Commander Selvam Siddhar






A few years back, there was an advertisement from a famous soft-drinks company which featured prominent cricketers. This Icon of Cricket was shown as saying "No" to the bat, and eagerly grabbing this soft-drink bottle, letting the other dummy bearing his resemblance to go and bat instead! Little would he have realized that a string of no-good performances might come in its wake..but so did it happen! The subtle message conveyed to the Universal Mind with that advert was "I am more interested in this softdrink than in my play" - though of course, the Icon did not realize it at that time. So, the Universal Mind did react by letting him sit in the stands often with the softdrinks for his company, while his beloved bat often seemed to betray him (he had a string of below-par performances which was in direct contrast to his generally consistent brilliance). It took quite a while for him to come out of that jinx!
