Dear Mr. Chetan Chauhan
Happy times at DDCA. Congratulations to you and Mr. Jaitley for carrying the DDCA with such honour for such a long period of time. Its amazing how people are not jealous of your good work and wish to replace you. May be your co-administrators understand that no else could do the job better than you. Congratulations for keeping them at bay.
I was delighted at your presence in "The Verdict" Program on NDTV 24X7 at the first place. Second for your stupendous answers to the questions that were iced against you. You handled it with ease. Have never seen such a cool head for a long time or may be I am not watching these kind of shows that often.
Coming to my amuse of how DDCA is so well-managed, a few studs that I remember I recall. Firstly it was a Delhi based lawyer who wanted to know why much money was spent on liqour and not on facilities. Obviously he has no business asking this, that too through a petition in court under RTI. People do not realise the importance of social gathering and the importance of those who gather at those meetings. No right whatsoever can a cricket fan have over the affairs of the association or the Board.
Second, there were few matches where there 20000 persons left stranding outside the stadium for the match with valid tickets. Reason, which is good enough is that there were other valid tickets issued by the officials of DDCA. Validity is what we determine and not the fans.
Next, Sehwag threatening to move out of Delhi and other eminent players following suit for ill-administration at DDCA. No that cannot be said by a player. These players do not know how to run an administration. They pestering about it and with the MUSCLE power we can sort things as it was done, finally great cricketer made to surrender his ego.
Now, there is another climax. But the end I know for sure would be the same. You and Mr. Jaitley remaining in the DDCA as you are. Thank god that Delhi match was not the decider. I so perturbed that I do not want to speak anything else.
Once again so delighted at your blame shame today. Trying to find a scapegoat. Taking moral responsibility and downing from the DDCA pitches committee chairman. There was one statement that I would recall - "though I was not involved in the preparation of the pitch and I was supervising, I took moral responsibility and stepped down as chairman of Pitches committee of DDCA...". By the way, the chairman is responsible for the pitch that is prepared on behalf of the association. Chairman does not mean sitting in a chair and supervising. It is responsibility and not a moral one.
Hope to see you soon when the IPL season begins. Till then Best wishes for your efforts to make KOTLA pitch, a world class one.
With worst regards
Ravi Krishnan
