00:03What if you go to Brazil or Argentina?
00:05So is cricket a choice?
00:08Or is it rather an imposition of the circumstances?
00:13I'm asking you.
00:14You say you love cricket. Do you really love cricket?
00:17Love involves a very very conscious choice.
00:20If cricket has come to you only because you are born in a particular country,
00:24how is cricket a choice?
00:26Now cricket is some kind of helplessness, choicelessness.
00:32In general, you say I need to have the freedom to choose.
00:35The fact might be totally different.
00:38The fact might be that your choices do not indicate your freedom.
00:43Rather, they indicate your lack of freedom.
00:45Is it not more important to ask,

00:51Or must I ask, what do I choose next?
