Some Unusual Prayers

What would certain people ask God in their prayers? I tend to think the following. It may be possible that I am unable to see beyond, with the limited imagination I have at my disposal.
  • Private Water Supply service: More and more shortage of water for people?
  • Private Hospitals and Drug stores: More and more health problems?
  • Lawyers: More and more crimes?
  • Restaurants: More and more lazy people?
  • Computer service: User's poor knowledge about computer's functioning?
  • Astrologers: More difficulties and unhappiness?
  • News Channels: More crappy stuff to happen?
  • Researchers: More non-sense (Eg: nano science) for getting govt. funds?
Will continue if i get more ideas.

Lets pray for good things.

वृक्षराजाय ते नमः |

Summer is really hot nowadays. I was walking in the cool-shades of trees and I just looked up and thought about them for a while. Though the title suggests "People's Tree" which is considered as the king of all trees, this blog refers to any tree in general and any tree is infact a king.
  • They just keep facing the sun all the time and invariably give shelter for any Tom Dick and Harry.
  • They dont make powerpoint presentations and say things like "Look I have got more fruits than anybody else", "I have given shelter to more no. of people", "I take less water to grow than others", "I am the World No. 1" and so on........
  • They dont quarrel for 30x40 or 60x40 sites.
  • They dont have to write exams to survive. They just live.
  • They need not advertise.
  • They dont eat fruits. They give.
  • They look grand without any make-up or hair cut etc..
  • They are really 'happy to help', not like that 'xyz' mobile communication service provider.
  • They dont stink.
  • A mango tree does not try to capture the market of a banana tree.
  • They are just themselves. Always.
  • . .
  • . . . . . . .
Well, The list never ends.

Why PCB doesn't understand simple things?

Pakistan Cricket Board seems to be making a huge fuss about ICC snatching its hosts' status. And now, its blaming India's hand in this. Common guys. There is a limit. Some bombing occurs in Pakistan and their ministers blame India's for it. Some bombing occurs in India and the pakistan ministers still say its Indians who are doing this. They also claim to have proofs that 'Ajmal Qasab' is an Indian. I wonder whether they have also blamed India for Pakistan's illiteracy, Population problems and so on.

It clearly makes no sense at all. A cricinfo report gives press statements made by Ehsaan Mani. He says "This was a time when India should have come forward, shown leadership and said 'It's all four of us as hosts, or none of us." He should understand that just by fixing the venue will not earn PCB any money. Other teams should come and a match should actually take place for anything to happen.
