Where is the good news !

I was trying to recollect the news flow in the last couple of weeks and was surprised that there was hardly any good news. I thought to list them down

  • Stock markets are crashing - the excess of the last year are being culled, interest rates are reaching for new highs making all the home owners on floating rate see red throwing their budgets haywire
  • Indian cricket team crashed out of the world cup - for a change I think though its good though reflecting the symptomatic crass
  • global warming is in renewed focus - most of the seasonal patterns have gone haywire the famed Indian summer is in its full glory - water shortage and load shedding going hand in hand
  • Arjun Singh has come back from the death bed and is hell bent creating a reservation Chakravyuh the impact will be felt on the social fabric for generations to come - the irony this time is that there hardly any anti- reservation protests
  • Oil prices have reared their ugly head again and quietly on the way to make new highs making any kind of social driving un-viable and also flying
  • the faith in the CBI is at an all time low - acquittal of Pandher in Nithari killings and the quite burial of the quattorachi case
  • UP elections are round the corner - any election in India cannot be a good news particularly when the largest state is going to polls.
    Some body give me a good news ....

Loads of prime time news has been devoted to the discussion dissecting each of the issues with instant SMS polls - alas of no use.Since every Indian has the birth right to comment on the state of the cricket affairs - My two pennies on the subject
I have been keenly observing the outpouring of emotions India's exit from the cricket world page. The amount of time spent by the various news channels in dissecting the reasons is humongous. The media coverage has been mind boggling particularly for a no cause. Times of India had carried a front page article on game theory just before the India Srilanka match. The whole world knows what happened in the match. Even the Trps of a non event like the
Bangaladesh vs Bermuda match was high . All non decrypt past cricketing zeros were commenting on the performance of the current team oblivious of what they had done in their prime. It is all the making of the great Indian Tamasha. Latest - a three way slanging match between BCCI, players and the great guru greg .
