Evil Atheist

Are religious people actually in favour of Freedom of speech ?

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:06:00 +0000

Dear Readers, I am writing this blog when there is a big debate on censoring free speech.Most of this censoring stuff is put forward by the Indian govt and no one is for it.But the thing is the level of acceptance of things which are different from their ones primary beliefs/superstitions/faiths is very less because most of the common people are conservative and my guess is 80% of the people in any group tend to be conservatives.Now Freedom of speech is sacrosanct in western democracies and it will remain so because of their dark ages past and how they scrapped through and came out off it.Throughout the middle ages better known as dark ages Europe was controlled by the Vatican.Anything that is different from the catholic principles is heresy.People were tortured for difference in opinion with the church and killed if they don't change their opinion.Europe came out of dark ages through renaissance thanks to several revolutions and all people who wanted progress allowed freedom of speech.People like Voltaire always wanted separation of church and state.This is the definition of secularism.But the India defenition of secularism is equal respect for all religions.This definition is reflection of society and based on the tolerance levels of different cultures.Whenever the debate on censoring free speech the first person comes to the discussion table is MF Hussain who is considered as Indian Picasso in the art department.While anyone who fights for freedom of expression will defend the right of him to draw nude images of any hindu Goddess.This is because Hinduism is pantheistic and accepts anything as God.But critics question what where MF Hussains intention in drawing nude pictures of hindu goddess when he knew very well this will affect the minds of believers.However art should not have any restrictions and its the freedom of the artist to express his thought.He is a normal practicing muslim who religiously puts 'Allahu' in all of his paintings and settled in Qatar after there were series of cases against him for his 'obscene' paintings.Now he could have simply went to court and said that my intention was not to hurt anyone's sentiments and I was inspired by Khajuraho sculptures and I drew these based on that.And for starters Khajuraho is famous for nude sculptures and various positions of sex described in the famous sex book called Kamasutra and some of the sculptures include that of bestiality.Intrestingly MF Hussain was defended in court by union minister Kapil Sibals son.Now Kapil Siba still says I will defend freedom of expression of anyone who wants to express their art. Now there is hypocrisy when it comes to secularism in tolerating art of any kind .As we know by experience one group of people's tolerance should not be taken for granted.A section of hindu right wing conservatives don't allow anything obscene basically censoring another section of hindu right wing who may be ready to accept liberalism towards art always points out why do you give special concession to islam and give step motherly treatment to Hinduism.The question is correct in my opinion.Its psychology 101 if there are two kids and if one kid is given a new dress the other kid is going to ask for new dress.It is common knowledge that Islam commands special restraint when it comes to art and freedom of expression.Because unlike other religions Islam is still to undergo any renaissance or any other transformation.Blasphemy is treated either with stoning or with death threats or 500 lashings which will obviously result in death.Countries with Islamic majority always run under Shariah law a law based on Quran and teachings of the Prophet Mohammed a 7th century uneducated peasant.As per the primary faith of muslims the Quran is the final direct message from the one true God Allah sent through his last messenger Mohammad.I have not read the Quran cover to cover neither I can because its written in Arabic which is spoken hardly 5% of its followers.I have listened part of its translation mostly from Dr.Zakir Naik who is a televangelist who converts people to islam.I must say he is an impressive speaker thanks to his incredible memory power he quotes verses left and right not only from the Quran also from the Bible and Hindu literature.But the truth is the Quran to my knowledge is upgraded/plagiarized version of the old testament,new testament,greek philosophy,7th century science and few Indian proverbs.The God Allah is nothing but reincarnation of Yahweh the blood thirsty God of the Old testament better known as the Father of Jesus.As per Islamic theology one cannot draw pictures of any Prophet or should not worship any idols.This was because even though judaism is monotheistic religion Nazarene's better known as Christianity or followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth were worhsipping Jesus as son of God with idols of him dying on the cross.Throughout the history,islam generally spread through the sword by overpowering culture after culture.First they destroyed Persian civilization then they destroyed Indus valley civilization continued till Indonesia with their invasion.They fought crusade after crusade in Europe with the Christians and Jews to establish who controls which part.Now throughout Islamic history any form of dissent to rulers was curtailed with iron fist.The 21st century is a century better known for clash of civilizations.We have a western civilization which has lived under freedom and democracy while the Islamic world lived under totalitarian dictatorships,Saudi Arabia,Egypt,Libya,Syria,Iraq,Tunisia.Christpher Hitchens celebrated author/columnist/atheist once described about an incident in Baghdad.This may well be a made up one but could have very well happened.One fine day in coffee shop of Baghdad a person accidentally spilled coffee on a newspaper which contained the image of Saddam Hussain.Everyone in the cofee shop become quiet and two gaurds come and pick up that guy,enquires about his family,asks them to assemble in the police station,tortures him in front of their family and they should applaud the mighty dictator Saddam Hussain.Now this is the case if he said something against an ordinary ruler imagine what would be the punishment if he commits blasphemous images or articles about God or his messenger.I must say there are brave souls in islamic history despite death penalties for apostates.Islam to me is a totalitarian ideology just like the communism.A Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh worked with the Somali-born writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali to produce the film Submission, which criticized the treatment of women in Islam and aroused controversy among Muslims.This is not an isolated incident.In 1980s Salman Rushdie a Indian Muslim/agnostic wrote a novel called Satanic verses which was referring to an imaginary prophet who shared his name with Prophet Mohammed.A fatwa was issued to kill Salman Rushdie by Ayotollah of Iran.The Fatwa cannot be repealed as the Ayotollah is nomore and the Fatwa still remains.People who translated the book in other languages were attacked and some were killed. Dutch Cartoonists who drew 'demeaning' pictures of the Prophet were given death threats and Dutch embassies were bombed in Libya and few people were killed.A minister from UP a state in India offered 50 lakh Rupees nearly $100,000 million for the slayed head of the cartoonists. None of the cowards in the media will even raise their voices against such an atrocious act because the reason is simple,people fear violence and they don't like to dissent.Death threats are the easiest way to silence critics.One of the recent attempts to overcome this sort of violence was "Everybody Draw MOhammad day" an online protest by a cartoonist Molly Norris from Seattle Washinton on May 20 2010.The mainstream media generally avoided coverage but a decent success online.Since it was online many thought it would not have any big repercussions in real life.But Molly Norris got several potential death threats.After several death threats the FBI decided to destroy her identity and inorder to protect her name was changed and her location was undisclosed r.Now thats something appalling.Some of the cartoons in Everybody Draw Mohammad were demeaning but nevertheless Facebook did not delete them.Because of these images Pakistan banned Facebook for two weeks and asked FB to remove these images and FB refused and hence Pakistan courts ordered their telecom companies to block such pages. A US pastor named Terry Jones wanted to burn the Quran to commemorate Sept 11 twin tower attack anniversary condemning Islamic ideology.People like Obama Hillary Clinton opposed this saying You have the right to do it but please don't do it for the sake of our soldiers.He finally dropped the idea but the idea spread like fire and a youtuber popularly known as TheAmazingAtheist made a satture on this.Barka Dutt called the pastor Looney because he wanted to burn the Quran.I am sure she never called MF Hussain Looney. Now here is a question to all my religious friends.Do you actually hold freedom of expression above their faith.Read the below lines and choose one of these.The Kaaba in Mecca is considered as the most holy place for muslims and it is considered as one of the 5 important duties of every muslim to visit the Kaaba.But what actually resides in Kaaba is nothing but a black stone in the shape of a Vagina.Muslims kiss the Blackstone just because their prophet kissed the Blackstone.And no one cannot wear any inner garments while doing this.Some say the stone was sent by Allah.The stone was originally white and it is believed that it sucked the sins of people who kiss it. Throughout Pagan Arab history people licked,sucked,tongued,kissed the black stone and Mecca was a place where there were 365 idols and Mohammad's father Abdullah meaning slave of Allah(a Pagan God name) was a Pagan himself.Its often said that a shiv lingam is inside the Kaaba sorry to disappoint you friends your shiv lingam represents nothing but an erect penis.May be if not can you explain what it is?If you are Lord Ram worshipper can you tell me what is Aswamedha Yagna or Yagam whatever name you give.My view is that King Dussertha despite possessing 60,000 wives as per some folk stories or at least 4 wives as per the actual story of Ramyanam did not have any children.Which would mean he was impotent by any medical standards.He conducted a Aswamedha Yagnam where a horse was chosen and after 1 and half years it was sacrificed and its genitals are taken and two words namely bestiality and necrophilia acts were performed in the private parts of Kausalya and other three wives of Dusseratha. In my opinion Christians generally hate gays and I am sorry if you are one of those liberal Christians or conservative Gays who don't hate gays fine but your God Yahweh hate gays as per Genesis chapter 19.Yahweh burnt the whole city of Saddam and Gamorah when men of those towns tried to rape the male angels despite Lot offering his married virgin daughters.And it is clear from Leviticus and Deutronomy he wants Homosexuals to be put to death and christian countries like Uganda want to implement it.And whenever a US military person is dead some extreme right wing Christians carry a picture God hates Fags and you are going straight to hell.I don't think there cant be anything offensive than this but freedom of speech includes this one too.I seriously think Mary was a whore who committed adultery who would have been stoned to death in 1 st century of Jewish town Nazareth.She lied to Joseph that Holy spirit conceived her.Unless you are a fan of The Da Vinci Code why was Jesus roaming with 12 guys who were specifically asked to forbid their family.One thing comes to my mind is Jesus was himself a homosexual and I find no other reason for his celibacy.And I have a right to say this too.Also I have a right to say Jesus never died on the cross,he used his body double and make believe the world he died on the cross and came back on the third day. Now the above statements are blasphemous and anyone who reads will get extremely angry and call me names,hurl me abuses,curse me because it might be something against their perception/faith/belief.People who were advocating freedom of speech will now rethink their stand on censorship.But the truth is whatever I said is a fact according to me and my personal research and however it is offensive I have the right to say it and you don't have the right to censor me Period.Religion and faith blinds people and they want to censor it because they knew if it spreads it may cause deep impact to their psychology.But the fact is freedom of expression supersedes your right to get offended and you cannot control information in a free world and the more you try to suppress the more it will grow.I recommend to have extremely strong faith in god and thick skin and tolerant attitude towards what you see and read

