Gregorian Chant is a rarely heard form of music nowadays but experienced live and in a medieval church, with the voices echoing from the stone walls, its beauty is like nothing else. More like prayer or meditation than music, it can help to connect you with the divine and with your own inner spirit, whether you are religious or not. Sit back, relax, and let time stand still.
The event is in two halves with refreshments in the interval, the first half being the Gregorian Chant and the second half being instrumental music from local musicians and / or community groups.

Bablake School Concert in Church THURSDAY 14th MARCH at 1.10pm
Mike Polanyk, the Visitor Liaison Officer of St Johns revealed the extent of this long relationship.
" We are talking hundreds of years of history here. Our beautiful collegiate church was founded by King Edward II's widow Isabella in 1344.
She endowed the Guild of St John with the Bablake land ( or Babbelak in Middle English) on which was founded the original St Johns chapel.
Through further royal patronage, the Bablake buildings extended into a school linked to a church, now known as St John's.
The school may have moved away, but their music programme is still held in our church every year, a custom which has continued since medieval times."
Bablake Music, under the guidance of group directors Mrs Cathy Scott - Burt, Ms Nicky Brass and Mr Stephen Cooper, will be performing free (with a retiring collection) at 1.10pm with three Ensembles.
The Senior String Ensemble will be performing the Capriol Suite - Peter Warlock, with Movements Basse - Danse, Pavane, Pieds -en - l'air, and Mattachins (Sword Dance).

Finally the Brass Ensemble perform Music from the Sixteenth Century - Villanella Giovanni by Gastoldi, The Earl of Salisbury's Pavan - William Boyd, ending with The Battle by Tilman Susato.
"I'm always happy to welcome Bablake Music to our medieval gem of a church. Their enthusiasm and standard of playing is a joy to behold." beamed Father Dexter Bracey, Rector of St John the Baptist.
Father Dexter is available for interviews.

The unique sculptures date from the time in the late 14th century when the great churches in Coventry losing pace with the Cathedral cities of York and Lincoln and Lichfield.
Visitor Liaison Officer Mike Polanyk believes it was an inspired piece of early marketing.
"The church authorities came up with a great piece of medieval spin, putting out a story that St George, whose reputation of being England's patron saint was flourishing due to his winning appearances via banners and shields on French battlefields,was born in Coventry!
Caludon Castle in fact!"
Mike admits it was a load of hokum, but chapels and statues were soon blossoming in the city!
Very few have survived, but those two in St Johns are in a very competant state.
These can be seen on St Georges Day as well the many other grotesques that are such a vibrant visual part of this beautiful church.

From a Post on Facebook late on 1st Oct
"To all who wondered why my #BlackDogCampaign #Camino posts stopped - the friend I went with and I ended up parting ways and he had the phone, so I have been incommunicado throughout. I will try to do something retrospectively - as I arrived in Santiago on Wednesday at 11.15 am a day and a half early an got back to Coventry Saturday afternoon (1 October). Still can't believe I did it!"
Ian, another member of our congregation is also on the 'Camino' but had to rest up for some days to recover from blisters, but is now back walking again. Last information is that he was near Saria, with 100 kilometres to go.

