ZEITGEIST RULES #2

• NEW RULE - GIVE TENDULKAR THE FREAKING BHARAT RATNA. HE'S ALREADY THE HIGHEST REGARDED INDIAN IN THE EYES OF MILLIONS; NOT JUST FOR HIS UNIMAGINABLE CRICKETING TALENT BUT FOR THE WAY HE PLAYS WITH HONOUR, HUMILITY AND PERSEVERANCE. SO WHAT IF YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE CRITERIA TO INCLUDE SPORTS AS A CATEGORY FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE AWARD. FOR A MAN WHO ENJOYS GODLY STATUS IN THE COUNTRY, THE HONOUR OF "GEM OF INDIA" SEEMS LIKE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. 

• DEAR MR. PRIME MINISTER, WHEN YOU'RE SITTING WITH MR. GILANI AND WATCHING THE INDIA-PAK WC SEMI FINAL IN INDIA AND YOUR COUNTRY BEATS PAKISTAN AND ENTERS THE WORLD CUP FINAL - IT'S NOT CONSIDERED IMPOLITE TO CELEBRATE. GO A LITTLE CRAZY. THROW A FEW BOTTLES. ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T GO COMPLETELY UNNOTICED THAT YOU CONTINUED TO CLAP LONG AFTER MR. GILANI HAD STOPPED - YOU ARE ALLOWED TO EXPRESS MORE EMOTION. WE ALL KNOW YOU ARE A GREAT MAN, BUT A MAN NONETHELESS; NOT A MACHINE SENT BACK IN TIME TO SAVE INDIA. 

• NEW RULE - WHEN YOU TAKE CHEER OUT OF CHEER-LEADING, ITS NOT ENTERTAINMENT ANYMORE. THE PUNE SAHARA WARRIORS MANAGEMENT SHOULD REALIZE THAT NOT EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO HAS TO OOZE-OUT YOUR CULTURE. I MEAN LOOK AT THEM  - THE "CHEER QUEENS". I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IF THEY ARE HERE TO CHEER THE CROWD OR SELL VEGETABLES.
