Rivers and their tributaries -
branch out yet stay connected.
As you dive in from one end
and yearn to reach the other,
sometimes,
if not all the time,
you don't want to achieve what you set out to -
you'd rather
swim, float, wiggle,
butt in and out of water,
rest on some (nearby) rocky terrain
before making your way right back in.
Sometimes,
if not all the time,
its mighty hard to let go of
the road
once you reach the destination.

Filthy Hitch!
Just run ur fingers around any newspaper and its unlikely that you wont find an article on the game of cricket....
Now, this country called India is frenzied. And it fanaticises this 'gentleman's game'.
Lets look at some key statistics:
1. I dont get the TV 9/10 times at home when there's an IPL match going on
2. In 0/10000000000 cases, I find a laptop in my vicinity that does not display cricket scores on any given day
3. There's no way I can get past browsing a TV channel for 10 min without laying my eyes on a cricketer (often awful looking!)
4. Out of at least 15 friends I have, only 3-4 are not cricket lovers. And perhaps in this mileu, I'm the only staunch cricket disliker!
So why should we not, at any cost, like this game or whatever it is? Why is it hazardous to human existence? How will its annihilation eradicate world problems? Read on and you will know:
5 reasons to stay away from this muck cald bat and ball and white, blue shirted rogues:
5. World Peace - The world's at peace when its pieces are in harmony. Now, if all human beings in the world watch cricket, and each one supports a given team, and within that each has his/her favourite player(s), there's bound to be conflict, hatred, anger and wrath among individuals. So, say bye to cricket and support world peace!
4. Balanced channel development - On the days that cricket matches are telecast, nobody watches other television programs. There is an unfair distribution of wealth in the hands of the 'Cricmighty' and this leads to skewed development of the nation/world.
3. Complete usage of the dictionary - Now, this is important. Cricketers coin words that dont fit into the dictionary and hence cannot help in vocabulary development. How u ask? Well, they only say things like a********, b*******, c******, d*******.....undecipherable (ahem!). This is also a serious threat to the future of India (my children!!??)
4. Solid waste management - Cricketers are:
a. Gross
b. Smelly
c. Filthy (among others)
Have you ever watched a game closely. I have (I've had to a coupla times) and hence I know that in no other corner of the world will you see so much spit/saliva being rubbed off on an inanimate object. Wait! There's sweat also from the forehead. And then there's saliva again.....To top it, they spit on the field and then they chew those gross gums and spit them again.... and again and again.....yesss thats a vicious circle....one thats unmistakably filthy. They hug their sweaty teammates at the drop of a hat and believe it or not even share abdomen guards (this is 100% authentic info!).
So would it do nature and mother earth a great deal of good if cricket was wiped off its existence? I dare say yes!
1. Minority Right Protection - I, 'A', hereby cross my heart and pledge that if my rights are not taken acquiescence of, and my interests not protected, I will........
Sigh! wot cannnnn i do? Nothing much (sigh sob)....
But I will defame this game on every forum I can....Junta take note....Cricket Murdabadddddd!!!
Lets shun cricket and -
Heal the world.....Make it a better place
For u and for me and the entire human race....
Amen!
