Bangladesh Civil& Political Social Network Limited





From ref:http://journey2infinitive.blogspot.com/2012/05/bangladesh-civil-political-social.html

Amit Bikram is very confused after his death. He was the student of Mathematics. He had
Dream to fly on sky. One fine day he  came to know about a computer training center.
Gradually came to touch of several tools like VB Dot net, C#. He got new dimension of life.
He entered into a new world. He had Masters in Mathematics which helped him to develop
logic.He could able to establish him an A1 Software developer. He started to touch Silver line and
had suddenly discovered himself on Silicon Valley. The life was simply great for him. But he came up with very short span of life. One day he had found his own body was on the highway
of Michigan in his own Honda. He was an orphan. So He had no idea about religion. His spirit was

roaming here and there. He was more interested about his own country Bangladesh. After death

there is no orphan or elite status. Everyone is equal in here. One fine day he met Apple
owner Steve Jobs to buy apple from the Ghost market. He was astonished to see him and had

come quickly to him...  Steve was little scared while he came to know that Amit is from Bangladesh and he had unnatural death in young age. Mr Jobs questioned “why do you come here?  You are new Young

leader of Bangladesh. You people have achieved so many things by talk.”  Amit was surprised.

Mr. Jobs might make mistake “When the hell is he become young leader?” He had no relationship so far with Politics of Bangladesh. He was a bloody orphan. He even does not know
the name of his parents.  He was living almost hand to mouth in his boyhood. Due to the

mercy of some good people and his own effort he has come so far.

“Sir You might make some mistakes. I had no relationship with politics.” Amit replied.

Steve Jobs raised his eyebrow,” Are you not from Bangladesh?”

Amit replied positively.
Mr.  Jobs told him,
“ You don’t need to involve in politics to go to power or to be young
Leader in Bangladesh.”

Amit was little irritated and told,” Sir, I might be from a third world country. But
our people  sacrificed  life. We had great political history. Our Leaders were not
born with golden spoon. We have a glorious past from 1952-1971. Even your
Country USA was against our freedom. Still we have achieved our victory.”

Jobs was little polite, “No My boy I did not   speak you about political leader ship.”
Amit was surprised,"what kind of leadership are you asking sir?"

I am referring about a company leadership Mr. Jobs explained. In other word
It can be told Social Entrepreneurship. There are Many Chief
Executive officers, Chief operating officers who can win the world by talks only for this company.

Amit was sorry for Steve Jobs. He thought, “Mr. Jobs might develop some psychological
Problem.”
But Still he was hearing what Stave Jobs wanted to say.


Steve Jobs: Do you know there is a new company Incorporated in Bangladesh called
“Bangladesh Civil& Political Social Network Limited”?

Amit: No

Steve Jobs: I don’t understand one thing why did you come to USA for Software Jobs?
Here you need to do Analysis, Coding, debugging and testing but if you had joined BCPSNL,
You did not need to do any donkey work. You just need to talk, talk and talk.

Amit: Sir I never heard this company name. who are the owners of this company?

Steve Jobs: This is a big Social Industrial group of Bangladesh. They feel Politicians
are all ill manners, Uncultured, Uneducated? But problem is that 85% people
Is Illiterate in this country. But 85% is living under poverty line. So As east India company,
They can run this Bangladesh with lots of Socio tools like Grameen Bank, BRAC and all.

Amit: Sir I think You are making some mistakes. These  Grameen Bank, BRAC etc
 are very reputed organizations across the globe. They are not any kind of software or tools.

Steve Jobs: No Amit These are very modern  Software which our USA Government  has developed . our Government recruited  our very trusted persons as CEO . But These
People had one problem. They want more and more and they had feudal mentality.

 The organization belongs to us but they need more. Besides there are too many stakes
Holders now and these stake holders are playing major roles.

Amit: who are these stake holders?

Steve Jobs: They are editors of Leading daily who are serving business interest of their own owners.
The owners of the TV Channels, Retired bureaucrats , Retired Army officer . You guys told
a name in Bengali sorry I forgot the name.

Amit : Sushil Shomaj?

Steve Jobs : Yes this one. You have smart memory.

Amit: But Sir I don’t understand one thing ,” How could I join this company and what
Could be my designation? And I  know only development work. Yes I was planning
To do MBA for  future management prospect. But before that unfortunately my moral
Coil  is  switched off.

Steve Jobs : Oh No. Can't you talk?  then you could not qualify irrespective about your  academic
& Professional  efficiency. Your designation  could be  “ Young Leader”. One more thing I need to  point out there are so many private universities of  BCPSNL like Mushroom  , MBA degree

You could  easily achieve. You are Just another fool like me  Amit who was working and thinking
So heard to be leader. But Still now today I can’t achieve my leadership.
Steve Jobs left without any word and Amit was spell bound.

The Future Road Map of Brazil Team







Departure of Ricardo Teixeira  is creating lots of hue and cry  across the globe. According to
Brazilian and world media   Teixeira  is the reason behind  every bad things  of the Brazil.

But very often people  forget  the contribution  of a person towards the game. But I don’t like

 To discuss right now about Teixeira and his corruption. But  rather I was worried about future

Of Mano  Menezes  because  he  had been closely  associated with  Teixeira.  Thanks God

New President of CBF Jose Maria Marin   has  expressed his  confidence on Manezes  although London

Olympic  is  the biggest test for  this soft spoken  humble  tactician. Mano Menezes  is neither pragmatic
 As   his predecessor  Carlos  Dunga   nor  romantic  as   Vanderlei  Luxemburgo.  Although 94 world cup

 Hero  Romario has already started to advocate for Joel Santanta , according to me current Brazilian squad is extremely  talented and they have  every possibility to be  one of the best of the history. It is become thank less job  for  any  national  team manager to manage  the team because of heavy schedule   of  club football.  These  national team managers never get any scope  to even get 11 players
Full  1 month  for training  together.  A bunch of  footballers are coming  from different  club  of different

Formation. They even don’t get enough time to  adopt the formation of National  coach. But for any bad result manager is become the  scapegoat . I have one optimistic  observation  on current  Brazilian  Players  of Europe.  Except Kaka, Pato, Robinho and Thiago Silva there are not  very big names who are penetrating  opposition.  Hulk , Hernanes,  Ramires  are earning respect  but they are  actually  2nd
Tier  compare to quality of home based Brazilians. Kaka was the last super star  after  3 R who
Dominated  Europe. Although he is recovered under Mourinho  very well, It is  day dream  to get
back old Kaka. Robinho also could not match his exceptional  potential.   While I am looking at the

user comments  of goal.com, It is clearly witnessed about old hangover.  Even  50% people don’t know
there are so many fantastic players  are playing back home. Neymar and Ganso both are fantastic talent,
But my favorite is  Lucas Moura who is delightful  to watch for  sao Paulo.  Dede of Vasco da Gama, Oscar, Leandro Damio of  International  , Philippe coutinho  Espanyol are exceptional  talent. Though

Pato, Coutinho are in Europe,  Others are not exposed  in front of the world  due to
Brazilian  Seri A.

