Crickets and cricket

All of us have read and learned by heart the story of the ant and the cricket. Just to remind you the background of the story I briefly tell you that there was an ant and a cricket. They lived perhaps in a garden, although they could have lived on a stem or even on a branch of a bush, any how the narrator of the fable had told us that they used to live in a garden, so we have no right to alter their residence! The assiduous ant worked day and night to fill her house. You can argue about the ant’s house but she used to live there in one. She spent the spring season in collecting the food for the rainy days. It seems some what true because we know that there are only two species on the face of the earth that store food or eatables; that are humans and ants. On the other hand the cricket engaged himself in singing, yes; the narrator tells us the same. Every body knows that the crickets only make a dreadful noise but the learned writer had described his noise as songs so we are obliged to say that he remained singing sweet songs all over the spring season, as was his natural instincts. He could not store the food for the winter and in the end was in danger to starve when the ant saved his life.

The fable of the cricket reminds me the cricket of the ICC-the game. Cricket, the game is like the cricket of the fable and is conceited enough due to its sweet songs and popularity. It is not aware of the coming winter. The ant of capitalism and show biz has capitalized and shown great business of collecting the fame and fortune right beneath the nose of cricket. The cricket is unaware of the fact that the ants are never the donor. They are only the collector and accumulators. Whosoever sees towards their heap of matter they bite and cling to it? And they never let him go with an iota of their food. It is a great time for the organizers of the LEAGUE CRICKET and the 20 twenty cups to look through the planning of the ants and shun the vanity that they are the source of the matter for ants. If the situation remains the same ,the days are not far when they would be in the mouth of the ants and they would be dragging them to their so called house.
