IPL and the Pak Players

It is very sad, but it's also quite simple. The IPL teams are owned by individuals from Bombay. They are still very VERY upset about 26/11. And the obvious anti-Pak sentiments.
If Shilpa Shetty and Preity Zinta, and Shahrukh Khan owned the Hockey Cup, or T20s or CWGames, I am sure the same would have happened then.

It's sad that because of a few terrorists, Pak players have to suffer some financial loss. But please look around, there is worse that has happened because of a few terrorists.

As for all the sensationalism over 'humiliating pak cricketers', I think they brought it on themselves the minute they started playing for Indian states as Mumbai Indians, or Kolkata Riders or whichever other team in the IPL.

Tomorrow I will not be an Admin ASS.

"Do you have any questions for us?"
"Yes, is this job permanent?"
"Yes."
And my heart sank - not the reaction I expected.


I am about to do, what I do best - Quit. Yet again.
But this time around, I am certain that I will not be going back to admin-type sucky jobs.
I am going back to school. Not sure what I will pursue, but I will, for now, focus on absorbing all the learning and creativity and the freedom to dream that university has to offer.
As we grow older, so do our fears. We lose confidence and goals seem ever so unachievable.
"Beta aap bade hoker kya banna chahte ho?" Most of us have answered that question. At an age when we can't even spell the word "Astronaut" somehow becoming one didn't seem so difficult.
I can't seem to remember my answers to that quesiton. Having the eager-to-please kind of personality and being zero ambition, I am sure I answered what ever I'd think the person wanted to hear.
I still don't know what I really want to be. But I do know with utmost certainty what I do not want to be.

That bitter middle aged admin-assistant who didn't have the courage to quit her thankless, brainless permanent job with the government.

So here goes nothing.



An uncle of mine had this status on his facebook this morning:
"performed 2 divine miracles today at -10°C: like Moses, parted water (shoveled snow), then like Jesus, walked on water (frozen pond)."

Such a believer!
