Man of the Match 'Faisala' at Faisalabad

I couldn’t understand why R.P. Singh was awarded the Man of the Match Award for the second test in Faisalabad. It’s understandable that award could not go in favor of batsman, because the pitch was in their favor and so it becomes imperative that any good work from the bowler’s side be rewarded, but then why not Zaheer Khan? He took 7 wickets and R.P. Singh took 5. They both bowled almost the same number of over and gave away almost the same number of runs and had almost the same rate.
Considering the fact that getting wickets in this dead track was almost an impossible task, having a lead of 2 wickets is a considerable achievement I suppose.
In addition Zaheer scored (with bat) more runs than R.P. Singh :)

RTI... a good thing for India

When the Central Government passed the RTI (Right to Information Act) bill sometime back, I was more than happy. For I knew this is one among several good measures taken by the Government that would help crib the corruption and expose frauds. And a true example is right here. All we need now is to make good utilization of this act and help make India better.

Wanna get Rich?? Forget IIMs.... Get into Politics!!

SC has sent a notice to Mulayam Singh Yadav, seeking explanation for the wealth/property acquired by him/his family members and for allegedly accumulating wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income.
This is the list of his properties as was presented by Indian Express:

In the name of Mulayam Singh Yadav
• 23,876.325 sq feet, converted to freehold by paying Rs 40.6 lakh to Lucknow Development Authority
• Lucknow plot in the name of Mulayam’s first wife Malti Devi
• 10,000 sq ft in benami name of Ranvir Singh
• 14 acres in Etawah
• Flat at Friends Colony, Etawah
• Bank FDs: Rs 26 lakh

In the name of son Akhilesh Yadav
• 3,100 sq ft in Lucknow
• House in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow
• One bigha and 6 biswas land at village Kamta, district Lucknow (sold to Lisa Builders)
• Najul land measuring 23,872 sq ft in Hazratganj
• Benami property in the name of RCS Rawat: plot of 300 sq m bearing Plot No. R6/21 at Vipul Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow
• Bank deposits: Rs 25 lakh; bonds and debentures: Rs 4.6 lakh
• Share in other properties worth: Rs 72 lakh
• Agricultural land 16.3 acres in Saifai; Flat at Friends Colony, Etawah

In the name of Dimpal Yadav, wife of Akhilesh
• House in Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Ward Hussain Ganj
• Bank deposits: Rs 16 lakh; Shares: Rs 13 lakh; Jewellery worth Rs 24 lakh
• House at Lucknow; shares in other properties worth Rs 22 lakh

In the name of Pratik Yadav, Mulayam’s son through Sadhna Gupta
• 18 biswas plot in village Kamta; house at 2/8, Vikramaditya Marg

Some years back the same question was raised against Jayalalitha, but the outcome was none. I guess Mulayam will also be able to get over this very easily.
I blame not Mulayam or the Indian politics, but I blame the Indian mass who despite knowing the fact elects these corrupt ministers from their state. And they do it again-and-again.

Shame India!!