But  one thing   I have to  say. Due to Media spot  light Club football is having edge now. But

There is nothing bigger than World Cup Still now..

All Time Best 11















This is a quite interesting topic across the globe for any sports to make an all time best 11 for any team game.For Soccer I am sure each and every pundit has created their best 11. Fact is that when they are creating they themselves know this 11 can't be the best one. We are living in the era of Virtual world. Due to the blessings of software or game writers our Imaginations are getting more and more real. Due to development of Technology the fine line of reality and Imaginations are become merged. Football is the game which is become a religion to the people across the globe. I don't think any other game has such global appeal which soccer does have. Because of the soccer , People of the interior part of Asia, Africa are spending sleepless night and cheering up for the different continent countries like Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.

So being a Soccer Fan I am trying to design an all time best 11. But fact is that It is almost impossible to distinguish between greatness of the players of two or three different era. If you ask me my opinion I will find 6/7 greats are in one position. But Football is the game of 11 players. So How?

I have divided my observation in two parts. 1) The Greats whom I have seen on operation full 90 minutes and 2) The greats whom I have read about maximum watched video Clip. I have exceptional respect for those pundits and reporters who had created an Inter Era Highway by using the tools like write up and Video clips.

with out going More details I am presenting my best 11

Goal Keeper:

DINO ZOFF:

Lev Yashin, Gordon Banks, Sepp Maier these names are very dependable in Goal keeping hostory. To be very honest It 's very difficult for any expert to skip these names. My problem is that I have heard legend of Yashin even able to see Video clip of the excellent save of Gordon Banks against Pele.But Dino Zoff is the name whom I hated most. I had witnessed him on 1982 world cup. Paolo Rossi might be the hero of 1982 especially the historic win (3-2) against one of the finest Brazilian teams in the history but 40 years Captain of Italy brought his performance in different height on this particular day. He was continuing his same form and had Played like a wall on 1982 world cup. Dino Zoff was actually responsible to break the heart of Brazilian Fans of 1982 and that's why being a 3rd standard school boy I had hated this person very much but I still can't come out of the keeping of this great man. Oliver Kahn is also one of my favorites. But My Vote will be always for great Dino Zoff.


FULL BACK (RIGHT):

CAFU:

Modern Day role of full back are not defending only . very often they can be seen more on overlapping .Actually Brazil has been producing great full backs since 50s and I am pretty much sure Cafu is the best man in this right back business.

CENTRAL DEFENDERS


FRANZ BECKENBAUER:

First of all I was little bit confused about his role . what will be the role of him in team? Defender or Sweeper or Holding Midfielder? One of the complete footballers in history. Without Kaiser no best 11 is complete.


PAOLO MALDINI:

Again I have confusion about the position . Maldini had the ability to play both Left and Central. But Maldini is always my first choice


FULL BACK (LEFT):

NILTON SANTOS:

To be very frank my first choice was Cafu's Long time Partner Roberto Carlos . Later i think about Junior . But As much as I read about Nilton Santos, I understand how much contribution he did have for the Brazilian football as well as World Soccer. Actually He was pioneering left back being one of first full backs to participate in the offensive game. Actually Nilton Santos is the Trend setter of the modern day full back.


MID FIELD:
I am sorry to say I don't keep any holding Mid Fielders In Team-


FERENC PUSKAS:

First of all I am neither soccer expert nor a sports reporter . Just I am a normal Viewer. If we are going to speak about technicality Galloping Major of the football never comes in best 11. Because his position (inside left in) is already in museum. But Can we able to deny his contribution in world football. Actually Mighty Magayars has changed the definition of the game. I don't think No other teams in the world dominated such a long time. Though I did not see him, he is one of the champions and always will be.


JOHAN CRUEF:

Another trend setter in the world football who were leading from front. At least I don't have audacity to leave Cruef from the 11.


MARADONA:
No adjective is enough to Justify Maradona's Position


DIEGO FORLAN:

Many will raise their Eyebrow. Zinadine Zindane, Eusebio, Messi or any of them can claim this place. But To me Forlan is one of the most complete Player. He was simply outstanding in last world cup because of his long range set piece, speed, Versatility . Over all Forlan is a complete package. Most Important he leads to re establish old glory of Uruguay.

PELE:

As Maradona there is nothing to describe about Messenger of football religion.


RONALDO:

Undoubtedly the best Striker of the history. Truly Phenomenon. Fact is that Ronaldo the phenomenon is the Role model of any young footballers in the globe.


I know my this list is not perfect. I remember There was the roster of Europe Vs rest of the world or South America Vs rest of the world after 1982 and 1986 world cup. But Due to Modern days Club football whole soccer world is become one world.

THE FINAL DESTINATION




Renowned Bengali Film Maker Satyajit Ray got recognition, name and fame
From his first poetic celluloid master piece Pother pachaliI.
Frankly speaking I don’t understand the word of film critics. But I was only a
High school student while Mr. Ray got his life time achievement of Oscar award.
The name Sattajit Ray and discussion about his movie became status symbol to
Bengali Media. We did not have powerful diaspora that time, but we were very proud to discuss about

Pothrer Pachali, Jalsa ghar and all extremely critically acclaimed movies .
The technicality and concepts were really out of our reach to understand. But I
Am surprised to see no critics or pundits were speaking about his another master
Piece Hirak Rajar Deshe . But surprisingly so far Hirak Rajar deshe is the most

Popular creation of Mr. Ray . It is become the master piece of the political Satire
Concept. Actually Total political process of Bangladesh become now tools of
experiment of some unconstitutional opportunists. They are known as
Civil society. Every alternative day we are hearing about frustration about both political parties. From dawn to dust media does have one effort to prove
How bad electoral process is . How inefficient political leaders are ! How corrupt
They are but while one Nobel laureate does not care about retirement policy and
Creating efficient successor, this whole civil society has a common chorus,”
He has made Bangladesh proud . So he is above law .” Only God knows when the Editors of Leading National Daily Prothom-Alo will know about his
Age of creative retirement “.

