Money or Love?

Or both?

Just randomly thought of this one...

Lets face it

Facing the truth can be unpleasant and embarrassing.

Especially when you've got to face it in a televised reality show while your family sits right in front of you...watching, waiting, dreading the skeletons that may come out from your closet!

Cartoons inspired by Sach ka Samna...





Speaking of truth, here's an older doodle art cartoon about digging the truth...

Sue Mayawati

for spending thousands of crores of public (hard-earned by taxpayers) money on statues!

I dedicate the following cartoons to Mayawati...

As shoe throwing becomes more popular...

Shoe throwing seems to become more popular by the day. Another shoe was thrown today, this time at Congress MP Naveen Jindal.

Wonder what the shoes feel about being indiscriminately hurled like this?

And then there is the aspect about the shoe-throwers being rewarded...

Looks like a new form of protest has emerged, one that cannot easily be shoe-d away!

Inflation!

New age begging!

I think we might reach this stage...

Who wants to be a Millionaire?

'Money can't buy you happiness!'

I was inspired to ponder over this age old adage once again today, as I read Bilbo's post about the ten million millionaires in the world.

That is not to say, of course, that one can be happy without money. You just need enough money to take care of the basics and a little bit left over to be able to indulge in some of the simple (nevertheless pure!) pleasures of life.

And if you can have just that, then who wants (or needs!) to be a millionaire?

I for one, certainly don't!

Cricket as Business!

For the first time, cricket successfully turned into a business model with the Indian Premier League!

Cricket in itself is the biggest unifying force of the nation, to the extent that it is often referred to as India's biggest religion!

So here you have cricket as the central ingredient, clubbed with several bollywood biggies and top notch industrialists, who not only bring in the money but also add a whole lot of glamor value!

To add to this, you have various teams constituted from a combination of fresh talent (as was the case with the Rajasthan team!) as well as acclaimed players of the cricketing world not only from India but also from other countries!

What's more, you follow the short and sweet maximum-interest-retaining 20-20 format (which has significantly gained in popularity over the traditional ODI and test match formats!) and you also ensure involvement from a city-based competition perspective as each team is aligned to a different city!

Garnish this with some strong branding, media publicity and entertainment factors such as the cheerleaders (not to mention the resultant controversy that evolved around them!) and what do you have?

A winning recipe, distinct from all others by its very design!
