I dont miss the meadows and springs!!!

Going past our busy schedule we tend to miss the beauty of nature,the wonderful meadows,rare flowers,mountains,blue rivers etc.
The lovely scenes rejuvenate the life in us.
Of late I dont miss the quintessence of nature.There are these puerile little kids near my house,I tell u .......they are the best the nature's ever milked.10 of them all below the age of 6.
I love them so much that my mom and I always end up discussing them.I keep giving them chocolates every now and then unable to stop the gush of love towards them.

There is this very small girl(smallest of the lot,hardly 2 yrs old) who gets bullied by her fellow friends.They love intimidating her so much that she ends up crying and leaving the play field everyday.
Her elder sister never alleviates her grief,always bootlicks her other friends with the fear that she might be alienated too.........
A huge stab of deceit...........
Another girl,a little elder to the smallest one..........always has her thoughts focused on browbeating her.
There is this very quiet girl(in her early kindergarten) who never disobeys the orders from her higher peers(I mean the ones a little elder to her),but ends up peeping through my window hoping she'll get a chocolate.A chocolate for that moment makes her life......thats all she aims for.Ohh my God so immature..........
She always opts to go to the market with her mom,wishing she'll get a colored jelly or a chocolate when the others are found busy playing the world's every move.
I presume,in future she'll turn out to be a connoisseur of food. :P
Nothing really exists to stop these kids playing on the streets.......making a mess out of the place,chirping like birds.Hmmmmmm but they are scared of one person who looks like Hagrid(from HP).They feel the tingle of the nerves the instant they see him.All the kiddos clear the place the moment they sniff his presence.Running and fighting the frogs in their throats........What a sight to witness......The kind of phobias we can never be touched with......
I cant stop myself watching them play,taking me back to my childhood days when we played the teacher-student roles,mother-father-daughter roles,police-thief roles etc etc.

Horror unfolded......

Conspiracy against India????Wasnt it????
Are the umpires arbiters????
Is the umpiring foolproof????
Do the Aussies play a fair game???
Is it really a record for the Aussies??


Australia once again found support from the umpires as India were beaten by 122 runs in the Sydney Test. Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly fell to poor decisions as the home side took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
THE UMPIRES MARRED SYDNEY TEST.
It was only one team that played with true spirit and thats India.An agitated Indian skipper Anil Kumble hardly minced words in blaming the dubious umpiring by Mark Benson and Steve Bucknor for his side's heart-breaking loss to Australia in the second cricket Test.

THE THREE B's(Benson,Bucknor and Bruce Oxenford) SHOULD BE SACKED..........
BENSON,BUCKNOR,RICKY PONTING,CLARKE much bigger cheats in the world.


It was a 14 player team(11players + bloody umpires) VS 11 player team.
Words are around that in the pre test conference Ricky Ponting declared that when the decision of a wicket is not clear,the fielder should be consulted.......WHAT CRAP???

Who the hell is he to decide what needs to be done.

ACCORDING TO THE ICC RULES WHEN A DECISION CANNOT BE MADE MAY BE DUE TO LACK OF TECHNOLOGY THE DECISION SHOULD BE IN FAVOUR OF THE BATSMAN.

Australians justly pride themselves on being cricket's Number 1 team but today there are question marks on their sportsmanship.
The Kangaroos have never left anyone in doubt that they play their cricket hard.
They are notorious for sledging, an art they have perfected but they have no stomach when the rival teams give it back to them.
Apart from dragging Harbhajan Singh into a racial row, the conduct of the Australians in the second cricket Test against India, which ended on Sunday, is a blot on their sportsmanship.They may have won the game with the generous help from the umpires but their behaviour should be an embarrassment for a team that is undoubtedly a champion side.Adam Gilchrist, who claims to have set standard for sportsmanship by walking whenever he believes he is out, on Sunday appealed for a catch of Rahul Dravid when the bat was nowhere near the ball.Steve Bucknor, the West Indian umpire who has time and again proved to be India's bugbear, upheld the appeal.Skipper Ricky Ponting seemed to have caught Mahendra Singh Dhoni but the ball had hit the ground in the attempt.However, Ponting had no hesitation in claiming for a catch.

An inquiry into the issue can do no good,a loss is afterall a loss,totally demoralizing the spirit of the Indians.

A 'blind' Steve Bucknor and an equally erratic Mark Benson again did their bit to ensure that the second cricket Test between India and Australia would be remembered more for its long list of umpiring howlers than cricketing action.If the opening day set the tone with three dubious decisions, the final day which saw India crashing to a shock 122-run defeat witnessed a number of horrendous decisions which proved costly for the visitors.The series of blunders in this Test will further strengthen the demand for the use of technology to minimise human error.Both the umpires knocked the life out of India's second innings resistance with two decisions and the visitors could not recover from the setbacks.After a top order collapse, Sourav Ganguly (51) and Rahul Dravid (38) had just steadied the rocking boat when both returned to dubious dismissals.Dravid had padded an Andrew Symonds delivery that brushed his knee-roll before landing on Adam Gilchrist's gloves and Bucknor ruled the batsman caught behind.Next was the turn of Benson who ruled Ganguly out even though Michael Clarke took a catch that apparently came off the ground.Benson surprisingly preferred not to consider Bucknor or the third umpire and instead asked Ricky Ponting, who gestured that Ganguly was out.Much to Ganguly's dismay, Benson raised his finger, a decision that had former India captain Sunil Gavaskar livid.
Gavaskar lambasted Benson for not consulting Bucknor or the third umpire and going by Ponting's words.
How can you go by the words of Clarke or Ponting? Clarke stood his ground despite being caught by Dravid and Ponting did not walk despite being caught. They did not walk, which means they have been less than honest while batting. The same guys can't be honest while fielding.
Ponting had edged Ganguly in the first innings to be caught by MS Dhoni but Benson gave him a 'life', while Clarke was caught at slip by Dravid in the second innings off Anil Kumble but the batsman still lingered on the crease before eventually departing.Benson could have consulted his colleague in the square leg or the third umpire. Instead, he went to Ponting and went by whatever he said. This is absolutely not on. This is utter nonsense.
Yesterday too, Australia benefited from Benson's generosity after he ruled in Mike Hussey's favour even after the batsman had edged RP Singh to Dhoni.Hussey, who was then on 45, made the most of the 'life' and went on to make an unbeaten 145 to swell Australia's lead.Similarly, Symonds thrived on the umpires' largess in the first innings. The all-rounder was caught by Dhoni off Ishant Sharma on 30 but Bucknor turned down the appeal, allowing him to score an unbeaten 162 that bailed out the hosts, who had slumped to 134 for six at that stage.On his way, Symonds got another 'life' by third umpire Bruce Oxenford who ruled him not out when he was stumped by Dhoni off Anil Kumble.

Bucknor has always conspired against India.....
1992-Jonty Rhodes was not declared run out.
1998-Sachin ,declared out inspite of being alive.
2003-Same isuue against Sachin.
2004-Dravid being mocked.
BUCKNOR SHOULD BE PROSCRIBED FROM THE GAME OF CRICKET.
Im totally in anguish at this point of time.I would suggest that technology should assume its place in arbitrating.