Basically the biggest tragedy of the country like Bangladesh is the sufferings of monopolistic attitude of a particular class. Politics is the most profitable industry in country like Bangladesh. But To invest in this industry Dan Brown’s Fake meteorite kind of plot is always needed to
make people fool. It seems all nonpolitical people are become politically most correct in this country. I have heard so much about checks and balance, decentralization of power, Institutional reform. But Theory
Of those social and political parameters are always changed by the contractors
Of civil society. Because what ever happened Monopoly has to be secured.

Party like Awami league which has the biggest mass support is always the biggest
Obstacle for this monopoly. Equally the contractors of monopoly always find difficulties to destroy the organization which is built on the support of mass
People. So what will be the alternative solution? Take control of the party. Inject more liquidity in the party . Just kick out all veteran leaders who
Had extremely bright political back ground and simply destroy even next generation Political leadership.

So called Civil society is always there to play neutral game to make all negative nonpolitical parameters positive in front of public eyes. It is really sad to see extremely right
Wing guy Golam Moula Rony is in AL.
Does Our Prime minister able to realize her control in the party and ideology is getting diminish? Does she realize same contractors of the monopoly is playing
With the party image from inside the party? By playing in the stock market, they make their profit maximized but all small investors are coming into the road.
Is AL getting benefit to follow the Army backed care taker Government ‘s Telecommunication policy to issue some expensive license and creating the monopoly for some vested interest group?
What’s the benefit, AL getting to support the atrocity and brutality of Rab against a young boy Limon? In every institutions some Army Generals or Brigadiers
are seating as head (BTRC, Election Commission). Is Al not making political suicide to support all these extra judicial activities of all those army, generals?
Our current PM should not forget that she was the victim of those extra judicial
actions of 1/11 cronies.

I am surprised to see ex finance minister AMS KIBRIA family is still not getting justice . This respected politician has given his life for this party and contributed in 1971 . But
Can’t his family accept minimum support and initiative from the own party to ensure justice?
The full blue print was designed before 2001 election from
Mentors of these social contractors. Next 5 years were the extreme monopolistic display of Tarek Rahman and Co. He was single- handedly responsible to destroy the image of whole politicians of Bangladesh.

Gradually 1/11 blue print executed . Common people did not have confidence on the neutral and balance theory of monopolistic contractors and civil society. Biggest success of these contractors
are to create distance between senior political leaders of Al and Sheikh Hasina.

it is very easy to

Prove in public that these political parties are use less through an useless cabinet.

These all are plotted to create a gateway to power for this unelected regime .

This is the wake up call for Awami league. If this Government is failed we may
be in a political black hole . We may need another 20 years to come out of this
Paranoid.

Uruguay The Aniciant Land Lord of The World Football


It was 1924 Olympic. A Team from South America went to compete in the Olympic Games. In contrast to the physical style of the European teams of the era, They played a style based around short passes and won every game, defeating Switzerland 3-0 in the gold medal match. In the 1928 Summer Olympics same team went to Amsterdam to defend their title, again winning the gold medal after defeating Argentina 2-1 in the final. The name of this team is Uruguay , The first giant of Latin America. Gradually The most popular tournament of the world was born in this country on 1930. Again One of the smallest populated countries in the world kept their place permanently in the Hall of fame . They were the first world champion, Undisputed Land lord of The world football. After that on 1950 They got again the crown of world football. None can take away from them the right of their great football history . But After that
They found themselves in big downfall. Growth rate of two Prolific neighbors Brazil and Argentina is increasing leaps and bound. Other Nations like Paraguay, Colombia and Chili also felt their presence in world football.But It seems Oldest landlord Uruguay went to the deep sleep and some times woke up occasionally as tourist in the world cup. After 1970 success is become out of sight to them. But while they have qualified in the world cup people start to dream again. There were also reasons because of some great names like Enzo Francescoli, Ruben Sosa, Álvaro Recoba.
But These all are spark of the moments. People are desperately looking some thing from them because of their past.
Again another biggest sporting extravaganza of 2010 is just few hours away from us. Uruguay will face France in few hours with some generation next super footballers like Diego Forlan , Luis Suarez , Nicolas Lodeiro. Veteran Oscar Washington Tabarez has prepared the team who is known as Professor of World Football.Best part is that Uruguay went back to their root of 1924 from where they started. They have understood now , the attacking genre which they have
introduced to world football should be the mantra of their football.
I am optimistic about La celeste this time.

Mr Shahrukh Khan You have simply made Mockery of Cricketing Spirit


Dear Shahrukh,

First of all this team KKR belongs to you and you do have always this medieval landlord attitude
( Reference : your reply to Mr Gavaskar " This team is mine"), I am afraid how sportingly you will take my comment.

So please pardon me Sir , If I bring you wrong side of the cricket.

1) what is this Multiple captain theory? Is it not the mockery of both John and you to the cricket?
2) You have mentioned from the cricketing point of view , You guys have changed the captaincy of KKR but
what is this cricketing point? Can you enlighten us
3) what is the cricketing point of view to include Moises Henriques in First two matches? Or is it John's commitment to his country? So I understand to spent usd 600k for Mashrafe is your another stunt?
4) On which cricketing point of view You have dropped Ajantha Mendis who is a Mystery spinner Even Fab 4 of Indian cricket (Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid and Tendulkar) who are known as best players of the spin bowling
Had difficulty to read Mendis. At least Shane Warne’s opinion about Mr John Marshall Buchanan is very much Justified that Australia had outstanding players so Buchanan was
Maximum a Coordinator.

