The Hysteric Indian

Cricket India lost the World Cup in 2007,
The cricketers statuettes are burnt, Mobs attacked cricketers houses, Shouted slogans, Conducted rallies and media was raising its voice to its maximum to blame the cricketers, the board and the politicians! Did people realize that one team has to lose, when the other wins?
Cricket India won the World Cup in 2007 T20,
The cricket team was announced 100M rupees of prize money. Cricketers are in ad campaining in every news paper. Government declared lakhs of rupees worth gifts. The Mumbai roads were crammed for 40 Kilometers with people to see the Indian team, that arrived after the win. For them Cricketers are Gods! The Hockey team, the players of Indian National game were not even greeted by Government when they brought India the "Asia Cup"! huh!
Amitabh failed as an Entrepreneur :
The most revered film personality started a company called ABCL, which flopped losing millions. People are not even bothered to give him his meagre expenses!
Amitabh returns to Film Industry:
The then Prime minister IK Gujral, had a french beard. Nobody was bothered to even look at him. Amitabh, to make his both ends meet made a come back to film industry with a french beard... The next day I could see lot of Amitabh impostors in my office too! India today Cover page has Amitabh, and it closed with a photograph of Amitabh, for nothing except drama that he has done in his entire life but before a camera!
Nagarjuna grows hair:
I once visited Hyderabad 2 years back and saw lot of ruffians around. I enquired my friend. He said that to grow hair to shoulders is the new fashion, set by Nagarjuna, for his film "Super"! Damn!
Chiranjeevis Son makes Debut in films:
The other day I was watching "Maa" TV. The TV had a full coverage of Chiruta movie premier, interviewing all film personalities. It makes sense for 10 mins... 20 mins... Is it worth hours of airtime?
Why are we so crazy about the film personalities, cricketers and not about scientists, philosophers? This is the reason why our country faces brain drain. We don't give one damn value to brainy people. We are only after drama! Our day starts with a film song and ends with one. Our nights burn the oil to see Cricket matches. Did we ever think of improving India by putting our this so called "entertainment time" to a "constructive work".
If the crowd that Mumbai has gathered on the Cricketers return, has gone to any Government hospital for 10 minutes, it would have cleansed the corruption there. If it went to any government office there, the projects would have seen a light. If they went took one brick each, they would have built a 10 KM China wall. If they had given 10 rupees of their money to a red cross society, that would have made 100 families get a square meal for their life.
When will we learn all this? Are we a developed Country or still a developing country. Ignorance and the lack of right education in India are the causes for not setting the right goal to youth!
