Cricket Again

Last time I talked about this and left the topic incomplete. And I don’t assure you to complete it this time. The last time I talked I said Cricket as a religion in India. And if it’s religion then Sachin is GOD. I thought of writing about cricket due to ongoing DLF cricket league. This is certainly heating up cricket fans.

This league started on 18th April. And I’m writing about this today. Almost 10 days later. Reason?? There is no reason for that. Just because I like to do things late and I’m a lazy person. You should call yourself lucky that you are reading this 10 days late. It could have been after the tournament. Let it be. Back to the topic.

The very hyped tournament made a good start and is gathering good crowd. It is also creating lot of controversies also. But these are necessary to get the limelight and selling of tickets. Cricket is going through a change that I don’t admire. The format of the games is 20-20. And there is no cricket involved here. It’s just murder of cricket. I see half-nude cheer girls, cheering after every wicket or boundary. I never expected such thing in India and in Cricket.

I cannot call 20-20 as cricket format. In this format there is nothing to play. Just get to the pitch and play with horizontal bat with as much power you can. That’s simple. I was amazed to see centuries being scored in 20 overs. And the balls taken for centuries were around 50 balls. There have been 200+ scores in 20 overs. There is rain or say tsunami of fours and sixes. This is certainly not cricket.

Why I’m talking about cricket when I don’t watch it much or don’t like it much. i don’t like cricket, But as a sports lover I love all sports. And don’t like things which removes the charm and the class of the sport. This murder of cricket will continue till 1st June. I watched 2-3 matches in my free time. Though eye soothing it was not worth watching.

Will continue writing about this..

The Garbage Within


One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport .
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car
jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi
driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other
car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his
head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just
smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really
friendly.

So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined
your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi
driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage
Truck.”

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They
run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of
anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up,
they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on
you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them
well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to
other people at work, at home or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage
trucks take over their day. Life’s too short to wake up in the
morning with regrets, so….. “Love the people who treat you
right.. Pray for the ones who don’t.”

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how
you take it!

These days I’m getting good dose of such stories in my inbox. So I just thought that I’ll put them here and write my point of view. I completely agree with what the driver said and did. But it’s very difficult to apply in real life. It’s difficult but not impossible. A sincere try always works. I’m a cool headed person most of the time. So I already do this. But not all the time. And I’m trying..

Poor People

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered:
“I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night…
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.”

The boy’s father was speechless.
Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

It all depends on how we look at things. There is always some positive in the negative. We have to find it and realize it. That can make a huge difference in our lives. It takes some effort to do it. But it’s worth.

Everyday I want to fly


Everyday I want to fly stay by my side…
Everyday I want to dream stay by my side…

Every morning I wish I could just play….
Wish the mornings would just stay..

I just loved this lines. This describes my day. I’m a day dreamer. yes you can say that. Dreaming in the day is my need. I cannot afford to dream during night. Hmmmmmmm..

I’ve to sleep at that time. 😀

Unlike common and normal peoples, I don’t like to dream and spoil my sleep. Some dreams can act like sleeping pills. I know that because I’ve done that. There were times when I was unable to sleep. And I dreamed of what I want to be. It’s superhuman and out of the world. I’ll tell you all about that someday. The time has not arrived. And after dreaming about being superhuman, I sleep within 3-4 minutes. So sad that I can be superhuman for a short time.

The lines at the start of the post are not mine. How can I write something great like that. I don’t know who wrote it. But I saw this ad of vodafone where in background music this music was being played. You can get the tone at below link.

Friends

I miss them a lot. It’s really been days since I’ve been with my friends. I’m almost out of touch. I don’t know where they are, how they are. What they do and what they don’t (thats none of my business). The whole point is I miss them. I’m busy these days and I’m sure my friends will be. But then is that reason to be out of touch??

I think so. Earlier I used to be in touch with the messages and the calls and the missed calls. There used to be meetings and visits. But life has it’s own rules which makes our friends depart. Seriously speaking I, for the first time in my life feel, I need a friend. I’ve never been in a situation like this.

The need for friends is not unusual. I have always been surrounded by friends and family. Family is still with me. But the friends are disappearing. And there is a whole lot of space around me begging to be filled. The positive thing is that I’m getting new friends at my job. But that won’t make up for the one which you already have.

Oh!! I forgot. I do forget….

Friends here is in physical. I’ve lot of friends online. But I love friends offline. Now thats enough of dose for you guys. Now get back to work or start finding friends..
