As anticipated, the political masters of Pakistan have finally directed its national cricket team to lift the boycott and play India on 15 February, 2026, as scheduled in Colombo . The Masters must've thought the money at stake is too lucrative to continue indulging in such kind of grumpy politics. Of course, they had imposed some pre-conditions that included making the 'handshake' a mandatory protocol, but the ICC looked the other way. So, the PCB takes it as protecting the 'spirit of cricket'. The Indian cricket board , the sponsors, the TV channels and millions of fans who do not necessarily mix patriotism with sports, if it's cricket in particular, must be deliriously ecstatic that all the revenues and hype and excitement shall be there for harvest thr oughout the ICC Men's T20 World Cup-2026 , co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka .

It's all maya, you know! Maya meaning 'illusion'. Since ancient times Indian sages have been telling us that the visual materialistic world is all maya, reality lies beyond that.

She decided to wear a garland worth 50 million rupees and made entirely of hard currency notes of 1000 denomination. By this unique unprecedented lunatic act Mayawati intended telling you the simple truth 'Forget about money! What hard cash can give you after all! Live in reality and continue to do so! Like this garland shows, it's all meaningless! Have a peaceful and meaningful life, trust me!'
But the moot point in Mayawati's maya is what happens to the currency notes finally. Maya would definitely not discard them due to maya. She would definitely like to convert them into reality--sweet hardy cashy reality. For reality's sake, the income tax department is already inquiring about the source of this money.
What? Going over your head? You see this is Camus-Koestler-Naipaul kind of stuff. Not for commoners like you and me. We can only say if Mayawati is supposed to represent the backward poor classes then why not just distribute the hard cash to them?
Have more and more garlands, wear it in all splendor and then throw them away to the poor. Reality bytes!
