Mera Number kab aayega?

A saying goes, "it's tough to reach the top, but often times, it becomes even tougher to maintain that top position", Today this saying was defyed by the australians. They made team like South Africa seem like minnows in semo finals. I wondered an anti competetive law must be slapped on the australians for destroying the enthusiasm of the Semi Finals. It made me to ponder over the position of numero uno and how some companies make it look so simple to retain despite the competetion.

Intel has done it over the years and now i think AMD has gotten used to of it and would have stopped trying to even eye the market leader's position. Last year Mr Rahul Mittal must have taken a cue from the australians otherwise how can someone even think of aquiring its immediate rival and destroying the compitetion with such ease. Mittal steel now is undisputed leader and will remain so for decades to come.

Google might have given Bill sleepness nights but have not yet come out with a product in tussle with Microsoft Windows. Though standford graduates went a step ahead and changed the rules. They took Microsoft unaware abount the potential in the online market and captured the majority share in no time. Carefully planned aquisition of You tube has also helped them maintain health lead of microsoft which now seems unconquearable by any standards.

Enough has been said on leaders, while i was watching finals yesterday(it has been long i tried to complete my article) i noticed a perculiar thing at barbados. All the brands flaunting their logos on the grounds had major presence in India. Be it Hero Honda, Hutch(now Vodafone Hutch), Korean brand LG, and many mare were banking on Indian team putting atleast a respectable show at world cup. I feel sorry for them but a quick thought crosses my mind, all the money they bet on Indian cricket has be routed from our homes so we should rather be sorry for ourselves. God bless us......
