Thank you media

One day Bangladesh (which is no minnow having already defeated India once and more importantly Australia and Pakistan convincingly) defeats an insipid Indian team and the whole nation (or so it seems if you trust the news channels) is fuming. The sons of the soil are so pained that they wreak havoc on Dhoni's house. (One just wishes they do this to their local MLA's or councillors house post elections). And a couple of days later India thrashes a lowly Bermuda and the news channels can't stop praising the event for the next 24 hours. Added to this the media and other personalities go gaga over Sehwag for thrashing a side which was easily the poorest in the World Cup. Maybe we should include him in the Indian cricket Hall Of Fame.

So where does it all lead. An upset is made into a disaster and a stroll in the park is presented as a magnificent triumph. Hail the media for adding spice to our life. I just can't imagine how boring our lives would have been without you folks. I tell you, the next time we have a religious riot, you guys will be the biggest instigators. Thanks for that in advance.

Appadi kelunga!

You bet.

Did you watch Mandira Bedi go beserk after the Indian innings against Bermuda?? "I knew Team India would deliver when it mattared". Charu Sharma had to intervene and remind her that the Bangladhesh match denifintely MATTERED and we aren't safe yet!
