Top story, a child actor from the movie slumdog got slapped by his father. This was the tops story in one of the news channels. This happened when one thought the media couldn’t get any lower. Come on, give me a break, I have been beaten up far worse by my father many a tome and no one gives a damn about that. Children in India get abused a lot and no one reports it and when something happens to a child actor its breaking news. On this incident the whole family was interviewed. The child was like dad loves me so hit me. Mother was saying there is plenty of love in the family. Dad was like it was just because he got angry at that point in time. Come on!! I don’t think I need to say anything more on this issue to highlight the utter absurdity of the whole thing. 

A news report that caught my eye was the feud between ICL and BCCI. I knew that BCCI didn’t like ICL but only came to know about the ridiculousness of the whole issue recently. Sachin and Karthick were pulled out of a charity match because in that match there was a player who had once played in the ICL( who is currently not playing). Can the BCCI get any more childish? It’s like saying the players under BCCI won’t have fun if the people who are even remotely associated with ICL are part of the fun. Can it get any more stupid? Laxman was not allowed to play for a county because that particular county had players from the ICL. If you look at it in a rational manner whose lose is it? The BCCI won’t have this authority for long. They appear as an insecure dictator who will soon loose its power. Not allowing people to play in a charity match is condemnable. I can understand not allowing players from the ICL playing in BCCI events, I don’t see what the problem is if players under the BCCI play along with ICL players (not under ICL). This is modern racism and shouldn’t be allowed.