5) can you please Justify the Vice Captaincy of Brad Hodge ? why did n’t John keep pressure on
Australian team to take him on team ? what a Joke! he is become vice captain. He should not come to the best 11 even

Sorry Mr Khan This is not Cricket. It is Just a big time mockery to this great sports on the leader ship of Lalit Modi.

Bangladesh Election &Bankrupt Elite Class



"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep
;”

What can I say more than that? Far from my mother land I try to type some words on my note book. Recently I was monitoring some talk shows on the forth coming election in Bangladesh on a few Bangladeshi channels and noted some anomalies. The roll of media in Bangladesh seems a bit funny to me.

One of them is Channel I which airs a popular Talk Show called Tritio Matra. The host Zillur Rahman is a renowned Dhaka elite. Bangladeshi elites (Shusheel Samaj) are the 8th wonders of the world. Now who are these elites?

During the liberation war (1971) there were some notable intellectuals in Bangladesh, who augmented the cause of Bangladesh and some of them were able to escaped the wrath of the Pakistani and collaborator forces. They had representations in every part of the society and were very much near and dear to the people. Some of them explicitly dedicated their life for country. Their successors and the contemporary intellectuals had a dream for a secular and progressive Bangladesh. I can mention few names such as Kabir Chowdhury, Hassan Imam, Dr Nilima Ibrahim, Samsur Rahman, Begam Sufiya Kamal, Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury and the list goes on. They fought for their Principle and rights without any compromise all through their lives. But they were countered by the reactionary forces and very often they were labeled as “Awami Intellects”.

In course of time a few of them already reached the end of their lives and the nation lost some valuable assets. Some of them like Humayun Azad was the target of fanatics because they had progressive thoughts. I am sorry to say we have not got eligible successors of them, probably they retracted out of fear. Instead, we got some compromising, power monger, rootless and people of double standard, who are now known as the elite class of Bangladesh. You will see their re presentation in almost every forum now.

A chunk of editors, retired army officers, barristers, business men, some rootless politicians, media celebrities have formed a big syndicate. Over the top they are getting support of a portion of Non resident Bangladeshi who have the fatal attraction for a non elected regime and backing of some ambassadors of some influential countries.

Coming Back to Zillur Rahman’s popular Talk show, suddenly I have found some funny kind of characters are appearing at his program. One so called businessman from Qatar, who tried to get nomination from one political party but failed, simply was slumming politicians indiscriminately and have made funny comments about the father of the nation on a free style manner. Zillur was also
fueling on the fire.

Our elites are very often teaching us lesson of democracy. Some times they forget that “the people of the country know their need more than the elites”.

In the last few days there were much brouhaha about Arafat Rahman's scandal in a Singapore Bank, which was exposed by the Anti Corruption Commission in Bangladesh. This news is making big head lines in the newspapers.

My question to the Anti Corruption Authority is, “why they chose this particular time before the election for this investigation? Were they sleeping the last two years?”

The Bangladesh media is a champion to show their allegiance to the party in power. They can also predict which party can come to power and try to show their faithfulness by going some extra miles. Some Journalists have already started to cash on Arafat issue to be near to Awami League even by resorting to some false reporting.

Over the top the High Court is giving verdict against the Election commission (EC) to include detained leaders in the polls. Now the election commissioner was seen showing emotional reactions to the media on these decisions of high court. In fact he had found ways to voice his frustrations without showing contempt to court.


But our so called Elites are silent on these issues. I don’t know if I ever will see a sane political process in Bangladesh but for now most of the so called Bangladesh elites seem to have a moral bankruptcy.

IS IT THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF BAGGY GREEN ERA?



It was 1987 world cup. India and Pakistan hosted Reliance cup. West Indies was the one and only super power of world cricket. But there was tough competitions among all
Those test playing nations. But Australia was facing lean period before 87 world cup.
Two Men Bobby Simpson and Allan Border took the responsibility to groom up
The team. Basically After retirement of some very big names Australia did have a big problem. But Border –Simpson duo along with Cricket Australia able to build up
Infrastructure. 87 world cup was turning point. They started with Boon, Marsh, Dean Jones, Steve and Mark Waugh, Craig Mcdermott, Bruce Reid and on continuation we have got so many greats like Adam Gilchrist , Ricky Ponting, Mark Tailor, Shane Warne, Glenn Mcgrath list is unlimited.

But Still I will never say this Australian team is better than West Indies of 80s. They have taken cricket to a great heights. On the course of time Cricket has entered to the
Corporate world. Excessive commercialization of the game has effected the team badly.
Every time this game has to go under the table of Surgeon which is called ICC.
Basically Bowlers won matches. But they are scrutinized maximum time directly or indirectly. In Test matches ICC put limitations on bouncers. All wkts are batting friendly in any part of the world. Even surprisingly Sabina park one of the fastest wkts of world cricket hardly have any Grass. Durban, Waca ground , Oval are also changing
Their characters. In last decade Australian Attack was lead by Shane Warne and Glenn Mcgrath who was not as express bowler as his long term partner Jason Gillespie and Brett lee. Basically over all standard of Cricket is downwards with out any doubt.

Australia was enjoying the service of their golden generation. But right now the phase of transformation is coming up. To be vey Honest I don’t see better successors of Ricky Ponting , Adam Gilchrist , Mathew Haden, Shane Warne or Glen Mcgrath in current Aussies Squad. Those gentlemen were successfully raised the bottom even in better way
Than their Seniors.

Basically South Africa, India, England and Srilanka have every possibility to lead in next decade of world cricket.

Cricket is the game of great uncertainty. May be I am wrong but Still now I am not hearing any sound of the step of any Dale Steyn, Ishanth Sharma, Ajantha Mendis or Kevin Peterson , MS Dhoni in Australian Cricket who are the generation next cricketer.
We don’t hear Callipso music any more . May be Baggy green has complete its one great journey. May be New generation of Cricket started its Journey to infinitive with Some
One like Ajantha Mendis .

