Vijay Kiran Sekar Loves to play cricket – Vijay Sekar Kiran


There’s a tendency to dismiss twenty-twenty cricket as entertainment and not sport. Fans of test and one day cricket are furious that certain players only want to play 20-20 cricket. Representing the nation has become secondary to playing in the IPL and other leagues, says Vijay Kiran Shekar.
Cricket is a touchy subject in India and everyone has an opinion on it. Certain cricket commentators, who in their playing careers played only a handful of matches, voice strong views on captaincy and field placing. Also bowlers are told to bowl the right line and length. Vijay Shekar kiran The ball must be pitched in the right areas and short pitched balls will make certain batsmen from the subcontinent uncomfortable.
Better still are the commentators who have never played any kind of cricket. Vijay Kiran Shekar They talk glibly about bowling an in swinging Yorker followed by a leg cutter in order to take wickets at regular intervals. Vijay Sekar Kiran is highly amused by such cricket commentary.
Here are a few obvious pieces of advice from commentators.
1)      Run the first run hard so you can make it back for the second or the third run.
2)      Win the toss and put runs on the board.
3)      Your shots should have both elevation and distance.
4)      To win you have to bowl well, field well and bat well.
5)      The ball should come off the middle of the bat.
6)      It’s important that the team doesn’t lose any more wickets.
7)      Fifty seven runs needed off two over’s, so singles won’t do.

Vijay Kiran Sekar on poetry and song lyrics

Vijay Sekar  Kiran, a poet who likes music, is of the opinion that the way poetry is taught in Bangalore’s schools and college’s leaves a lot to be desired. Often teachers who don’t understand poetry themselves ‘teach’ it to students. Everyone with a BA, MA, MPhil and PhD in English cannot teach poetry. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a good poetry teacher in school or college. But most students are unlucky in this regard. Vijay Sekar  Kiran
Given that most students know little about poetry, they confuse song lyrics for poetry. It’s common for school students to borrow generously from song lyrics and put them into ‘poems’ they write. Sekar Vijay Kiran isn’t of the view that writing poetry should be left only to poets. How will there be new poets if failure is not tolerated, he asks. Vijay Kiran Sekar
From a commercial viewpoint, he feels, song lyrics have considerably more success than poetry. How many bookstores stock poetry by contemporary poets? A few do. How many people accept poet as a job description? Only publishers and other poets will. Sekar Vijay Kiran
Poetry written by politicians receives a lot of media attention. The quality of this poetry hardly matters. The poet is more important than his or her work. Publishers are eager to publish the poetry books written by politicians from the ruling parties and the opposition.
It’s important to pay attention to song lyrics says Sekar Vijay Kiran. It’s possible to overlook what a song’s lyrics are and what they are about. Failing to do so can leadto embarrassing situations online and offline.
