Cricket, Stripping and a Publicity Interested Litigation (PIL)

-
Judges are complaining about PILs? Yes, our judiciary is overburdened by PIL. Going through some of the PILs, I wondered many times, what is the public interest in this? If I had some academic interest, would have tried to find the percentage of PILs that has got some public interest.
Some people really misinterpret PILs are Publicity Interested Ligation or Politics Influenced Litigation. The recent one being unknown(atleast to me) model promising to strip for the Indian cricket team, if they win world cup. Helloo.. did someone take it seriously. If some news papers have some unfilled columns and if some masala new channels have some free airtime, they can advertise it. Let us analyze the public interest in this.
General public opinion
1 - Who is this girl? Publicity stunt. Not interested.
2 - Good for cricketers. Not interested as I can see it live
3 -Cricketers opinion - We have better options ;)

But, what about the self-proclaimed moral police of our society. Yes definitely they are interested to take a share of the publicity generated by the silly/bold/smart/stupid comment of the girl. And our judiciary has one more PIL and it is regarding whether a 19 year old has freedom to strip or not.
Unfortunately no public/politics is interested when young girls are stripped, raped and murdered. There is no public interest when women in rural areas are stripped in public and beaten to death

"But who has set the alarm clock. I normally keep the alarm in my phone" "Btw, today is Saturday and I couldn't recollect any early work." It was loud enough to interrupt my thoughts too. For a moment I sympathized with my kids who wakes up every day to this alarm. I slowly peeped out of the blanket and was a little frightened to see three pairs of eyes staring at me. "What happened?" I jumped out of the bed. Dad, Mom and Dimple extended their debit cards to me. "What happened? Where are you all going, handing over me all these?" "We are not going anywhere, you are going to the ATM" Dad was once again the strict father after a long time. "Really? It is still dark out there. What is the time? 5:00am? Have you a...

The Kiss of Missing Love and The Love for Missing Kiss

Deepak is spending a lazy Saturday morning, with his late coffee and newspaper. From front page to last including sports is more to do with politics, power, publicity and posters, than the real news. For those who are not interested in this, news paper reading has become a ritual. The shameless sensationalization of  every incidents tragic, comic or trivial has made it a monotonous affair.  He is almost back to sleep. A loud scream put an end to his thoughts and half sleep. It is from his 7 year old daughter Diya. Screams and shouts has become a routine stuff at home.  Result of unsophisticated parenting that both Deepak and his wife Dimple blame each other. "Can you please have a look at what are the kids up to?" shouted Dimple from the kitchen. "Ah not again!" he gulped the words as  aroma of brown bread and sprouts made him more sleepy. .  She must be busy preparing the healthy-organic breakfast. So it is better to just follow. ...
