Paes-Hesh!

May 21 2008

What is best for the country, what is best for the team!

These terms really make me ponder. What is so wrong in what Mahesh Bhupathi is saying? He is being extremely wise in saying that there is no communication between him and Paes and how do two people win when they aren’t in sync with each other? And even if they do win, will that really count? Didn’t Shahrukh Khan make it clear in Chak De India, that we need to play as a team?

Instead of asking Mahesh to think of the country’s interests, I would say, make Paes and Bhupathi meet and talk out things for Olympics. Airtel ad is simple “Faasle mit jaate hai jab do baatein ho jaati hai!” I am sure the differences wont be ironed out, but at least they could mutually decide to play with each other for the Olympics. Keeping aside differences in the game doesn’t mean you overlook basic compatibility issues. Because even if they do pull it off, it wont last for long.

I have always found Bhupathi to be an extremely astute and calm individual who would think of the sport first. Even in his email, he is saying that incommunicado will make things difficult. For once, individuals need to be given attention because after all it is these individuals who make teams and differences do not fly out of the window!
