ber the young men who fought day and night making sure the enemies did not enter their territory, young men who won a great war? Instead the focus was on match-fixing.
It is something that wrecked our life forever. Something that makes me wonder why does anyone play the game at all. Here are players and officials who are absolutely not in the know of sportsmanship and sportsman's spirit. I guess the term doesn't exist in their dictionary. And when the term doesn't exist in their lexicon, how can we expect them to play as a team? I mean here are players who are say and claim that they play for their land but bells ring in their ears at the sound of the cash have hope and faith say some. Tomorrow will be a brighter day say another.
Hope is a pillar that holds the world that keeps the world alive but sadly a mojority of us don't have that hope. How can we? When nobody still wants to take the blame or do something concrete. We don't have the courage of conviction in us. We don't have the guts to say "Yes we did something wrong." We let pride come in our way. We don't want to fall in our own esteem, let alone in that of others. We want to always bask in the glory and adulation and not let these times ever go by.
We can't proceed ahead, until we don't have a change in heart, a change in mind and a change in attitude. All of us have integrity, commitment, confidence, determination, human and moral values among other things imbibed in us. It takes a hero to win when the winds are against us. It takes a man to say 'Yes, I was wrong. I did something wrong and I'm sorry. It takes a man to own up a mistake. The Indian cricket team has been a hero. Is it not time it comes across a man?
