MANKADED

                                       The game of cricket has got many controversies and mankading is one among them. The mankading is nothing but making the no striker batsmen to get run out, before a single ball is being bowled in that particular over. The ball is not counted though, yet there is a chance of taking wickets. This is mainly applicable in the case, where the non striker in keen on getting back the strike. As soon as the bowler starts his run up, the non striker might be ready to run towards the striker's end and the distance needed by him to cover the non striker end might get reduced. 

                                      Many people have claimed this as an act of cheating and the spirit of the game would be broken, if this kind of dismissal is being allowed. Even though it is completely legal by the laws of the game, it was considered against the cricketing spirit, despite being called official by the rules. Many were not aware of the rule which gives bowler a complete right to run the non striker out, before releasing the ball. Once a bowler enters his delivery stride, it does not give the non striker the freedom to move out of his crease.

                                      How are the situations any different, really? In both the cases the batsman is attempting to gain advantage, in one by reaching the pitch of the ball and negating the spin, in the other by reducing the distance he must cover to complete a run. A wicket keeper who stumps a batsmen is lauded for his sharp work, yet an eagle eyed bowler who mankads is usually condemned as unsporting. Certainly a mankad is no less fair than when a striker's straight drive rockets through the bowler's hands and hits the stumps with non-striker out of his ground. Of course, umpires rightly treat that as they do a regulation run out. Just as they should with the mankad.

GIRLY FIGHTS

                        It is also known as cat fights. Many times I have come across certain different fights that happen in the world. To be specific, I always like to witness the fights that happen between two girls. Girly fights does not mean, two men fighting for some girl. It simply means, two girls fighting for a silly reason. The main fight comes when two girls who consider themselves as equally important, out of which one gets the importance and the other one does not get the required importance. The fights happen in a very childish manner. They would never wanted to accept their defeat or mistake.                          These fights might happen without any reason at some cases. when we expect the fight to be over, it might continue. There won't be much worthiness of such a fight to happen. In other cases, we might consider a fight to prolong a long...

OVER CAUTIOUS

              One Kind of behavior that should not be possessed by all is over-cautious. It is good to be cautious, but over cautiousness limits the expansion of ones freedom. There would be a lot of restrictions that will be levied on the person when they feel him to be over-cautious. Being overcautious might result in minimizing the error, but there is never a assurance that the error will never happen at all. Definitely, the person needs to get some leverage in doing their works. These people are certainly having some kind of disorder that is know as overcautious disorder.                We can take example from the cricket scenario, we are playing a test match and our team is playing to draw the test match and we have all the wickets in hand and fifth day of the match and around 400 runs to win on the final day, which is herculean task and never happened on the fifth day. All the batsmen's intention would ...

INVESTMENT DECISION

                             It is always a wise decision to invest in either gold or land or stocks, shares, bonds debenture etc. The sole aim of this investment is to earn profit and utilize it for future purpose. But, we must understand one thing before investing. That important thing is the return we get back. The return is basically high when compared to the investment in terms of the value in most of the cases. but, when we consider the Net present value, the returns might not be greater than investment. So, we must be very careful in that decision.                              Net present value is nothing but the amount we receive in future divided by the interest rate. Suppose we are investing 10,000 in a bank and get back 15,000 in the next year, it has more value than getting 3,200 for the next 5 years. Since, the value of 320...