Is it Incredulous manipulation of viewership data on SUN TV

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 20:57:00 +0000

I was a TV junkie during my college days and used to watch movies however crap they may be and used to follow TV and news related information in internet.I have followed the TRP data,incredible growth story of Sun network.Well we have seen Satyam cooking up its account books,but this is something scientific beyond my imagination.
I used to check www.indiantelevision.com for the latest TRP ratings.Tamil audience unlike rest of the country have very few options because of language constraint.So naturally regional channel will get more viewership than the national channels.The television advertising industry is based on TRP ratings.These ratings are provided by TAM(Television advertising and Marketing).Sun TV always have TRP of .5 to 1.5 and in case of popular serials it touches 2.While extremely popular movies will have TRPs as high as 3.Now the TAM ratings are provided by AC Nielsen an internationally recognized company on taking surveys.But then you have to take that with a pinch of salt.
For instance in 2001 they claimed that DMK is going to retain power by winning 140 seats while Karunanidhi lost nearly 100 MLAs and AIADMK+ alliance won 196 seats out of 234 seats.In 2007 they released a controversial survey which split the Sun and the Son.Dinakaran a daily newspaper published a survey just 1% was interested in Azhagiri becoming CM while Stalin was way ahead and even Dayanidhi Maran had 5% votes which makes it interesting.Now they might have conducted a survey the results are usually cooked up in psephology.Dr.Prannoy Roy who gave the exact number of seats in 1989 said it was a fluke.Now coming to the issue in hand,the trp ratings published have changed drastically.Sun TV which used to have top 100 programs across the country suddenly disappeared from this list.Now I checked the disclosures and on 7th Feb they have disclosed that they have no relation with Kalaignar TV by any means.This was clarified after the stock fell 20% on the bourses on panic selling by long term investors.

Everyone thought that it was because of this story(click on the link to read) story by Economic times that prompted the fall.But If you check the date it was released on 4th Feb 2011.The fall on Sun TV was on 7th Feb.Everyone knows that Kalaignar TV has no business connections whatsoever with Sun TV considering the fact that Kalaignar TV was created as a propaganda machinery by Kalaignar Karunanidhi to replace Sun TV a listed entity.A clarification was issued to the exchanges to confirm this.So what prompted the fall?

