Playing single wicket…


Somewhere I read an article titled  'Cricket teaches us all about life'. After giving a thought on that I realized yes it does, It may look like a pretty simply game with lots of weird rules but It certainly holds all  those vital aspects that are needed to be taken care of for playing a good innings of life, This blog-post I dedicate to my cricketing passion, that's been there with me more for than anything else. I try to translate real life happenings in cricketing term, let’s see how relevant it turns out to be.

Well, getting the experiences of playing in different grounds, different conditions, against different opponents and with different team mates. I have reached  to a point where I prefer playing single wicket instead of a team game and having partners to rely on, which in turn becomes very critical at some situations. Playing single wicket reduces the chances of getting out by far, at least you wont get out for the mistakes of your partner, unnecessary building pressure and risky calls many a times lead you to the pavilion. While playing in team, many times dispute causes individual games which may cause sightless playing without any target. Playing single wicket is the best way of scoring runs, just rely on your own abilities and play through the defence system of the opponent.

Playing safe is okay but taking  calculated risk is also very important, At times It becomes necessary to take the aerial-route and score some quick runs, Don’t let the bowlers think of our weaknesses, taking calculated risk is a skill in any game and very decisive to make your final score to pump up. Still while taking risk  beware of  getting Hit wicket or Stumped, Some times while playing inside the crease we tend to come too close to the stump and eventually hit our own stump and get out. Don’t go too far of your crease though that in turn makes it difficult to get back in time hence we could be stumped.
Playing single wicket looks appealing and appropriate at any level, just keep all the rules in mind and  play a  long innings, always keep the spirit of the game alive and entertain the crowd…
Play well !!

Brain Drain….with lol


Well, ever heard of a brain drain? Experiencing it for past few weeks, its been comic act for some very serious situations, quite an unusual experience for one of the friend that has put us in this brain drain kind of situation, When people get sheer disappointment in terms of their expectations.
when  things go out of reach, beyond the expectation and all logic fail, All we can do is to say, hmm aaisa bhi hota hai !!! 
His story will always be a reminder for me that how worse things could be, If we can not limit our own beliefs.

I do not think It is ethically correct to disclose everything what has happened with him, having taken his permission, Just to make a mark of the things that have caused brain drain to us. It’s like…well I do not think I like or I could go anyway near to express it in my way because that would tempt me to be in that scenario which I do not think I could ever imagine for myself.  Pretty much filmy, the way things turned out  to be, a  tragic end to his relationship. But on serious note, playing a third party character, I could always manage to have a laugh at things happening…It’s all about the keeping emotions intact, Its all about being true to yourself, moreover it’s all about coming out of the virtual world and accepting the reality!

Along with this drama, we step into a new session of work, things go different with different work plans, new environment, they call it the smart classes, lets see how smartly things could be done, meanwhile having exams ahead, its crucial for me to work accordingly for next few weeks…
May God Bless !!!
