#Analysis of a frustrated #IndianCricket fan

Now that we have exited, I feel some changes are required in the setup for white ball cricket.

Rohith is not captaincy material for National team. Though it may sound preposterous, we need Kohli back as captain. Fire is missing

1/
KL Rahul, Pant, Bhuvi, Shami, Axar should be benched.

Need to blood in more youngsters & give longer rope.

Thou may be unpopular, we need good mix of Left & Right hand batsmen.

Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer need to be give some more chances

2/
Need to clearly identify the next captain and groom him. With all due respect to SKY, I would love him to be destroyer in chief than worry about captaincy

If IPL was a yardstick, one should consider Hardik as one potential candidate, but he needs to be consistent

3/
We need more bowling candidates. T Natarajan, Avesh Khan (improved consistency), Umran Malik, Deepak Chahar need a look in.

Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzi Chahal, Rahul Chahar need to get chances

4/
Fielding needs a leap up, specially the bowlers. Even catching needs to improve.

If there is one person who can inculcate discipline, it should be Rahul Dravid.

Praying for better days for Indian Cricket.

#layoffs

While everyone is commenting about layoffs (quite frankly how many do personally know what it means), I thought it may help to share a perspective.. from someone who faced this twice in life & saw 2 more in close quarters..

Some lessons from past.. Thread below

1/
In corporate world, layoffs are a reality. One can try to put a logic to it, but it doesn't matter. Logical, Business, Macro Economy or otherwise, it is a reality that can happen.

If one believes their job is secure till retirement, nothing can't be farther from truth

2/
Business reasons, Egos (yes this also is a factor), funding drying up, Economy.. reasons can be quite different.

In every appraisal cycle, their is a "curve-fitting" exercise. Those who are involved know this.

Your Dharma and Mine - Shatavadhani Dr. R. Ganesh

A book that makes the reader contemplate on every single word, a truly genius of a book.

I wouldn’t even dare to even think of rating this book, but yet it has maximum stars for me & beyond

1/
Dharma, what does it mean? What does it signify? For such existential questions, one definite reference is this book by Dr. Ganesh. Samanya Dharma which is the core tenet of our lives is discussed in very fine detail.

2/
The author has quoted multiple sources including Samhitas, Arayanakas, Upanishads, Srimad Bhagwad Gita, Puranas like Agni Purana, Mahabharatha, Yajnyavalkya Smriti, Manu Smriti, Apastamba-dharma-sutra to name a few.

Bravehearts of Bharat - @vikramsampath

An impulsive purchase from @PadhegaIndia_ , this book is a treasure trove of gems from our history. A highly recommended MUST read / must have in collection

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

Review below 👇

1/
History is filled with multiple stories of quite well known personalities. However, there are quite a large number whose stories are not widely known to the general populace.

This anthology of 15 such Bravehearts tries to bridge this vacuum to some extent.

2/
Beautifully curated accounts of 15 personalities across geography and time, with quite a equanimous representation of women, this book gives a crisp into the background, lives and contributions of these personalities in the annals of Indian history.

#TheDewansOfMysore
Very interesting incident from Dewans of Mysore by DVG

There was a custom during Durbars of Mysore palace (Dasara / Janmotsava of the Maharaja etc). Locals sat cross-legged on the floor and spoke during the assembly.

1/
The Europeans adorned the chair.

The Dewan told them in no uncertain term : "If this is how it is going to be, you can't come to the Durbar"

The British officials said: "We wear trousers & are not used to wear dhotras & neither is our practice to wear uttariyas ... "

2/
" ..The only appropriate seating for us is Chair"

After some thought, Dewan said : "Lets have separate Durbar for Europeans. During that event, even the locals shall be seated on the chairs.

Everyone, locals & foreigners must be treated with same respect and dignity..."

Inked In India by @bibekdebroy sir and Suvon Roy

This is literally a history book with such rich details, it leaves one contemplating with a question: What if

FP collectors can relate to some if not the entire gamut of timeline presented here

Recommended Read
1/
Tracing the various pen manufacturers and ink companies from 19th century onwards, this book highlights the industry as a whole detailing about early entrepreneurs & their various experiences.

2/
One of the chapters that makes for fascinating read is the one on Mahatma Gandhi & Ambedkar.

While MKG was against fountain pens and preferred reed pens to symbolise village industry, Ambedkar's preference for pens makes a fascinating read.
