Shame on Me .....and You !

Shame on you Sachin. Shame on you Yuvraj. Shame on you Sehwag.

Shame on you, you can't win matches. Look at the Australians.
Shame on you , you cant even abuse your opponents on the field. Look at the Australians.
Shame on you, you play for a country that forgets all you do today. Look at the Australians.
Shame on you. Not sachin, not Yuvraj, not Sehwag.
Shame on you guys who call yourselves Indian cricket fans.

Shame on you, you who make god out of a man today and turn him villain two days later.
Shame on you, for both those actions.
Shame on you, for being the best character assassins in the world.
Shame on you, for not knowing to respect talented people in your country.
Shame on you, for wanting to be someone but you.

I am an Indian and quite proud to be one. Thats why it hurts me when my countrymen show off thier foolishness. When things dont go according to the fairy tale, we go clueless. And thats when we show others how foolish we can get. Cricket is just one such example.

I was rooting for team India this worldcup and was dissapointed like million others when they put up a show that would put themselves to shame. In fact what dissapointed more was the show we millions put up after that.

Parading cut-outs of your yesterday's hero on a donkey and forming a funeral line for someone who's still in the best part of his life is not something someone would excpect from a civilization that claims to be one of the oldest in the world. What civilization are we talking about when we dont know what it means ?

I was just wondering what would happen if I was asked to govern the operations of NASA. What came to my mind was the state of BCCI and Indian cricket. Oh yea Niranjan Shah knows how a cricket field looks like. So can I tell you what a rocket looks like. I dont want to say that Pawar and Co are doing a bad job just beacause India crashed out of the world cup. What I dont understand is the double standards they often adopt.

When Greg Chappel goes to the press and goes on air repeatedly about what he thinks about the attitude of people who are atleast a million times talented and dedicated than him,the board puts its finger across its lips. He's an Australian and knows what he's saying.When Chappel says India's best captain ever has some problems mentally and needs to sort them out. The board sends an email asking him to refrain from such comments (that too after much criticism). When he openly claims that he was not given a team of his choice, the board stays quiet. Noone reads out that particular section in Article 38 loud then.Why do they have to come up so strongly when Tendulkar tries to clarify that he is still the same person he was for the last 15 years. Why do we forget that he was the only performing player in Team India for the last 15 years. Does two innings change everything that Tendulkar was?

Grow up guys...we need changes for sure but smart ones. Stop blaming people because they couldnot enact what you read in DC comics.


Shame on you Sachin. Shame on you Yuvraj. Shame on you Sehwag.
For what I'd want to know.
