Day 17 - Left right in the center

Almost everyone is writing a blog on Ganguly nowadays. Being a staunch supporter of Ganguly right from the beginning, I thought it was right and I had the right to write about Ganguly.

Right, lets start. Ganguly is a left batsman and a right bowler. But, a right bowler only on the right pitches. And never the right fielder. Ganguly drives left but writes right. Just because he writes right can he be considered right? Just because he drives left, can he be left out (of the team)? Was Wright right in thinking that Ganguly was the right man for the job? Wasn’t Wright himself left? Did Chappell have the right to write to the board about Ganguly? Did Chappell go beyond his rights to have Ganguly left out? Dravid, once Ganguly’s right hand and a right hander himself - why didn’t he write to the board in support of Ganguly? Why is the left supporting Ganguly? Is it because he bats left? Or is it because they are left with no other issues to fight with the center?

No one knows the right answers for these questions. Nobody has the right to ask the BCCI. All these questions will be left hanging in the air forever. Leo da Mirci proposed a solution to all these questions in these simple words

“When Wright was the coach, Ganguly was the captain and Ganguly was mostly right. Soon Ganguly was left out and Wright left the team. Now, Chappell is the coach and Dravid is the captain but Dravid can never be Chappell. So Dravid won’t be left out and so Chappell shouldn’t leave the team”. Leo da Mirci is right, right?

One thing I can understand from this solution is “Chappals shouldn’t be left out (of chapels or temples). They will be stolen by Ganguly (both the right and left ones).”

Right. I hear you saying “Stop writing and leave us right now”. I will. Before that answer this simple question that Ganguly asked recently when a reporter asked him about his batting…

“If I say I am left, am I right?”

It is difficult to answer even such simple questions. That is life!!!

It was good reading..
Nice play with the words...

Here is one more that i read somewhere, but about a far more important subject than gangs..

"Nothingness is not, Nothingness is 'made to be'.. Nothingness does not nihilate itself; Nothingness is nihilated.. it would be inconceivable that a being which is full of positivity should maintain and create outside itself a nothingness or transcendent being, for there would be nothing in being by which being could surpass itself towards non-being. the being by which nothingness arrives in the world must hinilate nothingness in its being, and even so it still runs the risk of establishing nothingness as a transcendent in the very heart of immanence unless it nihilates nothingness in connection with its own being. The being by which nothingness arrives in the world is a being such that in its being, the nothingness of its being is in question. The being by which nothingess comes to the world must be its own nothingness.."
