A Murder, an Exit, Monsoon and Kabbadi!

  This has been kinda drought year for me with regards to posts count in this blog, I have been really busy with work and home. This is just the second post this year, and hopefully I will get back in the tune to write more.


 My last post was about cricket, the government and my work. With regards to the World T20, West Indies won it, and they were playing some really good fearless cricket, a team filled with hitters and all rounders, an ideal combination for T20 cricket, every player played their part, and despite their differences with their board, they managed to shine at the apex level.


 Back to my subject of the post, there is a lot to write today, and I am sure this is going to be one hell of a long post. To start with, this week an Infosys female employee was murdered in broad daylight at a Chennai railway station. Being from same profession, it is really saddening to see such a news, and even sad is, it happened in broad day light, at a public place, and no one did anything. There would have been some shares in social network after, but if someone or a bunch of people would have saved her, it would have been a much happier social network share. In general, there is fear among people not to get involved in such things, because of the bad image the police and the judiciary system has set, people avoid helping others with fear of getting strangled in police and court cases, even though their intentions are good. I believe in one thing, if you have not done anything wrong, then you should have nothing to fear, and you should be able to be a responsible citizen. Hopefully things will change with time.


Another reason why the people don't involve in such issues is because of corruption. Like the police and the judiciary, even the politicians are supposed to be public servants and should be obliged to help people. Many politicians are corrupt and greedy, uneducated and irresponsible, this leads to similar police and judiciary system. To correct this, I think education is important, and any politician in order to get a political ticket should have a graduate degree, by law.


Second thing which hogged a lot of social media lime-light was Britain exit from EU. Indians have very less impact of this at individual level currently, still every one is riding this bus on social media. Well not that I ignored it, I did enjoy some of the creative tweets which people wrote. I do not want to comment much on this except, I hope they stabilize and prosper, I wish the same for everyone in this world. A world filled with happiness, health and devoid of corruption, poverty and crime, would be hard to realize but a wonderful thing to wish and pray for!


Thirdly monsoon, I am living in Pune since past 4 years now, and this year there has been a lot of problem with regards to water, not only in Pune, but in Maharashtra. People dying due to heat and everyone relying on water tankers is a very sad state to witness. After long and anxious wait, monsoon is here, and experts have predicted a normal monsoon, which is a respite indeed. Hope is that the water would be used effectively. If not now, hopefully in less then a decade Maharashtra and whole of India would be drought free!!


Finally Kabaddi, today the fourth season of Pro Kabaddi league has started, something I enjoy watching. it is a very fast game which involves physical fitness and mental alertness. Thanks to this league, it has gained a lot of popularity now. It is a sport invented by us, and although it is not our national game, even as a nation we are very good at it.

Finally here's wishing everyone good health, happiness and success!
