Bob's Demise ... Game's Attitude
by annadatha muralimanohar on Mar 19, 2007 07:56 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Dear Readers,



I am very much shocked to hear the sad and sudden demise of Pakistan's Coach Bob Woolmer. He is an Indian (as he was born in Kanpur) and his father himself played a Ranji Cricket.



This game - Cricket, has been given a BIG HYPE by the Media and mostly by US - People, who we call ourselves as Great Fans.



Cricket - yes.. is a Big Passion to many of us, including me. There have been many occasions, we have missed our schools, colleges and now our office duties too, just to support our teams. But many of us, have become so much attached to it, as great fans, we are NOT able to TOLERATE the defeat of our country to anyone.



There used to be a SILENT WAR, when Great Teams - India and Pakistan faced each other, in any venues - so much so, both the country men, were obsessed with the game.



Ofcourse, the hype our Indian Team have got, is totally because of OUR FAITH, LOVE for them. We have made them HEROS, overnight. We have PRAYED for our COUNTRY's WIN in all our prayers - even though, many of us, have not prayed for our OWN life's success - such is our LOVE for our Country's Game's representative.



But LIFE IS A GAME. Everyday is NOT Sunday. We can't expect our everyday to win.



One has to stand for the occasion and ready to face the situation.



Our TEAM INDIA now does not require any BATTING / Bowling / Fielding Coaching. They require OUR MORAL Support and our cricketers have to LEARN how to face the Expectations of OVER 1 BILLION People's DREAMS.



Please be with them (I was also too rude to abuse them, when I saw them loosing so badly on the other day, against Bangladeshi men).



Indian Team is NOT a NAYAK, but they are KAL NAYAK people.



India will EMERGE as WINNERS and bring Laurels to our NATION and SMILE back to their fans.



Even if they did not, THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.



To team and to coach - Do your BEST, Play to your fullest and remember that you are playing for the NATION. Forget about any tension. Be cool!. You can WIN.



HUM KISSE SE KUM NAHIN.



If it is to be, It is up to YOU.



Bravo. You WILL WIN.



We can, We WOULD and WE WILL, face the challenges, as a PROFESSIONAL.



I love INDIA.



Jai Hind.



Murali Manohar, Kuwait.
