New Stadium in Pune

Had to chance to visit new stadium in Pune. Lovely stadium. Good ambience and facilities. Its bit away from city but at manageable distance. Public transport is pathetic anyways in Pune so private vehicle is only possible mode (though PMPML initiated special buses) .
The match vs the champions CSK was good. PWI bowling and fielding restricted total to 155. Jessi Ryder stayed anchor inspite of pathetic running between. He never let asking rate climb to unmanageable number. And find of season steven smith completed the hitting and winning. Crowd was electric and behind home team. I dont know why some mature adults behave insane when they see camera. That has been my pain point for all stadium matches. Also the family men and singles were so crass ogling at guest cheerleaders. The comments to players though were witty (eg. when raina came to field someone asked where is rames, the sures-ramesh jodi famous from cadbury or their rivals i dont remember. ad recall lost due to emphasise on humor), but most of the time comments were not so dignified esp to foreign and away players. Ashwin had torrid time esp after his fight with smith. The PA system though is not upto mark as it is in some other venues. Music played was good and added to fun quotient.
The problem is see with this stadium is they have planned only for night matches. ifwe have ODI, for the first half crowd excpet those in main section have to face direct sun rays. Another is the parking management. we had to wait 2 hrs to even imagine we could move our car. some better management can help as they have good parking space. Even stadiums like wankhede which is in the heart of city has better systems. I remember when i was in korea during WC soccer 2002 in Busan. The entire crowd of 90,000 was cleared in 30 mins falt. ofcourse they had metros directly having station on ground and private vehicles were parked at 4 directions with guranteed access to each car parked to exit.
But the field, other facilities are good. Food people were moving around with infated (300%) prices. ofcourse thats their logistics. They dont have change so i lost some money as guy promised to return change and never was seen.
Anyways good match and support for Dada boys. Road ahead midway seems tough but dada had given the team a purpose and inspite of not being able to partcipate in auctions they have posed good challenge to top teams like Mumbai, delhi, chennai. With clarke joining things can definitely improve. I cannot wait for match at eden gardens where dadas boys play KKR . i am sure PWI will have home support.

General Vs Government

Just heard from press release from indian govt that the news which reported that Indian army had marched towards delhi in jan12 is false and imagination by media. That news itself had made many wonder that if Indian Army would have really intended to take over government in sort of coup or so, it would have not been a worst case scenario. India would have joined ranks of banana republics in asia, africa, south and central africa (all geographies excluding so called developed western world) including the most banana and treacherous neighbours we have in east and west.But comparing that to current democracy which does not exist in India. We have a govt which wants to control internet, wants to damage elite institutions of learning, which lives by mega corruption, is driven by foreign antinational agenda, is not decisive to make indian economy transparent and effective for survival, is blaming diverse coalition politics for all ills, is bent on divisive politics of minority appeasement, which undermines democracy by votebank politics, is casteist (though in reverse fashion), which has no policy to fight terror except coloring it by religiuon and obsfuscating investigation, it rolls back its policies, it has no clue tp naxalism who rule roost in dominat areas, it has let down its farmers, it has let down cities by means of unplanned development, damaged environment , uncontrolled mining, lot more..... We have opposition which is non existant, opportunist and though has good governance track record due to past leaders, present seems dicey. we have a civil movement which is much maligned by govt and media and seems like have inconguous agenda. the judiciary is accused and proven of corruption and the appointments are managed by executive. least said about police will be better.so only establishment left unscathed in defence...
And thats where enemies of india (i will name them EOI in short) found and decided to malign last establishment which has respect. EOI is a cult mostly with leftist background, claiming secular but having hidden imperialistic agenda of restoring pre british and post hindu scheme of things where those corrupt rulers could plunder , loot without any fear of law. EOI is sympatheic to beurocracy and corrupt system which have looted india in past for defense procurement deals compromising india's securiy. 1962 war was disaster owing to bad politics and this machinery who had leftist sympathy for communist china. We had a pro-national primeminister in Indira Gandhi who had luck and guts to allow great generals like sam makekshaw to operate and help us win in 1971. She had a great international resolve during pokharan1. We had well meaning prime minister in rajeev gandhi though accused in bofors case hampering army, still he was few distances away from EOI. Now that he was eliminated in srilankan tangle. Rest of his clan now appear to be in control but the relation between EOI and first family is still matter of surmise. Then we had a change in government and he had combination of best PM and President in Atalji and Kalamsir.
It will be tough to blame the EOI within army which resulted in kargil blunder as it can be termed most as treachory by pak and negligence of our establishment. Though coruption and EOI mattered. The much maligned bofors gun and sheer guts of our army and leadership by men at control in kargil led to a very difficult and costly victory. I had a chance to speak to a captain during my trek in himalayas. We spend a whole evening amidst mountains with this brave man who shared all those insights of kargil, defence working and lacunae. But hats off to sheer bravery by army. its the corruption and EOI intervention which is hampering army. The stablishment is rotten that its difficult for honest man to survive. thats what seem to have happened in the VK singh espisode. He must have taken on system. and EOI has made his victim for that. Thats my analsys. Suprisingly media except DNA has joined EOI to malign hi,. TOI had a skew opinion poll, Express suggested a coup in very irresponsible manner. The leakage of document to DNA was a tacit act of EOI to malign indias only respected entity. The points raised by Gen seem valid and no one talks about them as concern. Its disaster to keep such documents in public and DNA should have been more responsible. But mole seems to be part of EOI. Thats my take on this. I feel General is victim and we should support him. Even opposition join govt in maliging general. Dont know about stand of Team Anna or civil society on this. Ofcourse proven EOI usual suspects have blow trumpets like media moguls like burkha clad queen, annoy roy, arnab know it all goswami, dileep pakigaonkar, dileep saradesai's karte, bacchan of express, then the antinationals like NBA stalwart, Goddess of mean things, anti modi brigade, thinkers of bollywoods with pak sympathies, those who run aman ki asha campaigns with terrorist state.
Those who do corruption, those who undermine india, those who divide people of india on caste and religion are ruling the country. Its call for someone to take them on...
The talk of coup though seems mischeiveous and its high time we end this EOI reign over India. India has a great future , its a great country and we will make change as people of India...
