Ashok Dinda Pleaded Bookie for Spot-fixing: Sting Operation.

Even as the nation continues to grapple with the shocking revelation of spot-fixing uncovered by the Delhi Police this morning, yet another controversy has rocked the world of cricket.
In a sting operation, carried out by Tehelka, a bookie has confessed to accepting offers made by Ashok Dinda in another spot-fixing exercise.
Ashok Dinda, allegedly approached the bookie and offered him certain overs of the match for a fixed price. The bookie, now in custody of the betting fraternity has accepted the charges and called it a 'momentary lapse of judgment.' The bowler, reportedly promised the bookie maiden overs in the match, or even wickets.
The bookie, identified as "Manoj Tripathi" was caught by the Betting Association of India, an unofficial and secret organization, after tip-off received from another bookies on Tripathi's alleged involvement with the bowling stalwart, known for his pace and ability to swing the ball on all kinds of pitches.
"We have clear, concise rules regarding some players. What's the point betting on an Ashok Dinda when you know his game is so flawlessly consistent?" noted one bookie operating from Noida.
BAI's spokesman, Rahul Kumar has come out in strongest words against the news and pointed out how rewarding the industry really is and how IPL is an amazing platform for young talent to showcase themselves while also being rewarded handsomely. He observed that this just goes on to show that greed is a never-ending problem, or why else would one compromise their morals and ethics by completely disregarding the principles of the very same institution that gave them so much. He obviously was talking about Manoj Tripathi.
Sir Ravindra Jadeja was the first amongst the active players to make a comment on the situation calling this a bizarre event of 'reverse spot-fixing' where the players approached the bookie and convinced them for the deal.
Officials at BCCI and IPL are meanwhile baffled at the course of action they are supposed to take against the bowler, given that he spot-fixed for better performance and not otherwise. "There cannot be a punishment for a player when he promises someone a better performance in return for monetary benefits. It's like young Sachin Tendulkar telling his father, I will do better in today's game if you will give me Rs. 500/-."
The bookie, also has more balls in his court than one. Buying into Dinda's story, the bookie lost a lot of money and has now piled up a huge debt for wrongly placing bets assuming the bowler will fulfill his promise.
Ashok Dinda, meanwhile remained unavailable for comment with just a solitary tweet stating "It couldn't get worse." Unaware fans assumed this as a reference to his spells in his last match against KKR by putting in a word or two of solace.
Delhi Police Comissioner, Neeraj Kumar, meanwhile said in a press conference that this could be a part of a much larger conspiracy and that many small names may emerge, prompting the reporters present to probe if this was an indication towards Ashish Nehra and R.P. Singh also being a part of the racket.
Betting fans have taken it to social media and the entire betting fraternity is receiving a lot of flak over the event. Experts say it will take some time before BAI is able to polish its tarnished image and regain the trust of enthusiasts once again.

Muslim Youth Woes.

Using "Mah, f9, kkkk, wat, ur, lolzz, kewl" etc. in a civil society.

Do you think TypIn LyK Dis Is.. Omggg.. da coolest thing eVa? Read on. If you use it for communicating online, texting friends, posting in forums, does it make you believe it will create an impression of you that you have a heightened understanding of advanced written communication? That you are really cool, creative and intelligent? Apparently not.
In a much global perspective, it is an indication of a crippled intellect. You could be turned down in an interview if it's manifested that you secretly follow this deviant religion. People will be judgmental in your case much earlier than they should.

I am yet to ascertain as to where contracting words and replicating their spellings with their apparent pronunciation has exactly taken birth. It could probably be my own mobile phone. But the point is, it has spread tremendously.
It might make sense if you make 'you' to 'u' while sending a text message, because of the character limit, but why would you do that online, on forums, emails, or say status updates? Their character capacity easily runs in hundreds or thousands.
Now, a little demographic exposure on the matter. Most of the people who adopt this way are teenagers or people with little or no formal education who have under mysterious circumstances gained access to the internet, and also believe in vehement socializing.

"I livv lyf on mah own terms" automatically conjures up an image of a guy wearing a blazing blue denim jacket, with tight-skinned black glares, wet hair, hands in pocket, standing in a wheatfield of Haryana, looking to make friends. Without any offense to the people of Haryana, of course. And obviously, we Indians haven't given birth to this sickness, but we sure as hell have been great contributors, including our friend above we just mentioned and it has picked force more in the social networking revolution.
Prior to Facebook, there was Orkut that was the ultimate social networking site in the Indian subcontinent, preceded by Yahoo chatrooms, where friendship was all about nudity and longlasting relationships about unfailingly coming online at appointed times.

However, as you go back, you can easily recall this menace wasn't as widespread then, or in fact, existent at all, at that time. One did write in broken sentences, but there wasn't any flagrant violation of acceptable writing patterns.
So, now came the next era, of Orkut and maybe other online forums, where one had a static identity and presence was more regular and punctual.

