two bits

Two interesting reads from Today's news paper:
1. Job offer in store for Hanif
A government job, a teaching position in his alma mater and two leading hospitals in the city willing to take him in...jobs lined up for Muhammad Haneef Monday, a day after he arrived home from Australia to a warm but chaotic welcome after being cleared of terror link charges.
I am not at all surprised. Its all in the game. Big Brother repeated indeed. How these politicians and businessmen jump on to any opportunity of gaining sympathy from public. What happened with Haneef in Australia is really sad but then the events after this episode in Indian media are even more sad. Why do we try to make a hero out of every possible chance?

2. Mayawati to be immoratlised on celluloid
Titled "Bahenji The Great Sister," the film is set to be released in January 2008.
"The film's shooting will start next month. It will be shot in Noida, Bijnaur, Saharanpur, Lucknow and Agra. The script is based on Mayawati's own book which chronicles all her struggles and tribulations right from her childhood to her sweeping victory in the last Uttar Pradesh polls," Govind Agarwal, the film's music director, told IANS:
There comes one more not-be-watched movie. :)

And here is one more:
3. Tendulkar fails to deliver under pressure - Kapil
"Every time people hope big things from Sachin Tendulkar but often it is only disappointment that we are left with," Kapil told Aaj Tak, a Hindi news channel. "He is thought to be the backbone of the Indian team but many times he has not stood up to the occasion."
Now someone please remind Kapil praji about that teary eyed press conference after Match Fixing controversy. Remind him who resigns from the post of Coach of Indian team instead of standing by the whole team. And who came back to the game after the announcement "I will never come back to any of the post in BCCI." Sirjee, paisa bahut badi cheej hai. Aaj Tendulkar ko dekh kar jalan hoti hai naa. He never won a world cup for the country still gets all the honors. And then nobody will know you if you don't open your mouth every now and then. Ridiculous. Save your grace.

I dont watch cricket much... but I always felt that when Sachin plays, the pressure goes off, and the match becomes one sided, and then people dont realize. Remember that match in south Africa world cup against pakistan, he scored a close to 100 and then the match which ideally should have been very close turned out to be badly one sided. :D

Why did you name the post as two bits... If I read the numbers right, there were three bits... :D

@anoop: I konw I love to watch Sachin play but then I am not obsessed or something. The simple fact remains is that people like Kapil are not doing what they should do. They are making big public statements and other claims without even bothering to check what did they do in their life.

@Goli: Yes dude. I agree with that. But then my point was not that. I am trying to ridicule the likes of Kapil who are not able to shut their mouth up.
And this post is wrongly names as when it was first published it contained only the first two news items. Third one was added later. :)
