Happy World Cup 2011..!!

It was a big day. Indian won the Cricket World Cup 2011. What glorious and proud moment for indians all over the world. I just love this sport. The kind of life, the kind of patriotism each and every sports person have, I used to look for the same kind of life for myself. I can never forget those days, school days .

When i was at school i was the only girl who used to think about these kind of sports, none of the girls were very much interested towards these kind of games and sports. Rather they have their keen interest in activities like dance , drama etc. While sitting in class when i used to see from window where our Sports teacher used to guide boys cricket, volley ball teams, I probably cannot explain how helpless and hopeless i was.

Finally one day i decided to talk to our sports teacher to look for some girls team in different sports and showed him how much interested i was. He said ‘ok’ which was equals to ‘Forget it’. But i used to remind him again and again and finally he called me up one day and told me that a women cricket tournament is going to start and asked me if i am interested. Without a pause of even a second i said YES. I AM. I still remember my sports teacher Manoj Sir. Though we were also having Yogesh Sir with us, but the person who supported me most was Manoj Sir. We decided to look for girls team in our school in hope that at least we will be able to make 12 player team among 1000 students. We circulated a notice in school stating ‘Those who are interested will report to school playground at specific time’.

At the specified time we found around 40 girls who were interested including me. The Selection process gave us the team finally and i was announced as Captain of the team. We used to practice daily but during the practice session i realized that the team is very weak. Some of the girls were even unable to field, unable to catch properly, used to throw ball which cover not even 20 meters of distance

Finally the day arrived , our first match with girls of SMS School. It was scary . We all got scared when we saw at their team. Long looks and somewhat similar to WWE wrestlers . First we had the team line ups and then i introduced my team to the Chief guest at the stadium. Dnt remember about the toss result what started with bowling. I was an all rounder but the role given to me in the team was of a bowler. First over went fine and i was given the second over and guess what i got a wicket “CLEAN BOLD” . Ahh!! What a relief it was, at least we got confidence that we can create some trouble for those scary opponents. Well it was a 15 over match and every bowler was allowed to bowl 3 overs. Me and Vandana (our team member) were the only reliable bowler. I took 3 wicket in my 3 overs but the other team played pretty well to score around 110 runs.

Our batting was very weak and so the result we loose the match. I was also able to make 6 runs with one boundary. But we all were happy and specially i was glad that at least we tried The tournament was very important as it was told to us that this tournament is to shortlist some players who can play at district level. Well we were out of the tournament and again started living school life studies and all. Next day of the tournament i got my picture in newspaper sports page and name too in first para Still have that cutting with me. Awesome feeling.

And again one day Manoj Sir called me and said that we got a letter from organizers of the tournament and they have shortlisted players to play at district level and you are among them. he congratulated me and i was too Out of the World!! I started dreaming of my career and my life in Cricket

Destiny and Hard luck whatever but the day when i have to go to stadium to attend the camp, i lost my grandfather. There was nothing in the mind about my life with Cricket, all vanished with a single moment. After that we got opportunity to play in a school tournament and we lost 2 matches. I scored zero in first and 36 in second match.

On Sports day, Got Player of the year award, Athlete of the year award but i was not knowing that it is the end. After that i never got the chance to play like this ever. I really Miss those days. May be destiny was having something else for me. Cricket Was Not For Me

Anyways what is more important now is We Are World Cup Champions

I just wonder if Women Cricket will also get some concern from the country. Its also equally important.

“GO INDIA GO”!!!

Do You Think Or Merely Daydream

Organizing your mind also implies heading towards a definite goal. If your thinking is just daydreaming, in most cases you are heading nowhere.

But Exceptionally, If daydreams are constructive, if they act as inspiration, if they lead to action then they are productive.

Too many of us learn to become satisfied by daydreams, they become substitute for real things and we may find ourselves refusing to make effort or working towards reality. Most people if asked "How to become successful?". The answer would probably be "Hard work applied properly and intelligently and thinking in an organized manner." Well no argument for this, But this is all to become successful? I heard from one guest professor once during my school days that "We are making use of only half part of our mental resources as if we are half awake."

