KPS Gill, the Indian Hockey F***** (IHF)

This one is for the people who know that Hockey is - apparently - our National Sport.

Switched on the news today, and there was a half hour special dedicated to hockey, the aftermath of India's ouster from the Olympic qualifier, without qualifying for the Olympics for the first time in eighty years.

The funny part came in the form of the ticker headlines that came next:

First to come,

Indian coach Joaquim Carvalho resigns from the job because he feels that....blah blah....blah.

Next one that came was,

Vice President of the Hockey Federation, some Mr. Batra also resigns, as he thinks that....more blah....

The last one takes the cake,

KPS Gill won't quit, just like he hasn't been quitting over the last fourteen years. Indian Hockey is not instant coffee that you start winning overnight.

I think he also said, it's only after losing that one starts winning. Err...touch of Shahrukh Khan here....haar ke jeetne waaley ko Baazigar kehete hain.

Unfortunately for KPS Gill, SRK had three hours to lose race, win heart, dance around the trees with big, fat specs and Shilpa Shetty and Kajol, kill Madan Chopra, laugh incessantly and himself die.

KPS has had fourteen....years to do a lot less. He's only managed to screw, the Indian Hockey. And the man still has the audacity to say, "There is no question of quitting, I shall answer when the time is right."

Huh? You mean after India fails to qualify for the next Asian Games as well? Come on, give us all a break KPS, get out of that seat and blood a new guy to replace you. It is a plea from someone who does not watch any other sport except cricket.

I want to start enjoying our National Sport too, KPS. Please allow me to.

Please KPS (in the style of that small daughter who begs her father for drawing, in the Airtel Ad.) Show us the stars KPS.
