Narayana Murthy speaks...

OK. The Indians faced disappointment in the World Cup. Well, i had no expectations, so i dont claim to be one among those disappointed lot. I think we people have made a lot about this cricket fever. Everyday, the news headlines is about Cricket controversies and related stuff, while more socially relevant news items such as the death of a certain army officer is hardly covered. Infact, the cricket battles are so uninteresting that the moment i come across the ongoing disagreements between coaches and players and all that crap, i simply ignore it all. But i was bigtime surprised when Narayana Murthy, the Infosys idol, for whom i have lot of respect, voiced out his opinions on the cricket issue. The article which appeared in Times of India, is a kind of bitter-pill which the Indian team needs to swallow, in order to diagnose itself. Although his thoughts are pointed at the Indian cricket team, the thoughts are powerful enough to be applied anywhere, be it indian society or government machinery or a company or just any entity. Apart from carrying the undertones of inspiration, i felt that his thoughts have a fine blend of honesty, ruthlessness and simplicity. If only, these simple thoughts are put to action by people, India would have really been shining?
