I consider myself to be a typical Indian-not because of the fact that I am black, lean, girlfriend bereft or because of the fact that my country's education system kicks me on my ass every other day; this consideration also did not come into picture because half my life i lived like a rustic in front of those so called "siphesticated people" who pronounce TUCSON as too-son and not tucson like me-but because i love both cricket and Bollywood-two great subcontinent passions. but this was until, the spot fixing scam broke out.
This is not because I hate betting for any high-principled reason. I just tend to hate gambling because while I have no objection to winning money, I cant bear to loose even a penny (no i'm no baniya, but that is my characteristic trait you can say). and I am damn sure that I would loose only as I have full faith on my luck, am not fortunate enough to have lady luck and "Godess Lakshmi" have long ago stopped following me on twitter and unfriended me on Facebook. that is the reason why I have realised for me the safest mean to double money is to out it in bank and 7% intrest on it.
But I have this late callous realization that I am no longer a typical Indian because of my aversion to gambling not for any holier reason but for the fear of loosing my 38 cm Peter England shirt. Gambling seems to be genetic for my fellow Indians who would obviously do it on Diwali for auspicious reasons, because if it weren't, Mahabharat wouldn't have been a best seller but an ordinary book labelled "a story of a lady with five idiot husbands".
what I have realized that what these highly educated economists of our country say that by legalising betting the government would earn enough tax revenue to send every single child to school. but what they dont realise that what will happen when these freely educated blokes would come out in searxh of jobs (which is a bigger scarcity than a blue diamond) and would ebd up opening legalised betting centres which would be a lucrative business option and help pocketing those babus enough revenues to send the next generation of kids to school and so on and on till one day we'll all become a nation of school pass and school dropouts ot school kicked out bookies.
seems funny
