IPL 3 Finale....A nice setup

Before i start expresseing my views on d finale, i would like 2 congratulate all d CSK fans 4 der team victory. u guyz relli played well...n undoubtedly deserved 2 win d finale but but but...

MI u guyz too played well till semis...gr8 journey since day1...sachin was majestic....tiwari, pollard, dhawan, zaheer, bhajji n many more...n 2 frgt fernando n malinga...all of u played terrific...

But there is a part in me, that tells that dis wasnt a finale by ny fair means...what i think is dat it was a setup...which benefited eve1 frm top 2 bottom...no no no...hold ur thots...i gt ma reasons 2 xplain...

1. d unexpected series bomb blastin banglore jus days before d finale...of which security agencies had no clue...leading 2 d change of venue 2 Mumbai...(benefit govt n MI as a whole)

2. d rumours of sachin nt playin d finale till last min....although he was der in playin 11...till 5:50pm der was no official announcment dat he wud play...(benefit bookies)

3. d unusual dismissal of sachin...if guyz noticed carefully..it lukd as if sachin actually played d shot 2 get out..it no way lukd like coming frm "man of d series". Now u mite b thinkin dat sachin was injured...na na na...he played well 2 reach 48 wiz a fairly good strike rate...

4. n d final point which i assume eve1 felt....d unusual battin line up...why bring in pollard so late...(benefit bookies...coz by d time pollard came 2 bat...CSK was winning)

As d saying goes..."Money speaks"..."Paisa Bolta Hai"...

But again...hats off 2 CSK...dey held der nerves ind final overs...hats off 2 morkel 4 dat splendid over...

Truly dat 1 over of MI made a diff btw d losers n winners...as d proverb "catches win u matches"...it certainly happened wiz CSK...MI paid heavily 4 dose 2 drop catches...

All i would say is dat...i hv supported MI since beginin...n i will b doin it again next year...coz u guyz really earned a place in finale n deserved 2 win it...

2 think out of d box...

Being on d presidents list dis academic year, i was given an opportunity 2 attend a seminar on creativity n innovation by sm XYZ *cudnt catch his name*...some Swedish dude who has worked for companies like erriction, IKEA n many more...newys...

I was pretty xcited 2 hv been given dis chance. The seminar was all abt d importance of creativity n innovation tdy. He tol us hw countries like US, Japan n many EU countries are spending billions of $ of money on research n stuff...in order 2 innovate. During the seminar he tol us dat students tdy were required 2 step out of d books...stop following d traditional practice of learning bookish knowledge n gettin gud grades. On dat our dean had 2 say dis...
"I always advice my students not 2 limit themselves 2 textbooks...think beyond d line.."...he also admitted dat innovation required breaking rules...

As i walked out of the auditorium i was thinkin n comparin wat d dean spoke a lil while ago with d reality...

I dont ko abt oder countries buh certainly do kno dat in dis part of d world (UAE)...n basically d whole CBSE system...students r taught frm day 1 2 learn evethng frm text or depend on the teachers notes..d quesion in xams r nuthin but dose frm d text...so basically itz jus memorizin n vomittin...dats it..nw whr is d scope 4 innovation???

Talkin abt creativity...activities like dance, art r considered secondary in skool...although sometimes a student is xceptionally gud @ it..so although der is scope 4 creaivity buh it is neva allowed 2 grow...

Another important point mentioned in d lecture was dat...firms r lookin 2 employ ppl whu can think creatively...is it so??...i certainly dun think so...
becoz creativity dusnt require ne bachlors degree...buh gettin a job requires one...

At d end of d day i feel dat...innovation n creativity luk gud on paper buh in actual it is nt possible in such a environment..
