What is Public Memory?

Well, sixty days ago, there were protests demanding the axing of Ganguly from the Indian Cricket team over his slackening performance. Somehow, he was dropped and luckily for him, he regained his form and thanks to some aggresive Kolkata protestors including Abhijit Das, Mr Arani Bakshi and one particular Khullar (whose mother was a Chatterjee) whose article I read in the newspaper, he was back in the team. He scored a measly 40 &39, but was dropped. His Kolkata freak fans saw that it was better than what Gambhir scored (who regained his spot in Ahmedabad, while Ganguly was dropped), and they aroused a sympathy waves in the country stronger than the relief efforts for last years' tsunami. Well he's back now in his team though his roller coaster ride is far from over. Who knows what path the 'great public opinion' will take over the next few months. Meanwhile I can just say, Congrats Abhijit and Mr Bakshi and the (possibly?) distant relative of Mr Cooler.
