Cricket "OBSESSION"  

Posted in

For almost a week everyone’s been talking about the semi – finals between India and Pakistan and in all this , I was somewhere lost and least interested. Since childhood, I could never understand this craze for cricket among Indians, and why was there a need to worship it as the “god of all sports”. Well this was my ideology because I was never inclined towards sports. For long I was not even acquainted to most of the cricket terminologies and was almost an out caste from this “society of cricket worshippers”. The worst used to be when even after having two televisions at home, I had no option other then walking up and down the passage stamping my feet as both of them were occupied by my cricket loving family and their cricket loyal friends.
The most amazing thing happened when one fine day I realized that it was not cricket , but hockey which  our national game. Well am sure, half of India doesn’t even know this, keeping in mind the hype cricket gets. The question that arises in the flip girl’s mind is why is there such a distinction? Why isn’t each sport treated equally in India?
With the cricket players playing in pools of money and giving a tough competition to “Uncle scrooge’s vault “ on one hand and the hockey players, who were left with no other option ,than going on a strike to demand for their rightful  salaries, am sorry, I can’t figure out how’s it our national sport? We talk about the feelings of nationality , yet this is how we Indians treat our national game. But then, why am I even complaining, when our national bird and national animal could be endangered and almost at the verge of extinction, then why not our national game , which is already a low profile sport in our country.
  My facebook account was flooded with status updates, cheering and rejoicing India’s semi final victory, but there wasn’t even 1% of the same hype during the Hockey world cup, nor there any disappointment when the Indian team was ousted. On the contrary, our cricket worshipping  society would go into depression every time India would lose a match, however insignificant it might be.
When a movie like Chak De India came, it was considered an expensive experiment; a. it was a movie on hockey ; b. it was subjected to woman empowerment. But it did bring in a mini revolution, when we Indians were awakened. But then it was short lived, with the Introduction of IPL , one of the highest money minting and star studded ventures of the Cricket Board, our cricket worshippers were back in form , yet again neglecting the major issue pertaining to the  significance of our national game.
Coming over to football, I was tired of jokes on the perspective Indian football team , that was circulated during the FIFA world cup. I was severely annoyed and disgusted by this approach. How can you make fun of your own country? We have immense talent; it’s just that we haven’t been able to discover it. And do you want to know the reason, well it is that our sports ministry has diverted most of its attention and funds to cricket and it hardly has time for other sports. There has to be a beginning somewhere. We cannot always stick to “East Bengal and Mohan Bagan”.  It’s obvious, in the first go we might not be able to lift the CUP, but at least we will start somewhere.
India needs to evolve and break from the cliché world of cricket lovers. Our country has more to it than just the “men in blue” . I don’t say that they are not significant, yes they are, very much, I too have my personal favourites and not being a hypocrite, I might not be able to name any hockey player, but that is what something we need to change. It is the time for a “sport’s revolution “, it is the time to recognize new talents and discover new arenas of sports. I don’t criticize  cricket nor the cricket lovers, I too am equally overjoyed to know that India won the semi finals, I too have my fingers crossed for the finals, all I humbly request is not to forget the other sports, especially our national sport. If you have the feeling of nationalism, loyalty towards the country , then have it for all the sports equally. I know the mindsets can’t change in one go, but at least give it a try. Let’s have more Sainas(badminton) , Abhinavs ( rifle shooting), Saurav Ghosals( squash)  and Vijendras(wrestling), and if am not asking for more our own national football team. With that I take a leave.
GO INDIA, GO!!!

Cricket Mania!

First of all my most sincere apologies to my readers for not being able to reach out to you since a long long time…. I’ m seriously sorry friends….but THOUGHTS AND PEPPER had actually run out of thoughts….. ;)
But I’ m back…with a sack full of new, a bit peppy and of course, a bit hatke vichaar s going haywire in my mind……with a pinch of  pepper sprinkled on them……as usual… J

The latest thought that is running in my mind….well I should say, the one that seemed the most appealing to me at this point of time is…
The World Cup Scenario….

Cricket has been since years followed as a religion in our country. The craze, the passion for it has been unending. Cricketers being worshipped as gods, and celebrated as film personalities. This has been the tradition in our country, followed from the time India proved its mettle in the 1983 World Cup. Since then, be it the kids playing gali- cricket in the street, the school or college students playing on the playgrounds or be it the group of old people sitting together hearing to the live commentary on the transistor, after every four years, every Indian has dreamt of seeing the world cup in the hands of the Indian team…

But this craze is not only limited to the world cup matches…of course not….there is one more platform where cricket is accompanied with the same mania, same zeal and same enthusiasm….well….no points for guessing, .. The answer is…. INDIA- PAKISTAN matches….
Whatever be the reasons for it, the craze for any India Pakistan match is umm……..sorry guys but I am seriously out of words to describe it….. And I don’t think any Indian needs words to understand it…. I mean cricket is in our veins guys…
During such matches, it seems that every Indian has been given a strong dose of adrenaline, a boost in their veins ….the hoots when Yuvraj or Dhoni play a master stroke, the mourning when Sachin returns to the pavilion scoring a nervous ninety, the shrieks when Gambhir or Raina are saved from being run- out, or the loud shouts of joy when Bhajji takes a wicket….all these moments do not seem less than a massive moment of celebration, just as the birth of a child at home, most of the times, even more than that… The craze is unbeatable, unmatchable and unimaginable…


Coming back to the current scenario, i.e. World Cup 2011…
It seems that some o the major upsets in the history of cricket have been created in this world cup. Taking a look at the last three matches, Pakistan reaching the semi finals giving West Indies a humungous defeat by ten wickets, the other day New Zealand defeating the giants of the game, the South African team…and the one that is of utmost importance to every Hindustani… India throwing out the Australian team; which has been taking the cup home consecutively for the past two times; in the quarter finals itself. This came as a real pleasant surprise for every Indian who was glued on the seats in front of the idiot box for hours on a stretch just to watch the fate of the world cup trophy, or I should say, just to decide within themselves “Will the cup be ours this time?????
The excitement, the joy, the happiness knew no bounds… Cricket fans celebrating India’s victory over the Victors in every possible way…
Viewing the current situation, and the teams India has to compete with now to claim a right over the cup, it seems somewhat predictable that this year the trophy is ours…. However as goes a famous saying…
“Do Not Count Your Chickens before They Hatch”…

Though now this rule is very less applicable, even then, all we can do is just wait and watch what the destiny holds for the Indian team as well as for the World Cup Dream of every Indian….

So with my best wishes to the Indian Cricket team, Dhoni and his MEN IN BLUE,…and also with a hope that the dream is fulfilled… here is Roshni Punjabi signing off, promising to be back soon, with some more thoughts, and of course… a tinge of pepper… J
Adios readers…
And
Chak De India…  :)
