The word I learnt in 2012 : Retrospective

Olympics and Oscars a gateway to showcase Indian diaspora globally.

                     

Last year my vocabulary was increased by a word called retrospective. Thanks to Vodafone.

It appealed in the SC and got a order in its favour.Vodafone was asked to pay taxes for its takeover of Hutch in India.It claimed it had no authority over a company in Switzerland.GOI argued it as a case of no taxation and unlawful as its fixed assets were in India.The GOI brought a constitutional amendment called as the famous 'retrospective amendment'.

Now lets think if the world would  go retrospective what would happen

The judge pronounced  :

Ranbhir kapoor and Deepika , married retrospectively ,from 2002.

Vidya Balan decided to get pregnant retrospectively from the time she started acting.

Jury decided to give Aamir Khan , awards ,retrospectively from 1991.

Oscars was given to Shah Rukh khan  for Paheli,retrospectively.

Retrospectively Olympic committee decided to give gold to PT Usha and Milkha Singh.

Couple decided to get divorced retrospectively,i.e. again 2002 ,just a day after marriage.

Judge gave life term to the rapists retrospectively ,before the crime itself.

Students started being paid ,retrospectively,for attending schools and colleges.

On a more serious note, a school nearby has decided to raise fees retrospectively,from april 2012,just curious to know if government would follow suit, to raise fuel  prices retrospectively.

===Awards Hangover.

Rohit Sharma should OPEN

We need more servants(serving attitude) than leaders,we are having to many leaders 

Indian cricket has been off color off late .There have been loses in tests and onedayers. The basic reason of its failure of the famous batting order to deliver.

Indias are not know be too experimentive with its decision making .The new batsmen is given a certain no. of matches, whereas a senior batsmen is retained till he has to be dropped. Indians do not change their playing 11 when they are winning and also not  so when their infamed top and middle order have  failed to click. So the only chance they experiment is in an inconsequenal  rubber when they have already won a series. So an out of the box idea has very little chances of execution.

Seeing the recent string of opening partnership is feels appt. to have Rohit Sharma to open the innings in all three formats of the game. He has sound technique combined with a good temperament .Has the skill to dispatch a battery of pace bowlers and is comfortable hooking and pulling the short ball. All these make him the best suited person to open for the Indian team as one does want to leave a person of his calibre and talent to fetch drinks.

The only thing that goes against him is his inconsistency and that counts. In addition to being a good batsmen, he is an excellent fielder and a good team player, forgetting his skirmishes with Sehwag.

Every top batsmen in India  Sachin ,Ganguly and Sehwag have been promoted by their respective captains from middle order to open so that the best batsmen in the team gets to play the maximum no. of overs.

I am sure under the majestic captaincy of MS Dhoni , Rohit Sharma,a good cricketing brain, would do proper justice to the talent  he has by making full use of the opportunities he is given and making it count,so that the vaccum left by the irreplaceable Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is minimized.
