I'm perturbed about what I've seen and heard from the media and hope like mad that they're indeed just speculations by overzealous journalists to heat up the 'TRPs'. And may those snippets be the farthest from the truth.
(a) Cocking a snook.
Shah Rukh Khan, as we're aware, has been banned from entering the Wankhede stadium at Bombay
for his obnoxious behaviour directed at a poor security guy at the gate, during one of the matches of the
last year's IPL jamboree. He didn't even have the courtesy to apologise to the beleaguered guard for his
boorishness, saying that his daughter was manhandled by him while the media's eyes, covering the event,
said a different story.
The problem is that many of our celebrities expect to be treated like the royalty of old. They enjoy
and expect pampering as their birthright, forgetting the simple fact that their exalted status is courtesy
the common man who sees their movies.
His team, 'the Kolkata Knight Riders', is playing a match at the venue in one of the coming days. And
he's been quoted as saying, "I don't want to sound politically incorrect but what will they do if I enter?
Shoot me?" .....Impetuous and arrogant! I only hope that good sense prevails upon him and he stays out
of that place. Celebrities must understand that their fans would be thoroughly let down if they did not
maintain decorum commensurate with their iconic status. Apologists might laugh it off by saying that it's
his style!?
I'm a fan of his and he'd definitely let me down if he chose to make an entry, defying the ban!
(b) The Chinese checkers.
There are reports, despite government denials, that concessions have been offered to China to end
the recent face-off in east Ladakh. Indian forces seem to have agreed to the removal of bunkers built
by them in the Chumar region, close to the LAC(Line of Actual Control). These permanent structures
facilitate the Indian Army to keep an eye on the Karakoram highway.
Sincerely hope that the story is baseless and one's only too happy to note that we can make the
Chinese wary by our proactive measures on the border, which is the genuine right of a self respecting
nation.
Tailpiece.
As I'd said at the start, let the stories above be mere conjectures and should be treated with the contempt that they deserve!
