The Uncut Press-Conference of MS Dhoni


Sticking to the tradition of losing (well, there were one or two totally  unintentional accidental cases, where India won – but you have to note –  that did not affect the result of the entire series at all), today Indian National Cricket team under Shri Mahendra Singh Dhoni loses another ODI against England. After the match, Dhoni was kind enough to come in the press conference.  And he came, he saw and he conquered.

Mahendra Singh DhoniThis reporter of The Analyst was one of the fortunate ones, who attended it. He strongly repeats his statement when he was asked whether he would step down. “NEVER!” was his single word answer.  And he has then furnished some superb cutting-edge logic.

“Cricket is a team game, just like politics. When Congress lost the battle of Uttar Pradesh, there was Digvijaya Singh to take the responsibility on his shoulder. Remember, Rahul Gandhi was the captain of the campaign. Still Diggy did so. If I don’t have someone like Diggy in my team, what can I do?” – Dhoni simply knocked-out the journo by these words.

Our Own Prince

The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli

“For the hereditary prince has less cause and less necessity to offend; hence it happens that he will be more loved; and unless extraordinary vices cause him to be hated, it is reasonable to expect that his subjects will be naturally well disposed towards him; and in the antiquity and duration of his rule the memories and motives that make for change are lost…”
Niccolò Machiavelli? 

Of course it is; Il Principe, chapter-II, De principatibushereditariis. (The Prince, of hereditary princedoms).

Why digging the Old Hat out of his graves? 

Because nothing explains so perfectly the current Indian mentality about our most eligible bachelor, Prince Rahul Gandhi. Everybody is wanting to him to see him as the Prime Minister of India. List doesn’t end at Digvijay the old-faithful…..Ashok Gehlot, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, wants Rahul to be a PM. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna wants Rahul Gandhi as a PM in 2014. Even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has openly expressed his desire to induct Rahul into the Cabinet. Even media houses  doing yearly or half yearly roundups of the public mood in ‘favour’ of Rahul Gandhi occupying the top chair of India.Everybody is wanting to him to see him as the Prime Minister of India. Let us see, what are the political peaks our Prince has achieved…
