China - 1, India - 0

The Asian Games concluded a few days ago - there's been an overload of news from Chinatown. After the event. Let me be the first to admit, I like this Chinese system where they don't let any cats out of their iron fisted bags until after it's all over. It took India about 6 years after the initial bidding to even start working on the Games, and barely 6 months after that to convince the whole world into believing that if they came here for the Games, they would be crushed under a bridge while trying to escape a crazy terrorist because you can't run fast enough when you have diarrhoea. The Indian Media... they should learn from China and wait till the end of the event before they start telling people they might have died at the event.

Breaking News China gave the ragtag bunch of starry eyed water polo rookies a chance to make fools of themselves on a grand stage befitting their valiant hearts. As fate would have it, this was the only event I got to watch in the entire Asian Games. Don't ask me why I was watching women's water polo on a Tuesday afternoon, I'm spontaneous like that.
Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure the viewership of the Asian Games was about 20 times higher in India during those 2 hours. Sorry girls, such is life. If life was like Rocky, you would be heroes. But life is usually more like A Perfect Storm, with a bit of Dabangg thrown in.
SideNote: That is the highest complement I have ever accorded our chesty brat, take a bow Mr Khan. And ease up on the pills, or the workout, or the Aishwarya, or whatever they call it these days.

We want to win too! But the main news is that China pretty much paid our brave water polo girls to lose, all to secure 1 more medal. Before you think Hindi-Chini have any sibling camaraderie, it is also said that China denied entry to the Indian equestrian team to ensure they did not challenge Chinese riders taking another gold. I think we should learn from the Chinese and host our own Asian or Commonwealth or Olympic or some other games.
Some of the new sports we should introduce to the world -
Kabaddi, Cricket, Gulli Danda, Hand Cricket, Gully Cricket, Book Cricket, Poshampa and Chidiya Ud.

Where the Media comes in And then we prevent the teams of any country who have a remote chance of beating us at our own game from participating. But it will be tough to do that; any conspiracy or bribes and the astute Indian media will pick up on it in a second and expose our devious scheme to the world. If only the Indian Media would work with the government rather than against it. Perhaps we could convince the countries to not want to participate at all. Ha, we should just scare them away, using ridiculously exaggerated stories about tropical sicknesses, terrorists and urban disasters. Then only the poorest, most hopeless countries who have it worse than us will dare to participate, and we could crush them.
If only we were like China, if only the Media would do that for us...