I don't want to speculate on what happened behind the scenes.But my case lies on the following images.These are taken from IndianTelevision.com which is providing TAM ratings from as early as 2004 or perhaps 2001.TAM data is released after 15 days of a week ending.Its the recognized data for advertisers.Though there is aMap its never recognized though used for reference purposes.

This is snapshot of the TRP details of Sun TV week ending 15th Jan,22 Jan,29 Jan and Mar 3 . Also top 100 programs are also listed.

This is the latest TRP details and Sun tv is featuring on it

Now this post has no prejudice or casting aspersions on Sun TV but this is potentially serious issue.The TRP data for the week ending 29th Jan might have been available on 7th Feb and the stock falling 20% and never recovered from that to previous levels.Sun TVs main revenue stream is advertisements and advertisers local,national,multinational always refer to this data and if Sun TV is not included in this its serious issue for the prospects of the company and its shareholders.The company CFO Ajay VidyaSagar has quit the company.Now one cannot argue that may be regional channels are not watched that much.So there might be a drop in viewership.Perhaps for you to stop doubting that I haved added Zee Marathi and Zee Bengali which are regional channels.Remember the TV penetration in south is way way higher than any other region.So no fooling around yourself.May be the survey sample is changed perhaps yes but then what abt the earlier sample?So either Sun TV is coking up its viewership details by colluding with AC Nielsen or IndianTelevision.com is lying.You choose which is plausible

2G Spectrum scam

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 09:22:00 +0000

When I googled the word Spectrum I found this meaning.
a broad range of related objects or values or qualities or ideas or activities

well here it meant the essential scarce commodity for mobile operators to provide service to customers.But the truth is it involves all set of people from corporates,lobbyists,ministers,prime minister,media,journalists,NRI's you name it they were on the list.
After Dayanidhi Maran resigned in May 2007 due to DMK's internal problems the spectrumgate started.Ratan Tata who is the chairman of Tata and Sons did not like Maran at the helm of telecom ministry.The reason is Maran wanted 20% stake in the DTH business in exchange to Sun network channels to Tata Sky.The New Indian express published this in 2006 and everyone knows this.Tata communication better known as Tata indicom was not into GSM business then and a CDMA operator.It is a very difficult commodity to sell because customers always prefer to change their connections frequently which means you have to change your phone as well.So they needed GSM licence and spectrum to operate for that.Another CDMA operator is Reliance.When the new telecom minister came into office Tatas and Ambanis met the minister and did the formalities.I have a serious doubt whether Tatas were ready to pay Raja when they refused to pay 15 crores to get a air carrier license.I would let the readers to decide but I am told that the contractual stipulation said that Reliance and Tatas were eligible for GSM spectrum of 4.4 Mhz and these selfish companies wanted 6.6 Mhz.
There was some spectrum vacated by the defense which was available for allocation.India was a fast growing mobile market and every company was after Spectrum and here comes our heroine the corporate lobbyist.By the way you may ask whats here role.Her role is very simple quid pro quo.I will give some information you give me some information, use that information elsewhere to extract more information.Her main task is to publicize about their companies to media and power circles.As you know they are very well connected.Nira Radia is so connected that she has breakfast with Ratan Tata,lunch with Mukesh, tea with Rajdeep and Barkha(journalists) and dinner with Mittal.Another well known publicist is Suheil Seth who acts like a holy cow.At the end of the day there are things happening more than what meets the eye and nobody is a saint.

Around October/November 2007 there was huge discussion on Spectrum allocation and it was clearly evident that there were several players who applied for 2G licenses.These include Swan,Unitech which is a real estate company that shot to fame in 2003-2004 with incredible returns in the stock market.122 licenses for 22 circles were allocated at throwaway prices fixed in 2001 on first come first serve basis.The fact that the FCFS was so flawed that several rules were bent and several conditions were made to favour a few were made and all details are out in open and needs no explanation.Its an open and shut case of corruption.When questioned about it Rajas defence is very simple all decisions were taken in accordance with the PM.The prices were fixed by TRAI.Now that CAG report has destroyed Rajas lies he had no option but to resign.
Now lets analyze the blacksheeps. Swan telecom believed to be frontal organization of Rcom which is in deep debts sold its 45% stake to Etilsat group in Dubai post spectrum allocation for 6500 crore when they actually bought the whole thing for 1250 crore.Do you think this news has nothing to do with Spectrum allocation RCOM-EtilSat deal or thisnews has nothing to do with Spectrum you believe in the media too much and don't think for yourself.Rcom had 10% stake in Swan telecom and all details are in black and white and if one does not read it then they are stupid.Not only that Etilsat group is indirectly related to the DMK as per the details.Everyone by now know that ETA group is operating Star health insurance.You can see this company's advertisement during DMK supported media outfits namely Sun TV,Kalaignar TV,Sun news,kalaignar News which is of no surprise.So the money exchange or kickbacks would have come through this route.Its for the investigative agency to find it out.Infact as Arun Shourie claims the CBI by now would have easily tracked and waiting for 2G approval ofcourse Rajmata G and Princeling G and confirm that they have no stake in this.Perhaps they have enough through Boffers.Star insurance handles the Kalaignar Kaapittu thittam(a medical insurance plan for all people with income less than 72000) and state government employees insurance schemes pushing behind established players like New India,Orient and other leading players raising eyebrows of many.In the middle of 2007 DMK needed lot of money to start Kalaignar TV after they broke out with Sun TV.They did not even have a license to start a new channel.So they got it from Raj TV .Some would say Raj TV got only the license amount of 20 lakhs but no part in the new channel.Nevertheless they always remain as a mouthpiece of the DMK and never go overboard.The inflows to Kalaignar TV were never questioned even though most of them were by NRIs.It may be because of 16 MPs of DMK which was the pillar of UPA 1.They bought several new films for unimaginable prices like Sivaji starring Rajinikanth for 4.5 crores Dasavatharam for 7 crores starring Kamal Hassan.Here is a small piece of confession by Kamal hassan where he claims in a open group that Udhaynidhi Stalin can afford to lose 1000 crore and enjoy in an island.Watch it after 4 minutes.

Who is Udhayanidhi Stalin what business did he do to get 1000 crore?He has a production company Red giant movies which produces crap movies like Kuruvi,Aadhavan.
Where did all the money come from?The Kalaignar TV was started with 10 lakhs in June 2007 with kalaignar holding 80% and Kanimozhi holding 20%.Meaning Stalin and Azhagiri entitled for 40% each post Kalaignar.The allocation to Kani was done before to avoid any controversy as her mother is not a legal wife of the Octogenarian.
In the middle of 2008 the DMK faced several problems like power cuts throughout the state,Srilankan war on tamils/LTTE,unprecedented price rise,global economic recession combined with depreciation of dollar making industrial towns of Coimbatore Tirupur to starve for jobs,add to it family feud between Azhagiri and the Marans post Dinakaran office burning case.The Marans went hammer and tongs over A Raja controversy in October November planting news everywhere and almost brought DMK to its knees .Add to it worst rains due to cyclone Nisha hit chennai and negative news about that was telecasted in Sun TV.At this stage the Octogenarian was suffering from severe back problems and was marked for surgery.He was restricted to his wheelchair.MK thought enough is enough called Azhagiri and sorted out all issues within the family and everything changed overnight.We stupid common people had different things to worry at that point.26/11 happened then and we had no time to think about this patchup.
Spectrum was buried as there was no one to feed the media either with news or with money.Thirumangalam by election came which DMK won by using unimaginable amount of money.There were reports of Rs.4000/voter Then came the election in 2009 where everyone including me thought that DMK was losing.However I changed my stance in the last few days due to the unprecedented money supply to all voters and the opposition took the Sri lankan problem as the main issue instead of concentrating on DMK's weakness.Then started the Tamasha/powerbroking/lobbying/information gathering call it whatever you want.The DMK did not appoint a official person to represent their aspirations.Each one was moving their pawns for their best advantage and the corporate lobbyists were trying to push their candidate.Tata was afraid of Maran for reasons stated above.I won't say he moved the pawns to keep him out but as a loyal PR Nira herself might have done it voluntarily.Nira Radia planted news against Maran to counter the news against Raja,Balu and Azhagiri.She wanted to keep him out of the telecom ministry by doing so she can get Raja or Kanimozhi who will favour their clients and can easily lobby for futre decisions to help their business grow and suppress the opposition camp.Its surprising that a person like Nira did not have a direct contact with a congress politician.She had to choose journalists like Barkha,Rajdeep known for their anti BJP stance post Godhra riots atleast in the right wing circle they have this perception.After all media is all about perception isn't it?Though Barkha did not lobby or powerbroke for Raja she is guilty of misusing her position as a journalist.She has good contacts with power circle and even when she discusses these portfolios and names she does not say will talk to the prime minister rather to Ahmed Patel.Who the hell is Ahmed Patel to decide who should be a minister and who should not be a minister in the cabinet of Manmohan Singh.As a responsible journalist why didn't she blow the whistle?Doesn't the wannabe lawyer know that choosing the cabinet ministers is the prerogative of the prime minister?Why should a corporate lobbyist call journalist to mediate to a national party?If Barkha did not help her would she come back to Barkha again seeking to communicate something to the other side?Was Barkha using NDTV to transmit the message to congress using "Sources:" or did she directly contacted the big guys who were in swearing in ceremony?
I am not a right wing lunatic as Barkha usually brushes her critics.Barkha clearly misused her position as a journalist tried to break or atleast percieved to help to break the impasse between DMK and congress .Based on perception if Ashok chavan,Suresh Kalamdi,Yeddy has to resign so should Barkha dutt afterall she is in higher position above all these people.She shapes the opinions of the people.She implants ideas.
As the movie inception says
What is the most resilient parasite? A bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm?
An idea. Resilient, highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed, fully understood. That sticks, right in there somewhere.
Who will investigate the money trail in the 2G spectrum?Will it destabilize the economy or destabilize the country itself?Time will tell.But as a citizen of this country I have done my personal duty of revealing what I know and its upto people to push for the guilty to be punished.

Yoga to relieve from leg pain

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:34:00 +0000

Some of my IT friends say that they have incredible amount of pain in thier legs near their knee.Well friends you would be surprised to know that this is because of your lifestyle.Your pain in legs is because you have a digestion problem and perhaps your muscles are too squezzed.So what to do for this.Its very simple.Just stand as much straight as posible and breathe heavily through both your nose and lift your hands slowly.Keep your hands parallel to each other pointing towards ceiling.You can keep like praying as well.Remember the purpose of this excercise is to stretch all your muscles in the body.If you have back pain or undergone a surgery avoid doing it.

Now without bending your knees bend your body forward and touch your toe with your hands without moving your lower body.If you are really flexible touch your knee with your head.This clears your stomach and if you have any muscle spasm you will just feel it.If you can't bear the pain slowly get back to your normal position.But trust me unless you have a back problem you should do this till you get it right.don't forget to breathe which is why Yoga is superior to exercising.
After doing this never stop here because it will give you just temporary relief.If you want strong relief just try to bend again and this time push your feet back and try to create a hut like structure by ensuring that all parts are stretched to the maximum.This yoga will really test your pain and just bear with it.Once you get practiced with it you will really like it.

Stretch your legs and try to bend your upper body without bending your knees one bit.Now try to touch the ground with your head.Take care that you don't lose your balance and injure yourself by falling.Now this wakens up your genitals and you would just have an unbelievable sex experience after doing this.Well for bachelors try masturbating to realize the difference and the reason for it is it stimulates the nerves between the pelvic bone and the groin region where your sexual organs are located.

I literally walk,sleep,talk and do everything with photon.Its almost part of me.I think Tata Indicom does not know to market this product.If anyone from Photon follow this idea.Ofcourse you have to pay royalty for this.Show an advertisement with a man having six fingers and everyone asks what is it and for the answer he opens his laptop and plugs his hand and browses internet.I have downloaded 23 GB in the last 8 days and ofcourse this is accounted and the unaccounted is nearly 80 GB.
Once again proof for whatever I claim .

