Different Shades of BLUE....


I know the thought of the present Indian cricket team winning the world cup cricket tournament sounds incredible and judging by the recent performances of our Indian cricket team we are slowly striving back to our old reputation “snatching defeat from the hands of victory”. I know it’s a game where we win some and lose some, but the will to go that extra mile for that elusive win and absence of killer instincts (which has eluded our team time and again) has disappointed the Indian fan more then the loses. And taking in to consideration the power struggles that rests within the hierarchy and the internal politics (within the different zones) regarding the team selections, the silverware looks a distinct possibility.

The Indian cricket team needs to desperately sort out their strategies for the World cup cricket tournament - the Indian team is actually good with batsmen like Tendulkar, Dhoni, Ganguly and Dravid, all rounders such as Yuvraj and Pathan and some raw pace bowling in the likes of Sreesanth and Patel and a decent spinner in Anil Kumble.

All successful one day international cricket teams for the cricket World cup ensure that their best batsmen get to play the maximum number of overs- and hence in my opinion we should open with Tendulkar and Ganguly. We are lucky to have many potential match winners in our team. Yuvraj and Sehwag (on his day, he is a delight to watch) are two potential match winners, and both of them not only score a lot of runs but score them at an incredible speed

The ability to play spin bowling is extremely important during the World cup cricket tournament in the West Indies,since the pitches are expected to be slow and aid spin and we all know that we play spin bowling like no other team. So the pre match statictics is realy favouring the indian team to lift the world cup for the second time, but after all said and done, they have to go out their and perfrom to their potential.

I (for a change) will be routing for the Indian team this world cup and the last time right before the world cup, India toured the South African side and performed much to the disappointment to the Indian fans but came back with a bang during the World cup. Will history repeat itself and this time will we go one extra step and win the World cup, only time will tell. Lets hope the men in blue regain their forms and more importantly the killer instinct before the world cup. But till then "Hoohaa India Aaya India" .

The team for the world cup:
Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Utthapa, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Pathan, Harbhajan, Agarkar, Zaheer, Kumble, Sreesanth, Patel and Karthick.

Plz don go.....

Test cricket's legendary bowler, Shane Warne retired from international competition after the Ashes 2006, thus marking the end of the most glamorous and controversial carrers in the sports glorious history. I think Shane Warne is the grestest cricketer ever (from the time i am watching and following cricket) and it was the perfect retirement party for the showman who made is debut against India way back in January 1992. To take 1000+ wickets in both the versions of the game is simply breathtaking and salute to your versatility, skills, hardwork, mental strength and flexibility. This once-in-life time champion will continue to inspire a generation of kids to take up the art of leg spin. Thanks Warne for giving us everything you could ever give and in the process entertaining millions worldwide and i was privileged enough to watch ur flippers, zooters, wrong uns with bated breath. i just wish u were an Indian !!!

Pascal's Wager

It refers to the argument put forward by famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal to help a person arrive at the decision on the existence of GOD You better believe in god, Pascal argued, because if you are right, you stand to gain eternal bliss and if you are wrong it wont make any difference, anyway. But if you don't believe in god and if you turn out to be wrong, you are eternally damned, whereas if you are right, it makes no difference.

What are you going to be ?

The society around us has defined leadership in millions of ways and even when you search for the definition of a leader, google comes up with this - a person who leads or commands a group or an organization and that's were the narrative fails, if you ask me. A true 'leader' is the one who strives to create an environment where people can express themselves fearlessly, a trait which is very rare in a corporate world and usually not associated with being a leader but then that's where the 'difference of opinion' arise.  We have always associated a leader with a larger than life image who is followed by everybody but in reality what we need is a person who can lift everybody around him and make them even more smarter, and bigger. He gets the desired results but at the same time makes his team/people even better than he found them. A leader will always look and protect his tribe. On the other hand, managers get a set of tasks done by their employees on a daily basi...
