India's obsessions
by Sunil Raina on Jul 28, 2008 11:51 AM

People of this country have strange obsessions. Lalu ruled and spoiled Bihar for 15 years. Jyoti Basu ruled Bengal for 25 years and ruined it. But they still are Heros for us. Sachin has become more of a baggage for the Indian team but still people of this country will keep supporting him and hope that one day he will play well... it is height of obsession. Every cricket critic will talk against Ganguly and Dravid easily but will never say a word against Sachin inspite of his poorer perfomances compared to both of them. For God's sake please come out of obsessions and get real... Past is past.. Sachin is no more what he was.
Incidently why did Dhoni opt out of the series. Very simple... He has been signed for 36 brands.. A shoot for a campaign takes approx 3 to 5 days.. therefore he needs atlease 150 days to honor his commitments. Poor guy, how much is at stake for him... he is so tired.. IPL, Advts, fashion shows.. he is tired of playing cricket for country which doesn't fetch him enough..
