Two posts...Tooo very confused!!

It must be an absolute coincidence that two of the most hottest jobs in the country is up for grabs...not the right sentence,but still. And the two jobs have absolute chaos surrounding them at the current point of time...one is because of indecision of the part of those who is supposed to select him or her and the other is because he turned down and snubbed those who selected him.
Welcome to the chaos- the race to Rashtrapati Bhavan and the coach for the Indian Cricket team.
Not that both are very wonderful jobs..but still..The President deserves the respect of the nation and the Indian cricket coach will get the respect and the brickbats.
Still both the posts have lots in common.
1) Both are extremely high profile jobs, but neither have the absolute power to have their say in most matters.
2) Both work for the country...the President actually does, because he is the President(but I doubt it...considering the fact that he has to work with uncooperative so-called people's representatives in the parliament) and the Indian cricket coach because he is supposed to turn around the destiny of the nation with 11 highly paid poor performers!!
3)The President will get stiff opposition in case he pardons somebody or signs the office of profit bill..the Indian cricket coach will get reprimand from the board and the players in case he blasts a non-performing player with the media (but who cares man...he gets paid millions..so all the media glare is worth at the end of the day...and who knows he might get a better offer once his term with the Indian team is over)
4)And both get high security cover..the President because he is the President and needs to lead the country and the Indian cricket coach, because he needs to be protected from the people, each and every time the Indian team performs badly (I think he will easily qualify for z plus security)

While our Honourably President surely deserves a second term, our wise men (the politicians, if u dint figure that out) decided that no one should be given a second term,no matter how respectable his credentials are.Also, they want a secular, political person with impeccable credential for the post. WAIT! Secular and Political?? That doesn't sync..nor is it logical. A political person with impeccable record is fine..but how come a secular, political person?? Very funny!
So while the politicians are busy with rejecting one candidate or the other for the post, Mr Graham BMW...oh Sorry...Graham Ford, who currently is the coach of the Kent cricket club decided to show the bosses of Indian cricket, who exactly the Boss is.( Not Rajinikanth..I m not talking about his movie Sivaji-The Boss)
So by turning down the offer made by the BCCI, Ford has made sure that he can live in peace and make sure that Kent wins most of the matches and tournaments, which would just be a dream had he decided to coach our illustrious cricketers..who I learnt that do not know the basics of how to hold a cricket bat after playing for the country for so many years and need to be taught(finetuned!!) about it.

Whatever happens...interesting times are ahead as the tamasha (esp with Indian cricket) unfolds over the week.
Welcome to the Chaos..Once again!!

Did Helmet evolve from Hell Met???

I m not sure if the word helmet evolved from 'hell met'. But the new regulation making helmets compulsory for one year old (may be i m wrong..cud even be six to seven months child,since the Motor Vehicles Act doesnt prescribe an age and our beloved government servants too do not know) to the longest living person in Chennai, seems like hell for a few people.
One Sentence in The Hindu today caught my attention..it read something like 'What neurosurgeons could not make people do so far, one government order has.' It does not in anyway show that people in the state are law abiding..but just think of the embarrasment when a policeman pulls you over in full public glare and makes you pay a fine of Rs 100.Oh My God!! The whole world will come crashing down on them,cos they have been humiliated in public...one reason why the compulsory helmet rule has made people abide by it.
The trauma of being embarrased in public is much more than the trauma the person and his family will undergo in case he ends up in an accident and dies because of head injury or has a serious health problem due to it and they ll have to shell out huge sums of money to hospitals and doctors, who anyway mint money. Who Cares man? Let them get rich. A helmet at Rs 500 is too costly for a middle class person...but how the hell does the he or she from the middle class able to afford to buy a two wheeler. Seriously, if u are talking about being middle class and not able to afford a helmet..may be u should take the bus or the train. Oh but then they are too stuffy and crowded!!
Add to that the traffic jams..the unending honking by vehicles on the road, plus the sweat that will pour down the face and the hair on the head that they ll lose, seriously,losing hair is much worse than losing your life. Why give a damn!!
But the point why 97 per cent of the population is conforming to the rule is simply this : "Who wants to get caught not wearing a helmet..I don't want to pay Rs 100 fine , that too to a policeman".
Well neurosurgeons, sorry to inform you, but the state government just reduced your business!!!