TCS bags $200m Mexico deal
The company's biggest outsourcing deal in Latin America, will be spread over four years, reports Venkatesh Ganesh.business Updated: Nov 15, 2007 21:30 IST
India's largest software exporter Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced that it had won a $200-million outsourcing contract from the Social Security Institute of Mexico (IMSS), which runs pensions, public health and social security for the Mexico government.
With over 370,000 employees, IMSS provides coverage to over 50 million Mexican citizens.
The deal, the company's largest ever deal in Latin America, would be spread over four years. TCS would maintain, manage and provide support for hardware and software related applications for IMSS and its affiliates across systems that run medical insurance, pensions, birth certificates and other services.
TCS won the contract following a public bid process and an assessment based on technology and financial parameters over three other leading global and local technology companies, a company release said.
Impressed by the level of technical education and skilled workforce in Latin America, Indian software companies have made a beeline to set up delivery centres in Latin America to service American as well as global clients.
Infosys set up The New Growth Engines' business unit recently to focus on countries in Latin America. Its centre at Monterrey, Mexico employs 1,000 people. Earlier this year, TCS also expanded its Mexican operations by setting up a global delivery centre in Guadalajara with plans to hire 500 people.
N. Chandrasekaran, executive director, TCS, said: "Mexico is emerging as a key market for TCS in Latin America." Its recent deals in Latin Ameica include those with ABN Amro Bank in Brazil, Registro Civil in Chile and Banco Pichincha in Ecuador.
Like TCS and Infosys, even BPO major Genpact set up a new facility at Juarez in Mexico in September. Companies say that apart from skilled technical manpower, another reason for companies seeking to aggressively expand in Latin America was its proximity to North America.
Pramod Bhasin, president & CEO, Genpact said: "This expansion is due to the positive response we're seeing from our North American and global clients who want high-quality and cost-effective solutions."
The growing Latin American economy and the quality of manpower coupled with rising wage costs here and growing client demands are forcing Indian companies to set up bases in South America," said Apurva Shah, IT analyst, Prabhudas Leeladhar.

Questions asked by suppliers
|Supplier question
|Buyer answer
|1. What are the current programme arrangements? Is there a team supporting and developing at present?
|The current support team, a mixture of civil servants and contracted managed service specialists, are due to finish providing support as this contract begins. There is some scope for hand-over of domain knowledge, but none for technical understanding, which will be required to be picked up from the available documentation.
|2. Is there a requirement for end user support?
|There is no requirement for end-user support. All user support is currently provided by the existing business service areas.
|3. Is the outcome outside IR35?
|Using the HMRC guidance, we have assessed the services required to meet the project deliverables and have deemed the requirements are outside IR35. Provided the Service Providers adhere to HMRC guidance then the consultants delivering the service should remain compliant with IR35 regulations.
|4. Given GDS's post live requirement is to run digital services to make sure they're sustainable in the long term and we keep improving them. so is the expectations for supplier to do UR/UX/Content changes etc or will there will be support from HomeOffice.
|We expect the successful supplier to be able to provide all the skills required to improve the service when requested. This may include the need for User Research, Interaction Design and Content Design. The cost of each of these skills should be detailed within the rate card.
|5. Without having sight of the delivery roadmap it is difficult to ascertain the size of Agile development team required. Are you able to provide an indication based on current numbers?
This current demand for support is being covered by a team of 1.5 developers and a tester.
There is no current roadmap for development. We are asking for a rate card for the skills that would be necessary to carry out any service improvement work as/when it is identified.
|6. Within the opportunity evaluation guidance, the technical competence score has a 74% weighting. There seems to be a final question here which is "Weighting for Essential Skills and Experience is 24%" Please can you clarify that this question should read 74%, whether this needs an answer, or where the further 50% will come from Thank you
|Apologies, this 'essential skill' is just advisory and won't be scored. Please just respond positively but don't provide a 100 word response. The technical weighting is split across the essential skills (24%) and the proposal (50%). The 50% weighting will be spread across the proposal criteria during stage 2.

