Indian Chutiapa @ Olympics

In the ongoing Olympics,India is probably seeing the never before seen results.But i am not going to talk about these over glorified achievements.I am talking about about some of the IQ deprived decisions because of which a gold medal is still a mirage.
I would like to highlight the much hyped Tennis controversy about the misplaced egos of the players and the association .This was reminiscent of the Sheen-Chuck feud which ended up screwing 2 shows. Firstly,Finalizing the doubles combination at the last moment was an action of obvious stupidity.What were they thinking?This was not a Breadth-end sem.This is serious stuff.Moreover it was very clear that the only realistic hope for a medal was the mixed-doubles event in which Mahesh-Sania had already won 2 grand slams.The players failed to understand that this was not the issue of playing for India or for themselves.Getting a medal is a win-win in any case.Still they fought desperately for the doubles combination.Instead of keeping the ball in their court,they were showing off the balls in their shorts,ending up with no balls and giving a free hit to their opponents.
This event is just the tip of the Iceberg.Such internal chutiaps is one of the main reasons India can only dream for a gold while Kazakhstan already has 6 in its pocket.

  3. Well I won't call it a 'Chutiyapa' but all i can say is that there was lack of practice/co-ordination amongst the player due to last moment pairing. Regarding Paes and Mahesh, well, there comes a time when two persons cannot tolerate each other due to ego clashes. Their rivalry is going on for a long time and they could not resolve it till date. So it was better to let them resolve their problems themselves.
    If you are thinking that they should have let their ego be putted aside and play for the country, which probably everyone would expect,then my friend it is the biggest CHUTIYAPANTI of the country. Remember: Gone are the days when people used to have jingoistic attitude. No one fucking plays for the country. Everyone firstly plays for himself/herself and then there is the media which highlights "DESH KI BETI ( SAINA NEHWAL ) / DESH KA BETA ( ABHINAV BINDRA ) yada yada...
    I think after Leander and Bhupati hardly there is any player in India which can match their level of playing.
    More better thing the AITA would have been done is by not sending the team to the Olympics as probability was < .5

    1. @Ankur-I don't think you have interpreted it correctly.Neither did i say that Paes-Hesh should set their ego aside not did i mentioned anything about being patriotic.I just said that the only feasible medal hope was Sania-Hesh pairing up for mixed double.And nobody seemed to be bothered about that option.If this isn't a "Chutiapa",what is it(i don't want to use any more derogatory word)

  4. @Asit: OOPS! My apologies! Was half asleep when i wrote it and also wanted to point out other than what you said.
    But do you think the pair would have "guaranteed" a medal to India?
    Well they must have considered about this option but then...
    what is your opinion on the comment that Sania Mirza made
    "Ye tennis wale mera user kar rahe hah!" BITCH PLEASE!

    And by the way, you write very well...KEEP THE GOOD WORK DUDE!

    1. Let me reply serially.No they wouldn't have guaranteed the medal but they were the best and only hope for one.
      On Sania's comment-No,they were not using her.Using her at right place would have humongously improved our medal prospects.
      And thanks for the compliment and i will keep up the good work :)
