"sadly India  is  currently  ranked  an  abysmal  154th  and  playing  in  the  final   is a distant  dream  for  now "
=====================================================================
And    how   the  crazy  madness  or  induced  hype  or  addiction   is affecting   the   Indians , young  and  old  ? !
A  short    report  :
A  few  days   back     four    brilliant  students  of  class  XII  of   Rishra   of  Hoogly Dist. (  near  konnagar  )  left  their  home   on  false pretext   of  attending    tutorial   class(?), then  put  on  their  new   Brazylian  Football-Jersy  and  played  football  in  some  konnagar  field  then  came  to   bathe   in ' BARA  MANDIR '- Ghat  and    all  of them  got drowned    finished    their   state  as ' DEAD ' in the  High  Tide  Flow  of Ganga .
They  were  all  aspiring  for    football  sport  but  dd  not had  the  Swimming  Skill  ESSENTIAL  for  a    River-side  living .
Finally    they  were  all  single  child    of  their   parents  .
More   finally  ,  one  father  died of  heat  attack  within  a  few days    and the    mother   is   now  a  victim of   Dementia  (  as   far  as  I  now ) !
And  I  don't  know  other   reports  of   India   with  154th  Ranking  in    World  Sport .

In   my    younger   days  1960 --70-s , Pele   of  Brazil    came  to   India    I   wrote  some  thing (Manuscript )     of   the  then   CRAZE  or MADNESS  ! . But  that  is  not  the  ISSUE  here .
___________________________________________________________
IT   WAS  IMPOSSIBLE   FOR   ME   TO   SHAPE   THIS   AS   A   VERSE  .  SO !, POETRY OR  PROSE   ;  THE ESSENCE    WAS  PRECIOUS  TO  ME  !  AND    THUS  IT  CAME  OUT .
