Punish the whistleblower


Vindo Kambli says he doubts 1996 world cup semi-final was fixed. He raises flag with data, data from team meeting, data from pitch report and data from the fantastic script that we witnessed on that awful evening of 1996. So how does this country with rich cultural heritage reacts to the allegation or rather doubt, Punish the man who speaks after 15 years of actual incidence or may be its too late now or simply question WHY NOW? – Damm…when will you for God shake! When will you move out of this Hippocratic living. The tears from Kamli’s eyes washed away his cricketing career that night. The pain and anger was evident that night. WHY THE HELL DID YOU CHOSE TO BOWL FIRST? – Well there are many questions but no answer – no one is ready to jump in and speak out. Where is Sachin Tendulkar or where is Siddhu?

Execs are busy deciding how to punish this whistleblower. Court case, sanction his retirements, no pension, put him in bar or wipe out all his records. Do whatever you can but punish vinod kambli for speaking out, even if he is correct why so late. Damm….

The fact is that no conspiracy will ever be planned on document or recorded on video. Cases like this can never be proven in court of law – whatsoever is the magnitude. Cases like this should or can only be solved based on circumstantial evidence. Don’t wait for MOM from bookies meeting. Record all team meetings on video – follow this as practice. But this is solution for future. Today, talk to players who were present in dressing room, did Indian batsman played bad shots (intentionally) or the pitch was the lone factor in India’s defeat. Answers many such question before punishing the whistleblower and then I may say – you go it right. But till such time please don’t set wrong examples by punishing or even cursing the whistleblower.

The King and a Fisher

How will kingfisher fly? - is the question our all time most educated Prime Minister is struggling with. Where can I can right amount to bailout and return wings to this haunted little bird. Haunted ? - Yes, haunted by lavish life style of its chairman and wimps and fancies of a man who considers himself as boon to human being.

While our beloved Prime Minister has already confirmed his decision on subsidies to common man, 'India cannot sustain subsidies on LPG, Petrol and Diesel', he is also convinced that Kingfisher must fly again, where does the wings come from doesn't matter. Flying on loss making routes is not Mr. Malya's duty but its his responsibility to announce service discontinuation to masses well in advance and ensure that his customers do not suffer for choosing to fly by kingfisher. Manage your house wisely else you'll end up bagging for the rest of your life.

I hope the noble and wise of Indian leadership don't agree to bailout inefficient management of private and public sector. People of India cannot effort to pay fuel bills of lavish life style of corporate heads. In words of Mr. Rahul Bajaj I see a hope that my money, our money will be used for betterment of underprivileged.
