what forced me into this....

for some one who ridiculed every other blogger i knew saying that they were so bloody jobless to blog, i shocked everyone including myself when i decided to this. guess frustration, irritation, emptiness could lead you into doing things which you would have least expected yourself to do. now what was i irritated or frustrated about?? well thats a easy call considering the day this has been posted. yup the "brilliant" INDIAN cricket team and the indian sports in general. yes u have stumbled upon an another angry blog targeted at indian sport. having no one else to complain to this is the best platform to vent out my feelings. my present state of mind is that of a person being ditched by his/her beloved. why does this happen to indian sports alone, people are never united, trying to pull others down, people dont perform to their potentail... what better example than the famous lee-hesh spilt or the sourav-chappel spat? just when things look good we have some one ruining it. sucks man,hurts a lot.

how do i describe the feeling when lee-hesh lost a semifinal at Chennai, against some X and Y being a set and a break up? how do i describe the feeling when both conveniently pulled out of this years Chennai open and playing at some unknown tournaments? come on man, this is THE EVENT that launched u guys. dont you owe at least this much to the tournament and the public? i just cant stop myself from wishing you bad luck in all the matches you play.

well back to cricket,how would i describe the feeling when we lost to bangladesh? taking nothing away from the young bangladesh side who really played like a team possessed, india played poorly as if they never really willed to win. a lot of debate had been done about selection processes and the chairman of selectors had not better job but to divulge the captain and coaches preference for carrying an extra baggage, was he washing his hands of the responsibility or was it an indication of sehwag not going to perform? I wished and prayed that it was the former but its proving to be the latter. well if he just wants to have strolls, there are plenty of parks back home where he can have those walking practices. what irks me is he doesnt regret getting out and seems to be more than pleased to get back. well its unfair to criticize a single fellow for the debacle but that just came out of sheer frustration.

dont these of set of over rated people with larger than life image, have a sense of responsibility towards the public? are we fools to be following them right through be it night or day or be it ignoring work, knowing more about them than they do? dont we deserve more? to be frank i have never reacted this extremely to the wins and losses but yesterdays defeat was just too much for me to take. well i wish i had never seen or followed sport and these superstars never really meant anything to me, but that being out of the equation "oh ha india aaya india " :p
