For the past four days the whole country is abuzz with cricket. Greater and graver issues like the events unfolding in Japan, Libya, Syria and Ivory Coast are relegated to the snippets. To add insult to injury is the media focus on some bimbette promising to go nude if India wins the world cup! That there are people hysterical about the game is a known fact but with media fanning that hysteria, we are only foolishly parading - and approving - our misplaced priorities.
Would that 'noble lady' have any better ideas about assisting Japan or Libya in the ongoing turmoil? I guess, there are plenty of people like most of our Brothers here in the Seminary: willing to go to any extent to get the approval and acceptance of the other, especially to be in the limelight but will not move an inch if it costs us or challenges us! Anything silly thing will appeal us but not lasting values and search for meaning for our existence and actions. Anything hysterical and exciting but not something that demands a daily commitment, a perseverance lasting beyond our grave!
