SAFETY CELEBRATIONS ACROSS ROHAN SITES

TOGETHER... WE CAN

The new Gods of India….

What is it that brings all the celebrities, Industrialists and politicians of the likes of Prime Minister himself, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Sharad Pawar, Prafull Patel, Pakistan Prime Minister with 45 member delegation, Vijay Mallya, Ness Wadia, Amir Khan, Madhur Bhandarkar, Dino Morea, Vivek Oberoi, Sunil Shetty etc. together? What makes hundreds of security and commandos get deputed on a click of fingers? What makes India spend valuable productive time in front of the idiot box and feel passionately?

Is it 26/11? Or is it a Tsunami? Or is it the train accidents? Or collapse of bridges? Or the floods in Mumbai? No… no… not even cause of reversing brain drain, population explosion, corruption, hunger, poverty, literacy, Naxalites, Chinese claiming Arunachal Pradesh, Pakistanis claiming Kashmir…..

The answer is 'none of the above'………..it is cricket!!!

Sad… but true!!!!

Or should we be happy that at least there is something that brings them together!!!
