अब कौन दोषी?

कुछ लोग सुधारे ही नहीं जा सकते मतलब। ऑस्ट्रेलियाई क्रिकेट बोर्ड ने वार्नर, स्मिथ और Bancroft को घर भेज दिया जबकि कोच लेहमैन, बॉलर तिकड़ी नाथन लॉयन, स्टार्क और हैजलवुड पाक साफ करार दिए गए। पूरे दिन विश्व मीडिया झख मारती रह गयी इस अनुमान के आस पास कि लेहमैन के दिन (या घंटे) गिनती के रह गए हैं और यह परिणाम निकला।

मैं अब ज्यादा दुःखी हूँ क्योंकि Bancroft और स्मिथ के अंदर इतनी तो हिम्मत थी कि सबके सामने आकर अपनी गलती कुबूली और गर्दन कटवा दी। नाम तक नहीं लिया उन सबका जो इन सबमें उनके साथ थे। अब कौन बड़ा गैरत वाला निकला? क्या जो बच गए, वो चैन से रह पाएंगे? कोई ना कोई फूटेगा और फिर इन सबको ले बीतेगा।


यह ऑस्ट्रेलियाई क्रिकेट प्रशासकों के पास एक बेहतरीन मौका था कि वो अपनी क्रिकेट को साफ सुथरा कर सकें। लेहमैन जैसा व्यक्ति जो ज़िन्दगी भर लोगों के लिए अपने मन में नफरत भरता रहा, अभी भी कोच पद पर बैठा है और अब बड़ी शान से। कम से कम इन प्रशासको को उन सभी आरोपी खिलाड़ियों को टीम से बाहर कर देना चाहिए था कुछ समय तक और अच्छे से जांच पड़ताल करके अंतिम निर्णय लेना चाहिए था। ये कौन सा उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किये हैं अपने देश के सामने, भगवान ही जाने। सच कहूँ तो इन सबने स्मिथ से ज्यादे भद्द पिटवा दी ऑस्ट्रेलिया की पूरी क्रिकेट बिरादरी के सामने।

बेहद निराशाजनक!!!

Love and Friendship

Friendship is an aspect of life that’s not controlled by its beholders. Ideal friendships, well they are the things of past now. Many a times we have seen our parents or their parents talking about their old great friends and how amusingly they tell us about their bonding, the moments they spent together and we see a ‘priceless’ twinkle in their eyes…..that’s something which is missing from modern friendships. There are terms & phrases like ‘yaar tu to apna bhai hai’, ‘yaar tu to ghar ka aadmi hai’ which even today invoke something very beautiful inside our hearts but we all know that the feelings underneath them are ‘hollow’, they are just mere words, ‘emotionless’ and ‘impassive’. Well who am I to comment on such an indefinable ‘qualitative’ perspective? I’m one of you, those wretched creatures that are still in need of true, great friendships. Well I certainly can’t say that I haven’t got friends. I’ve got friends, plenty of them in fact, and some of them are real great. I s...

Racing Extinction (2015) : A Commentary

It's really hard to switch on to a different language from the one you have constantly been tinkering with. I grew so accustomed to writing in Hindi in last few days that it started dawning on me that I might never be good again with my English. So this is a tester, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, one of my movie group friends, an American by nationality, questioned my fondness of documentaries. I specifically wrote in one of my columns that documentaries demand your unwavering attention and once you gave 'that' to them, you are rewarded much more handsomely than a proper, narrative, fictitious film. My reasoning for believing so is that a documentary is an experience of a creative process. It doesn't get made to 'entertain' you. They are there to reveal something to you. They teach you something. You get overwhelmed by them. 'Racing Extinction (2015)' was one such documentary. I watched it in last couple of days. I couldn't complete it in one ...

What Virat Kohli Could Learn from Sourav Ganguly's Career

This IPL season might be dubbed as 'Kohli's IPL' in years to come. He is unarguably the best exponent of white-ball batsmanship going around. However, for someone like me who places a great emphasis on longest form of Cricket i.e. Test Cricket, until and unless he proves himself in seeming and swinging conditions of England and New Zealand (I believe in him and thus shall wish him luck), I shall still rank him behind Kane Williamson and Joe Root. Just to make sure I'm impartial to this debate, I put my favorite cricketer of all time i.e. Sourav Ganguly behind Sachin, Sehwag, Laxman and Dravid when it comes to rank him in FAB FIVE of Indian Batsmanship because he simply wasn't as good as them in test cricket. Many call him a very good test cricketer and maintaining an average of 40 in test cricket from the very beginning till the very end signifies their reasoning but still, he fell short of 45/50 that makes a batsman statistical behemoth in purest form of Cricket. ...
