Cricket coach and National Spirit

News of BCCI deciding Gary Kiersten as Indian coach is taking rounds on media circles. This white skin fixation of Indian cricket is pathetic. After reading his musings in 1996 tour diary.. i really feel terrible... its quite sad that we have to bring people with such derogatory outlook about our country and the sport and get coached our national team.. Please don't feel once again taking up the oft beaten track of "the need for an Indian Coach". What's wrong in handing over the mantle to the kinds of Sandeep Patil, Robin Singh, Roger Binny, Anshuman Gakewad etc.. who have well proven their credentials in previous exposures... Morevoer they are good at fitness front and man management skills too... the only need is for providing them a freedom to run their regime. Hope wisdom prevails.. Cricket, may be another sport, but it's influence among Indian society is quite phenomenal.

Gujrat - the pain the linger

While the expose of Tehelka sank without a trace, as Congress and Left shown more hurry than the sangh parivar to shove it under carpet.. the deep scars that it had created in many a lives bound to linger. One of the bloodiest pogroms in the history of independent India, brought not even a single culprit to the altar of justice. It's a shame (not withstanding the crocodile tears of hypocrites and opportunities in moderate and secular garbs) to Hindu culture, perhaps the only relgious entity that would tolerate pluralistic society, to let free such demons and barbarians in two legs...
