Substance over Style!

The man who once famously is said to have said, that ‘Indian actresses are like chicken. They can be laid anytime’ is at it once more. Imran Khan, former Pakistan fast bowler and politician says that, the cricket match fixing nexus operates out of Mumbai possibly implying how innocent cricketers from Pakistan are lured into a den of vice and dishonesty. The spot betting saga, which has landed Pakistan’s cricket into a sinking vortex, is the point of discussion.Imran goes on to say, that the malice exists across the cricketing world, further confusing the issue.
Mohammed Aamer, the sixteen year prodigy from across the border is cited to have strayed from the straight and narrow, due to his inexperience, lack of education and direction from more senior colleagues in the Pakistan cricket team. While tragic, this is an argument law enforcers are not going to buy.
Evidently there is a deep rot in the Pakistani system, which needs to be addressed by them and the cancer cannot be wished away by attributing their ills on an India, that till not long ago was considered to be staid and boring. If the Khan would have his way, he would attribute the floods and the ‘Talibanization’ of Pakistan to Indian complicity.
Attributing your ills on an external source is a wonderful short term trick, to keep you going, but in the long run leads one up the garden path. You want to hit solid gold, not be a flash in the pan. Substance always scores over style, is my call! As for the Khan, maybe he could take an inward peek….
