Re: Why Did John Quit ?

** Indian Cricket team class in progress:**

**All the kids were making lot of noise. Of course it **would be wrong to say that
**everyone was making noise. Sachin, who was sitting on ****the first bench,was very ****quiet as usual. Only 2 minutes were left for the ****teacher to arrive. At sharp 9, **John Sir enters the class. Everyone take their place.

**“Good morning everybody”, Sir said. "Good morning **Sir", everyone said.

**Every one except Harbhajan. He was still learning **English.

“Sat Sri Akaal Sirji”.

**“Ok, today we are going to learn about team spirit”,**Sir said.

“What is timspi rit”?

**Well, it was Harbhajan again! Sir, many times felt ****that he should have ****completed his English classes before joining this **course.

**“Beta, it is not timspi rit. It is Team Spirit” he ****said, trying to control his ****frustration. "Ok boys, so let’s learn something about ****team spirit. Hey, ****Parthiv, how many times I have told you not to put ****your thumb in your mouth. ****Now you are in big boys. So act like a big kid. And ****how will you keep wickets **if you put your thumb in mouth"

Parthiv doesn’t pay any attention.

“PARTHIV”, Sir shouts.

**“Parthiv, take the thumb out.” Sachin says in his too **gentle voice.

**Parthiv immediately takes the thumb out and says - "I **will always listen to
you. Sachin Dada, You are my role model"

Sachin gives a TVS Victor smile.

**“Grrrrrr… I am the only DADA in this team! DO YOU ****UNDERSTAND?” Sourav dada **shouts from the last bench!

**“Boys, don’t fight. Today we are going to learn about **team spirit. Harbhajan!
**Why are you slapping Rahul?” **

“Sir, he calls me ‘Sardar’”

“But you are a Sardar, right?”
**“Sir, but he says - I can bowl well only at 12 **o’clock. And since 12o’clock is
**lunch time, I will never bowl well” - Bhaji said very **angrily.

**"Rahul, I always thought you were a quiet guy like **Sachin."

**"But Sir, he calls me ‘Tortoise’ because I score **slowly."

**"But, they all call u Wall for your perfect defence, **right? And you should be
proud of it"

**“I was sir. But now I am not, because they sing a song **- 'Rahul Dravid the
**Wall, Can’t hit a single ball’” **
**"Sourav, you are the captain of the side, you should **make sure that boys don’t
fight with each other."

**"I tried, but they don’t listen to me. Some of them ****still listen to Sachin **only." Sourav said dejectedly.

**"Guys, no more fights. So we are going to learn about **team spirit. Team spirit
**is - playing for the team and not for yourself. Can **anyone give me one example
of team spirit?"

**Everybody remained silent and as usual started looking **down.

“Ok, Nehra, give me a good example of team spirit”

**"Sir.. I don’t know any. But I know a good example of **lack of team spirit"

“Ok, ok, tell me that.”

**"When Sourav comes near his hundred, he forgets the **team’s requirement and
**plays slowly. That is a good example of lack of team **spirit"

**"Grrrr… In the next match Ajit will play in your **place. And you will be the
water boy" Roars Sourav.
**"This type of fighting is not good for our team. Anil, **you are a senior member
**of the side. You should take care of the boys. ANIL!!! ****Why are you looking at **the board, look at me."

**Some children say “soda buddi, soda buddi”. Everyone **laughs.

“Sir, I forgot my lenses today.”

“So you should always keep your specs with you.”

**"But sir, then these people call me ‘soda buddi’. Now **I wear lenses, so I am
not a soda buddi right?"

**Now Ajit joins the fight. " And you call me 'Diwali **Dasara’ because I give too
many runs"

**Kumble defends himself, "I said that because you **called me 'Navajyot Singh
Sidhu’ when I said something without thinking."

**Enough of this!!" Said frustrated John Right. "Guys, **one thing we have learned
**today and that is - there is no team spirit in our **side. By the way, no matter
**what happens, you should not call anyone 'Navajyot **Singh Sidhu’. That hurts.
**Now we have learned what is not team spirit. Let us **now see what team spirit
is?"

Sir I have a shooting for TVS Victor" Sachin said.
**“And I have to go for Coca ****Cola” - Said Sehwag. “Hero Honda for me” Sourav. "Jam **jam Jammy " Rahul said.

One by one every one left the classroom.

**Only sir and Parthiv Patel were left. Parthiv was **waiting for his mom to pick
**him up. He still has his thumb in his mouth. Sir has **anyway given up on this
**side. "Parthiv, I am going to teacher’s room. Don’t go ****anywhere. Your mom will ****come in few minutes. And don’t forget to take your **water bag home."

**Dejected sir went to the teachers’ room, called the **peon and told him to bring
**a VRS form!!!.. **
