Who is a genuine leader?
If you ask me, my bookish knowledge says the following:
1. A leader is one who rise up when there are no one to take up.
2. he, who backs up his teammates.
3. When asked, he says, he is just a team player and not a leader.
India-Australia Cricket Test Series was a definite example to showcase the leadership qualities.
I admired the way both Ponting and Dhoni showed their character.
Dhoni proved to be the better one which was known when he put his trust on Pujara and when Ponting neglected to put his trust on Hauritz..
These matches definitely improve the character of the audiences.
Long live these matches!!

CWG and Rural Development
Had I been a CWG organising committee what would i have done?
I was looking at the closing ceremony of the CWG function. It was ecstatic. also, i was looking at the way people admire things.
Suddenly, this came across my mind.
I saw my friend suddenly got admired about the crackers and was interested and wanted to fire crackers.
At CWG, around 700 crores was spent. But, the outcome benefit.. yeah, ofcourse, there are lot of revenues for the Delhi. And lot of people got employment to organise the things. Construction workers earned some livelihoods in constructing the stadium and buildings. Lot of money transferred to army men for their service. And yes, lot of money were transferred to the poor people who worked on the crackers.
Also, the same time, I was reminded about the social cost benefit analysis. If you spend, one rupee for the rural economy, your economy increases by thrice to what you have spent.
So, how about this idea?
You celebrate CWG with 700 crores. Of course, there are no objections. But spend atleast 233 crores to the rural economy. I doing so, we shall be in a position to get back the economy with all we have spent.
What does that mean?
Promote opening ceremony and closing ceremony with more of Indian rural products. Decorate your stadium with handicrafts made from rural areas.
Replace plastic bags with more human intensive jute bags.
Let people dance in the stadium with bangles.
Also, CWG was one big place where you would have marketed your traditional Indian products very much.
May be, to accompany that, I have to raise up to that level.
May be then, I would be seeing the economy in other lens!!
May be, I decide to close this post now!