A Farewell to Brilliant Student of World Cricket



It was the Year of 1990.. This was the year of My Matriculation. During these Days
Vinod Kambli was a very promising name in first class level. There was a tournament
In Sharjah Called Australasia Cup. Indian Team was on leader ship of Md Azhar Uddin. One name did come to my notice. It was Anil Kumble. I remember Daily
Songbad was the most popular news paper in Bangladesh. They have also made the
Mistake by mixing up the sir name of Kambli. But after end of the carrier where
Is kambli today? But the unsung hero of Indian cricket Anil Kumble has decided
To hang up the boot. He has truly established himself as the Legend.
One era of the world cricket is finished after retirement of Anil.

I am great fan of fab four. But if I am true fan of Indian Cricketer, It is Anil Kumble. From

The very early stage of his carrier his critics accused him not to spin the ball that much

But None can deny besides his legendary counter part contemporary cricketer Shane Warne he has not only brought back the art of leg spin in world cricket but also established spin bowling in the highest honor.

If Early 80s was the era of Fearsome pace bowling 90s was completely dedicated

Spin bowling . World Cricket has got some great spin artists in both form of Finger and
Wrist Spin. Highest wicket Takers Muthiah Muralidharan, saqlain Mushtaq, Harbhajan Sing , Stuart Mc Gil. All have made their marks in world cricket. But keeping Ajhanta
Mendis in mind, there will be great vacuum in world cricket.

I have lots of beautiful memories with Anil Kumble as a viewers. His 6/12 In Hero Cup, His all 10 Wkts.

Basically from my Child hood I have heard about Jim Laker’s 10/53. But It was
My best of luck that I was the big witness of Kumble’s 10 of Kotla.

Being a Mechanical engineer he is a very well mannered and humble person . As a Captain he has done the great Job. His act as a leader in Sydney after this controversial
Match was fantastic. I think Perth win was the greatest of all time Indian Victory.

In last some days Indian Media Could not show proper respect to Kumbley.

But Great Warrior like Kumble knows how to stop. May be he will go and open a new innings for the Cricket.

Now a days over all charm of the Cricket is downward. Lots of unwanted people Like Lalit Modi and all are continuously spoiling the cricket environment via 20-20 hype.

Way things are going on I am really scared we are going to loose the brightest students

Of Cricket.

Kumble was one of the last representatives of those brightest students of world cricket
In this Corporate aggression.

But Kumble will be missed off and on by the true cricket lovers.

Fabulous Four, the Eternal Virtual Artists of the World Cricket

Current India –Australia test series creates huge interest on world of Cricket. To Me
I am always waiting for the best cricket. Basically I personally have lots of debt to
The Great Artists of world football and Cricket.

Indian Cricket has reached in great height after 2000 . It was Just possible for the
Four eternal artists of Indian Cricket. Yes They have already got the Tag of fabulous
Four. They are none other than Sachin Tendulkar, Rahhul Dravid , Sourav Ganguly
And VVS Laxman.

This is the era of the open market. Every thing is a product in here. Basically 20-20
Cricket is a new format for the entertainment of the cricket. Those of us who were following the cricket even after birth have some compatibility issue with such form of game.

Basically Major problem of any game is," if you want to change the full structure of the game for the corporate interest , You need to do lots of sacrifice with the quality of this

game". In such kind of game Bowlers are effected very badly. Batsman can’t stick to their

basic and technique. In fact Major problem is that 20-20 type of tournament never gave

a cricketer to groom up properly. But way things are going on I don’t have idea where

these things will be end. Media is so much powerful medium that they can make any average product to super class Via endorsement.

Current Indian Cricket is the biggest example of this. Basically Lalit Modi has already
Got the touch stone on the form of IPL. They have already declared it as the model
Of English Premier league. But Fact is that English Premier league or Serie A never
Become competitor of the National team and Class Players. Club football has lots
Of contribution for the development of the game of soccer. But major problem is that Cricket
is not a global game. It is almost impossible to make it globalized as football.

It is great that such a regional game has taken significant position in Word sports.

This Game has great Classic materials and If we compromise with this classic materials,
The game will loose its originality.
You can’t replace basic of any thing Via hype . It is not called reformed. Six a side cricket

Was implemented but it did not get success. Major problem is that in such kind of
System we are going to sacrifice the class players of the world cricket.

First test of India –Australia is the biggest example of it. After IPl I have watched a number of Novice and Cricket Illiterate people are going to take part in sports media.
One of the biggest example is Manish Vallicha of Neo Sports. His back ground is that
He was a Radio Jockey. But This Guy suddenly starts to take part in Cricket Hosting
Seriously. So Basic difference is coming up while Harsha Bhogley, Charu Sharma and
Even RK of Neo sports are conducting any cricket discussion.

Now a days Media needs people like Manish Vallicha or Mandira Bedi to promote the
game to another audience who have very much less interest about cricket. But over all
standard is getting not only down big time but also effecting the cricketers again.

Basically After winning of 20-20 world Cup India did have a very big Hype about
Indian current Captain MS Dhoni. I have great respect for Dhoni as a bold cricketer
And performer. But he is not at all fit as the status of Fab 4 and all.
Here is the problem. After success of 20-20 Lots of New Channels are coming with out

Proper experience.
In that Case they will promote more about the heir style of Dhoni and present him as the
Bigger even than Brad Man.

Basically , this Bangalore test is eye opener for all Boards, Cricket lovers and Cricketers.
Way Great Anil Kumbley and Fab 4 were going through pressure was unthinkable,

But end of their Cricketing Carriers way Tendulkar and Laxman Batted in a low bouncy and super slow wkt will be the big lesson for the promising Cricketers.

I am proud to say that I am almost the same age of the great Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman and Ganguly. I think In last one decade we have seen the Monopolistic aggression of Aussies in world cricket. But these were the display of power play.

But these Four Eternal Visual Artists will be immortal in world cricket for their Class with aggression. May be They were the Last saviors of the test Cricket.

World Cricket will be great full to India to present such artists in world Cricket. But
Same BCCI will be the Court of the True Cricket lovers to destroy the spirit of the game.

The Last Action Hero




Sourav Ganguly has given an interview to the Kokata Daily Anandabazar & Aaj kaal after his retirement. It is clearly indicating that in our subcontinent how badly a sportsman
Is treated at end of his carrier. Basically what I have told my on my previous notes

That our sub continent makes any one hero for the success and even does not take single

time to ditch any one. This is because of the lack of sports culture.
Sourav Ganguly is undoubtedly most successful captain of India

and one of the best batsmen of cricket history. Here is the translation of some important

part of his interview-



Q: Why do you suddenly give this declaration?

