Innings break


Here I am, having completed the 1st inning of my test called life. Why I am saying 1st inning is over because somewhere in my mind I had decided to keep it as an innings break at thirties. And before I could go on start my second innings I would like to a moment and have a quick recap. Life has been a roller coaster ride for me there have been many highs and lows, many rises and falls, sometimes creeping like snail or sometimes running like a horse in the race course trying to leave others behind.  It has been an unimaginable journey for me so far.

Now when I look back and see where I started and where I am, Seriously speaking it was never on the cards  actually I don’t know what was exactly there on the cards so just take it as God’s will
Well talking about the first innings, it wasn’t that easy as it has never been the conditions remain testing, there are lot of bouncers upfront where we hardly know what to know except ducking it, there were very less chances to play shorts of your choice, have to bat according to the conditions and get yourself set. It has not been easy for me too to settle, have played some loose shots, lost my all-important wickets but survived somehow. Kept ticking and I guess it paid off as I believe cause nevertheless it has not been a bad first inning, doesn’t matter to what it appears to other people but for me if it’s not that good it couldn’t have been better cause in the end what matters is whether I personally enjoyed my innings or not. And I would say yes I did. Though it’s not as good as I would have liked it to be but again it can’t be also. So no regrets. Cheers to my first innings. Now I have to gear up for the all-important second innings of my life where I have to be more careful and need a more planned approach which was missing in the first innings.
