Sweet Memories Of Cricket

For the last seven-eight days, IPL has been knocking on my door. Every night, before going to bed, I have watched the super exciting games of cricket.This part of the life, which I have been obsessed over in the life, deals with a feeling difficult to put down with keystrokes.

Cricket is not everything. It is more than everything. It's life. Life may betray you. Life may confuse you. But, cricket is always there stretching its arms and waiting for you. It's unambiguous, unadulterated,better than hot movies you use to watch when you are alone. There is always a simple outcome: Either win or loss. There is always a "what if " analysis in life. For me, the only place where Things make sense is cricket. In life, you never know when Your girlfriend will dump you, when your best friend will betray you, when you will get a job,internships, when will your best thing get lost and so on. But, see cricket is easy, like food. You just need to have it and energy will follow. Beyond Gender, Caste, religion, region, violence, at eternity.

Life has always been a great grandmother of all heartbreaks in my life. Personally I have been a big failure in my life. But, I have always faced it bravely with cricket in me. There is always something to learn from every game, every moment. Just try to search and most often you will find it.

What is unique in cricket is It clubs together the pain of defeat, the joy of being victorious, the heart-stopping ties, Super Over excitement with a million of possiblities and finally leading you to infinity of thoughts.It makes the mind beautiful.  You can be flown so easily. It's like falling in love each time you watch it. I do fall. When stumps are shattered, when it is a near miss, Those moments cann't be replicated. It is like you have got everything.

And If you feel mesmerized after reading this, then IPL 6 is out there waiting for you. Enjoy!!!