Ans: I have taken the decision earlier. Just wanted to escape burden on the eve of the series.

Q: Is it not difficult for you to be out of Cricket while you are the guy who can do shadow
At 2 Am?

Ans: I am also surprised that I have made this declaration. But trust me I am not feeling that bad

Q: Since when have you been thinking for retirement?

Ans: Actually while I was out from Irani Trophy, I had made my mind almost. It was a night mare . I could not sleep at night. It was very tough for me to stay at home and decided not to give up. I did not expect to get call for Australia series
but I was hopeful because of new Selection committee . So As I have got the chance,
simply don’t want to give chance any one.


Q: who are they?

Ans: I don’t want to tell any one’s name. But tell me one thing, “why should I be in trial in every time? “You media people told After come back I was the most successful . then why should I be thrown just for one bad series? How long I will fight? If we make
Too much pump on a bladder, it will be burst automatically .

Q: There is the speculation for the VRS of the seniors. Are you the starting point?

Ans: I don’t know who has spread this. Is it possible to tell some one after particular day you won’t play. Should you tell sachin, Rahul and Laxman?All of them are performing
for 12 years. when they will feel for the call off , they leave themselves.About myself I have understood I will be always on Gun point and I will be scrutinized for
any reason. You can’t play like that. So It is better to quit . Cricket may not
Be in life but life will be there.

Q: Gavaskar told , “ You and Laxman are always on Gun point.”

Ans: Every thing is possible in Indian Cricket . while Greg ( chapel) made me out of team, they took T P Sing instead of me. But where is he now?
Some one has not made run in last three series. One cricketer has not got run even in one year. Some one has changed his hair style more than score. That’s why I asked Chika
(Srikanth) to let me play in peace and he has agreed.


Q: what is your greatest achievement in your whole cricketing life?

Ans: 99% people will tell about the success of my captaincy. But I want to tell about our team. Sachin, Rahul, Laxman, Kumbley and me have changed the face of Indian cricket
Together. When India had traveled to the overseas , every body was sure about our defeat. But Scenario is changed after 2000. You can’t alone make a team . It is the
Result of united effort.
So my team was the actual captain. So before my departure I wan to tell my team mates
“ Thank you Mates.”



This is how a sportsman is treated in this subcontinent. Honestly speaking I was watching Indian cricket for the Fab four. I can pay any amount to see the batting
Of VVS Laxman.

It is sad that a bunch of criminals are seating in BCCI . Board president Shashank Manohar is accused for multiple reason in here

“To know Shashank Manohar better, one has to go back to 26th November 1995. It was an ODI played between India and New Zealand when the VCA stadium wall collapsed, killing 13 people and injuring over 70. And who were responsible? Shashank Manohar himself, along with his father V.R. Manohar, the bosses of the VCA stadium - allegely these guys had contracted a close relative of theirs for the construction of the wall. It isn't a surprise that a man responsible for cricket's biggest onfield tragedy is the vice-president of the board.”

Current Secretary N Srinivasan is another controversial character “ Being a Secretary
Of the board this guy still owning IPL Franchise Chennai Super king which is one of the biggest conflict of interest. Funniest thing they are accusing Mr Dalmiya for the corruption but this guy was the treasurer.

I don’t want to sepak about lalit Modi any more. He can do or undo any thing for IPL and money.

Even Senior person Like IS Bindra also told “ Betting should be legalized In Cricket.”
I don’t know if Indian Govt will declare any VRS for those joker officials or not

Basically 20-20 has already started to bleed the cricket badly.

To day Bangladesh Media is going after our 14 cricketers for joining ICL. BCCB blindly
Banned them for 10 years. I have seen support of some suhil friends of mine.

They are not stopped even to spread venom about the personal life of cricketers.

But have ever thought that what the security these cricketers do have.

One of the most successful Batsmen of Pakistan history Inzamam-ul –Haq was

Shown door by the Pakistan cricket control board. But Inzi has done lot for Pakistan cricket.

So I am happy for Alok and Aftab to secure their life in ICCL.

BEGINNING OF THE END OF FABOULOUS FOUR



I like to go back to the late 80s of Dhaka. There was a 4 nation under 19 tournament . India was the champion of this tournament. In fact
This Indian team was the future India team. Ajoy Jadeja, Vinod kambly, Ranjiv Bishwal,
Late Dhruv Pandab, Bhupinder Sing, Jateen ParanJapey and another name was Sourav Ganguly. In fact It was my teen age days and I was very excited to see those teen agers.

But this name Sourav Ganguly gave me huge attention. During those days west Bengal media

Was so much vocal about injustice to Bengal from BCCI. This old record was very common. But it is not always Bengal Media was right. They were very much vocal about
Arun lal. But It was known fact there was no such quality player who could match the Indian team. So name Sourav Ganguly kept my interest high.

Then success of debut series against England of him and Rahul Dravid are history. Sachin Tendulkar established himself then as the star of Indian cricket. Then here came
South Africa Series India had witnessed of VVS Laxman.
With out a doubt this middle order ( Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly and Laxman) is
One of the best middle orders of the history of the World cricket. It is the best luck of India
That they have got such super class Batsman at a time.

But again problem of Indian cricket is of the whole subcontinent not to adopt proper
Sports culture. Virendra Sehwag has been groomed him self nicely under Fab four. Test

Cricket is a complete different ball game. Sehwag is extremely success full because he went to bat with out pressure while Yuvraj Sing could
Not capitalize his extreme talent in test cricket.

India is now in a transition period as the Australia of late 80s while a number of cricketing greats had retired . Australian cricket was rebuild centralizing Allen Border.
But Indian cricket is different now . Border got people like Dean Jones, Geoff Marsh,David Boon, Mark Tailor , Waugh brothers . Then they don’t need to look behind.

Sourav Ganguly did same thing for India while India was sank in betting controversy.

People like Virendra Sehwag, Yuvraj Sing, Mohd Kaif, Zaheer Khan, Asish Nehra, Harbajan Sing , Irfan
Pathan were discovery of Sourav . But fact was that there was also visionary like Jagmohan Dalmiya from whom he had got full support.

