Tame this hydra-headed monster

Patience is what today's youth lacks the most. They are not to blame for this impatience, for, this time of ours, the pace of advancement, the instancy, the immediacy in every field has had given them everything at such a pace as to leave them restless by only a single failure in a game of utmost uncertainty. Our's is a time of instant success, instant coffee, instant fame and instant downfall; to cut a long story short, every thing is instant.

The six sixes in an over, two winning world cup final blitzkriegs--like a blizzard on the opponents--and a lot of innings has not faded from our memory yet, and his innings have given the cricket fans many happy moments, and cheers. But, this time he failed to deliver, and pelting on his house was what he got in reward; not to mention the imprecations on him in the social media. It is simply a character assassination. And it must be condemned to the hilt. It is a torture, no sportsman anywhere on this planet calls for.

The day the latest fixing scandal, in IPL has broken out, Indian cricket is in a fall. The system in BCCI and ICC are to be blamed for. When the first fixing was unearthed , way back in 2000, it was not solved amicably then, and not equipped with proper mechanism for nixing the fixing in cricket. No mechanism was devised to battle and belittle this evil, and the evil has transformed into a hydra headed monster. There is still time for doing this, and ICC has every resources necessary to tame this evil suitably. But, what it lacks is the will. And until that will will emerge, the cricketing fraternity is very little to gain, and this ruthless juggernaut of the devil will continue ad-infinitum. And the fixing syndicate seems to have fixed the anti fixing bodies itself, and is giving it a very tough time indeed.

Indian Supreme Court has initiated the process of cleaning the Indian cricket by showing the door to the inapt administrator, whose collusion with the fixers is now well known, and whose intentions were even more hazy in solving the fixing menace. Let's hope that this time the honorable court does deliver some nasty fatal blow to this fixing imperium, and the Indian cricket will be free from its nefarious designs.

 Unfortunately, the Yuvi fans were also not made in a day, rather they were made by his consistency, his elegance, his class and his attacking style; and, the anger and gloom of not winning the world cup translated into such a huge raze and blabbing against him. But, amid all this furore, Yuvi will remain a fantastic batsmen of his era, and his days are not numbered yet. But yes, for few, the bell has started tolling, and their name will be revealed very soon. And the hydra headed monster must be nabbed and tamed before it makes it self ubiquitous.
