Politicians And A Heaven Called BCCI And State Bodies

By Dr. Vivek Kumar Srivastava

18 December, 2015

( A satire on the politics- cricket relationship)

If you are born in India and have chance to join politics, by virtue or dynasty or manipulation; you have a chance to visit a heavenly pasture where glittering lights sparkle as sun and fun and pleasures flow unbounded, where the plebians have no opportunity to peep, the land is BCCI and its state associations.

Democratic India can boast several achievements, achievements as sending Rakesh Sharma to space but nothing is as brighter as to head any cricket body and if you are graced directly by the Goddess Luck, you have fair chance to be head of this pastures of heavenly land, BCCI or its affiliates, but for that you have to be full time or part time politician or networked with them or forget the sight of all that glitters.

This is a pleasure land where all beauties of power and pelf prevail, where the sorrows evaporate and the happy days are here again song is always sung. The participants are political personalities of different political shades who dissolve the political differences but sing the song together; it can happen only in this heavenly land only.

Indian politicians are very careful and concerned about the upliftment of the cricket in the country. They always care this game because this is their bounden duty to serve the nation. They take charges of presiding the game because all the ills of the game are evaporated due to their sincere efforts. Match fixing, IPL circus are well managed, by communication skill or allowing time to pass as people have feeble memory. They are so much engrossed with this cause that they have no time to think about the soldiers on the borders or the beggars outside the temples. They are so concerned that a media born God is conferred the highest accolade of the nation though great players, war heroes and writers lie in the graves or about to leave the planet earth, GOD is create by media but respected by the politicians, pushed by some political person and GOD is here to celebrate the highest achievements; really politicians are concerned about the GOD., really great care. WE THE PEOPLE must learn the care ethics.

It is their bounden duty to serve the nation; if cricket is not well administered then nation may lose world prestige. India is recognized in ten countries due to their efforts, rest countries in the world are no country as they do not play game, and they are unnecessarily busy in the work. Look in India, BCCI and media with great support of the politics have brought so much pleasure to multitude of the people. They are more relaxed as they are busy in knowing the score cards or celebrating the century as it is as good as finding the treatment of the Dengue. The enjoyments are made available by this heavenly body, BCCI and it is immune from transferring any information. What a great joke, if you spend some money from NGO, scanner is on you but they spend how much, where, in which manner is blurred.

This is great national service but only the people in the politics have the opportunity to serve the game. It is natural, they are more adept than others to run the show business, politics is their learning ground and cricket administration is their expression of so hardly earned experiences.

Several enjoy the fruits in other way, that is double fruit, we may not have eaten as we come from plebian category, we are not networked, nor a background to be a part of Indian politics, double in the sense that be in power and serve the nation and become the administrator as well in heaven land . Who has the capacity to defeat them? None .

People are unfortunate in the sense as they are like plebians of age of the Louis XI where three classes existed and plebians had to pay more than the others. The commoners pay more for the tickets but the politicians of great Indian democracy feel it their bounden duty to get available passes to their near ones, if you are not so, it means Goddess Luck has not smiled on you, therefore you have no contact with the political personalities. Really bad and sad for WE THE PEOPLE.

So what is the way out for WE THE PEOPLE of INDIA to visit a heavenly place, there are two ways- either become a political man or become a friend of a political person. You have fair chance to be a top level administrator. For this no other qualification is needed. Your destiny will make you available this land. BCCI has several smaller lands as well but these are also available at high premium. State boards DDCA, RCA and UPCA etc. are its smaller versions but here too plebians have no entry as they have no Scorpio, no English, no style and finally no contacts with any politician.

Alas we plebians fail to understand that it is bliss of heaven; not a great Indian circus. Truth is that in the survival circus WE THE PEOPLE are trapped as we are not politicians, so we cannot enjoy the tastes of the top and the smaller heavenly bodies.

Wait for next life, don’t be disappointed.