SC cracks state hypocricy on mother tongue

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 16:38:00 +0000

In a remarkable turnaround of events SC ridiculed states for imposing mother tongue forcibly on students.Well its a brave move and the SC has really spoken with courage and has an understanding of outside world.I attribute to whatever I am to the struggles and strictness to impose English on me.Had my mother tongue tamil been imposed on me I would have been a dumb ass without a job.If a north Indian living in Bangalore wants his son/daughter to be educated in Bangalore itself there is no way he can have a good education in Kannada because Kannada is not his mother tongue and there is no way you can impose a regional language on someone.There are some politicians in Tamil Nadu who involved in anti-hindi protest today his son is evading the question hour despite being in parliament.Well worse is that he does not know Hindi alone he is not even well verse with English as well.To me the first qualification for a person to become a minister is either he should know hindi or English as he is answerable to the country not only the 5 lakh people who voted for him.People who struggle for mother tongue based education join their kids in KV's and CBSE school.
Read a news about frisking of former president APJ in Delhi airport well he would be the last person to complain about such an incident because he knows better of the security threats posed by terrorists.May be they are not aware of protocols.These things are better swept under carpet than to the media eyes.

BSNL going Air India way and Ramayanam by Moily

All I can say is its a season Maha'Rajas' fall.If a person occupies a seat just because he is close to a family then nothing much can be done.Dear BSNL employees and the leftists who oppose the IPO if you don't act now tomorrow you too will have to pray like Air India employees for salary.There is no way you can sustain the current global economy without going public.Air India went bankrupt primarily because of one man called Gurudas Dasgupta who vehemently opposed the idea of IPO resulting in a severe credit crunch and now it has no money to pay its employees.Congragulations this is what you wanted?
Talking of Maharajas yesterday tamil nadu's maharaja said though he was a rationalist he can participate in this function.But what a shame that someone who married 5 women talking of women freedom.What right does he have to open a book on Ram.He shamelessly roams with two of his wives justifies Vaali and Ravanan for attracting others wives.I can't believe Veerappa Moily's logic to ask release a book on Ram by him.And the shameless trumpet of his television on Dinamani's editor view on him.Well I am surprised by his TV's interpretation of by his televisionon the flatterting comments by him on the chief minister.The chief minister asked for some literary translation of some greek works.Well if a person has time to read greek literature either he has too much time or he manages time very well.I believe a chief minister's job has hardly any time for any personal work.But our chief minister is afterall a script writer has time for felicitation and cinema pooja.Well I am surprised by his intrest in participating in those felictiation functions.May be this too may be read in his television tomorrow.

Frost/Nixon absolute time waste

I thought since it was Oscar nominated it should be a great art film but my God this should be the frontrunner for the worst movie of the year.This deals with the Watergate scandal when Kissinger was overheard by Richard Nixon and impeached as president of United states after an 8-0 verdict from the Supreme court.This might impress the Americans little bit for rest of the audience it was utter crap because there is no twist or turn in the movie.The movie just tells how David Frost got the confessional interview from Richard Nixon.But I found onething strange because when I watched this movie there were several places where I remembered Mudhalvan where Arjun interviews Raghuvaran the chief minister.Well I would say that was great adapation by Shankar .Other than that there was nothing in the movie.Please avoid watching it.My rating is 1/10 for this crap.

Is cancer curable?

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 07:11:00 +0000

I would say yes if you come early.There are lots of survivors these days and each one has a story to tell their story.Recently I heard some of them.I happened to meet an 80 year old lady who was detected with breast cancer when she was 40.She went for a surgery and removed the tumor and underwent chemotherapy which was more painful than the disease itself.She decided to go to the rural folk medicine provided by local so called Dr's.She said she would get up in the morning drink pot water and eat a piece of Tulsi and a strange medicine whose formula only that local Dr's know mixed with honey.She says she never even fell ill for any other disease like typhoid,malaria or jaundice.Ok this may be a one off case but what do halopathic Dr's say about cancers in digestive system.They give 5-10 years maximum for any kind of rigorous treatment whereas rural Dr's gaurentee minimum 20-30 years.One may say its not possible but I have seen survivors who underwent a surgery and removed the tumour and living still.They say that English medicine is fit only for invasive treatments but after that you need to depend on these Dr's.But unfortunately there are too many frauds in this business who shamelessly play with the lives of these people.I believe rather than worrying about this deadly disease lets concentrate on ways to prevent it.First and foremost keep your fat under control.eat nutritious food and sleep well and keep yourself engaged and be relaxed and do yoga I gaurentee if you follow these steps you will never get any disease forget cancer.Some of the yogas for smooth functioning of organs is Sarvangasana.This asana as claimed by yogics stimulates your entire body and keeps you trim.
The way to do this asana is lie flat on a yoga mat and breath in and out once and slowly lft both your legs together and keep your hand atyour hips and lift your back.Now try to bring your knees to your forehead and ensure that you don't fall on your back with your hands.After touching your forehead with your knees start breathing deep and count it.The more you do the better for you and this asana has immediate benifits and you can do it even after lunch/supper.But I would advice to do it as soon as you getup and before bed.This also helps to strengthen your spine especially L4-L5 disc.If you had a surgery consult your Dr before doing this.

Rain disupts Pommies progress

The second Ashes test between England and Australia began yesterday at Lords London the mecca of cricket.Usually the first test begins at Lords but Englands bad record at Lords against Aussies ensured a shuffle in venues and Lords is hosting the second test.The Aussies were wayward in their bowling in the first session of the first day and thats the last thing you can do on a Sunny day at Lords.Lords is a different kind of ground where weather and pitch plays little differently.You can score a triple century on the fifth day and get bundled out for 80 runs in the first day.When the weather is overcast the ball seams due to moisture in the air and wicket and Lords is sloey one side which makes the ball little quick in one side and other side the ball comes little slow.Mitchell Johnson Australia's trump card flopped infact he had a bad second innings at Cardiff as well was blasted by the English openers especially Cook.He not only cooked Johnson he ate and digested him as well.After lunch the Aussies slowly realized about the wicket but it was too late because both openers were well settled by then and cook once again missed an oppurtunity to score a century.By the time the openers got out the Aussies would have realized the damage is already done and on a seaming track English bowling is tough to face.I think England scored 425 in quick time and took 2 wickets before lunch to ensure that Aussies are under pressure.The problem with Aussies is that though they play dominating cricket they always were struggling in moving pitches and I don't think barring Katich and Hussey no one has the technique to survive aggressive bowling when the pitch is moving.Ponting may have been worlds best batsman for 3 years but he has never scored against quality pace bowling .For instance he has struggled against Donald,Walsh,Ambrose on tracks which have something for them.He is as vulnerable to inswingers like Windows to viruses.Once the rain stops Aussies are going to have more trouble because the pitch might be freshened up and the ball starts to move off the pitch as well which makes it more tougher for the batsman.I think England can easily win this match unless they squabble it like Adelaide Oval.