So, since otherwise impossible,it made a coming together of the world, and people from other countries, especially the Western world, it was a healthy thought that whatever they do, or however they conduct themselves is the actual way of presenting yourself on the net. And after having picked that habit up, everyone had the urge to make the maximum impact and be the most outstanding personality, that led to constant breakthroughs in the generally adopted methods of writing/typing. There were colors, then there were font sizes, gliterring texts, fairy banners, and the unforgettable AlTeRNaTe CaSeS.

Also, not in my mind before I started the article is the usage of Hinglish, an example could be "U ko mujhse kya kaam hoing :P." Ok, though I do not know what to discuss about it.

Anyway, so, the psyche behind it after all, is to be noticed, to portray one's self as creative. But that, unfortunately is not the case. To believe so, is to live in a bubble, and have deluded opinions of creativity. Typing "fine" as "f9" is not at all creative. Coming back to being noticed, if that's what you still do really want, focus on your content, make sense with what you write, and you will definitely be noticed. Also, since there are sO mAnY oF the KinD oUt AbOut oN tHe WeB, typing in proper punctuation, and correct cases will surely make you stand out. Also, if that wasn't enough, this writing style is a sure-shot tool to create a bad impression in front of reasonable people and you can be easily dismissed, neglected or considered juvenile and incompetent to discuss any subject matter.

I'm not saying, completely abhor the internet memes, no, that would be trying to disown yourself from the present times. You can use lol, lmao, omg, stuff like that, I do too,(obviously not in formal communication though) but the reason is, because they are what they are, they do mean something, and haven't had any genuine predecessors, unlike the real English words that are used and twisted.

Conclusively, consider this an honest and solemn appeal that if your English isn't great and you wish to improve it, and this is one of your habits, think of it as the cancer stick of effective written communication and crush it under your feet (or fingers?) instantly. Let there be fuller words, proper punctuations, and correct grammar. I know it's going to be tough in the beginning, but yeah, I see hope! The world is built on it. LulzMwah!

Then came intuition.

He had traveled with the Hillbillies. Everyone thought he’s wasting his life suspecting everything.
He saw the Pyramids and linked it to similar structures anywhere across the world. He thought everything is linked. Or everything *evil* is linked. He believed if something evil is happening in one part of the world, no matter of what magnitude, it is directly or indirectly linked with some evil happening in the other part of the world, again irrespective of the magnitude. He would say that evil never disputes within itself, so there is no reason why evil could have different sources.
“If you reverse the chain of every evil, you will find yourself go back to one common source.”
By this statement he would have everyone intrigued, or at least paying attention to him, which is unlikely otherwise. He had watched enough films and seen enough pictures, read enough books to hold a public talk on 911 being an inside job. He knew George Ogre Bush’s bloodline like his own, or better.
He invited people to believe in religion, any religion and that was enough to defeat Satan or at least weaken him and his vicegerents on Earth vis-à-vis the American Government.
Whitney would call him a stupid fuck and he would call her an ignorant bitch, although only loud enough that she won’t know. He suspected anything that came from the government, especially the authentic sources. He was a member of groups like “Killuminati” and “Masons’ structure of Satanism unveiled.” His interest and support was largely applauded in such groups but whenever he tried making his own group, he would hardly find anyone with him. He had this self-conscious want of domination. He wanted to be known. And whenever he would call off the groups he made, he would modestly ascribe it to his realization that he would be getting undue attention, something he isn’t really keen on. He had set his preferences as that of a person who is sincere, not working for fame, and genuinely seeking people more genuine than him to work for the cause. Whenever anyone asked him about what he’s been doing lately, he would pause a while, grin and respond with an all-knowing tone of “Oh, it’s a long story” and then look away the eye of a person as though he isn’t really interested to laud his own genius pursuits, unless sought for.
He was fully aware of the fact that the only way to be recognized is do what no one does. And he had got it right. If he would’ve been a writer, there are many writers out there, and it would take a monkey out of his own butt to be the best in them. He could have been a solicitor, a scientist, a.. a.. anything that deserves respect and attention. Attention and respect.. in order of importance. He knew the easiest way out. And so he decided to become a conspiracy theorist. He had some recognition in the people around him now. He wouldn’t go unnoticed. And it made him feel good. Sometimes in loneliness he would think to himself how much the religion of conspiracy theory has given to him and how less he has given in return.
Thinking of those that turned him down, he introspected prophetically and held a monologue of how nothing can deter him from what he has taken charge of. He felt proud of himself like never before.
He could actually find others ignorant as against himself, upon whom the divine light of truth has been showered.
He didn’t have much to do, but copy state other researches and findings. He never called them his own and neither did he mention they are not his. He presented them like obvious facts, they should have known of, as he has known, albeit with his own observation.
