just to gain political millage.

Wont it be nice, all people beating up all people, but first all I would like to say let the person who thinks he is clear of all this all his life start the process...
