Eventually, as day light faded out on the 13th march 2010, little did we know that we were in for a beau idéal of a contest on the cards. All those who paid to watch the match live in the stadium had their money's worth. They were treated with some excellent batting display from both the sides, be it the Royals of Rajasthan or the Indians of Mumbai. The spectators would cherish this memory for many more years to come. These would be bed time stories or tales to their grand children in the 22nd century when probably cricket would be extinct on the universe or rather the essence of the game would have gone for a topsy-turvy ride.
The key outcome of this match is very well there for all of us to see. IPL initially when it begun had this bruit that it could be a platform for hard hitting batsman's to surpass and exhibit their powers. The likes of the afridi's, the sehwag's, the hayden's,the gilchrist's and the pandey's would have been the people to look out for and place your stakes on. Well to our astonishment, we were proved wrong to a certain extent, infact look at the people who have outperformed others. This opens a interesting question for disputation. Who would do you go for, when you wanna make your own team, the old war horses like sachin, gilly, hayden,kumble,kallis and jayasuriya or the youth brigade of pandey, uthappa, rayadu, tiwary,bopara,kohli and raina.
This again proves rather intends the power of style&elegance Vs that of raw power. Which one is bigger??? or rather should the question be, Which is better to possess??? This one is a classic example that would keep persuading every ones mind and instigates it to behave like a pendulum to take stance on either sides.
People call it dilemma. I see this as a situation for one to introspect himself, may be his mind and the way he would react to a decisive moment in his life or a crisis situation. We all know that its a matter of this decision that we would always look back and try to reflect upon irrespective of how life has progressed from there on.If you are able to ascertain the situation and make the right decision then nothing like that but are we in a position to get it right everytime would be the million dollar question. I agree we all have bad days and moments in life, but do we let it get to us time after time, my answer, quite similar to everyone's would be a big NO NO!!!.How do we make ourselfs better, as i cited earlier its a blend of Power, Style, Elegance and if required may be a pinch of arrogance is the obvious answer.
How do we develop it, is the question for all of us to answer in our own ways.If you ask me personally, well i would want to have a perfect blend of these, which ofcourse i know is a difficult thing to achieve, for we all know nothing in life is a freebee, for we also know that for everything else there is Master Card...