Enclosure: William Short to Gouverneur Morris, 26 October 1792
William Short to Gouverneur Morris5
The Hague Oct 26 1792
Dear Sir
After more than four weeks interruption some of the French mails in arrear were recieved here yesterday & we had hoped therefore that this day, being the regular postday, would have brought us the rest—in this we have been disappointed, & of course conclude that the post communication with Paris is not yet freed from all its obstacles. I therefore send by the way of England my acknowlegement of such of your letters as were recieved yesterday—viz. those dated Sep. 20.–23–24–& 27.
In answer to them I must promise that you cannot desire more ardently than I do the end of our correspondence on the subject in question. I had hoped it would have taken place long ago; & it seems to me a very little effort on your part would have done it—if instead of determining all at once to take no further step in the late payment, you had simply taken the trouble to see that the commissaries gave the U.S. credit for the six millions of livres for which you had agreed & which was a matter altogether between you & them—of course out of my reach & incapable of being settled in Amsterdam. All that could be done there, was done, that is to say the sum you mention in florins was paid & to the persons you desired. Whether the evidence of this payment being effected was a reciept or a bill or any thing else I suppose very immaterial to your arrangement with the commissaries—but it is by no means immaterial to the U.S. that this payment should remain expressed in florins instead of livres. & this for reasons so evident & so often mentioned that I will not fatigue you with repeating them.
I suppose you will dispense me also from examining what mode of effecting this payment would have been best under all the supposable contingencies of French affairs. It is a discussion that would at present be at least useless as to the present affair. I cannot help however observing that I do not pretend to be skilled in futurity, & particularly in matters where so many interests & so many agents out of my knowlege are concerned. I can only see objects which are present & conjecture as to things which are to follow. Whatever may have happened since or may happen in future, yet I think the conjecture which dictated the kind of reciept which I desired from Hogguer,6 was the most simple at that time & I repeat that I have not the gift of seeing into futurity. I should mention however that there was an error in my expression to you on this subject & that my intention was that it should be expressed as being on account of the debt due à la France & to be held (the payment) at the disposition of H. M. C. Majesty. It is true this latter part was not precisely the expression of the day—but it was an inaccuracy which would have been easily forgiven by any succeeding government, as would also, I still imagine, the nature of the reciept required. And this it appeared to me was the point to be obtained—viz. to make the payment so as to stop the interest on six millions of livres & to make it so as that hereafter neither the U.S. nor their agents should be blamed. I hardly think it would have been a disagreeable thing to the government with whom the final settlement should be made to find this sum in the hands of their agents and at that time it might have been expected that this settlement might be made without a very great delay or that the U.S. might have given the orders they judged proper.
Now as to the delay which took place between the time of your agreeing with the commissaries & of the payment made, & which you seem to think denatured the operation—I have already mentioned to you that your letters of the 6th. & 9th. of August were recieved at the same time & by what means, being brought by the same post, they did not get to my hands until the 17th. And as I have said above that I have not the gift of seeing into futurity I must say here I have not the spirit of divination & therefore could not know here before recieving your letter what you had done at Paris. Of course the delay of the month stated by you is not wholly to be attributed to me but only from the 17th. to the 4th. How many days delay you could consider as changing the nature of the affair I cannot say—but you certainly did consider some delay as optional without this risk since you said the bankers in order to avoid the rise of agio might make the payment at their liesure. On the 17th. I gave the orders to the bankers which were reiterated the 19th. Hogguer begged for time to consider of the offer made—our bankers7 supposed he wrote to Paris for orders—whether he did or not that part of the delay came from him—& when he gave his answer the rest was consumed in letters going & coming between this & Amsterdam, in the hopes of our bankers being able to settle some mode of payment which should avoid the danger I so much apprehended—& I hoped by every post also to recieve more & more information from you, relying really & absolutely on your judgment in this business. On the 4th. of Sep. I recieved yours of the 27th. of Aug. & the same day directed the payment. I think then from the nature of the case & from the expressions of your letters the delay wch. took place cannot be considered either by you or any body else as denaturing it.
Another principle of change which you mention as having been introduced by my doubting, is the bill instead of a reciept or no reciept at all.8 Now here is a distinction in which there may be a difference but I must own I do not see it—& whether so or not I am entirely innocent; & even if no suspension had taken place of the King or of the payment still this same unfortunate bill would have existed—that being the mode as I am informed which our bankers have constantly used with the French in the payments made at Amsterdam. My usage has been to give them the orders to make the payments, sometimes by remittances—sometimes by payments to the French agents according to the desire of the French government—in both cases I did nothing more than give the orders—leaving the moyens d'execution to the bankers supposing them better acquainted with such things than myself—& never enquiring whether it was by entry, reciept, bill, bond or what. Of course when you desired me to direct the payment of f 1,62,5000—& I the bankers, supposing there had been no difficulty as to the suspension, they would have done on the 17th. of Aug. precisely what they did on the 5th. of september. The same doubt as to its being the same payment you had stipulated, would therefore have existed in both cases if it can exist in either. I should have supposed that you would have considered it worth while therefore to see that no doubt should be left, by taking the trouble to satisfy yourself that the U.S. were credited on the books of the treasury for six millions of livres—which was all that was necessary as it can hardly be supposed they will credit the U.S. both for the 6. millions of livres & the 1,625m florins. Your seeing to this consummation of the arrangement appears so natural (& particularly if you concieved the bill instead of a receipt or no receipt introduced doubts as to its identity) that I should have thought you would not have failed to have done it, had there been no suspension—& had you done it in the case of the suspension, you see my dear Sir that you would have saved yourself much ennui & importunity & me much trouble.
So much for the operation being denatured by delay or by the bill. Without enquiring further into this subject I rely on its being susceptible of no question which wd. not equally have existed had that payment (which you said the bankers might make at their liesure) been readily made. And as in this case you say there can be no difficulty, whether there be change or no change & whether the acts be valid or annulled, I shall repose on your better judgment & hope there will be none.
I should think this still more certain if you would simply take the trouble to remove the doubts of the commissaries if they have any as to this being the identical payment you had stipulated & to see that the U.S. are credited for 6,000,000 ₶. Who my dear Sir can do this so well as yourself? Who else in fact can do it all? I cannot concieve from whence your aversion comes. I have sollicited you in every manner in my power not to leave the matter to future discussion. When the bills were enclosed to you one word from you would have sufficed in presenting these bills—& at that time I did not think there was a moment to be lost & therefore pressed you in the manner I did. I renew here my intreaty that you should put this matter out of doubt. Had you taken no step in it I should have supposed you would do this for the interest & satisfaction of the U.S.—but in a business where you alone have acted with the commissaries—where you alone can remove their doubts if they chuse to have any, where you alone can see the florins converted actually into the livres you agreed for, I repeat it again, I cannot & never could concieve your reason for refusing to do it, & thus risk future discussion.
I shall desire our bankers to write by the next post to the commissaries as you suggest in your letter of the 27th. of Sept. for greater certainty in preventing their giving the U.S. a double credit for the same payment.
I shall not write to the commissaries another letter; the object of that which I inclosed to you was to effect what I wished in the case of your persisting in taking no further step in the business, & there being as I feared then not time enough left to write after recieving your answer. I flatter myself you will for the interest of the U.S. take the last, & as it appears to me, not an inconvenient, step, to have the florins converted into livres according to your stipulation & carried to the credit. I do not consider this as a deviation from what you think proper to be done viz. to adhere to the original nature & form of the present payment, but the seeing that that nature & form is adhered to by the commissaries. On no other consideration would I have ordered a payment to be made & expressed in florins than the certainty of their value in livres being previously fixed or the standard for fixing it agreed on—& this was an invariable rule with me.
I thought I had formerly sufficiently explained my wishes as to what you call certain other things to be done with the same persons whose authority I deny. My desire was that at a future period when the day of settlement for past payments depreciation &c. came—there should be the fewest questions possible & the business the most possibly in the hands of the U.S. Now to avoid questions it seems to me the first thing is to simplify the subjects as much as possible. The whole of this chapter may be resolved therefore into one simple question to which I leave you the answer. Would this business be more simple & more in the hands of the U.S. if there were book accts. & the obligations paid off still remaining in the treasury or if the only such obligations remained as were still unpaid? I had thought in this latter case the acct. would be more simple & the affair of depreciation more absolutely in the power of the U.S.
I thought another thing also in which it seems from your letters that I was mistaken, & which of course puts an end to this part of the subject; so that I must ask you to regard what I have said on it as an impertinent trouble which I have given you. I had thought I know not why, but supposed I had seen it in the resolves of Congress that the reciepts constituting the debt were for much smaller sums—if they are as you state them only in three, nothing of course can be done of the nature I proposed. I intended to have answered another part of your letters but having been interrupted by persons who have detained me until the hour of the post I must defer it until my next—assuring you at present that I am my dear Sir,
truly yours

