Shastri should have bowed out Gracefully

Public show of emotion always makes you look to be on the wrong side irrespective of facts!!


How would you feel if you bake the perfect cake and almost did the perfect icing and then  tragedy strikes and your perfect creation is not so perfect anymore! Heartache!!
I think that is the feeling Ravi Shatri must be going through in the hind sight !
A bull in a China shop is never a good sight!
Though a Bengali will always side with "Dada" irrespective of any reason! He is larger than any Icon West Bengal has ever had - he is Rajnikant of West Bengal - no questions asked !! There is a show on Zee Bangla called - DADAGIRI  ( roughly translates to attitude is everything or who is the boss) which is modeled around him such is his popularity. Again popularity many can achieve but winning love of the masses is a difficult task and he has achieved that , I may dare to say only bypassed by Netaji or Tagore!!

But coming back to Ravi Shastri whose hugely famous victory lap in Melbourne stadium in the Audi he won after becoming "Man of the Series" post India's victory in the 1985 Benson Hedges World Cricket Championship is a red lettered day for Indian cricket. Many of us got initiated to cricket on that day or in that series, but little did I know he had won an Audi all I knew we won and it was some big car which Shastri won!!
After achieving such greatness - Shastri should have bowed out with grace and not like a child kicking , fretting and fuming in public!
If any thing seems to be snowballing into a public show of emotion

its best dropped and damages cut or minimized !

My craze for cricket has ebbed since IPL and match-fixing fiasco,I am not a big cricket fan anymore, but I hope now that the famous five of the Indian cricket are at the helm - they may finally cleanse the game of the abnormalities it was picked up on its journey so far!!
