To all the Losers ;)

My last post on Indian debacle at the Cricket World Cup. I have the same question that always come to mind looking at the people who comment on the Cricket team. People who talk about the field placement or the batting order, never even played at the school level. They do not know the pressure in the game, even when playing for a small team. Analyzing is not bad, blaming is. And people who complain about the others failures are not even great achievers in what they do. Forget about achievements or success. They should just ask themselves if they are doing justice to the work they do for which they are getting paid for. These are the same people who watch 'Cricket', by skipping the work. There is nothing wrong in 'failure', but it is criminal to bad mouth the failed, when you are not honest to your duties. Panchjanya editor seems to have conveyed the same in a better way.

Sangh asks those who frown at them to introspect on whether they themselves have won every match in their life. An editorial in the latest issue of the weekly Panchjanya has ridiculed the “childish” and obsessive way people in the country make cricket a life-and-death issue, dragging the 11 players of the team from heroes to zeroes in a trice and even committing suicide over losing a game. “Is losing so bad...Is the country hanging on the performance of a team of 11?” the RSS has asked, exhorting those who “expect them to always win to look within and see whether they themselves have always been successful”. Also, to ask themselves whether every time they failed, was it willfully to aid some kind of betting scheme, as the cricket team is accused of doing in the wake of every loss.
