LUCKY YOU

On my way back frm my home town to Delhi with the help of our beloved Northern Railways, i saw a saint wearing saffron coloured clothing commonly known as chola, with a pair of slippers in his hands instead of his foot, sitting on the grnd alongside railway tracks at Bhiwani(one of my favourite town as it gave me d opportunity to meet some wonderful ppl n frnds which i cherished most) railway station. I was listening to d track (You-Switchfoot) sitting inside the AC coach on a very nice day with sun in the sky though it was quite chiily. It was 11 am n i was luking outside frm d window as i saw outside, d saint extracted some juice frm a orange in a cup, drank it, n then laid down on d grass with the satisfying look which you can't even find on the face of a man driving a mercedes.(I wondered about how much juice could he have been able to get from that single orange, smiled) n then he laid down on d grass. I don’t know but i smiled n told myself that i m gonna write abt it although it wasn’t any significant event n i took out my phone n started typin...(it was a dreadful exp guy coz i m not a guy who is texting everytime as i don’t ve a girlfrnd n my frnds doesn’t bother me too much)(Track:I got a feeling-Black Eyed Peas).

The guy (saint) was lying on d grnd n he had a very thin piece of cloth on his body not covering him entirely (that wud be quite a site if Katrina kaif was lying with that kind of wardrobe....o boy she’s one hot lady) n then i thought it must ve been a hard time for him to be like this, its quite difficult to be a saint in winter when chilly winds blows out all the d heat frm ur body. Finally i came to conclusion that he was actually a saint(we call them saint coz they dress lyk that without realizing what they actually face, most often addressed as pretenders) n everybody who lives life that way is a saint.(Track:Alright-Darius Rucker).

I usually consider myself an unlucky person but at that moment i realised that how foolishly i was using this word “luck” as i have no idea wat that word meant. I was the lucky person there in that situation and the saint was unlucky one coz nobody wants that kind of life. May be he doesn’t want to be a saint, it wasn’t his choice or may be it was forced upon him n he couldn’t resist that’s why he was unlucky. Please mind that here i m nt talking abt saint like aasaram bapu etc whom got away with a murder coz one of his follower was happened to be a judge, but the saint in my story ain’t got no followers n he is all by himself.....(Track:Hard Sun- Eddie Vedder/Corin Tucker).

It wasn’t like i was feeeling happy at that moment coz god doesn’t choose me to play the saint part but i don’t know i cant explain what i was feeling at that time. Only one question came to my mind how can we describe an unlucky person???? A girl-women who got everything but not the way she wanted(career,husband,boyfrnd etc) or a girl who got raped or molested by some sickhead(s).....??? A person who wasn’t able to buy a house for his family in his whole life or a person whose beautiful house got burned down in riots and now he is living on the streets.....??? A kid who never got good marks despite the hard work or a kid who never got a chance to be in a school ....??? A person who got a challan frm the traffic controller for overspeeding or reckless driving and he missed the most important meeting of his life or a person who got killed in a road accident because of someone else fault.....???( Track:Society-Eddie Vedder/Jerry Hannan). The more i go with this the more absurd it would seem...............U decide urself......

We never get what we want, we never want what we get, we never have what we like, we never like what we have and still we live & love. That's life. We have our disappointments but remember somebody haven’t got the opportunity to be disappointed at his or her failure.(Track:What a wonderful world-Louis Armstrong).

WHEN A TIGER BECOMES A CHEETAH


Two days after allegations of Tiger Woods' infidelity popped up online, Woods crashed his car into a fire hydrant and tree outside his Orlando mansion at 2:25 a.m. the morning after Thanksgiving. Police and EMTs who responded found Woods drifting in and out of consciousness and took him to the hospital. Although it was initially reported that wife Elin had rescued her husband from the car by taking a golf club to the car's back window and dragging him out, rumors swirled that she had actually caused Tiger's injuries when confronting him about his affair. Woods turned away police three times in the days following the accident and didn't release a statement until two days later. Since then, more women have stepped forward claiming they were also involved with Woods. On Dec. 2, Woods apologized to his family and fans for his "transgressions”. Tiger Woods said he let his family down with transgressions he regrets “with all of my heart,” and that he will deal with his personal life behind closed doors. The list of women's alleging to have had an affair with Mr. Wood is now at 11 :

1.) Rachel Uchitel
2.) Jamie Grubbs
3.) Kalika Moquin
4.) Cori Rist
5.) Jamie Jungers
6.) Mindy Lawton
7.) Holly Sampson
8.) Joslyn James
9.) However 3 remaining mistress of Mr. Wood said that they doesn’t want to be identified.(One is from Florida and the other two are from UK)