I have worn my fair share of whites, brights, floral prints, pastels, and lightweight cotton and linen this summer. I am ready for some deep, rich autumn shades, weightier fabrics and layers even if the weather isn't – or not yet anyway.
Stella Carakasi came out with their newest collection, Early Fall 2017, a few days ago and I instantly fell in love with two colors featured prominently in the collection: Caper and Pimento.
Caper is a dark olive green shade and Pimento is a red rust color. I have been told since I was kid that olive greens and deep reds are flattering for my skin tone and hair color. I happen to agree and am excited to see these colors trending this fall.
From the Early Fall Collection, I'm wearing the Stay Loose Cropped Sweater which I layered with the Live In It Tank, both in Pimento. For pants, I wore Elite Cropped Pants in Caper.
The pants are unbelievably soft, made with Stella Carakasi's Natural Lux™ organic cotton French terry. I could wear these pants everyday and will definitely be taking them to France with me next month along with the sweater and tank.
I love the way the Pimento and Caper colors complement each other so naturally. And they go nicely with tawny brown and cognac too.
I styled my fall outfit with my favorite fall hat – an Australian outback hat from Montecristi Panama Hats of Napa Valley– and block-heeled sandals (similar).
I added a statement necklaceI have been wearing often. Last fall I bought this stunning stone pendant and work of art from my friend and jewelry artist Michelle Hoting. It originally had a rose-gold toned chain attached but I decided I wanted something heavier and bolder to complement its size.
I reached out to my friend Julie of KayandStar to see if she'd be willing to come up with new design using beads. To my delight, she was eager to help so I sent it off to her. Weeks later, she mailed it back and this is how it looks. I absolutely love it! It feels very "me" and I will cherish and wear it often. I especially love that it was made by two creative, brilliant and talented women I adore and admire.
Will you be wearing Caper and Pimento shades this fall season?

