of cricket,dadagiri & more....

Alright, the Prince is in!! Kolkata is rejoicing!!! Maharjas' subjects elsewhere are jubilant too!!!! It is claimed to be a victory of sorts for Dada .. But, at what cost??? He "had" to praise the new captain, "had" to give an explanation the Nth number of time(N= a_very_large_number_whose_exact_value_is_immaterial) of his 'non-existent differences' with the coach, "had" to project himself as an all-rounder (whether he is/is not is again immaterial). The point i am trying to make is that i find it hard to believe that he is the person who was known for his attitude, the person who is without an iota of doubt the most-successful captain to lead the indian test team, the person who has more than 15,000 runs under his belt.. I am no fan of Saurav & have never been one. And his giving up of the state-captainship a day before the match perhaps only adds more reasoning to this. All said & done, a player/person of his repute & his stature should not have resorted to such gimmicks to get back into team-india. Well, 'actions do speak louder than words' ... and what wud have been the harm even if they hadnt. I think ganguly has achieved much-much more than anyone can even dream of. However, that the pride and attitude which he once possessed is lost is just a foregone conclusion.... Moral of the story: Do live your life with pride and attitude, but dont' beg to get things that ppl have refused to give you!!
