The ad shows Dhoni as a ticket checker .. and can you bilieve it he was a ticket checker associated with Indian Railways and Posted at Kharagpur at the time he was called to play cricket for India... <BR/><BR/>Also .. If you talk about luck then let me tell you my frnd.. He is one of the most unluckiest cricketers. .. He should have been in Indian team 6 yrs before... <BR/>Ajay Ratra was picked over him for the under 19 world cup which India won. By far dhoni's performance was better than Ratra's even then.. <BR/>The thing that he comes from a petty state like Jharkhand which doesn't even cross plate division didn't help him either .. He got many offers from other states but he didn't leave Jharkhand. I respect him for that... And now that he has achieved the fame and is reaping money then it is only his hard work that has lead him to it. As you sow so shall you reap .. and "good luck" plays a very little part in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1149624774081686572006-06-07T01:42:00.000+05:302006-06-07T01:42:00.000+05:30Nice.

But, perjaps there's a bit of economics in this, too. <BR/>The amount of money that celebrities recieve for endorsements and stuff generally exceed their professional fees. Then, there's also the cases of underworld threats, which now seem to have become norms rather than exceptions.Chaila Biharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232955227547357685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1149301935185736362006-06-03T08:02:00.000+05:302006-06-03T08:02:00.000+05:30Have you noticed how many ads in India are built a...Have you noticed how many ads in India are built around the idea of ambition? In other places, people desire things; we are taught to reach for the stars. In Bihar, an ad for a Hindi newspaper makes no reference to news--only to Manoj Bajpai's ambition to make something of himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1149285937564824652006-06-03T03:35:00.000+05:302006-06-03T03:35:00.000+05:30It's about time he concentrated on his batting tec...It's about time he concentrated on his batting techniques..:)Anti-establishment Inchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959762837486531467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1149268597935251592006-06-02T22:46:00.000+05:302006-06-02T22:46:00.000+05:30Now now bihari, I'm not saying there's anything wr...Now now bihari, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with people being greedy or wanting to earn more money. I just find it a bit amusing the depths to which even well-off people, infact considerably wealthy people, fall just to have some more of the dough.<BR/><BR/>Someone of Shahrukh Khan's stature dancing at weddings for money. Come on, thats ridiculous!<BR/><BR/>But I agree with the arabian chap. Its basically a fear of burnout. I'm here but I could be gone tomorrow, so lets milk the cow as much as I can, as fast as I can. Hence, Shahrukh Khan does his ridiculous movies, Dhoni is doing a splurge of modeling and Himesh Reshammiya is singing every song he can [or cannot].<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, speaking of greed being good, I wonder if anyone has read this book called "Eat The Rich" by PJ O'Rourke. Its one of the funniest books I've read - a kind of blend of economics dosed with humour. Try it Jai, it opened my eyes to the fun side of economics and the goodness of greed.Confused n Baffledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054418501312922161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1149253642136220792006-06-02T18:37:00.000+05:302006-06-02T18:37:00.000+05:30With the rate of burnout these guys manage to pull...With the rate of burnout these guys manage to pull off, they're just looking for a quick and easy buck so Papa back home can buy a bigger tractor and they can get laid with women who normally wouldn't even look once..Colin Fernandeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637469300406448839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1149249546749267802006-06-02T17:29:00.000+05:302006-06-02T17:29:00.000+05:30The ad was indeed stupid, C&B what's the harm in t...The ad was indeed stupid, C&B what's the harm in the rich people looking for more money?

He is a fantastic cricketer, but like all the rest of them, is being lured completely into the modeling world.<BR/><BR/>I sometimes wonder how blind these celebrities can be. Rich and influential, yet they seem to have no qualms about posing with just about anything for money. Shahrukh Khan runs around the world dancing in private parties for cash, actors actually promote Pan Parag and things. Most hilarious though - there are television actors who do those teleshopping ads, in which they advertise fitness belts, slimming underwear and ayurvedic band-aid and what not!<BR/><BR/>And we thought only poor people did desperate and demeaning things for money. Look at the rich!Confused n Baffledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054418501312922161noreply@blogger.com
