twenty-20 vs 50-50

Sep, 13 '09 Subject: general, Viewed by: 145

Twenty-20 Vs 50-50

cricket is the most viewed and loved sport in the whole of India.Initially when the 20-20 over match was introduced, I had doubt as to how it would survive when 50-50 was so popular. Now 20-20 is showing its popularity and that to for many reasons, firstly in 20 overs match, you need to make a good score, so without waisting time you get on with playing a game. You take runs or wickets as fast as possible and the excitement is tangible. In a 50-50 match, the player has to be careful as he has to stick for the 50 overs and somewhere the game loses its appeal adding to the fact that 50 over match is taxing for the players as well.

Sachin wants a 50-50 match in a 25-25 over format,but when tewnty20 already exists, why do we need to do something like that? on top of it how much time will we be able to spend here? will it keep the audiance hooked for so long? when the purpose of match can be finished in a 20 over match, in one day, what else does one need.

I like TWENTY-20 beacuse

1. You go out and bat, make runs if you want to win

2.the batting is excellent and the competition given is woth spending your time watching the match

3. It keeps the audience engrossed, thats wht a sport should do, be competitive and entertaining at the same time.

Kaise Kahu: the art of being diplomatic

Aug, 19 '09 Subject: general, Viewed by: 108

Kaise Kahu?

 

Well just as the name suggests ,’how should I say’ brings into view the very important topic of saying the right thing at the right time, to the right person and in the right manner.

 

Let me give an example, I was watching a serial ‘choti bahu’ on Zee tv. It’s a story of two sisters, one very arrogant and adamant and the other very subdued and religious. They are from a very religious family. Our hero naturally falls in love with the kind natured and simple younger sister. Then as any plot would go, there is a misunderstanding and the marriage is set to take place between the elder sister and the hero, who is blissfully unaware and thinks he is marring the right girl. On the eve of the marriage the older girl known as Vishaka runs away and the younger and meek sister, Radhika takes her place. But realizing her folly, Vishaka comes back again to find that her mother and grandmother have sent Radhika in her place. She takes the place of the bride, the hero is naturally saddened. After a few days, she decides to go and follow her dream of becoming an actress and leaves her home leaving behind great chaos and confusion. Her father disowns her.

         Now the mother who feels very guilty in allowing the elder daughter to take the brides place, wants to set right her mistake.

 

The background of the story is important for understanding the conversation that takes place between the husband and wife. She tells her husband about her friend who had two daughters and the elder one got married in a good family but died later on. So the friends get their second daughter married to the same man as he is of good character. He husband gets the hint his wife gives so intelligently. She can’t say it outright as the man is a heart patient and naturally she doesn’t want to loose him.

 Here the TV serial example given tells us that we to should be able to express our views, however serious they may be, but without hurting any other person. Isn’t that an admirable quality?(no doubt the serial is seriously lacking common sense, but serves my purpose) 

We all need to address certain issues in our life. But to express them in the right way is extremely important or else unwittingly other non-important issues place themselves in our path and the main and important one is side-tracked. Glancing at the situation and a proper presentation of ones idea on it is an art one must learn. Some would call it diplomacy and it is required in our lives. We should make an effort to inculcate it in our behavior

 

But how does one just start being diplomatic?

 

The science of handwriting analysis gives you a chance to do so by changing your handwriting. By practicing a certain change in the m’s you can easily receive the gift of diplomacy. We will be able to express our views and points and in the same time not get logger heads with anyone.

 

Inculcate the most needed quality of diplomacy in yourselves Today by the means of Grapho therapy.

BCCI is free to take its own decisions

Aug, 14 '09 Subject: general, Viewed by: 108
BCCI and WADAShould we support the BCCI on its stand in not it not accepting the ‘whereabouts’clause?

Yes we most certainly should. As the issue goes,BCCI is not against the testing of its players. WADA wants to know the whereabout of the players 3 months in advance and if they miss any three doping tests over 18 months, they will face a ban of upto 2 years. As the President of BCCI, Manohar Shankar said that the particular clause was unreasonable and violation of privacy. He explained it how, "We believe the clause with regard to whereabouts of cricketers is unreasonable for three reasons. Firstly, some Indian cricketers have security cover, and when you have a security cover, you cannot dislose whereabouts to a third person. Secondly, the privacy of individuals cannot be invaded. Third, the constitution of India gives a guarantee to every citizen regarding his privacy which cannot be invaded," (said by Manohar). And WADA is just a agency that is hired by ICC.

Here the most important thing is that the players are not to resort to any steriod abuse for the purpose of increasing the stamina or fitness. The players are in agreement of having the tests. They are ready to make themselves available for the testing if they are given 24-72 hours notice. What more can they do? More so the players association of New Zealand and South Africa share the same issues as the Indian players, but have accepted to the terms and conditions. Yes rules should be the same for everyone. But rules should be made for the benefit of the players. All should be in agreement to the terms and conditions in order for proper execution of the policy. When the players are not happy, in the future there will be misunderstanding taking place and a cold war going on within.We as Indians should back our players. Hats off to them, when they did not feel that they would be able to do justice to a particular clause, they came out and said it instead of nodding their heads like puppets.  Just because everybody else is doing it, does not mean that we to should do the same. We have a mind of our own, and we are expressing our views and reasonings frankly. That’s whats important. Then why not back up the players who practice 365 days and win matches for the country and its people. Why should the people question their decision now? Definitely I back the BCCI. I back our players in the team.Jai Ho !                                                                                                            Regards,                                                                                                            Farida H B
