'15 seconds of fame' ???

Every person wants his shot at fame. No matter how frivolous a situation, one can always find a means to ensure an allegation can be made. In this case, a lawyer has filed a case against our winning T20 team for disrespecting the national flag.
The lawyer, Arvind Sharda, filed the complaint before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Varinder Aggarwal under the Flag Act 1871 for violating the flag code of India.
The magistrate has fixed October 23 as the date for recording evidence by the complainant in support of his complaint.
Jeez mate! We're celebrating a win! We won the cup! We're proud of being Indian! We drape the flag around ourselves! We spray champagne on each other!
There's a thin line between joyous patriotism and fanatic patriotism.
And though I would love to go on and on about this, there is only so much I can write for now. When I get back, this will be delved into much much more. Damn! I WANT TO DELVE INTO IT SO MUCH MORE!
