Indian Cricket &My Career

Though I know that their is not very much commomn between both, but at present both are in doldrums, uncertainty looms large over both of them.Just like Dravid; I thought that i was incharge comletely in control but like him met the similar fate,dont know why this happened and more important,how it happened.I will be completing a year in job in june,my profile and team went through restructing,my boss quit just before ratings, so I was rated by a person whom i knew for 2 months,my rating was finalized by a person who does not know me so the outcome is but obvious.

I have got a new boss, most of my team mates are moving to better & greener pastures, I am undecided just like Dravid & chappel, what went wrong or Is this question inflammatory.I feel like the million dollar earning cricketers who think that they have failed(my guess),after the last 11 months I find myself out of the "super eight",at the end i realized(made to) that I din't have any worthwhile contributions to my group this year and their are very few chancess that I will contribute any thing significant this year

So both the Indian cricket as well as my career needs some restructring, some charisma which can bring them out of the darkness.

Performance Appraisal

The D day has come, and i have a hunch that it will be a catastrophic event a disaster but not natural but man made(me) with good contributions from my Boss. Yesterday I was asked to pen down my achievements for rating purpose , immediately I thought of the 100 things i have done but wait half of them are in the conceptualisation state, another 10-20% never took off, and the rest fared badly so i was left with 5-6 odd jobs that too not worth calling achievements, but being an MBA you are best at giving global gyaan and filling answer sheets without even having a slightest idea of what you are writing about so finally I was able to write 10 points as to how i made a difference to the group and the organisation. Looking back I myself don't find any worthwhile contributions Ii made so If my boss wont find any even with a magnifying glass then it wont be a surprise, i have already started getting the sympathetic look from my colleagues the same look which you find in the eyes of the customer in a butchers shop.But I have the privilege of having the company of "The old Monk" to drown all my sorrows, below is a good picture I found on the net.

"Being" the Best is not at all important, "Doing" the Best is all that matters.... "