Welcome to the Tigerland….But what is the main reason behind this?? Why he cheated?? He has a good career, beautiful wife n kids ,money, fame, Iconic status in his country n everything that a man could possibly dreamed off …….Why the hell he gave up all of this??? What was going on in his mind at that time??? Before we speculate on the reason behind this scandal …we first find out the psyche of a man…….”A man is as faithfull as his options “…………….it is easier for a women to turn down sex coz she was dealing with that kind of situation when she was 16 or so…but foe a Man …No No….We cant turn it down its like a miracle whether u r a high profile celebrity or a manager or any other professional or student…Its like we want to find out all the different flavours of the ice-cream or like keeping our options open…..haaaa…….Dont feel offended bcoz its my own perception n may be its wrong ……haa…….But let just concentrate on tigers case…..What could be the possible reasons???.....Either he was bored out of his life?? I don’t think a person earning millions, winning every tournament, National Icon, No 1 golfer …...couldn’t ve that case or may be i dont know…..... Well may be his wife is not hot enough for him?? That is not the case coz Elin Nordegren is a pretty hot n beautiful lady …….. May be he is a sexual psycho/sexual predator/sex addict or something, that he cant control himself??…….but If you carefully study the list of all the names of the mistresses then u will realize that most of them r either pornstars or related to that industry …so it will give strength to our reason that Mr Wood may be a sexual psycho. He may be watching porn when he was 10 or so(addicted to porn) and some of his affairs were before he got married so finally when he got married his wife cudn’t satisfy him(wont agree to do stuff that he wanted)…so he turned to more professional way to satisfy himself (pornstars)……..Well the exact reason will come out when he will confess or may be we will not be able to know the exact reasons behind the scandal or there may be no reasons at all……he just did it(“Just do it” ….is the tagline for Nike ….one of the major sponsors of Mr. Woods…..ha….)!!

Everything apart one has to feel for his wife ……coz everytime a scandal broke out the worst will happen to the women and to her family (especially children’s)……she is not the culprit but she has to suffer coz of her husband stupidity ….se has to make important decisions now as whether she will going to stay with him or not???...But a News Channel said that Elin will not divorce woods for the sake of their children n being a divorced child she knew the impact of the divorce on the child. If she do that then it will be a brave move n we salute her for that but one thing for sure she will forgive tiger(for the family) but will never forget ………..this will haunt tiger forever……..

Speaking of the public image of the tiger …well we all r the part of a forgiving society n we will forget this in next 6 mnths or so (as in Mr wood case so it may take a long time)…….But it will ve an impact on his image as he will not be considered a national icon anymore…..may not get any social or political awards(he may win in golf or not, may be he will take retirement, we will get to know abt that later) ……. Woods makes over $100 million a year from advertising and he has endorsement agreements with Accenture Plc, Nike Inc., PepsiCo Inc.’s Gatorade, Tag Heuer International SA watches, Electronic Arts Inc., Upper Deck Co., NetJets Inc., TLC Vision Corp. and Procter & Gamble Co.’s Gillette. Advertisements featuring Tiger Woods have disappeared from prime-time broadcast television and many cable channels so it may have an impact on his fortune also.
Whatever be the outcome of this scandal or the impact on the tiger family or on his career on thing is for sure its already the Christmas time for the media …………..boy they r enjoying every bit of it……..

Its not just Tiger who was exposed by his scandal there r many celebrities in the past who had done the same thing:

Kobe Bryant

After arriving at a Colorado hotel in June 2003, where he was to await surgery, Kobe Bryant began what he contended was a mutual sexual encounter with a hotel employee. However, the employee, Katelyn Faber, accused Bryant of rape. Bryant, who was married, underwent several months of criminal hearings and willingly submitted to forensic testing. The charges were dropped when Bryant’s attorneys submitted evidence that undermined Faber’s claim and her general credibility as a witness, causing her to decline further testimony against Bryant. The case was later resolved by private settlement.

Rick Pitino

On April 18, 2009, Louisville men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino accused Karen Sypher, with whom he had a sexual encounter in a local restaurant, of extortion. Shortly after Sypher was indicted on extortion charges, she declared that the affair had not been consensual, that Pitino had raped her on several occasions and that one such instance resulted in a pregnancy. Pitino, widely revered as the only coach to lead three separate teams to the Final Four, was not charged based on the claim. He eventually issued a formal apology for the incident and resumed his coaching position at Louisville.


Max Mosley


In March of 2008, Formula One racing chief Max Mosley appeared with five prostitutes in a Nazi-themed sex video. Despite the absence of criminal charges against him stemming from the incident, many in the racing world criticized Mosley and attempted to distance themselves from the increasingly controversial chief. Mosley, while admitting participation in the event, denied allegations of Nazism. He kept his job.


Ronaldo


The world-renowned Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo received attention for an off-field incident involving transvestite prostitutes in April of 2008. After he mistakenly picked up three male prostitutes he had thought were women, Ronaldo claimed that the men attempted to extort money from him after bring told to leave. Although the incident brought negative attention to Ronaldo, who was recovering from injuries at the time, he was never brought up on solicitation of prostitution charges, as the practice is legal in Brazil.

And the list goes on.......
