DUMPING CAPTAIN

DUMPING CAPTAIN

Low scores hit captaincy craze!!!

When a man is going down the hill, everyone will give him a push. Such is the present scenario of under-fire Indian skipper MS Dhoni. Though Dhoni offers to quit test captaincy depending on BCCI's recommendations for a better replacement,it is quite certain that India is going to lose a potential captain. Looking back at the road of recent successes of our Indian team, shows Dhoni being crowned as the captain of the Indian team for his potentiality. He even proved it by bringing in Two wold cups. However things are quite different now.

                       Dhoni has lost seven straight test matches abroad as captain, while as a batsman he has struggled  to score on foreign pitches.

                       When Dhoni was on the top point of his career bringing cups and fame, people got time to rejoice in his victory. But now that he is going down the hill, everyone had started giving him  push. BCCI suspends Dhoni in the final tests for team India's slow over-rate in the perth match.Bloated with earlier success, cricket regulators expect their goose to lay golden eggs every time- but feed it no grain! Topics come up as how fast you can run at your age, your turning speed etc where you fail to score runs and ask for a better replacement. However replacing a captain does not ensure good scores and winning craze which is miraculously proved by holding his ground and struck 48 off 43 balls with a boundary and three sixes.

                       This shows clearly that its after all team-work and potentiality that matters most to become a captain.

                       Australia's win should not be taken as an embarrassment,rather it must be a lesson where it shows, that retired seniors even come back to the field to back their team when down, as in the case of Brett Lee who has long retired from test cricket.

                        "Test cricket is real cricket ",as quoted by Dhoni himself shows his ability to understand cricket much better. These test crickets are thus much essential for him to learn and gather more experience instead of backing down which would help in the long run.

                       As far as speaking of the audience and the cricket regulators, it should be their duty to stand beside the battered team and together bring forth the superiority of the Indian team instead of being devoured by the corrupted system of economy.

 After all its cricket, not budget!! 

BREAK THE NEGLIGENCE

BREAK THE NEGLIGENCE

 Mitigating Negligencies among officials can save lives

No co-operation from an ambulance driver led to this child's death

Crib deaths haunting in the Malda district Hospital, with 11 infants allegedly losing their lives in around 36 hrs has underlined the truth of the familiar cliche "an empty bag will never stand upright." The deteriorating infrastructure of public hospitals, even if it carries a status of a Medical Collage Hospital proves the above writen cliche that having a name can never help the system stand upright. It also points a finger towards the health ministry of the state and the vulnarability of infants. Combining the previous deaths of infants with the present deaths in the same hospital and in the same month, shows the negligence of the health ministry. It has failed to stop the present deaths, though inevitably aware of the previous ones.
           This negligency has to be stopped.The ministry should utilise its powers for the welfare of its people and not their own interests. Health officials should always be kept on check about their works an duties.this would help the patients get the opportunity to be treated on time. proper co-operation 'mantras' should be induced among the 'highly stressed' doctors and nurses as that will help provide a mental support to the agrieved families and make them stay cool.

           The establishment of Sick Newborn Care Unit(SNCU) had been of great impotance for emergency cases in infants. However, the lack of diligence among the officials are tending to mask the importance of the unit. This should be checked.
          More and more development of the infrastructure like- inclusion of more beds, upsurge in the number of well-trained doctors and the articulate use of  technical resources should be induced. This will help the patients get treatment in the proper time without travelling from one place to another losing their lives in the middle of the way.
         The hospitals should be visited from time to time by the task force of the health ministry. This would help the ministers to stay well informed about the state of the hospitals in case they are not. It will also keep the hospital authorities aware  of the conditions of the hospital as well as it will give them an opportunity to file their problems or lack of particulars to the task force. This would benefit the patients as well as the health offiicials on duty because this would lead to quick treatment of patients and thus save lives.
         The families should also be kept aware now and then of how to mitigate diseases by conducting differnt awareness programs. The hospital authorities also must co-operate with the families of the sick to reach the right treatment cell in the right time to save the lives of our very young.