September's How I Wear My is happening next week! Jill and I decided to close out the summer with one last warm weather theme: Straw!
To join in the fashion fun, send us a photo showing us how you wear "Straw" and be sure to include a description of your look and link to your blog or Instagram account, if you have one. Send it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com by the end of the day on September 11th.

Mystery of the ancient Maya
By Jack Souther
From the top of the Castillo, 91 stone steps above the floor of the Plaza, we have a priests-eye view of the once great Maya city of Chichen Itza the Observatory, the Nunnery, the Temple of Warriors. In all the remains of 50 stone structures scattered over an area of six square kilometres. Beyond the ruins, the jungle-covered surface of the Yucatan Peninsula extends to the horizon in every direction.
The Castillo, where we are standing, is a magnificent four-sided pyramid topped by a small temple bearing the carved mask of the god of rain. It is 24 metres high and, like all of the other structures below us, constructed of closely fitted limestone blocks, each quarried, shaped, transported, and lifted into place by hand. But why here? The northern Yucatan Peninsula is a low, utterly flat limestone platform with only a thin layer of soil and no surface rivers. Even the jungle seems uninviting, a tangled mat of water-starved scrub trees and vines. Yet this is where the Maya people built, not only impressive stone monuments, but one of the richest and most advanced cultures in pre Columbian America.
Before our trip to Chichen Itza we spent a day exploring the walled ruins at Tulum, one of the few Maya settlements on the Caribbean Coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The present paved road between the two ancient communities follows much the same route as that used by early Maya traders. Our air-conditioned bus took about three hours to cover the distance. How long, I wondered, did it take those early merchants to make the trip, on foot in the sweltering jungle heat? They had neither the wheel nor any domestic beasts of burden everything had to be carried on the backs of human bearers.
Archaeologists and anthropologists have learned a great deal about the Maya culture which flourished in Middle America for over a thousand years, but much of its history is still shrouded in mystery. The first hunter-gatherers are believed to have moved into the Yucatan Peninsula about 11,000 years ago, when British Columbia was just emerging from the last ice age. By 1000 BC these people, who would later become the Maya, had learned agriculture and begun to build villages. They were strongly influenced by the Olmecs who inhabited the swampy lowlands of the Gulf Coast. The Olmec built the first great civilization to arise in Meso-America and it became the template for the structure and symbolism of Maya society.
Olmec influence was gradually modified and, during the Classic Period (AD 200-900), a distinct Maya culture evolved and spread throughout the Yucatan and adjacent parts of Middle America. Small tribal groups were organized into states that ultimately grew into kingdoms with highly stratified social structures. The kings, who called themselves "ahau," were regarded as living gods divine shamans who operated in both the material and supernatural world. They surrounded themselves with a privileged class of priests and lords who held jurisdiction over thousands of lesser subjects in each of the city-states. At its height Maya civilization was organized into more than 50 independent kingdoms scattered over an area of 250,000 square kilometres. It was a world defined by religion and ritual where physical surroundings were seen as manifestations of the spiritual and supernatural.

