After my class on Organsational Behaviour, I wanted to apply the concept of Self- esteem in real world to understand it better. The initial thought came to me was the Australian cricket team. The characteristic of a high self-esteemed person can be put as, behaved aggressively or even violently when threatened and also became more egotistical when faced under pressure. Believe after understanding this, most of us can deduce why the Australian team behaved in such a shame way during the second test @

Controversial Character
Gentleman's Game
The recently held Test match between India-Australia fueled a lot of controversies. However I would like to have a different perspective here. As mentioned in the media, both the captains have agreed for on-field honesty. However, when Ricky, Symonds and Clarke stood still in the pitch even after nicking the ball, where is the answer for honesty or sportsmanship? Since these men lost their quality of honesty during the batting, how can they be the deciding factor in ruling Ganguly out? Leaving other umpiring rues are parts of the cricket, the umpire should have given himself out for Ganguly or referred to third umpire. Asking a person who lost his creditability for honesty was ridiculous I feel.

A week of exhibition visit
Last week of 2007 was really a "fair" one for me as I have been to two exhibitions in city.
Strand's bookstall, an illustrious exhibition was back in city at Chinnasamy stadium. The collection of books were really great and every book evokes you to buy it. Would love to have most of the books in my shelf, if wallet factor did not come on my way. After spending two hours and 2K, came out half-heartedly not able to buy all books. The space between tables does not allow the people to stand and check for the contents, a pitfall in the arrangement.
The second one is the Nilgiri's cake show, where the Bangalore palace made of sugar stood majestically near the entrance. There were great intricate works on sugar to make the Titanic, Jurassic park, Veena - the music instrument.
