The time is flying. I don't know how fast but its flying. In this course my random incoherent thoughts stopped as I took a peek at the wall clock which also shows the date. Date? " Huh.." who on earth remembers the dates!!!! Its all the days now: Mon to Sun. And I believe we count the days just because we awaits for the beautiful Friday evening. On Monday morning its nothing but more kind of a new variety of count. Neither a count down nor a count up but a "Count through" for the upcoming Friday. And that how now I cope with this flying time. When I was in the school I remember counting time by periods. One day would be 6 periods, and with every passing period a day used to get shorten. Then I became little older and dates would soon become the counting unit. But it couldn't last long.
Then the engineering career the 4 years. Where we counted a year as two semester. With one semester half year ended. And a semester became the unit of time for 4 years, of course we had few shorter units like mid-sems which would account for half of a semester. Then this corporate life.... now the unit is "week". A month is no more a collection of 30 days on an average but a month is of 4 weeks. Each week is calculated with days and days are of 2 half. 9-1 the first half and 2-6 the second half. The week ends, the month ends and with this ends a year. I become one year older or say one more year closer to my death! what ever that aint the point of discussion. I just wanted to express my bewilderment of this changing unit of time.
Now a week does not seem long may be because a week accounts for a very small proportion of our age, while a period seemed very long in school may be because the proportion of a week to our present age is less than the proportion of a period to our child hood age.

Murder of a Cricket team
At last BCCI finished the autopsy and the fact is revealed that the death of Indian team had been due to semi murder and semi suicide. How? The 50% murder was done by chapell. And the suicide is of course the poor performance of the whole team. And when this murder and suicide attempt occurred at the same time the whole rotten episode was played.
Now the BCCI has put constraints on the endorsement. But seldom they understand a check on endorsement won’t help but it will worsen the situation.
Dhoni stormed into the limelight and became hero overnight. It was then that he became the poster boy for the The Cricinfo Guide to International Cricket 2007 by Steven Lynch.
The cricketers as well as the public knows number of endorsement agreement is directly propertional to the players performance. So when some one does not look handsome on the wicket, it means he is loosing the deal. On the contrary these ad deals are motivational factors which would lead a man to do better. Now with this cut in match fee and endorsements, as of now it seems it will work negatively. Moreover to be the brand ambassador of some company is a personal choice so BCCI does not have the right to check the personal interest. It may act as boomerang on BCCI. Only coming time to tell.
Now all we can understand form the aftermath of World cup is only the team and the public has the eye to see chapell’s fault. All the way chapel called his baseless experimentations as “PROCESS” which was ambiguous through out with out and goal and invested zeal. The so called process had to phases along with a branch phase.
PHASE 1: Drop a man- pick him back- drop him again-pick him back.
(N.B In this phase of the “PROCESS” players are tested for the stress tolerance against the insecure place and playing off and on.)
PHASE 2: Shuffle the batting order and the bowling order like u r playing cards.
( N.B during this phase of the “PROCESS” the player is tested for the capacity to act like second god…. Come on I respect god so gave him 1st place. See the man must be able to come down at any point of the game and should be capable of doing miracles of hitting 10 sixes at a stretch.)
The special Branch phase of the “PROCESS” was the open rows between the players and the coach. Going to press and then finding fault in everything.
This is how the team was slow poisoned with the “PROCESS”. But to the utter astonishment the process never included any strategic planning. No action in transforming the ‘defensive fielding’ to ‘attacking fielding’. NO planned strategy to handle different teams at different wickets and weathers.
This is how the 50% murder was done at one go. Now the suicidal part: the players are the one who are actually expected to perform. Now taking into account the background of the players none have emerged as gifted. All of them have worked hard to reach the height. Now given that, it is obvious to expect them to do well regardless of all these strategic incompetence and sick coaching. After all “you r a bats man and the only goal is to hit runs from the bat” with this motto in mind no bats man played. Same with the bowlers. So they forgot their own motto just to screw up them selves in the fake hype and finding faults. But they are too not all responsible its rooted in Indian culture. Any where we are the first to break the rules. We are the first to forget all the efforts and the fact we-are-not-risk-taker is taken for granted. It is evident in Indian way of fielding.Only two way to save Indian cricket :God comes and save sit or the players understand their motto.
