Indian Politics & Cricket
Test or Twenty20 ?
The days left to go for next election coming closer
When the Congress and the Left got together in 2004, the BJP had thought that the two would play a 'Twenty-20' game at best- the inherent contradictions in their ideological posturing, would make the UPA government unstable. The Congress on the other hand was confident-Congress-Left alliance were in for a 5-year long test match. The non-committal left, extending issue based support said that they would be in the field for as long they did not feel exhausted of supporting the neo-liberal policies of the Congress. Interestingly, the Left seems to be fast approaching their 'prudent limit of endurance' and the possibilities of the UPA alliance completing the test match (full term) seem remote.
With the 12th man (the Left) just refusing to catch the Indo-US nuclear deal, and openly declaring it's dislike for the Captain's (Manmohan Singh) strategy of subverting the Indian national interests at the altar of economic gains from the US, the odds are certainly tilting against the UPA. This was made abundantly clear by the CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat (an orthodox batter). Using the resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, he warned the Prime Minister to be more judicious in selecting shot (read friends)- Abe, Pervaiz Musharraf, John Howard, friends of US President George Bush were all on their way out, primarily because they had compromised their teams (nation's) interest and tried to play extravagant shots at the insistence of Bush administration. What this literally meant was that unless the captain mended his match-fixing ways in cahoots with the global empire-the left fast approaching its saturation level would precipitate, leading to the fall of UPA government.
Both cricket and politics are so much in common with the chameleon, which changes colour at the drop of a hat, merely to camouflage its existence & enhance chances of survival in a highly competitive jungle environment. Now, whether Manmohan bids bye Bush or Karat walks out of the field only time will tell, but one thing is certain the Congress- Left alliance would not complete the test match in the true cricketing spirit.

Many patients lose a lot of blood loss during surgery. Bleeding is common, but excessive bleeding can be troublesome. Bleeding might happen during the procedure and sometimes afterwards too.
