About 7 to 8 blogposts were written over a time span of a month or two and then thrown in the "draft" folder.. Only few could make it..
Others lay there like textual zombies feeding on the very words they were made up of.
I think, I am slowly but surely losing my ability to 'click' on the 'publish' button and/or my ability to write, which was anyway negligible.

My fate and that of the Indian Cricket Team ..seems to be undergoing the same phase..
Huge achievement followed by a grotesque defeat. A defeat which is making them question themselves, doubt their worth.. Dhoni knows that he isn't this bad and is sure that his team is definitely not this bad either. He wants to let the world know about this. He wants to scream, (I bet)..that they are deservedly the best.

He even has the proof. T20 World Champions. Test Ranking numero uno, 2 Time IPL champion. And the biggie.. World Cup 2011.
And yet just one bad test series has marred everything off. That easily.
Everything, from every piece of hardwork in the nets and on the field, every drop of sweat and blood lost for these many years, every reward brought, every smile he put on the faces of a billion people.. all gone or turned into mockery..
All that will be remembered is 4 - nil.
The feeling of alienation by people is psychologically damaging.
I know, I have been there.. I am still there :p
Sirf ek mistake.. Bas ek mistake aadmi ko khallas kardeta hai..(Just one mistake kills the man).. no matter how colorfully painted your past was..All that would matter is the bottomline.

| When.. no matter what you do, everything/everyone seems against you.. |
Now that the English have almost annihilated Team India, they would probably leech as much as they can on our weaknesses in the ODI as well.
Coz thats what many people do.. screw things up for others and then derive rewards/pleasures from it, consciously or unconsciously..
All you have to do is to wait and keep trying. And your time WILL come..
the wait wouldn't be long..coz the past that you have painted was truthful, it was from your heart.
During all this 'waiting' time you will be confused, do or say things that you didn't even mean to do/say.. You may be pointed to and laughed at, at the vulnerability.. at how easily you could be broken down.. how easily whatever you built with blood,sweat and tears could be taken away from you.. just like that..

But all that sweat, all that muscle tear, all that energy lost.. shall pay off soon..
Trust me, the force will be with you..and hopefully .. with me too. :p
We shall overcome.. we shall overcome some day..
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
Hum honge kaameeyaab ek deen.. =)

Cricket isn't 'just' a game, its a way of life.
Those who disagree, may fhakh off.
P.S:For some unknown reasons, I day dreamed about MSDhoni reading my blog
I prolly need a rehab. I am going way too far with imaginations..
Porn star with three tits is one thing.. but MSDhoni reading my blog is.. just.. weird. =/

not that I care about cricket, cos I dont, really, but reading u, i like.....if MS dhoni does read this, you WILL loose what ever sanity you have, i guess. Let me know how rehab looks...
ReplyDeleteGive the Indian cricket team a break, man.
ReplyDeleteThey are not superhumans. It's OKAY IF THEY LOSE.
@ranjana ji: I dont care too much about cricket either.. Its not that I am a zealot.. or something.
ReplyDeleteIn cricket, players attribute many skills apart from just sportsmanship. Harsha bhogle's book on a similar topic derives metaphor of cricket and life. This game is much more than just a sport.
@ Poulami: Indeed. But not all are as forgiving as you..And are you this forgiving to everything else in and around your life? Or do dhoni and his men get special precedence :p
when you do a post like this related to football..maybe i understand it :) hasta la vista
ReplyDeleteSankofa is an Akran word that means, "We must go back and reclaim our past so we can move forward; so we can understand why and how we came to be and who we are today."
ReplyDeleteIf a person refuses to reach back and gather the best of what his past has to teach him, so that he can achieve his full potential as he moves forward- does this saying be followed by ppl who care for him- Leave him in error who loves his error?
@ Laly, You could have simply replaced 'cricket' with 'football' and read it nevertheless.. =/
ReplyDelete@ Neter: True. but not all are that forgiving.
Also sometimes the past is bitter, its better to be forgotten. Most people say that they don't keep grudges and continue to talk with those who have made mistakes.. but their actions/attitude show how much bitterness they have for you. Ending is easy, the difficult part is starting again..
I would like to read your blog, but I am not able to link to it..
Past if bitter teaches us what went wrong, you can continue to get hurt by it or move on & learn from it.
ReplyDeleteYour tweet was- heart:broken, called The 'break up', because it was already broken, there will be numerous cracks and one person's "mistake" is just a soft touch needed to make it come crashing down, before that, one will not notice or refute to acknowledge those n number of cracks that already existed btw them. Do not look for forgiveness outside, quietly forgiving and moving on to a new start is a gift to yourself.
The past you have painted may be with true feelings, but now take time to see that it was on a very wrong canvas to begin with! Only because one has invested some time to paint this past does not mean one has to hamper the entire future holding on to it. The mediums gel together & fall in place on there own accord for a painting to last for ever- it happens naturally when it is right, you can not force it, instead let go!
Yes initially one may miss the text messages/emails/phone calls (old habits) but those are petty things which can be managed. Give away any contact you have with the person (at least 6 months) - that is the 1st step in taking charge of yourself.
Sometimes you have to let go to realize that there was nothing worth holding on to..
