Some backdrop : Mayawati calls Bapu - a nautankibaaz , Ricky Ponting called Bangaladesh's test team status - a bogus , and we said Yeh cup kahi nahi jayega .
I wonder about the mockery that these reel heroes make of themselves in front of the real heroes . This reminds me of a line from one of my favourite movies The Greatest Game Ever Played - " there are only two kinds of players in this world - one who keep their nerves in control and go on to win championships and the others who don't ." Perhaps that's why we must learn to avoid commenting on the stature of Sachin Tendulkar , Roger Federer , Tiger Woods ....because of the sheer reason of we being inept for it . For the most of us , our tryst with success remains within the periphery of so called fluke . Just like an under-exposed photographic film , our experiences and experiments with the light of failures and truths are momentary . Intoxicated by power , by success , by our obeisance and veneration our 'dillogical' Dhoni forgets that the title of "being the best" is still a bone of contention . I dunno what makes Mayawati and her likes harbour the hope of ever being the prime minister . May be because they think we are silly , but silly is a state of mind and stupid - a way of life which we haven't opted for yet .
But I wonder who is to be blamed . This is a vicious big circle , which stems and culminates from ubiquitous points . But exemplars are exemplars , and masquerades of condescension are sham , and the twain shall never meet
