Odds were against them. Predictions were negative. And hopes, low. But, they proved their might. From the ashes, they rose again like a phoenix.
The Indian cricket team brought the test to a draw unexpectedly today.
Cricket and politics are the two driving forces of the country. Both of them ride on the back of billions of aspirations. And, with the cricket team spinning a triumph tale, it is high time that politics take a cue from their success mantra.
•United we stand, divided we fall. The success streak of Team India testifies this statement. With most of the political alliances breaking off and internal disputes creating drifts within the party, the lesson of team spirit should come handy.
•A leader does not dictate, he inspires. Under the captaincy of a good team leader, each player could contribute to the best of his abilities. So is true for a political leader. Knowing the pulse of the crowd, he should be able to motivate them and keep them bounded.
•The indomitable combination of experience and youthful energy gives an edge to the team. May the vigour of the young and wisdom of the old come together in the Indian political arena too.
However, the learning is not one sided. Even the politicians have lessons to teach the cricketers. And, that is the never- say- die- spirit. Be it any number of criminal cases, sentences, party disputes or old age, our politicians NEVER say die.
Be it a no- confidence motion or a follow on, one will cling on.
How zz thaaaaaat?
