Down With The Men In Blue

Hi

All of us are aware of the fact that how the performance of the Indian cricket team affects the mood swings of an entire nation. Where a victory on Sunday evening can increase productivity manifold on a monday, a morale-sapping defeat can ruin an entire week. In this light, the defeat by the hands of Australia was particularly distressing. Its not only the fact, that they went down, but the manner in which they went down which was particularly heart wrenching.

And this is not the first time, public memory in India tends to be very short. Perhaps, its the win-win situation in which our cricketers find themselves responsible for it. It hardly makes a difference to them if India win or lose, As long as Team Samsung, Team Ambition, Men in Blue etc. continue to do well, Team India would not. So lets make our point in whatever small way we can...Let us not buy any products endorsed by the Indian cricket players and cut this bunch of over-rated losers to their size.....

Forward this mail to all of your contacts, maybe in a week we can have a million signatures on this mail and it somehow finds its way to Sales & Marketing of Pepsi etc....perhaps that would then make a difference....
