Is money behind indian team's failure?

Everybody including me seems to be talking about money being the major factor behind Indian cricket team’s failure. Cricketers are not only playing cricket for their love of cricket they also earn their bread and butter through cricket. So if u get more money, will you not try and play better to earn more. Any businessman would do that. Right!!

Ok come on to the other side of it. Assume that money is the cause of all these evil happenings. We will go through the cause and effect relation of this whole thing. Cricketers don’t get money simply by playing cricket. So where does cricketer get a lot of money from, it is from these advertisers who sponsor the Indian team, hoping that their product will reach millions of people through these cricketers. How come the sponsors are so sure that they will get return on investment? It’s simple, we fools keep watching match after match even if India lose in the most disheartening way. So the whole thing ends up in people watching the match for the whole day. Srilanka boosted Indian economy by thrashing us out of world cup says a economic times article. It goes on to say how much the productivity will rise due to India’s loss. Some light hearted people get heart attack and even some commit suicide watching these matches, how foolish of them its after all a game. Better stop watching cricket and in a few years the cricket mania will come to an end. It’s not money that is the root cause but we people who should stop watching cricket (at least Indian cricket). Money is just an intermediate form to estimate the real value of invaluable things like human labor, it’s not worth watching Indian cricket. To sum it up all, you know what, world cup 2011 is being hosted by INDIA.

chat with LK - 2

Lk: y did India come out of world cup so early?

Me: to start preparing early for the next world cup

Lk: which one is better politics or cricket?

Me: we hope against hope that both of them would do some good but both of them fail…cricketers fail every 4 years but politicians fail every 5 years, at least on papers, so politicians are better.

Lk: what would lalu say abt shakira stage show?

Me: if she had been in an Indian train she would have shaken hers hips more and they will never lie …

chatting with LK

I logged into yahoo chat as usual in the morning and there was a friend request from someone. The name displayed was “lion king” I couldn’t recognize that name or match it with any of my friends nick name but added it. The lion king, forest, India was given in the profile. I was laughing to myself thinking about this, suddenly a message came from none other than the lion king. The conversation went on like this…

Lion king (LK) : who r u?
Me: m, 22, India
Lk: A, forest, India (A for Animal)
Me: enough of kidding c’mon now who r u?
Lk: lion, king of forest, India
Me: wat u want?
Lk: I want to talk with someone regularly and learn how you people go thru life (social, political, etc)
Me: ohhhhhhhhh kewl
Me ttly
Lk: hey.. hey…………….

I am going to chat with the lion king about everything regularly from now on. It would be mostly about things that interest me especially Indian and tamilnadu politics. Keep watching this space for more conversations.

LIFT .....................

One thing that fascinated me when I was young was the lift. I still remember those five storied textile shops, only place where the elevators were common. We used to visit these shops very rarely, say once or twice in a year. The place will be usually crowded since it would be some festive season and half of Chennai’s population will be in that area frog hopping from shop to shop just to have a look at new designs and to buy nothing. That experience would make a new post by itself, so coming back to topic people would be standing blocking the whole entrance of the lift. No, don’t expect any queues to be formed. It would take anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes for the doors of heaven to open. People would be literally banging on the door till then. My parents would like to continue their shopping and will try to persuade me into going up through the stairs but never I would oblige. They will even go to the extreme of offering me a extra shirt rather than waiting there for the lift but never…….. I would go through stairs.
At last the lift would door open and people already inside the lift will not be able to come out as the way is fully blocked outside but after all pulling and pushing, those luck few try to squeeze into the lift and that experience would be totally different. When I was in the lift for the first time it was like a dream come true for me. I had a slight fear and felt a small thingy rolling just above my stomach. But it was ok …….
In the next few seconds, at least I felt so, the lift conductor pushed you out of the lift and that’s the end. The conductor of the lift would not allow small boys alone since he knows that we will be playing by going again and again in the lift. I still remember me going and pulling my parents to come with me in the lift, just for fun, so that the conductor wouldn’t shout at me.
All these happening are still fresh in my mind even when I read about NASA planning a lift for the international space station. Yes you read it right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NASA is planning a lift like structure from earth to the international space station using Nano-carbon tubes. The idea was proposed as early as 2001 and research to make it possible is being carried out vigorously.
How happy/fun/joy/great it would for me to go on a lift outside the earth. May be there would be some cute/nice/little girl like sunitha (but not sunitha), who will be dreaming of special Indian(ohhh!!no!! not Indian) recipes. Keep watching this space I will surely say how earth, India and everything else looked like from space.
