Damn it... how hard is it to be yourself?

(When there are few sane voices around you trying hard to put in stuff into your head, you either have to heed to them, or rant like this almost at midnight with not so sound health. )

I'm not worried about the result of the match nor about the show put up by the Indians so far, but how ridiculous Dhoni has been all through his innings. Not just this particular innings, it's been a while that he found a gratuitous approach to his game. The audacious Dhoni who massacred any bowling attack is now a distant memory!

The fact that he has been terribly struggling doesn't hurt me as much as the way he has chosen to go about things. Yes, there'll be numerous voices out there professing about "n" no. of virtues you don't posses. Does that only mean you'll have to start acquiring all of them, by trail and error method, and forget what you've been endowed with?

Impatience is a way of life, if that's your way too - SO BE IT!
Only fools rush.... don't worry! End of the day, if you win the race, you won't be tagged as "foolish" winner. If you lose, you'll anyways get an earful.
If your blood gushes out at every opportunity, go make it big! Resistance is USELESS!

Oh.. there is adaptability too, just round the corner. But if that starts hurting your innate strengths, just leave it there at that very corner. You'll be named "inflexible". You choose another way, you'll be called otherwise.

Straightly put: As long as you get the results, the world sings your tune. And to get results, you'll have to be you. Chances of being successful is far less when you're busy trying to be what you're not.

Incongruous are the man management skills of a team, that forces compromises out of its best men. Sachin has fallen prey to this weird theory of sacrificing his best, in name of team's benefit or whatever crap. Thankfully, Sehwag couldn't be bend. He is what HE IS!

Afridi makes more sense to me, going out and out at the very first ball of every single game he plays. He's a no-hoper in terms of batting these days, is still understandable; success or no-success he has his way.

Dhoni.. you gotta BE YOURSELF!
