Quota in Cricket

I didn't write it. Its racist. It clubs everyone together in one group. I think its unfair. But I think its funny, and it does drive home the point that bothers me and many others. So lets roll.

I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly. The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by a OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century.

We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player. Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.

Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.

There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let's recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians (that can really help
the country).

Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country)

An Oil Obsessed Nation

Americans are an oil obsessed nation. Why, this nation consumes 3 times more oil than China (when its population is less than a fourth of China's) it consumes about 12 times more oil per capita than China.

Its time for Americans to realize that their lifestyles can be supported no more. And they better learn to live like others in the world. Use smaller cars. Give up on SUVs. Carpool. Vacations are NOT for driving long distances. Learn to use public transport. And instead of exhorting their government to do something about high oil prices, exhost them to invest in public transport infrastructure. (Well, their government is doing all it can already - they're drawing oil from Iraq, they've good ties with Saudi Arabia, to guarantee steady supply of oil. More than that, they'd have to go into Iran, Venezuela and Nigeria!!).