Abuse of right to speech

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:57:00 +0000

Its a shame that women talks rubbish about another women.No wonder the so called female politicians are the biggest enemies for the fairer sex than the hardcore rapists.I am surprised by the media reaction because they are trying to justify these kind of rubbish speeches.This speech is no different from Varun Gandhi's famous hate speech campaign.By speaking like this the individual get free publicity and perhaps win the election with 3 lakh votes.These kind of ridiculous speeches has no place in democracy like ours.I don't know how to stop this.We had directors like Seeman calling congress men as basta**s because they did not protect Prabhakaran and allowed Sri lankan army to march forward.I am sure that these kind of speeches should be punished by very strong laws otherwise we will have some people always trying to disturb the general harmony.

One more media blooper

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:04:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

Times Of India yesterday shamelessly published a news saying Vinod Kambli in a TV interview said Sachin let him down when he could have helped him to make a comeback to the Indian team.This made a huge headlines and worst is that no one even confirmed the news and this is shameful from a national media because the truth is it was a reality show and Vinod Kambli was asked some questions and he was connected to lie detector and the lie detector showed that he answered negatively for those questions asked by the particular reporter.Now this is ridiculous.Because the lie detector narco analysis is just to frighten criminals but they have not cracked a single case including the Abdul Karim Telgi stamp paper scam.So its just a gimmick and if this finds a place in national newspaper I am afraid there is no need for media.
There can't be a humble person than VG Kambli and he has every right to file a defamation suit against all people who shamelessly tarnished him and trying to create ripples between one of the natural pairs in Indian cricketing history.Forget all these is this the way you treat a national icon like Sachin Tendulkar by accusing a friend as a traitor.

About TV newspaper and Internet

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:33:00 +0000

I grew up in a suburban town where buying 'The Hindu' is considered as elitist.I would get up as soon as possible for reading the paper.Like anyone I too read the penultimate page and come back to headlines and watch few pictures and close it.The people of Tamil Nadu are somehow unique in their taste.They are 99% unanimous in any decision they take.Whether its buying The Hindu or watching Oliyum Oliyum or watching Sunday evening 4 PM movie.Have you ever wondered we have a Rajinikanth or MGR or Vijay having a much much superior market compared to their peers.Why Karunanidhi or Jayalalitha could not be overthrown by any other person.Or why Sun TV could not be usurped by any political/business clout?Its because these people are capable of influencing their mind and people are ready to accept and even readied to get fooled.If you say anything harsh about Rajinikanth probably your poster would be burnt.For example I remember when Sivaji was released some Northie said whats in the movie other than few dances and fight sequences.He was literally booed out of that place by a group of Tamilians.People who are between 20-40 know how Rajini's popularity grew along with them.Rajinikanth uses a simple formula.He enacts what a common man cannot do with his own style.You pay to get cheated and you know its not possible but still you accept because you want entertainment.Its like watching magic.This Sunday when Sun TV telecasted Baadshah I shamelessly watched it for 114th time despite knowing each frame.I don't think Rajini himself cannot give a better movie than that.
Ok leave Rajini lets come to The Hindu.Hindu by any standards is not the best newspaper neither it has some modern outlook or some glamarous actress pictures.But how is it able to sell a million copies? Its very simple.Its because it is synonymous to your grandfather.You may like or dislike your grandfather but you don't want him to be away.When your grandfather is not around certainly you would miss him and The Hindu is no different.
So how do you explain a Jayalalitha or Karunanidhi.It is very simple than anything to explain.Unless there is a choice people won't choose an alternative. People are begining to see Vijaykanth as an alternative and certainly if Karunanidhi moves away from the scene which he has to in 2011 will open the gates for Vijaykanth.
So finally how do you explain Sun TV.Well this was the story of the 90s.Sun TV's success can be attibuted to 2 reasons.One is globalization and the other is agonizing telecast of DD.If I was in chennai I would get 2 channels and if I go down south I would get only 1.And that too there will be 2 hours of regional telecast daily and on Sunday there will be a movie.There were only 2 programs which is rememberable.One was Oliyum oliyum and another was Sunday movie.There was a vaccum for a private television to overcome this DD monopoly and pathetic dumping of regional languages.Kalanidhi Maran got funding from DMK and Malaysian investors through his father Late Murasoli Maran.He gave what the people wanted.Songs,Movies,reality shows,talking shows and midnight masala too.It was almost a product of every individual shaped by Maran and he became a millionaire by keeping hold of his position even after 17 years.Sun TV has valiantly fought hostile governments for nearly 10 years and it is not possible for a private enterpernaur to do that without something behind him.By 2000 Sun was in every household by 2006 he came further in and entred every human and now its in the DNA of every Tamizhan.Its impossible to seperate by a manada mayilaada or Velli parisu.Vijay TV was able to garner some attention but it could not continue because you can't provide consistent entertainment through reality shows because the RoI is always less and the risk is very high.And now Vijay is following the same route as Sun to produce serials.What else can a private TV do to survive the financial crisis? Today the Tamil media industry is overcrowded like a fish market and at the top its a highway with heave competition for No.2 spot by 3 channels.
Lets enjoy the competition .

Ashes lives upto its expectation

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:14:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia

One of the oldest rivalries in cricket lived upto its expectation and finally the day clearly belonged to test cricket showing the world that good cricket will always be appreciated irrespective of the format of the game.No wonder then each and every dot ball was cheered more than a sixer or four or wicket by Flintoff during the 2005 edition.However on hindsight I still can't understand whats Ponting trying to do?Is he really a captain at all.When you need wickets why don't you turn to your best bowler.When Collingwood and Swann were batting they were bating to survive and with LBW ruled out there is no question of Johnson.When two left handers Monty and Jimmy Anderson were playing no question of Siddle because straight away you rule out LBW and thats not the right way to choose bowlers.The best way to clean 9,10,J is to clean them up or bounce them up and this is where Brett Lee was missed.He would have bowled Lethal bouncers and probably would have disguised a slow ball and cleaned them up.But the tail enders along with Collingwood bailed out England from failing.The top order was put to shame by the lower order.I think England were certainly out of sorts when they were 70-5.From there they were able to survive means its one of the greatet escapes that England had.Perhaps they learnt to survive from WI who won the series in the Summer 1-0 after a tantalizing defeat at Kingston Oval Jamaica the WI were struggling at Port of Spain and Antigua.Its a great advertisement for test cricket and a good wakeup call for both the teams.The Aussies cannot claim moral victory because they could not take 20 wickets despite having everything in their favour.The Aussies clearly missed warne and Mcgrath who have always been consistent in cleaning up tailenders.Nevertheless the Aussies should move on.
One sad thing was the arrival of Physio to create necessary time delay which is legitimate but against sprit of the game.worst it was done not once but twice.If I was Ponting I would have slapped the 12th man straight away.

