To err is human.

Mistakes can be made but never let them happen. Also take pride to admit them and take care not to repeat them. Mistakes get worst when committed in haste. Ask the Gujarat govt. how it felt when the High Court lifted the ban of Jeshwant book on Jinnah. Took a look at Kerala CM, Mr. V S Achuthanandan's face after his ambitious Munnar demolition project; saved, shaved and in tact ? Time is not yet ripe to write about the fatal mistakes committed by so many that ended in the tragic end of one of the best politician-statesman of India.
The B C C I, the richest sports body on the globe(that is because the I O C keeps only 8% of its revenues with it and distributes 92% among the needy) has this special ability to continuously commit bigger mistakes called Blunders. The most recent one is its decision to unilaterally detach itself from International Management Group(IMG) from future IPLs when actually there exists a 10-year contract. Fortunately, its former president Mr. Sharad Pawar has intervened and better sense might prevail preventing any legal tangle on the IPL.
Less said the better about the selection committees appointed by B C C I who act as brand ambassodors of Blunders Inc. Their main draw-back is the lack of guts to signal the Icons the right time to quit. How else could one explain the over-exposure of Kumble the Captain when he actually was a liability to the team, the recent recall of Mr. Wall(?) and we reach the ultimate Icon of them all. Nobody dares to show him the door, only he decides to quit. The selectors bend like Beckam in front of him, but a nice person, he minds his own business and not the selectors' even if they are nuts.
So please take care till my next post.
