I myself have thought on these lines hundreds of times. The thing is, even if the 'sung - heros' ever mention anyone in their eulogy, it is always parents, friends - never their unsung aides.<BR/><BR/>So here's to all unsung aides, reasons and muses!Manjushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615676255263712688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28915257.post-79797975717411354112008-06-19T06:29:00.000-07:002008-06-19T06:29:00.000-07:00Nice point AKP.I did not think about it that way.Y...Nice point AKP.<BR/><BR/>I did not think about it that way.<BR/><BR/>Yes, uneasy is the head that sits on the crown ( I may have got the phrase wrong. :) <BR/><BR/>Keep writing.Gaurav Parabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948579747320824488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28915257.post-21597996345025855342008-06-19T02:59:00.000-07:002008-06-19T02:59:00.000-07:00No, I am not kidding.My understanding of the poem ...No, I am not kidding.<BR/><BR/>My understanding of the poem is that Gaurav is trying to say that the little things which makes up the success should be appreciated.<BR/><BR/>My logic is that if a cook's recipe is bad, little would you think about attributing it to the chap who cut the vegetables.<BR/><BR/>You never blame an anti social element's teacher for that person's behaviour.<BR/><BR/>The forward player is the person who will be crucified if he cannot convert a pass to the goal.<BR/><BR/>What I want to convey has become tacit now.<BR/><BR/>I am not saying that these people shall not be appreciated, but this is the way the world works. <BR/><BR/>Again, the poem is a great piece of work and I have all due respect to Gaurav.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28915257.post-7244697085689965872008-06-16T05:17:00.000-07:002008-06-16T05:17:00.000-07:00@ AI had tremendous fun writing this one.

I think you are right to have issues with the idea.<BR/><BR/>The whole point is, like you, everyone appreciates the very few who can cook. NO issues with that. If you have a skill set that most dont, you ought to be applauded.<BR/><BR/>But very few dont even think about acknowledging the little chap who goes about the mundane task of cutting the vegetables. <BR/><BR/>Thats what this is about.<BR/><BR/>Keep writing in !

I would call it one of the greatest days in sports, ever. <BR/>Gibbs with his 175, Smith with his brute 90 and the evr dependable Boucher with his 54 were the heroes. <BR/>But then, there was this little spark that went largely unnoticed, the spark that lit the Wanderers on fire that evening. <BR/>After the mauling, as legend goes, everyone was down and out in the Proteas dressing room. Mr. Cool, Kallis walked in, looked at everybody, and passed along a quiet observation - "I guess they fell 20-30 runs short." <BR/><BR/>Well, the rest is history.Satish Naiduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430507934390595828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28915257.post-12043618169249094732008-06-07T08:19:00.000-07:002008-06-07T08:19:00.000-07:00As usual, a very well written poem Gaurav, but not...As usual, a very well written poem Gaurav, but not as intense as your recent works.<BR/><BR/>True, behind every individual success there is a team effort. But, it is individual who makes the difference, though I agree with your starting lines, it is fact that there will be too many people ready to cut the meat into pieces, but very few know how to cook.<BR/><BR/>Same is the the case with other examples.<BR/><BR/>The analogy between the midfielder in the soccer and the elementary teacher of a scientist didn't fit in well.<BR/><BR/>I liked the poem, its just the idea that I could not settle well with.<BR/><BR/>Hope you din mind me being critical.....<BR/><BR/>-AKPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
