Response to day 683

Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh

It is great to see that BAFTA did honor Jaya and Abhishek.. a recognition from anywhere is always good.. the one from BAFTA is specially more so..

Your attempt twittering was quite good.. no, no, I do not have any reasons to please you even if some AZ thinks that I do so to degrade his position or standing.. it is all right.. he is allowed what he wishes to think of me, you and him.. I have nothing against anyone.. nor do I have to explain myself unless really required.. threatening someone is out of question especially if someone calls one his elder brother.. he remains as dear to me as he may not understand.. despite that nasty phone call.. and subsequent writings here or in form of the SMSs.. AZ please live in some peace.. I am no competitor not only to you but not to anyone on this earth.. think positive.. that is the key to one's happiness.. if one does not accepts the abuses from another they reflect back onto the same person.. so be very careful when you speak over phone especially if you are also recording it for some reasons.. God bless you..

Brother.. there is no reason for me to take back my comments about the DAE/BRIT incidence.. though I did request AZ to get rid of them.. it is all right.. I haven't reported anything silly.. have valid fears in the light of the times we are living.. the incidence does appear to be simple burglary case and the culprit has been nabbed as well.. yet some reporters had completely wrongly added their own stories to it in the press.. that is nothing new.. yet in such sensitive matters the press must be more careful and maintain some sanctity and keep away from rumors.. I am slightly less scared of the event..
The Hockey team now has to only play for pride.. do not believe in the kind of permutations and combinations that media is building about India's prospect.. though for me.. semi-final is not the end of the road.. an improved world standing at the end of the tournament would be an achievement good enough.. and I must admit here that boys in the blue have been performing to their abilities if not beyond.. that in itself is some consolation.. if India could beat England which I seriously doubt they would probably be standing a chnce to feature in top six Hockey playing nations of the world and that would be no mean achievement by any standards.. so Sandeep, Shivendra, Sreejesh go ahead an d do your best.. I would eve love to see more action from Rajpal, Arjun and Pillay they have been playing good Hockey and even if they fail to win against England it would not matter so much.. we have witnessed a surge of interest in the Hockey and for this we must thank the FIH for holding the prestigious world cup event in New Delhi..

I also read the views of Dr. Manmohan Singh about his dialogue with Pakistan.. I fully support his view.. No, no, I am not a staunch supporter of any political system I only acknowledge a good deed and stand on the matter.. Dr. Singh is perfectly right when he says that maintaining distance has not helped our cause.. maybe the talks could some day initiate a better understanding between 60 year old rivals..

Love Affection and Respect as always
Abhaya Sharma