Duraimurugan first Is Arcot next?

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:43:00 +0000

Duraimurugan loses 2 of his key portfolios he has been holding whenever DMK has been in power in the past.Even people in opposition admire his knowledge,depth about the public works department and he would be able to recite any detail even from sleep.He had a heart problem at the start of the regime but he continued as the PWD and water resource minister.Now the chief minister has swapped law and order for PWD.Is it because he need not control Azhagiri anymore as he is more busy with chemicals and fertilizers or is it an so obvious depromotion and a warning message to possible future detractors like Arcot.If any minister needs to be changed for bad performance it can be only 2 people.One is the chief minister and another is Arcot.Well the chief minister is not 100% fit and I understand his problem but he is not doing justice by staying in the office.He can concentrate on promoting his channel by writing a serial for his television or movies like Ponnar Selvan which will be bought by his ministers.A chief minister cannot stick to the office he should have proper authority but with striking Dr's,milk officials it does not seem so.Milk,water,health cares are essential services and if some employees threaten to strike there then it shows how the chief minister is taken for granted.Do Dr's have any right to strike at all when they study in government cost and then demand pay for their payback? Well the chief minister is too feared of TESMA and ESMA than the employees themselves which is why everyone is striking and brining common man's life to a standstill.I don't agree with either(JJ and MK) of the people's approach when it comes to handling striking employees.One is dictatorial and other is submissive.isn't there a middle path?
I think the price rice has hit the first family too which is why he has agreed to pen one more story Ponnar Selvan starring Prashanth and produced by Thiagarajan.Afterall how can one manage if Toor dhall the essential component in Rasam and Sambhar costs nearly Rs.100 a Kg.May be provide rice at 50p or free and increase the price of Toor Dhall to 200/kg who cares.Tamil people will anyway vote for you for color TV and rice.Thats what the health minister too advises.watch more TV to stop producing kids.Well is mr.Arcot listening? To watch TV you need electricity mate.Don't blame the previous government anymore.You were in power for 3 years.
Heard that a bridge at Delhi metro bridge fell and 13 people were injured.Well it happened despite working under an able administrator like Sreedharan imagine the fate of our bridges that were constructed by TR Baalu.My advice to you people you can rather walk in rain or hot sun avoid standing under these bridges.I have serious doubts over the quality of bridges constructed by these people.Also I don't know how are they going to construct the bridges for chennai Metro.usually 15% goes as commission to the ruling parties and the MP's and MLA's afterall you need 1000 crore to win an election.May be if the King is gracious enough they may get one more quota in the jackpot 60000 crores.Talking of crores 5 byelections are coming so that means it needs atleast 150 crores to win the election.I am not sure whether the ruling party will spend that much money this time.Well lucky 5 constituency people are going to have party time in this recessionary world.
Sania getting engaged actress Meena getting married hmmm who is next.Someone will emerge.Until then wait and enjoy the antics of the DMK and his party men.

Boaring ashes last nail on Test crickets coffin

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 11:37:00 +0000

The last thing you wanted is boaring ashes and exactly its what happening.There is nothing but hype around the series and England playing like bunch of amateurs and Australia a team that was struggling elsewhere suddenly discovered that they have the batting potential.The captaincy from both sides was ridiculous.This is where a captain like Mahindra Singh Dhoni finds a mention.Remember in the Nagpur test match when Clarke and Hussey were taking the game away from India he deployed a 8-1 half side field and the Aussies were choked and could not score runs quickly eventually helped India to defeat the Aussies fair and square.The pitch is absolute rubbish has nothing for the bowlers.How can something called 'Test cricket' when it tests only the bowlers patience and favours the batsman.England is almost on the verge of losing one of the most farcical test matches in recent time.Barring the 11 players on the field this win is going to damage the game.
If we see great series of test cricket it certainly happened on sporting wickets and flat pitches rarely produced a result and if it produced it has always been batsman show or some exceptional bowling performance by legends like Warne or Kumble or Wasim.If ICC,ECB,CA have any idea to save test cricket they should play on a sporting track where there is atleast reverse swing or atleast some help early on with the new ball.You can't play test cricket by playing on flat pitches.Reserve flat pitches for T20 and One day cricket and produce greenish tracks to bamboozle the batsman.when was the last time you saw Ponting score a century on a green track.I mean he does not know to play inswingers and with Flintoff bowling at 90 MPh England should not hesitate to produce such a track.Is anyone listening or still nailing the test cricket

Piechart using jFreechart in java

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:13:00 +0000

Piecharts is one of the widely used data to compare % share of various competitors and other comparisons.Ok there is a internal java graphics library which is useless and its very difficult to use.To get superior outputs ie. charts using flash you may have to shell out 50-500 Euros for applications like amcharts.com.If you are one like me who look to draw piecharts using java and not ready to shell out any money jfreechart is the way out.All you have to do is go to www.jFree.com and download the latest version of jfreechart.Right now the latest version is 1.0.13 and you have to download the jCommon jar.It is a open source project and comes with LGPL licence.However you may need the guide provided by them if in case you are a newbie or an amateur programmer.It costs $50.So right now just follow the steps to create a piechart.

1> Go to http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart
2>Click on Download tab http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/download.html
3> http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfreechart/files/1.%20JFreeChart/jfreechart-1.0.13.zip/download

This is the link for Jfreechart.remember Jfreechart is dependent on Jcommon whose latest version is 1.0.16.Both are jar files

4>If you are using Eclipse IDE(Ideally you should use) please select Window->Preferences->Java->Build path->User Libraries
4>click on New and give the library name as Jfreechart and click on ok(You can give any name but naming jfreechart serves our purpose.
5>Click on Jfreechart library and select Add Jars.Now select the Jar file you have downloaded in ste 1,2,3.(jfreechart 1.0.13)
6>Click on New and create a library for Jcommon and add the Jar file in it.You can set the Source Folder,Javadocs and other parameters if you have any.
7>Now you have added your jars to the userlibrary and lets test it.
8>Create a new java project and create a new java file.

