The Hypocrite called "INDIAN"

We Indians are perhaps the most astonishing examples of contraerity and hypocrisy.

The recent shameful exit of the Cricket team from the ICC World Cup has shown us how we as people are really big fakes. All we can do is ridicule the players for doing to many ad promos rake in hoards of money and not play cricket.

Ok. I agree. A job not done or done poorly is worth cribbing but hasn't it gone too far this time? Why is fan following being taken to the heights of fanticism? Performing yagna's, praying and fasting for their success and then coming down to burning effigies, stoning houses, even going to the length of hunger strikes and crap like that. Doesn't it all seem unreal?

People, if you really do worship your heroes, worship them enough to know for a fact that even they are human beings and can falter. The chances for failure become manifold considering our Cricket committe is run by a bunch of paralysed, brain dead cretins most of whom have never even picked up a bat in their miserable lives. Making money is their only motive. Cricket can come later.

Most don't have the the time to ponder over such facts. They would go a step ahead and start blaming the coach for it just because he's a white skinned Australian. Let's face is for a fact that we will never know what exactly went wrong in the World Cup when we lost to Banglasdesh. Its over now. Rather than blaming people, it is much more courageous and humble to accept faults and to move on.

The blame game does not end here. Everywhere we see thatpeople are finding excuses to cover up their faults. Even when they know that no one is free of them. Why cant people accept the mistakes they make? In all good wisdom, self acceptance is actually another step to making a better person. But who cares? The lives that people lead these days are as hollow as a flute. Scrambling for that extra buck of money, backbiting, fair weather friends, deceptive promises, broken trust, false sympathies never leave room for saintly thought. The 24*7 work culture has completely transformed the way people live today. And believe it or not, most of them end up as physical and emotional wrecks without freinds or people they can trust. No one would like to spend a lonely life, no? Does anybody have a solution? Please be kind enough to propogate it.
