Indian Premier League (IPL) Diagnosis – “KHUDI”

Posted by Shams Mukhtar | Comments (39) | 25. January 2010

Why do we need Indian Premier League (IPL) or are we dependent on them?? where is our self respect gone or its just money. IPL was just an auction, and a patriotic is non auction-able. Form your own "League", what's the problem in that??  Just show a little dignity, Read "Bang-e-Dara", Read "Khudi ko karr buland itna". This "KHUDI" is actually the secret of life that writer of "The Secret" book (a best seller of all times) found after a long research and we knew it as a muslim right from the beginning, "Insaan ko wohi kuch milta hai jis ki woh justajoo karta hai". So try for "Khudi", be courageous, just "Allah pe bharosah karro". God bless you, its a difficult time but will not be like that  for ever. Just "Nigah ooper rakho"... every thing will be alright.
