Lies, Lies and More Lies.....it looks life is full of lies

For the last two weeks I have been exposed to lies, lies and more lies.  First it was Shohaib Malik and Sania affair.  So many lies were spread by as many people, including Ayesha (Maha) Siddiqui and her father, Shohabi and others in the "family", and many appearing on the "news" channels.  Then came the Dantawade massacre...even here lies were passed on as "investigatives" journalism....people were made to debate whether there were 1000 Maoists or 200 Maoists that killed 64 sleeping  CPRF jawans!  Didi comes in between to declare that Moists are not terrorists.  Before Dandawade died down came up the Shashi Taroor vs. IP Lalit Modi "debate".  How does it matter to me if IPL is played in Kochi or Ahmedabad?  The story (lie) has all the masala for a good Ramgopal Verma film.  See the start cast: Sharad Pawar, Narendar Modi, Shashi Taroor (and of course Sunanda Pushkar), Harshad Mehta (this is another one, not the share broker who had died long ago !!!),  Gaikwad (MD/Spokesperson made villain to please someone !!! his qualification to become the MD was that he was the RTO officer in BEED !.), Vasundara Raje....and the list is long to reproduce here. I wonder, why the name of Srishanth has not come out yet; there may be a proxy for him.  Anyway he has to leave the Punjab IPL team, now or a little later.  We are told of  Rs. 50 Crores bribe, of Rs.75 Crores "Sweat" equity, 25 % unknown shareholders, some sleeze, some immorality, probity in public life, tweeter's new uses etc.  News is also out that brothers-in-law, step sons-in-law and others remotely related to LM have benefited from his being the President of IPL in the earlier biddings.  Am I coming across such "white" lies for the first time now ?  No....life has been full of lies and white lies.

The latest white lie that I heard was that my not paying Rs.12000 and odd for my father's ceremony had put my eldest brother in deep trouble as he depends on the interest for his living !!!! What is the money involved ? Rs. 80/= month interest !!!!  But my money, more than 12000 is locked with him !!!
