At this right moment i have completed 9116 days, 218784 hours, 13127040 minutes, 787622400 seconds on this damn beautiful earth !!
Well the topic of this blog gives you a clear idea on the writings to follow in this posting. yeah...fortunately or unfortunately...i have had few dreams gone past without creating an impact on me in my real life...So....is it wise enuf to regret on wat has hapnd??or is it wise enuf to accept the reality in ur dreams being crucified???....well i think it shud be the later one...
I dont remember me setting up any dreams or goals till my age of 15...hmmm....but few does set up goals by being matured at that age...and if u notice they hav reached it too!!
My very first matured dream was to shine professionally in cricket...and that came a bit late....People might say that this dream has become pretty common after the sport hitting sky high popularities....but in my case it was different...i did shed my sweat and blood into it for more than 9 yrs..and i did see some light at the end of the tunnel...but the earth shook and the tunnel got closed wen i injured my shoulder....and incidentally that became the ideal time for me to take over responsibilities from my dads shoulders...so that time i had to take a decision....which is still weighing heavy at the bottom of my heart!!!
As i said one should not regret in accepting the facts of his life even if his personal dreams are bouldered....but i know how tough it is for one to forego something which has been a daily dream which was associated with him for over 9 yrs...
Eventhough the dream are crushed...it has left a lot of sweet memoirs in me....which i can relish feeling at any point of time in my life..... The Friendships which i got in those 9 yrs will be rated on top of all achievements which i gained, the day where i went to see my coach to join the camp, the smell of the grass while play, early morning hungry stomach, those bun jam for the hungry tummy, the wounds... scratches and swellings, Foreshore estate bus-stop on saturdays and sunday morning with my best buddy, Long tideous drive with 100 other ppl in the bus, Our kitbags making fellow passengers say...AAhhh and Ouch, Late evening chat at the ground with a tired body, waiting for the less populated bus, Kodaikanal tour for a tournament, the on-field happenings, the shoutings and appreciations from my coach............ still smells like a fresh paint which coloured my yester years!!
It hurts me more when i feel i couldnt pursue it further even after getting accolades from my coaches and friends. If they had told me in the begining that i cant shine as a cricketer, i dont think i would have got hurt this bad!!!
Anyways, on a lighter note, I am back on the field now, this time with my favourite players in the world...Well its not Mark Waugh or Sachin or Rahul...its Srikumar, Rajesh, Prakash, Sarukku, Sundar, Matty, Kuppai, Aadu, Appu, Shiva, Bhai....hehehe....They all are my superstars....My schoolmates....And most importantly....... I AM HAVING FUN!!!!
Well...those above mentioned hours, minutes and seconds would have got changed, but the memories doesnt!!!! So..Kick the guy who said "Change is inevitable" !!!
