Re: India got thrashed - so why am I happy ?
ahh! thats the naked truth about sub-continent. Govt and media showing 'sub achaa' to the public and the hunger and poverty can be seen every time you walk out of your cozy TV lounge. I have the same sentiments on India and Pakistan's current economic show off. Its more prominent on Indian side, since India has emerged as one of the biggest economies of the world and its investors are making big bids around the globe on big industries etc etc. But the load of 1B+ population is just unbearable. Certain sectors are progressing and creating a mass middle class, but 70% is still struggling for two meals a day.
Back to cricket and its coverage. All you said is true and I myself get pissed off at the craziness of the media, everytime I watch AajTak, HT, NDTV or Zee News. Its like except cricket people don't have any interest in anything else, they don't have life beyond cricket and bollywood.