The Matrix and Terminator are going to become real

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:51:00 +0000

Ever wondered something in science fiction becoming real.Have you ever wondered in your dream that something like a sentinel powered by human bio-fuel to attack you? Well its going to happen.I am not lying neither I have seen it.Aftergoing through Switched.com came to know about this.Just look at this machine developed by The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).the device is called Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR), does not need anyone to operate, steam-powered drone. Its primarily for long distance targets, it refuels itself by devouring any fossil fuels or biological matter in its path. While DARPA mentions using refuse such as apple cores for fuel, it's difficult to imagine these things not being used to harvest people as an energy source.I don't know what does DARPA thinks about human race...

Burger King and Hindu God abuse

noreply@blogger.com (momentumcalls) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:02:00 +0000

I don't know what does the world think of Hindu religion and its God.Its a shame that a junk food company uses Hindu God to market its mutton burger.If the company had done the same advertisement with Nabi or Allah every muslim in the world would have burnt a effigy and a fatwa would have been issued him to remove the head of the advertiser.We saw what was the reaction when Danish reporters drew some cartoons on Nabi.Would Burger King accept if Christ or Mary was portrayed like that? Or perhaps their mother/sister in uncompromising position to advertise this crap.I believe there prevails some sense before interfering in others freedom.
Now talking of religion/culture India is no different.An MLA in state assembly abused Sanskrit and Hindu traditions to promote his opinion that Tamil is a superior language and worst was when an opposition MLA raised an issue saying that don't abuse others sentiments.I don't know what was S.Ve.Sekhar was doing who talks about reservation.Also can Karunanidhi answer why is he not proposing a law to muslims stating that Quaran should be read in Tamil only? Why this inconsistency? I dare him to say that.Unless he says that he is not a secularist.He talks about White thread why not a cross or a cap.Would he dare to abuse Prophet/jesus like he abuses Krishna or Ram.
The central government is once again talking of reservation in private sector.I don't understand this concept of reservation at all.This is like leaving a fruitless tree grow and when it grows you know it will not give fruits you want it to give fruits by artificially attaching fruits to it.Instead if you had nurtured when it was young there was no need for stage dressing.If reservation is instroduced in private sector thats the end of India's growth story.tell me how many jobs were created in government sector after mandal commission..Why should a private company after paying 30% as corporate tax and all other ridiculous taxes and if still government wants companies to follow their line then its better to move out of the country.I hope better sense prevails among the government instead of vote bank politics.If you can win elections with money so can we defeat you with money.Don't make us to do that.

Today I travelled in bus and was sitting in the first row of the bus.I always have the habbit of weraing coolers to avoid external dust,bacteria and fungus.Its a MP3 player too.I bought that last year for 1200 and its worth the price and the glass is fibre and easily removable and can store upto 2 Gb.But I am not going to tell much about the glass but about a girl sitting next to me.When she entred I did not see her face full because I was almost sleeping and she waked me up and asked for a place.Hesitantly I obliged.Travelling in a bus or share auto with a girl is the most horrific experience because you have to make sure that you are not touching her.If you touch her nothing will happen but its just the orthodoxy element in me doesn't like that.I always have the habbit of showing off but this time it was her.She took her Blackberry mobile and typed some email.Well this stopped me from taking my mobile out because it would have been so obvious that I am showing off so I had to wait and after some time I took my mobile and started playing a game and then started typing a message to my friend.I felt like someone called me.Rememeber I was hearing songs and weraing a glass its not easy to feel someone calling her.It was her and she said Hi.I said Hi and I thought she was going to ask me to move a little bit but she actually asked about my mobile.I said its HTC touch and 1 year old and its just 2G and has nothing.But she was not convinced because she thought it was far superior than her Blackberry.She took out her mobile and typed something and asked my number.well too filmy right so lets cut little bit she asked about this mobile and I showed her the touch features like Touch flo,ShapeWriter,Nimbuzz,Skype,Pocket CM Viewer and I did not want to disturb others by my speaker sound as it may rock the whole bus.The moral of the story is have HTC touch to Blackberry.Well if you are a HTC user look for iPhone 3Gs its really amazing and I saw it myself and envying him and planning to buy one as soon as possible.

'Book'aah Naan by John Buchanan

the two time world cup winning coach has written a book and how can you sell a book.He would have asked John Wright and he would have said contact the Indian media heads and write some rubbish about Indian players and the media would do the rest.Well I don't what he knows about Indian cricket barring the 40 day IPL tournament when he was making more news for Fake IPL player than Sharukh khan himself.Well If you ask Warne he would say If coach is a job for people who don't have common sense then John is the ideal candidate.He infact once said John Buchanan was the reason for Ashes 2005 defeat because had he been there as a ball picker atleast he would have saved Mcgrath from his ankle injury.Well after seeing his ridiculous multi captain theory and KKR's dismal performance Shane warne was proved ridiculously right.There are lies,damn lies and statistics which is what was in favour of John Buchanan.Like Siddhu says statistics are like mini skirts and they hide more than what they conceal.John Buchanan was the coach of the Australian team which had all time greats of Gilly,Mcgrath,Ponting,Hayden all playing in the same era and Buchanan certainly would have done the job of ball picking and would have written a better book thanhis current.Its no surprise that he has written a separate chapter on Shoaib Akthar well may be if Shane Warne would write a book he would have left 1 page of the book to write about other players and dedicate the book to buchanan.I don't know when Greg Chappel interacted with Shoaib Akthar when he never interacted with Indian players itself when he was the coach of the Indian cricket team.Why should he get reference from Greg Chappel on Shoaib.
I agree with his comment of Sunil gavaskar that he has bias towards traditional cricket but atleast he played test cricket but what did you play Mr.Buchanan? May be Gilly I mean did you play with Adam Gilichrist ?Talking of camouflaging of Harbhajan well we know your camoflage of yours when you sacked Sourav as captain and gave a ridiculous multiple captain theory.I thought Sharukh khan did not know acting but now I know he does not know to find whether someone as acting.I mean if Buchanan can act as an intelligent pro to a super star like Sharukh Khan then certainly the problem is with one
