An old case of cricket obsession

So nowadays everything that is more likely to lose is considered a game. However, the difference between sports and work that we came to understand is that the purpose of sports is purely entertainment. If you look, the game is the antithesis of the work where the seriousness came into it and it became work. That is why polo is a sport for man and work for the horse.

Mirza himself is not unaware of this fundamental difference. We remember very well that one day when he returned from Tando Allahyar to read poetry for a fee, he began to say to us, Economists understand. ”Now it can be judged whether cricket meets this standard of the game or not. Before making a decision, it should be kept in mind that cricket is actually a game of the British and some of it depends on their phlegmatic temperament.

His national trait is that he becomes very passionate in matters of entertainment and a great businessman in matters of love. The result of this pleasant contradiction is that his philosophy is superficial and humorous.

Our attachment to cricket is an old phenomenon which today, a hundred years later, to express surprise or regret is to prove our ignorance. After the fall of 1857, and even before that, our testers realized the interrelationship between English culture and cricket. As has been pointed out above, cricket is not a hobby for the British but a mission. But if you have ever seen cricket teams challenge the weather on a busy May-June afternoon with incredible boldness, you will not be able to live without concluding that we have neither a cricketing hobby nor a mission, good. There is a lot of penal labor, in which you have to sweat more than work.

Now, if a person turns his head and asks his workers to do such work in such weather conditions, his challan will be issued on the first day. But in cricket, since there is no general rules for compensation, the question of challan does not arise. The way in which a light game developed by our hands and turned into work will not be in the imagination of its inventors.

Ghalib may have been inspired by such a situation and said that we Mughal children are also angry, we kill whoever we die. And the reason for this seems to be that our attitude towards this game is not like that of adults, it is like that of children. Because only children take sports so seriously. Then, as the child grows older, his attitude towards play becomes less serious and this is a sign of mental maturity. Cricket fans often say to unfamiliar art like us, “Mian! What do you know about the intricacies of cricket? Cricket is no longer playing, science has become science! ”Strange coincidence. The same is true of the rumor mill That is the sixteenth coming scientific game. Talk about rubbing salt in my wounds - d'oh! But we have no doubt that Rami is scientific. So it turned out that cricket and rummy are definitely scientific and therefore cannot be called a sport.

The thing is, where the mind is stressed in the game, the game is no longer a game, it becomes a work. Criticizing cricket once, we told Mirza that the best sport in sports is the one in which the mind is least stressed.

He said, "Right! Will be very suitable for your delicate nature. Because the legal definition of gambling is that you don't have to use your intellect to play it. ”Not just cricket. There is a general tendency in developed countries that education is very easy and entertainment becomes more difficult day by day (for example, doing BA is a left handed game, but it takes intellect to learn). Radio, television, cinema and picture books Now education has become very simple and common but sports are becoming more and more expensive and complicated. Therefore, some stupid boys have started paying more attention to education by avoiding sports.

The lessons learned from this are in front of us all in the form of politicians.

There is a saying of a moderate sage, "play is good at play and work is good at work." They are in favor of working at eight o'clock. Truth be told, we count ourselves among the normal people who like to play at work and play at work, and when it comes to open talk, allow them to say that they actually play at work. Really enjoys Therefore, do not infer from the opposition to cricket that we are going to form a united front of the ANGROLD MEN against entertainment.

We ourselves are 100% in favor of entertainment, whether it is education for education, education for entertainment! We just want to make it clear that although the modern way of entertainment is a thousand times better than the old way of teaching; But it takes a lot of hard work.
