The wheel that squeaks!

I remember a recent interview by Rakhi Sawant with Prabhu Chawla in Aajtak titled ‘’Ulti baat’’ (Since it was Prabhu being interviewed) where Chawla said that once he feared for his job when he lost a tape containing an interview with Late Benazir Bhutto in a taxi!

The lady was kind enough to give me another the same day, he remarked.Imagine, a man like Prabhu, one of the most powerful men in TV Today Network, feared for his job for losing just one interview! (Though he may have said that in jest).

Many professionals face the same situation in their careers when just one mistake, even if not deliberate, can result in job threatening situations.

Then why international umpires, whose decisions have so much bearing on the careers of players as well as economics of cricket, should be immune to this.

People like Bucknor are such a shame. Despite technology showing them repeatedly in the wrong, they do not have little bit of remorse in repeating the same mistakes again and again.Full of mischief, they favour the teams whose officials hold the real power and it is not just an ‘opinion’.

It is high time for India to lodge a protest. As Sidhu said yesterday, ‘’My Dear, only the wheel that squeaks gets the grease!”
