Which is not adulterated?
In this kaliyuga, which is not adulterated -- the food
one eats, the air one breathes,
the petrol one fills in, etc.
The worse of it is inthe form of
even human relationships.
Everything seems to be interdependent: one does
something in return for something. though it is
not explicitly stated. Even this could be understood.
What cannot be is the improper ways in which these
things are done --- dishonesty, bias, cheating, and
suppression and oppression resulting from
caste/communal/racist feelings and attitudes
and jealousy.
The list goes on depending on the social and
political situation.
So, what does one expect at the end of the day!
If one gives a thought to these and acts appropriately,
responsibly and without all the negative emotions
that not only spoils one's personality and standing
but also ruins many bright lives in society, one will have sealed
a key place in society. One whose life inspires others.

Which is not fixed?
After watching the T20 final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka on June 21, 2009, one would think
what went wrong with the Sri Lankan team that didn't pack a punch in the final. The Sri Lankan cricket tigers are not the ones to submit meekly. But their lacklustre performance in the match, except that of captain Sangakkara, did raise many questions in the minds of fans and watchers.
One was even led to think whether the match was fixed. What are the factors that lie beneath the unexplainable performances of teams, only a few might know. An Australia- England or South Africa final would not have looked like this, one is sure.
While we all know cricket is not beyond match-fixing, what else is not?
One wonders whether everything except birth and death -- may be you can throw in marriage inbetween! -- is fixed!
