From a reader:

PANDITHAN TEMPLE in Mattancherry belonging to the Pandit family has been restored to them. It was forcibly and illegally occupied by DV Deo and their goons. Justice has finally been delivered to the poor Pandit family whose ancestral property and belongings had been grabbed andd misused by DV Deo. The Devaswom Board and Ombudsman gave the order to the Deo Company to vacate the premises immediately. The Deos and their goons had illegaly sold properties, misappropriated funds, used the temple earnings for business, renting the temple hall for commercial and self promotion activities. God has punished the infiltrators by throwing them out unceremoniously!!!!!!

Victory to all Maharastrians!

Congress politics rolls on...Lalit Modi gone...

Now the whole kitchen sink is being thrown at Lalit Modi. Looks like Sharad Pawar has provided the sacrificial lamb to Congress party, probably in exchange for protection of his own bank account. While Shashi Tharoor will be happily claiming his innocence and Pushkaring away, Modi will be in a neighborhood prison soon. At this point, this has degenerated into politicians saving their skins. And providing a lesson to people that expose the functioning of the Great Congress party of Mahatma Gandhi in any way. They have the copyright on cheating and anyone that points it out will be figuratively made more naked than Mahatma Gandhi.

The IPL can easily become a casualty, similar to how India is a casualty while politicians shore up their bank accounts while wearing their spotless whites and crooked smiles. I doubt there will be a fourth season.

Nice hidden assets Mr. Tharoor..Bye Bye Lalit Modi...

Knowing how the Indian corruption system works, Lalit Modi will be eased out of his job soon. An MP like Shashi Tharoor cannot pull the strings that caused the initial auction to be cancelled, there are bigger fish in this murky pond. Those folks are not happy that Shashi Tharoor was outed; now the income tax department will find thousands of irregularities in Modi's bank account. I hope Sharad Pawar is still on Modi's side. If he is not, Modi may be out even before the third season of IPL is over. Hopefully is was the NCP leader Sharad Pawar that asked Modi to out the Congress leadership group that was trying to take over an IPL franchise.

That particular Congress leadership group has already made it's move. Modi will now be labeled as a tax cheat and kicked out and will probably end up in jail for a short period. The Delhi franchise that is close to Modi is already in trouble; they have already been hit with crores of tax liabilities and fines. The tax system is India is a complete joke; it will now take around 20 years for these folks to prove their innocence. At which point, they will get their money back, without any interest.

Hopefully this particular shadow group is not bigger than Pawar; at this point, it does look like these are really big politicians dragging Modi to the ground. Sharad Pawar will get his revenge during the next set of Maharashtra elections. The IPL will go on without Lalit Modi, but it will just not be the same sense of adventure and excitement.
