தோனியின் தலையும், நாகரீகத்தின் நிலையும்!!!

வெற்றிபெற்ற நாட்டின் வீரர்கள், தோல்வியடைந்த நாட்டின் பெண்களை பாலியல் வன்முறைக்கு உட்படுத்துவது என்பது வரலாற்று பக்கங்களில் காணப்பட்ட ஒன்று. உடமைகளாகப் பார்க்கப்பட்ட பெண்கள், தங்களின் உழைப்பாலும் சில முற்போக்குவாதிகளின் சிந்தனைகளாலும் செயல்களாலும், இன்று பாலியல் சமத்துவத்தை நோக்கி சென்றுகொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்.

ஏதோ ஒரு வங்காள தேசத்தவன், தன் அறிவிழந்து செய்த செயலுக்காக, அந்நாட்டின் பெண்கள் மீது இணைய வழியாக வரம்பு மீறுவது எவ்வளவு பெரிய அநாகரீகமான செயல்? வெற்றி பெற்ற போர்வீரர்கள் அன்று நிகழ்த்திய வெறியாட்டத்துக்கும், இன்று வக்கிர உணர்வுடன் நாம் பரவவிடும் மீமீஸ்களுக்கும் என்ன வித்தியாசம் உள்ளது?

"தோனியின் தலைகொண்டான்" படத்திற்கு தோனியே பதிலளித்துவிட்டார், மைதானத்தில்...

வளர்வோம்! வளர்ப்போம்! மானுடத்தை!!!

A Headless Chicken and its followers!!!

What sort of humans are we? I knew, from the history books, the practice of raping the women of the losing country by the victorious ones after the war. And now, I see such a medieval thought is still in our minds despite the changing attitude of people towards women. They are not materials to be possessed, but a fellow human being to be respected. They are not spoils of war, but part of our life.

It is barbaric to publish cheap memes about the Bangla girls, after the Asia Cup Final, as an act of revenge against an act of a mindless Bangladeshi.

Revenge has been taken, by Dhoni himself, in the field.

Sow Humanism!!!

In the Neverland!

Indian Teams, since ages, have one thing in common - not so threatening bowling attack! It is so much the face of Indian Cricket Team that fans see India like that. India's sheer dominance on the field, without doubt,  is due to their batting fire power.

Are we the best batters? Yes! Only in our turf! And an above average team in the sub-continental pitches! Abroad - well it is a mystery land! Victory, most of the time, remains elusive for the men in blue. We never tried to chase it - means we never thought of implementing the plans that experts are giving to plug the holes in our parachute.

Bumpers are our biggest enemy! I still wonder why India is not proposing an amendment against the cricket rule that allows one bouncer per over!? I think that may save India's batting face overseas.

The World Champion, The Champion of Champions and World's Second Best ODI Team (Had I posted this before the New Zealand tour it would be World's Best ODI Team) are the tags we are carrying now! (Don't know for how long!) Still we lose to a team that's Cricketing rank, relatively, is in abyss. Loss against the Rainbow Nation is excusable (again, the typical Indian mindset). Yet the way we were routed make nothing, but blood in eyes and heart!

Except the Captain and his deputy none of the hunters in blue were comfortable - struggling against swing, bumpers, pace and what not? What India should do to rein supreme in the other shores? is a template recommendation that one can see in media whenever we tour outside! The question is - what we had done to those 'blabbers'? No pitch in India is supporting Pacers. No condition in India is favorable to pacers and short ball handlers except their need in the team!

As the phrase 'Bad carpenter blames his tools', we blame and curse the fielding restrictions for our bowlers' dismal show. Rules are common. Men make it good and bad! It won't be necessary to say what it is to us! A curse deadlier than the one that is upon the Captain of the Flying Dutchman!

India's best area in bowling department - the spin - is equally bad. We have spinners whose balls never spun the web around the opponent in the 'alien land'. Be it the Spin Quads of 80's or the Spin Double of last decade or the Young Brigades of present, a classical spinner performed win remains elusive. And it would remain so until the the step towards rectifying it is made!

This is not a scribbling of an Indian fan who is fed up with India's recent outings against Proteas and Kiwis. It is the snippet of the feeling that remains resounding in the hearts of 'The Billion Plus'!

To conclude - Think and Act!!!

Let Dada Go...

Ganguly is again in the news. This time for getting dropped, sorry for getting promoted as mentor, from Pune team. Remember those days when 'The Dada Army' went mad on BCCI for dropping him from Indian team and Shah Rukh Khan for not picking him in the auction. His initial success in IPL5 is echoed by his fans, "Dada is back'.

Undoubtedly he is inspirational in India's rise as Global Cricketing Powerhouse on the field. Yet he is too old to wear a Knight's Armour or to throw a Warrior's spear, atleast the owners think so. He is motivational but his on-field performance as a player is sadly top ranked from bottom. He should have asked the Q, Would I keep a batsman of this record in T20? Rather making the owners to force their decision on him, he should have bit the adieu. His fans must be happy for their idol for he won't get humiliated in public, news and commentators after this, atlest about his over-ambition to play T20.

Men may come and go but only a few like 'The Prince of Kolkata' live in hearts. Everyone must go one day, for Dada this is the day. There isn’t much left to prove. He had done his best in leading an unsettled side.

Let him inspire many more. Let his records echo the globe. Let Dada go...