Chicks in our chapel
In August 2017, as part of a Spiritual Care project, quail eggs were incubated and hatched. We were overwhelmed by the response from our young people, families, and staff who all felt part of the journey of our chicks, which brought joy, love and hope.
Last Easter (2018) our project grew and after three weeks with us our hen chicks hatched on Good Friday to great excitement from the many people, young and old, that got involved across our Trust.
Take a look at last year's video:
We're delighted to be doing it again once again this year, hoping to lift even more spirits along the way. This year, our chicks will be hatching a day earlier (Maundy Thursday)
Although it's a lot of fun, there are a number of reasons why this project is so important to us. Our aims are to:
- Give children, families and staff the opportunity to see new life birthing in the hospital and, in doing so, bring hope
- Offer the opportunity for reflection on a number of different aspects of our lives at the Children's Hospital, including waiting, patience, excitement, sadness, love, touch and hope
- Engage and support spirituality such as meaning making, connection, hope, lifting spirits
- Provide a safe space to explore disappointments, sadness, loss (such as incubated eggs not hatching, or young chicks not being strong enough to survive)
- Allow a natural reflection of the faith we each have – in God or a significant other
- Provide a sense of belonging – these are our chicks
- Offer a sense of safety – a place where the chicks may be held. Animals are a great source of bringing hope and love to a place
- Give children, who are often in beds for long time or in wheelchairs, an opportunity to experience the usual human touch and adults an opportunity to receive some hope
- Provide a 'together' space, where all know they are welcomed and may come to meet with others perhaps they had not talked to before
- Provide an avenue of pure fun for children, families and staff
- Allow chance for children's voices to be heard, in the chick visiting book and other activities
- Provide opportunities for fun activities in the Chapel and beyond.
Take a look at our aims in video format:
We'll be updating this page regularly so please keep checking back.

Find out how the chicks can help with having difficult conversations
The future of our chicks
All of our chick babies will have good homes to go to at the end of the project, which was incredibly important for us to arrange before we started the incubation. We'll post photos of where they will be homed at a later date.