Now Post Fab four and Anil Kumbley era I am not very much optimistic about Indian Cricket.

MS Dhoni , Yuvraj Sing are purely adopted by 20-20 culture. This Current Indian team has not been tested in green top surface in overseas while Fab four was the most successful
In South Africa, Australia and England.

Now the actual testing period of Indian cricket starts

ICL , BANGLADESH AND WHAT'S NEXT?





It is Lazy Sunday. As usual I had an eye on Daily Prothom- Alo. Normally I only read the sports news. In last some days I lost interest of the Political Circus of Bangladesh.,

But one Head line of respected UtpolShuvro was just like the bolt from the blue to me.

14 Bangladesh Cricketers are joining ICL including ex captain Habibul Bashar, Two

Star Batsman Alok Kapali , Aftab Ahmed and ex vice captain Shahriar Nafees .

My reaction was mixed . ICL as known as rebel league of Indian Cricket.

BCCI is become the USA of world cricket. Mr Sharad Pawer can be called the George Bush and David Morgan is just the Ban –Ki –Moon of world cricket.

So every fair and unfair did of Hyena Lalit Modis are authorized by ICC.

Those who are attached with ICL, International cricket is become the forbidden kingdom for them though Cricketing greats Kapil Dev or Tony Greg are leading

In fact IPL is inspired by ICL but still ICC does not recognize ICL. Cricketing world has taken this news as hot cake.

If Bangladesh loose Class Cricketers like Aftab and Alok , We need long time to fill up their gap.

But I mentioned my reaction is mixed but I am happy for the Cricketers. If Aftab or Kapali makes $200,000 per season. At least they will get proper respect , exposes and

Value. What did these boys get by playing for national team? Yes National Blazer , Stardom and equally mental stress. I am sorry for my National team and equally sorry

For this game of Cricket. This great game is become most popular in a region where there is no sports culture. This game is become monopoly of some Mafia people. Team like Bangladesh is suffering for that. If we can manage to develop proper sports culture,

We may not see these days. We must be apologized to Sir WG Grace for killing the right spirit of Cricket. Srilankan board is also rescheduling their England tour just because of IPL.

I am a die heart fan of Fabulous Four of Indian Cricket. May be they are the last representative of actual cricket.

Now Bangladesh team should take the right step . They should not bow down to any un ethical decisions. They should see the interest of the players and equally for the future of

Bangladesh cricket.

RIGHT SPIRIT OF THE GAME&A TALE OF TWO MASTER SPINNERS AND FABULOUS FOUR


Image Source: The Hindu
Adam Gilchrist and Sourav Ganguly have expressed their desire
Of the inclusion of 20-20 format of the cricket in the Olympic. I know one day
This format will be more popular. But I don’t know this Craze of Globalization will write the grand finale of this game or not on the base of
Whims .
Media claims that Cricket is religion in sub continent. But is it the
Religion or Just status symbol of some Media and Upper Class or
Just become a Business?
Some times I ask myself that question while I am watching people Like Lalit Modis are taking
Highest chair.
Can we compare the Cricket of subcontinent to the Soccer of Brazil where they
Treat Soccer as religion?
Absolutely not. "Joga Bonita" is a genre which is attracted to people from age after age.
Sports are the biggest means of entertainment .
If we notice cautiously we will see Cricket is Popular in this region but from
1975-2007 We will notice Cup went 6 times to Non Asian countries. Asian
Countries won only three times. Even If we watch the Test records we will see
Domination of Australia, South Africa, West Indies and England in Cyclic order.
Then why is Cricket so popular? Just because we have got some Exceptional Stars
In this game . Sunil Gavaskar, Imran Khan, Kapil Dev and Javed Miandad have given us first the taste of super stardom. After that we are getting some
Mega stars on the form of Sachin Teldulkar, Washim Akram and Muttiah Muralitharan . List is endless But Sub continental cricket boards owes lots to
Their national Heroes. But Unfortunately because of one or two bad patch the behaviour they have got from their Countrymen is unthinkable.
I am grateful to SriLanka that they have given actual level playing field and professionalism to the Sub continent.
Previously Cricket means India- Pakistan to the people of this region.
Instead of right spirit of the game, media of these two countries made real mess of
The cricket. But end of the day sufferer was the Great Cricketers.
India – Sri Lanka test series are the biggest example of it. I personally rated this series
Is one of the best I have ever seen? Way Two Master Spinners Murali Dharan & Ajantha Mendis
Were Bowling against
One of the most brilliant batting line up of all time was splendid. Murali was always
Great but Mendis I have no word for him. What a discovery! He can ball leg Spin,
Off spin, Google, Doosra, Leg Cutter, Off Cutter, Flipper, and Arm Ball. Over the top
his own Invention of Carrom Ball. I don’t think Cricketing world watched such an Unconventional bowler with Variation before.
But I am equally feeling very bad that while Indian Media and some people spoke
Worst about the fabulous Four ( Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman ) and great Anil Kumbley.
According to me India will need another 30 years to get the class of these Fantastic
Four. Obviously they can be compared with only the Three WS of West Indies.
I will again go back to my old point. If Cricket is popular just because of those stars
Who have dedicated whole of their life for this great game.
So Before their Departure at least they should get proper respect. So Future Star Ajantha Mendis does not need to search a time machine to see what will happened after
15 years to fag end of his Illustrious Carrier.

Sunday, July 27, 2008

Welcome Ajantha Mendis

I will start my write Up with some points-

1)Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and Vvs Laxman are known as fantastic four on Indian Cricket. All together They have made 30,000 + run in Test cricket.

2) Indian Batsmen are simply masters against spin bowling . I can give Instance

of two Occasions.

Shane Warne is undoubtedly the all time best spinner In the world. But Indian Batsmen were always a big mystery to him. After getting testing time from even

Indian Tale ender, he made comments that

“ The Indians play spin even in sleeping.”

Pakistani great Abdul kadir told his experience of one India-Pakistan series against

Gavaskar and VengSarkar. While he tried to do his major weapon Google , even

From Non Striking end both Gavaskar an vengsarkar were shouting “ GOOGLE.”

He was frustrated. So The biggest test of a spinner to play against Indian Batsman.

