The MCA and crazy cricket lovers will argue any way they want because they want to enjoy watching the match.
It just goes to show the pathetic state of average India human mind, selfishness.. I sincerely hope that the court takes a strict view of the issue
True Usha, and it is not just a few parts, but more than half of the state is reeling under severe drought, there is not a drop of water to drink for animals and humans, Places such as Vidarbha and Marathwada get water once in 8 to 15 days and here they are about to waste almost 7-8 lakh liters of water daily on the upkeep of cricket pitches. Truth is that, several bigwig industrialists such as Ambanis and others who hold large stakes in the IPL matches will stand to lose money if IPL is canceled. And in a country where cheap entertainment such as IPL and Bollywood movies are glorified and celebrities from these two fields are worshipped more than God, who is concerned if the rest of the state is dying of thirst!

It is disgusting that minority bashing on one pretext or other is past time of a section of our society. This trend is even on this site. It is for govt. agencies to look after security concerns of nation. Most people- Hindu or Muslin- are peace loving. I feel that this trend of creating hatred and suspicion against minorities is counter productive and likely to harm national unity. This is what anti nationalism really mean.

Coming back to the topic, I am told by visitors that Pakistan is a much cleaner country and better organised than India. I have visited Karachi which was more or less like one of our busy cities but Islamabad is supposed to be a cleaner city and people don't use the public places as toilets like they do here in India.
That is surprising indeed! I think in India, apart from some North Eastern states, generally all open, public places are treated as trash bins. It is very surprising that the cleanest village in Asia is Mawlynnong which is in Meghalaya, I have seen a video of it on FB. If they can do it, why can't the others?
I tried to search for the video but can't find it now, but did find the Facebook page, worth checking it out by every one!

Here we are discussing some bad habits of Indians. However, some habits are universal. We need to behave in a manner that will be socially right and pleasing. The most important rule is that we should care more about others than ourselves when in a function. Do to others as you would be done by is the basic norm.

Gulshan Kumar Ajmani replied to the topic BJP and coming elections in states.
Currently, there are elections in five states and BJP is not a big factor anywhere except Assam. So these elections need not be taken as a referendum on Modi or BJP central leadership. Nobody would reasonably even dream of BJP getting power in West Bengal, Kerala, Tamilnadu and Pudducherry. So, the discussion of Modi's performance is not so relevant.

In some part of country if host don't care and ask many time to eat, guest may be annoyed. But with changing time one must be change them self. It is enough to request once to guest for eating food of their choice.
True. " Atithi Devo Bhava" is the belief in Indian families. But as you said, the guest should be allowed to eat whatever he likes. The host should keep all the food items before the guest in order to eat whatever the guest likes.
Here in my area it is not practice to serve food with hand by host to ghost. here when we received invitation time of lunch and dinner is printed on it. When we reached there host welcome us and ask only once for lunch or dinner.
What you said about printed invitations is true for functions like marriages and Birthday celebrations etc. Here too we invite the guests through printed invitations. I'm talking about some private functions we invite the guests orally.
Yes it is right that written invitation is only for marriage and other big function. I don't know about others but it is habit that at private function or when some guest come to me I never press them to eat as per my choice. I always prefer to serve them what they like. We must be remember that stomach is there but pocket is our. First we press them to eat which they don't like and then we also face there sulikness. What is need of it. Request once and then let them free to eat what they want.
I once had a bad experience when I was served chicken , which I dont eat and when I told them I dont eat meat ,I was given a lecture by the lady as to how it is good for health and when my family eats, it is my duty to eat.I told them I cook what my family wants but what I eat is my choice and according to my own wish. I politely asked them to change the plate..Of course now when we meet we laugh about it but it is not a good practice to force things on people, which I have seen happening many times.

Indeed, the matches should not be held this year, its a sheer waste of water which can be useful for other purposes in drought hit areas. There should be full support for non conducting of this season. The Article supplies the necessary information to enlighten people of the state of being of people in Mumbai and the Section 144 in areas of water shows the plight of the condition. I think even the first match should have been suspended and then the case should have been continued.
This type of situation never arose in the past. Many IPL matches were conducted. Now the condition is very different, I too feel in such conditions no match including the opening match should have been allowed. MCA's advocate told the HC that they are purchasing the water to maintain the pitches. He further said that the water used to maintain the pitches is Non-Potable. Still personally I feel Water is water be it potable or Non -Potable
Though I'm an ardent fan of Cricket, I would never agree to such criminal wastage of water. yes, Sky is not going to fall if IPL is stopped for an year.
So no floating on cloud 9 ??
