News from Sundarbans-- the Royal Bengal Tigers have started a fast unto death to realise their one point demand, that is, to disassociate themselves from the national cricket team that uses their name. All these started when some tigers tried to commit suicide by drowning after learning the results of the recent ICC Trophy. Some senior tigers reportedly persuaded them to give up their fatal mission (as they are already on the brink of extinction). The dears are roaming tantalisingly near them. But the tigers are continuing their fast and showing utmost indifference to the presence of dears to safeguard their self-esteem.

Self-esteem is something we are lacking right now. I hope the clowns in the national team who like to claim them as cricketers will give up cricket (to which they give so little time and go by the name of professional cricketer and earn a hefty amount per month from BCB) and mind their own business which is always high in their agenda.
