The current India Vs New Zealand Test Cricket series.

In my opinion, when the cricket pitch is not very good for batting, then the need is reduced for the bowler to bowl a good delivery. In other words, if the batsman depends upon the batting strip to be good for batting, then he depends on his dependency. The bowler just needs to be reasonably good, and the batsman will not need the bowler to be very skilled, to get himself out. When the batting strip is in a certain condition, then the skill of the bowler, after a certain degree is not required. Is this going to be the situation in Napier tomorrow, when the Second Test India Vs New Zealand begins? New Zealand, too, have some very good batsman. I can count at least to four, when I think about them. How the batsman feel during the game, will depend upon how successful they perceive the bowlers to be. Perhaps, if the team is successful during the second test, then the other players in the squad will get their chance in the third test match.

Mr Naresh Chandra's interview to NDTV Profit.

I was watching Mr Chandra's interview with attention. Mr Chandra said, that perhaps, the civilian government in Pakistan, acts as a front for the army. Perhaps, the army and elected civilian governments in Pakistan, have many and meaningful differences, but they put up a joint front, to the external interests of Pakistan. This is very obvious, in the current political standoff in Pakistan. Mr Chandra gave some points, on why the U S government was understanding, after the later nuclear testing of India. The fact of the matter is, like Mr Chandra pointed out, the friends of India were more antagonistic in The United states, towards the nuclear testing, than the others. Perhaps, the points which Mr Chandra, put in front of the United States, could have equally in chance, not been accepted by the United States government. Or perhaps, there is no chance, in what occurs.

Pakistan's Internal Dilemma.

Pakistan's dilemma is that she is not well represented in the house of representatives, in Islamabad, adequately, by representatives, from all of her provinces. It is said that Balochistan is a very resource rich province of Pakistan. But do the politicians of Balochistan have the same standing in Islamabad, as do the politicians of Sindh and the Punjab? What about the politicians from the North West Frontier Provinces? Pakistan wants a strong national identity, and the semi independent identity of the North West Frontier tribes, and the tribes from Balochistan, do not accord with the previously mentioned identity. It would perhaps be wise to foster this strong national identity, within and above the semi independent identity of the tribes. But, to come back to my earlier presumption, why, if so, are the Balochistan politicians not important to Pakistan politics? And also why does the same apply to the N W F P politicians? Why are the Punjab landlords seen as more patriotic than the leaders of the mentioned provinces? Perhaps, in Pakistan, first, the political party comes to power, and then, the political agenda is formulated. In other words, the political agenda keeps on changing, after the political party, comes to power in Pakistan. In this situation, the winner would not want to share power with those who are not in power. So, this is the cause of a circular operation, perhaps, in Pakistan politics, which is perceived as negative, by the rest of the democratic world. Also, Pakistan does not have a very democratic identity. The nation was not formed out of feelings of love between her and her neighbors. The nation was formed out of a force of intent, rather than understanding. Hence, perhaps, the political setup of Pakistan can be explained. The neighbors of Pakistan can perhaps, be proactive, in assisting goodwill to foster inside Pakistan, between herself, and her neighbors, and also can help Pakistan to be prosperous and happy inside of herself.

India's opportunities in World Affairs.

I was reading the editorial of The Hindu newspaper, today, where a senior former diplomat commented on the situations in India's foreign affairs. The gentleman, said, that many alliances around the world, have been readdressed. If one looks at world alliances, most of them, are very well intentioned, and very important treaties. I am sure, that the gentleman agrees, that if nations like China, India, and the United States, keep changing their alliances, then the rest of the globe will be wary. So, perhaps, India, China, and the United States, have not made alterations to their alliances, but have proceeded further on the same path. I am sure, that the closeness in proximity to the United States, in international relations, was but inevitable for India. I did not know, that India had made changes to her diplomatic exchanges with Tehran, and some other nations. This is a minor hiccup in the diplomatic exchanges. Iran and New Delhi have had very good relations from very early times. I am sure that things will improve, in time. Relations are forged, but once they are forged, they are very difficult to forgo, if they are good. Relations which are strained, may be easier to remedy, in the future.
