I have a very nice suggestion, in case the CWG games are called off, and that is to fill up the J.N stadium to its capacity and in full view of a packed stadium bury both these scoundrels Kalmadi and Bhanot up to their necks in concrete, and let them rot there. By this noble act the full shame that these two corrupt crooks have brought on our nation will never go away, but at least those of us who are seething inside will find some peace with the sense that at least some justice is being done.
By his stupid remarks on television watched by the whole world, Bhanot has confirmed that he pisses in his own living room and sleeps on beds soiled by dogs. That is his standard and personal life style and he is very smug and happy about it. We the nation of India do not have any objections to his life style and his standard of living, but saying that his standard of hygine is the same as the rest of India is disgusting. He should be hanged for this. He has announced to the world that we proud Indians are filthy and live the way that he does.I don't think anyone of us can ever forget him for this.
The rest of the world has already written of the Commonwealth games and for all of us Indians it is the tragedy of this century, when all of us helplessly watched a small group of men swindling crores and crores of rupees, enhancing their personal wealth and putting all of us to shame.

When Judas' rule the day
Once upon a time in ancient times
Lived a man named Judas
Seemed Humble but was wily,
Was always there ready to please
Joined the Lord and played his wiles
And became one of the chosen twelve.
As one of the chosen twelve
He lived and shared life with the Lord
Always professing love and eternal devotion
He followed him wherever he went
And, to all around there was no one
As devoted and as humble as he.
But, all the while his heart was cold
Scheming and making plans to betray,
His master and Lord, in the most heinous way
For a few pieces of silver
He did it in the end
With just a HUG and a KISS.
Just a hug and a kiss mean so much
To so many in this world today
True love and feelings of loved ones
Who mean and care so much
Are swept aside and forgotten when the Judas’
Encircle you with hugs and kisses.
Oh ! these sweet hugs and kisses of betrayal
Seem to blind so many around us
While true love and feelings from their loved ones
That are so profound and true are ignored.
But true love sustains in the end
From all these assaults of hugs and kisses.
Why do bonds of love and relationships
Have to go through such pain and sufferings?
Why not the victims who are our loved ones ever realise
The existence of so many Judas’
Who lure and blind them today, will tomorrow
Will only betray with a hugs and a kisses.
As he once did our Lord.

Conspiracy theories
The Pakistani match fixing scandal story is running on expected lines. Their High Commissioner based in London is on a fast track mode to destroy whatever little credibility is left. The disease of cover ups, be it in politics, on terrorism and now in sport seems to only spread rather than subside. Every utterance coming out of the mouths of the Pakistani officials only makes the world laugh. Unfortunately sane voices of people like Imran Khan and others who played the game with passion and pride are quashed. I do not think any international side would like to play cricket with Pakistan any longer because the cheats seem to have taken over the game there. With each passing day the number of suspects in the team is rising and the officials instead of addressing the issue are burning the midnight oil to come out with innovative theories of international conspiracies against Pakistan. They don’t realise that these silly cover up stories have gone stale and nobody believes in them any longer. The High Commissioner would have been better off writing suspense thrillers instead of being the country’s diplomat.
As usual the first finger is always pointed at India and in this case also at the ICC, and the rats which had all drowned in the recent floods have re surfaced in the High Commissoner’s closet, as he has stated that he is smelling a rat.........hahahahaha.. He is yet to understand how deep this crisis is for Pakistan cricket is and therefore should be immediately removed from any position involved in conducting enquiries and investigations related to this scandal. Each minute of his continuing will take Pakistan another step downhill. People like Imran Khan, Sarfraz Nawaz, Abdul Khadir should be immediately brought in with instructions to come down on all those guilty with a iron hand. Never mind if the entire team is sacked. It is no longer a situation of being innocent until proven guilty, but guilty until proven innocent. That is the one and only hope for Pakistan cricket or else it is goodbye. And this would also destroy all sport in Pakistan.

Match fixing and cricket
Over a decade ago the match fixing scandal in cricket almost destroyed the game. A lot of prominent cricketers like Azharuddin, Jadeja, Manoj prabhakar, Salim malik, Hansie Cronje to name a few saw an abrupt end to their careers. Since then slowly the scar seemed to have faded and the game of cricket seemed to have come out of its worst ever crisis. The ICC formed an anti corruption unit and these retired law enforcement officials appointed by the ICC seemed to keep a close watch on all matches and players, and have things under control.
Yet every now and again murmurs were being heard and fingers were being pointed mostly at the Pakistan players and at times others like the West Indians. Various investigations have being held now and then, the most serious being the one after the death of Bob woolmer, when a section of the world press said that he was done away with since he knew too much. The Pakistani board more than once conducted investigations of their own, suspended many a player , only to bring them back a few months later citing lack of evidence or misunderstanding or language problems.
But over the past week the scandal seems to have returned with a vengeance like the plague of ancient times. Nobody now knows where all this will lead to. To cricket lovers like me the whole thing brings a very bad taste in the mouth. I don’t know which one of the matches that I have passionately watched over the years sometime losing sleep, sometimes missing work, sometimes missing holidays are real and which ones are fixed. If all the matches that I have watched have been fixed then I would be better off switching to watching WWF wrestling on TV from now on. It also builds a rage within that me and I am sure with all the other cricket lovers across the world that we have been taken for a royal ride by these fake stars, who in my opinion will not hesitate to sell their own mothers for a few additional pennies.
Look at the wages and the endorsements that each one of them are getting these days, look at the life style of these cricketers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and West indies where the majority of the population lives below poverty line.They live in lavish bungalows, drive about in the latest cars and yet they have to sell their own souls for a few additional bucks. In my rage sometimes, I seem to blame the whole lot of players, but deep within I would still like to believe that the Gavaskars, Tendulakars and Dravids whom I have worshipped all these years are beyond this. But again if there are one or two worms in a team of 11, it will reflect on the entire team and taint the country.
The Aussies today are sympathizing with some of these crooks and passing statements like their culture has driven them to do it. Is it not shameful to come upon such comments? A country that came into existence just around 200 years ago, pointing at our culture which began with the Indus valley civilization. We who first civilized the world now have to listen to lectures on culture and upbringing from these upstarts and descendants of re settled convicts.
I fully endorse the summons issued by the Lahore High court and filing cases of treason against these tainted players. Their act is nothing less than treason and should be dealt with severely. However, going by previous instances one does not see anything positive coming out of it. Some of the ministers in Pakistan have already begun working on conspiracy theories to ward of public opinion and anger. This as always is the most convenient excuse. Whenever there is an internal problem, blame it on external conspiracies and hide the dirt under the carpet. Unfortunately for Pakistan the dirt has become a mound and may soon grow into a mountain. Don’t be surprised if you see these players suspended for a few months and then brought back next year for the world cup to play more havoc in the cricketing world. In a land of adjustments and percentages anything can happen. Not so long ago the current president himself had a nickname of Mr. 10 percent.