I really doubt if we could ever be able to use all mental resources but at least we can try to make best use of what we have.So, lets attempt to organize those resources that would lead to the way of more successful, happy and creative life. Time is more important than money, its the most valuable commodity we can spend.Just make up your mind that there is enough room available for improvement and you will definitely make some improvement.

There is no limit to how much we can learn, once we realize this fact we can easily come to know how little we know.

So, Keep Thinking...Keep Learning..!!

True Story.. My Missing Friend

This is a true story of one of mine missing friend. I am talking about my very first…very good…best friend..Swati kandoi..

I was in class seventh when we met first time in school..We became good friends…and in span of 1 year we became very close to each other. Everything was going smooth..We were enjoying our school days…Suddenly she changed her school..When we are kids we listen to our parents…and thts wat she did..She changed her school..It was realy heart broking for me..But tht was not the end…It was the actual start of our real friendship.

We were having a common friend priya…Priya used to live near her house and she was my classmate.

One day she came to me…and gave a letter in my hand..and said “this is from swati”..

I felt so happy..just opened it up and read…She was also missing me , like i was. Then i also wrote a letter to her in reply and handed over to priya..This way we started writing letters to each other…In one of her letter she told me that my face resembles to her elder sis Rashi (who expired in very young age)…And she started calling me Rashi after that..and gave me many more nick names…I still remm your nick names ..Took Took and Bawali Chorri.

This way we were in contact till class 10th…When i came to class 11…one friendship day i wrote a letter to her with friendship band..I was very excited to deliver this letter and the band to her as soon as possible. I saw priya in school corridor ..ran towards her and gave her the envelope …She did not gave me a chance to speak and said..That swati has left jaipur now she is studying in bhilwara..and will continue her further studies there.

I got shocked..Another heart breaking moment for me..after 2-3 months i decided to get her address any how…With lot of efforts i got her address of bhilwara and thus wrote her a letter with a greeting card…expressing my anger towards her tht she left jaipur without telling me. She used to live just 3 Km away from me…but i dnt know why we never visited each others house even once.

I remember i went her home once for 1 hour their i met to her family…and everyone was saying that i really resembles to Rashi..strange but true.

Well that letter reached to her safely..and in reply she also sent me greeting card …and also called me from Bhilwara.. That was the last time we talk to each other…She told me once she will come to jaipur she will let me know and then we can meet… I am still waiting to meet you dear.

After 3-4 year i completed my engineering and tried to find her out. I found her sister Chhavi on a social networking site and she told me tht swati got married and having a son too.

Thats it…Thts how all story ended. But memories are still there.

I still have all your letter..I knw you will never be able to read this blog post…But there is still a little hope..tht we will meet.

Take Care Friend.

Yes I do understand "No friend can stay with you forever."

Life demands Attention

Each human being today is busy in his/her own life. Life is not a constant graph but rather its more like a rainbow. Life has many colors or these may be called "moods of life". Just like we have to care about the mood of the person while talking to him/her, We should take care of Mood of Life too.

"Am I comparing Life with Human being?"

The answer is "Yes".

Just like being a Human being, everyone has demands today like wealth, Joy, Prosperity, Freedom and many more.., Life too has a specific and the only demand i.e., Attention.

For the time period Life is given attention , Life fulfills what human demands. And the time you loose attention on Life, It too looses attention on your demands. Leading to the right way and taking safe turns is what comes under Attention to Life. Living a life is easy, but living it happily is far more complex.

Few tips to focus on Life and fulfill it demand:

• Be focussed on life , what you want to make out of it.
• Think before every action, whether it takes you to the right path
• There are some dangerous turns and speed breakers in life, Be careful and you will come out of it easily.
• Do not try to change surroundings according to you, try to change yourself according to surroundings.
• Live your life, not others. In short, stop comparing others life from yours
• There is no U-turn in life so never put flight of your life in Auto-Pilot mode. Fly it the way you want it to.

Yes, its not that easy to focus on Life each and every second, There is a lot of things to do in 24 hrs. But once taken into habit, you will live a "Life You Want To Live".

Choice is Yours!!
