Shaharuk's Behaviour!


It's unfortunate that Shaharukh Khan, a renowned film personality,owner of Kolkata Knight Riders and above all the Brand Ambassador of West Bengal was locked in spat with security forces at Wankhede Stadium Mumbai that culminated in physical brushes at midnight.Shaharukh has been banned to enter Wankhede stadium for as many as five years even as a spectator.True, King Khan should not have behaved this way as reported probably under the influence of liquor and could have regretted the incident instead of sticking to his stand that he'd done no wrong in behaving in such an unseemly way.Perhaps matter could have ended there and Shaharukh would not have to face such a stringent punishment that tells upon his reputation.Shaharukh's fans might find no fault with him and would rather argue he was sufficiently provoked to vent his rage but a dispassionate view claims Shaharukh should have behaved more responsibly. However, now Shaharukh episode has relegated to back seat following incidents like sexual assault on an American lady and drug scandal those have recently hit IPL.No body knows how many ugly incidents are in the pipeline to add to already tarnished image of IPL..Unfortunately, IPL is increasingly adapting vices of Under World.Perhaps, unrestricted flow of money is the root cause.Any way, it's high time King Khan could shun his ego and be 'sorry' for what he has done.Hope, his case would be reconsidered by the appropriate authority.

SEZ facilities to Infosys!


Mamata Banerjee's dislike for Special Economic Zone (SEZ) facilities awarded to the industrialists as expressed in her election manifesto has put her on the spot.In the event she denies SEZ opportunities to Infosys it will leave the state Again, if she award such facilities to the IT giant she'd fall back on her pre-election commitment against SEZ.So she's on the horns of the dilemma.Tata has already left our state with its Nano project that was nearly complete at Singur primarily for her sustained agitation.It's sent a bad signal to the prospective investors in Bengal. Again if Infosys too quit our state for not being awarded SEZ facilities .it'll prove disastrous for the prospect of IT and ITes industries that can provide employment opportunities to thousands of people.To get rid of this catch 22 situation, what she's contemplated to do is nothing short of unmitigated hypocrisy.She asks Center to provide SEZ like facilities to the IT company or create an IT hub that would enjoy all the amenities that SEZ does.She's also proposed to have SEZ facilities extended to IT giant based on the request of the earlier govt and she'll not object to it.Any way, she'll not apply for SEZ facilities her self.In fact, in the greater interest of our state she can straight way apply for SEZ facilities to center for Infosys and no body will criticise her for going back on her per-election commitment.In fact, pre-election promise can't be always adhered to considering ground realities.