We know Murali very well. But I am spell bound to See Ajanta Mendis. Srilanka

Is champion to provide natural unconventional talent. Sanath Jayasuriya , Muthiah MuraliDharan, Lasith Malinga have already proved and now new addition is Ajantha Mendis.

He is a new discovery of world cricket. Now, we are starting to forget essence of Test cricket.

Now this game is become the business of the Lalit Modis. But Natural Talent like Mendis is Fresh Air in world Cricket.

He is an off spinner . But he can equally give Google and Doosra . Most important is

His bowling grip and he hold it like Carom. So his carom grip is getting popular.

Even four greats of India can’t read him.

We have great expectation from this wonderful discovery of the world cricket.

"WEL COME AJANTHA MENDIS."

USA-INDIA NEUCLIAR AGREEMENT AND GOOD BYE MR NEHRU


I wish I would have a time machine and I want to go back on 1960 .My destination is Newyork of 1960 .I like to ask pandit Nehru , " Does he have enough

cougrage to see current India?." I am sure next genaration of India

won't remember,

'Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Sukarno of Indonesia and Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia

Have founded an international organization called The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) an of states considering themselves not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. It was founded in April 1955". The purpose of the organization as stated in the Havana Declaration of 1979 is to ensure "the national independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of non-aligned countries" in their "struggle against imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism, racism, Zionism, and all forms of foreign aggression, occupation, domination, interference or hegemony as well as against great power and bloc politics. Now all those words look like a fantacy.

It is 2008. Equlibrium of the power is effected lots after cold war. No countries are divided any more in NATO or the Warsaw Pact.

United States of America is become not only the Super power but also become the

Capcital of defense and Economy.

I wish I would bring Mr Nehru to 2008. He even could see,' how his own party is desperate to execute the Nuclear deal". Now India is become strategic partner of the USA. Indian left force has already withdrawn the support from UPA Government. CPM GS Mr Prakash Karat has already taken a strong stand against the Govt . Rediff has already given some back ground in here

The Left-UPA divorce on Tuesday capped a tumultous relationship on several thorny issues -- ranging from the Indo-US nuclear deal to the rising prices of essential commodities and the government's inclination to open up financial and retail sectors to foreign direct investment.

After agreeing with the UPA's Common Minimum Programme and extending their support to the Congress-led coalition when it came to power, the Left continued to maintain that the government should not deviate from it.

The trouble became pronounced when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made his first official visit to the United States in July 2005 and signed a joint statement with President George W Bush, which the Left said was taking India closer to the American strategic interests.

Singh's visit had followed that of then Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee who had signed the Indo-US Strategic Defence Framework Agreement, which led to increasing military ties and joint exercises between the two defence forces.

The Left, which had been opposing the government's "neo-liberal" economic policies, opened another front against its foreign policy while accusing it of ignoring the CMP.

In the context of the rising inflation graph, the outside supporters made a series of recommendations, including banning of futures trading and slashing of taxes and duties on oil products, but complained that their views were not considered by the government.


Now what is so special about this agreement-

Hindustan Times has some interesting Notes in here.

Indian Ex President Dr Abul kalam Azad is taking key roll to execute this deal.

After shocking death of brilliant Rajiv Gandhi the whole political scenario of sub continent has changed. This agreement will give free passage of USA to sub continent.

At last I want to say Good Bye Pandit Nehru. India is changed now. India will

Follow the policy of a Chief executive officer of New East India Company. Now a

Days Robert clive is become old fashion. This is the era of Multi nationals. Dr Monmohan Sing is a Successful CEO of new East India Company .

Poor display of Bangladesh and Future









Bangladesh cricket is again passing testing time. We have finished our run in recent Asia Cup. We know all sorts of scrutinise and Investigation will be made . Too many

Scholars will give several opinions but result will be a big Zero. But my opinion is

Plain and simple , we are doing too many experiment. I can compare this team with

Current Bangladesh Government . we do ‘t have any idea who has actually run the

Team. While Srilanka came to the test cricket , they always maintained a standard. They did have behind a great school cricket infra structure . They were getting limited success in the international cricket . but they made their presence felt.

Duleep Mendis, Roy Dias got respect from the world cricket while Arjuna Ranatunga and Aravinda –de -Silva had entered to the cricket as future great. Gradually we got the greatest names of world cricket Muttiah Muralitharan, Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakkara , Mahela Jayawardene and other greats . while they

end their carrier they will do have equally personal and team success. This was the continuation. Only one Sir Garry Sobers, Dave whatmore and Tom mody did not change the Lanka cricket. Lanka officials did have a long term plan but that does not mean Srilankan media has ruined the other sports of the country as our media ditched our football. They do

have star like Susanthika Jayasinghe . Now If we look at Bangladesh crciket without any doubt

Bangladesh team did not maintain same squad even in one tournament. Our resource is limited but

We show the luxury to drop our best players off and on. Our A team does not have big diffrence with

The main team. What is most important right now , We should maintain best 17 at least next 2 years and besides we have to make our reserve banch strong. Team composition should be like that

Tamim Iqbal ,Mohammad Ashraful , Raqibul Hasan Mushfiqur Rahim ,Alok Kapali , Aftab Ahmed, Mashrafe Mortaza , Abdur Razzak, Shahadat Hossain , Shahriar Nafees, Shakib Al Hasan, Syed Rasel, Rajin Saleh, Tapash Baisya, Dhiman Ghosh. Enamul Haque jnr

These are the players who have impressive track record in last some years

On every form of cricket. Now National selectors should maintain this 17

Or do plus minus one or two. Cricket is a process. We need good leader ship

As well. We do have batsmen of class like Mohmmad Ashraful, Aftab Ahmed and Alok kapali who can destroy any level of bowling in their best day. Tamim and Sakib are even not behind. Mushrafe and Razzak could give best challenge to any team any time. So we have to ensure that those players should get confidence from selectors that they

Will not be thrown out of the team because of one or two bad performance. Besides we need a captain who can equally lead from front with performance and represent the team with best leadership quality. Ashraful is a great asset for this team. A team like Bangladesh can’t afford to loose one Asharful, Aftab or Alok.

Still after that my bet is for Shahriar Nafees or Alok Kapali.