As the hype surrounding Sachin Tendulkar's retirement reaches a crescendo, Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Wednesday said the senior batsman should simply "enjoy his last Test match to the fullest" as there are "no guarantees" of a fairytale hundred that all his fans are hoping for.
As India get set to take on the West Indies in the second and final Test, Dhoni found himself questioned relentlessly on just one man -- Tendulkar, who would be retiring at the end of it.
"I would like him (Tendulkar) to enjoy his last Test match. As much as you want him to score hundred, double hundred or triple hundred, you can't guarantee performance," Dhoni said in a very practical reply to one of the innumerable questions he answered about the retiring legend in the pre-match press conference today.
But Dhoni certainly wants Tendulkar, the 'Man with Golden Arm' to get a few breakthroughs.
"Since this is his last Test match, I would like him to enjoy to the fullest and may be get a few wickets for us. That will be fun as one expects some turn and bounce from the wicket," Dhoni said.
It was inevitable that all questions were directly or indirectly related to Tendulkar but Dhoni again stressed that "focus was on the match" as there was "no point talking about the distractions".
"It will be one of the greatest matches in cricketing history but as it is his last game, we need to keep it as normal as possible. There are plenty of things going around. We have done our best to keep focus at the right place. For us, enjoying the moment is the key," the skipper said.
The most appealing aspect of Tendulkar's 24-year-journey, according to Dhoni, is how he handled success.
"With due respect to the greats of earlier generation, they didn't have to face the kind of pressure Tendulkar faced. It was not only about his success but how he handled it in all these years.
"I have seen a lot of foreign players who can handle on-field success but when it came to handling the off-field pressure, they buckle down. That's what makes Tendulkar special."
Dhoni also said that there has been no visible change in the maestro's body language and the team members also want to keep it as simple as possible.
"If you ask about the body language, I have not seen any change. As far as doing anything special is concerned, we would like to keep things simple. As it is, everyone is trying to do something special. We do have a few things on our mind.
But you guys need to wait and concentrate on the match," the skipper said in jest.
Talk about whether the transition phase is complete and the Gen-Next is ready to survive the rigours on foreign soil, Dhoni gave a pointed reply.
"Taiyari toh main yehaan pe India mein khelke bata nahin sakta. Woh to tab pata chalega jab yeh log bahaar khelne jayenge. (I can't talk about how prepared they are playing in India. It will only be proved once they play abroad)."
"You can't have a replacement for Sachin Tendulkar or a Rahul Dravid. But you have to accept these youngsters at face value. They will have their own characters. A Virat Kohli should play as Virat Kohli. A Cheteshwar Pujara irrespective of how he bats would bring a different character to the team," Dhoni explained.
Dhoni believes that if Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman "brought colour to the team", the new crop of players will "bring a different set of colours".
"It's not that cricket won't remain colourful. New players will bring new colours. You can't expect the new generation to bring the same colour that Tendulkar, Ganguly or VVS brought. These youngsters will also bring a lot of colour to the side."
"It's no wonder that for any cricketer, it was a privilege to share the field and dressing room with Tendulkar and Dhoni feels that he is blessed.
"I played 8-10 years with him. He guided the youngsters and showed us how to perform under pressure. The most emotional moment with him was winning the World Cup. The boys found it difficult to control their emotions. I have spent quite a number of Diwalis with him on various tours. We burst crackers together," Dhoni recollected.
Dhoni had some words of encouragement for the West Indies team who were pathetic in the opening Test that ended in three days.
"It's not fair to judge them on the basis of one match. They have some really good players and some quality fast bowlers."
Dhoni said that Mohammed Shami's deadly reverse swing was the reason for the Kolkata Test ending inside three days as the "pitch didn't look like one that would have a match end in three days".
On the Wankhede strip, Dhoni's assessment was "It's still a little damp. One will only get a feel before the match tomorrow."
Dhoni is also not keen with the idea of releasing Ajinkya Rahane and Ishant Sharma for the Ranji Trophy 'derby' between Delhi and Mumbai being played at the Bandra Kurla Complex ground (BKC).
"If we release one player, then other state associations will say that why not release my player and ideally you don't want to get into that situation. Also, we need a good fielder if someone goes out.
"Also for the bowlers, the first XI bowlers don't like to bowl in the nets during match days so the batsman would ideally like to face a good bowler."

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to stay the Allahabad High Court order that referred to the arbitration on a dispute between Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) and Jaypee Infratech over payment of enhanced compensation to land owners. Land was acquired for the construction of the Yamuna Expressway, a Special Development Zone and land for development by the Jaypee group, from more than 10,000 farmers from several villages falling in the YEIDA area. The land owners have to be given enhanced compensation for 2,500 hectares of land in five parcels. According to the YEIDA, it has to collect more than Rs 2,500 crore from the company towards this enhanced compensation. A bench headed by Justice AK Sikri rejected YEIDA's plea to stay the HC order and asked it to raise all its contention before the arbitrator.
Challenging the HC order, the authority told the SC that the HC had erred in law by referring the dispute to arbitration as Jaypee had sought quashing of the government order of May 2014 that raised the demand of Rs 2,500 crore from the developer. YEIDA alleged that this is an "abuse of process of law" by the developer as no arbitration clause in the agreement exists between it and the developer and even no consent was given either by it or the state government for arbitration. The authority contended that in the Gajraj Singh case, the Supreme Court had in May 2015 enhanced compensation to land owners.
Therefore, because of this judgment, land owners were entitled for the additional 64.7% compensation, which must be paid by the Jaypee Infratech.
The High Court had in November last year referred the dispute to arbitration after the developer had challenged YEIDA's demand notice for enhanced compensation. Jaypee had argued that it was not entitled to pay money to the land owners as it had already paid the amount as per its agreement with the authority.
