An Ode to Pretention
Images . Burnt in the mind
Memories . A part of the soul
Days. Eternity …. Void . Deep
Life . An abyss .. a black hole
How long is enough? When shall it pass? Is time really the great healer its made out to be?
Purge the mind, burn the store
throw out the unanswered questions, the distrust, the deceit
coz only when is done and gone
will I be at peace ….. I hope.
No one wants to see your tears
no one wants to hear your sorrows
laugh and the world laughs with you,
cry, and you’re alone tommorow.
So chin-up dude, go wear your mask,
check the sadness and put on the facade,
Life’s unfair, agreed. But there are smiles to spread,
If you can’t even do that , you’re better off dead.
The Royal Muddle!
While England removed KP from captaincy, Mr Mallaya has removed the dependable Rahul Dravid from the esteemed post and handed the throne to KP, it is ironic, isn’t it. I mean, what is the rationale behind the move? Does Mr Mallaya believe that KP can inspire the woe-begone team, or does he actually think that this is the only way to KP’s (bloated) ego. To me personally, KP has never seemed that great a player. He is a bit of a showboat, and not my first choice if my team is in trouble
It seems to me that the Royal Challengers Owner, Vijay Mallaya, has put all his eggs in Kevin Pieterson’s basket. History has shown us that any cricket team dependent on one or two players, has rarely done consistently well. Seriously, tell me who else besides KP, Kallis and Rahul seems like the batting mainstay of the team. The challengers will need Ross Taylor and Virat Kohli to fire on all cylinders, but most importantly, they will need Robin Utthappa to get his head right and realize that he is what he is because of the game, not because of his wannabe rock star antics
If I have any sympathy for this team, its becuase it contains two of my favorite players, who are also two of India’s most underrated, simple, hard working and ethical human beings. Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble
