How to Go ahead? ...After a Failure...

After listening to the apology speech of Tiger woods, I was wondering as to what are the different ways people try to mend their ways after a failure (Self inflicted or otherwise). I could find only three ways:

1. Fight Back and turn your story into a success story;a story which would inspire.

Roger federer is one of them - he lost to Nadal when people thought him to be the invincible. He cried, licked his wounds and came back with a bang.

2. Get frustrated and depressed; get lost into the pages of history. Just fade

Paul Gascoigne: Just one missed penalty shot in the finals of 1998 world cup, turned his career. Drinking has taken heavy toll on him and he would eventually fade out....Sad, people say he is a player who had the potential to bring home the world cup for england!

3. Go about life as usual, with a feeling "who doesn't make mistakes? " or " show me a person who has never failed?".

Politicians: What better example then these group of people. We have innumerable of them.

So, thinking from neutral point of view, I strongly believe and suggest that one must keep fighting...Because you just don't wan't to fade out or die dirty!

The IPL fever...Back in India- 2010!

I was going through the advertisements of IPL 2010. The underlying theme that comes out clearly is - "Last time it was in South Africa and this time its in India, So expect a bigger and better show".

Its true that , last time players might have missed on the Indian playing conditions, teams have missed on the Indian cricket frenzy crowd - or should we call them 'The audience', management missed out on the opportunity to mint more money and the Cricket lovers of this sub-continent missed out on the excitement.

Things have started rolling on a positive note this year, except for the fiasco between IPl and Players from Pakistan. The IPL ads that have come up this year have been conceived by JWT and features all the team captains with the punch line " We missed you" - i.e. we missed the excitement of playing in India. One exception being KKR where, "dada" (Saurav Ganguly) says "Dada ne bhi aapko miss kiya" rather than saying " Humne (we) aapko miss kiya"...So you see example of a strong leader overshadowing a team!

Anyways what ever the situation may be I am looking forward for the excitement and My best wished with 'Dada'..... oops! KKR!
