Who needs a coach anyway ?

♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal

Its good news that once and for all the unwanted coach of Team India is gone. He is known as a "strategist", and so has he shown it to the world. He didn't want Team India to win the World Cup. And so showed the doors to the team. Because he knew that, if India remains in the hunt for her second Cup it would be damn difficult for Australia to get a hat-trick of it. And as a patriotic cricket fan he prayed for Australia to win. And who wouldn't love to see the face of that man again ? According to his brother Ian Chappell, Greg was afraid that he doesn't become another Bob Woolmer. And that's the reason why he quit as early as possible.That's one thing about a coach. But I need to ask does any team need a coach at all? All the players who make it to the playing 11 from the whole country, is by no means a dull player. What can a coach do at the most to a player or an individual ? He can only say a theoritical thing here or there. Which quite a common sense. That you can do...

Peace of Mind

♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal

The world today is full of hustle-and-bustle. The problems of the common man until the past 35-40 years was to make both ends meet somehow. Then the problem was to make atleast enough money. But enought means how much? Who would define enough? This situation was dominant in greater parts of India. People did not have the comfort that they have today. Be it living or communicating. Or the standard of living then was not as it its today. Even when the standard was increasing not all could afford it. Because money was the main concern. People did not have enough money to enjoy or fulfil their needs. But the story of today's India is different. Today India is a developing country. People do have enough money, though, the Rupee is devaluating, on their hands to fulfil what they yearn for. Even the middle class people do own cars. But alas ! In wanting more and more they keep running after only money. And that's what they dream of. And its where they have lost their peace of mind....

State of Cricket in India

♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal

For the first time in 17 years that the stars of the selectors of the Indian Cricket have turned on its head. How ? Simple! They have dropped the best player that ever lived on the planet Earth. And Saurav Ganguly to boot. What else will you call it ? And one more thing; who are the selectors to decide if a player who is performing should cool his heels ? Why don't the selectors adopt the same thing for themselves ? ONE MAN PER POST ! No they can't do it. Can they ? How can they ? Don't they want to continue occupying the chairs ? The Rotation System is only for the players; and not for them who are post holders. And the other thing: If a individual is earning and Lacs and Crores there will be a big problem in the already dusty heads of these board members. Well if any one is earning by their hard work, you have no right to deny them their income. That's totally undemocratic. And all know that India the largest Democracy in the world. Probably all have forgotten this grass root...

Use of Technology

♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal

The present generation has seen the most tremendous change than ever. Even in the last decade on one would have ever experience or thought of that after some 10-12 years even kids would be using the computers as easily as an experienced engineers. Life hasn't been the same ever. Technology has come to the resuce of the man every now and then. Who will understand its importance then the one who needs it badly. Our's is becoming a global village. The physical distance might not have changed; but communicationally speaking we are not very far from each other.But every coin has two sides, they say. The recent bomb explosions in Hydrabad (India) has shown it. The bombs that did not explode were attached to a cell phone. And when the caller calls the number and the mobile phone rings, yes that's it. The inhumane work is complete. There have been many more examples in India itself where there have been explosions using the cell phone. Not only that there have been instantces...
