She....

She is sitting in a car and she is on the roads .She is wearing good clothes and she is wearing torn clothes. She is on her way to work and she is also on her work. She doesn't lift her head and she is lifting her head with the hand forward begging for money .She feels pity and she is waiting. She is feeling guilty and she is still waiting. She feels bad and she is still standing there and begging . Traffic signal goes green as she lifts her eyes ....
The first she was me and the other she was the begger lady ..

Dad and Cricket Fever

Not only Dad but all of us in our family are cricket fans , but Dad is a bit more serious and rest of us come alive only when India is playing :) ! Like all Indian fans ,everytime India plays Dad has his hopes of wanting Indian team to win . Indian team does win but not all the times and the times it doesn't win one in our family gets scolding ;o) not because they are the cause but just because they were there when Dad saw the last ball of the loosing match you were in close visinity ! So when Me ,mom and Sister came to know of this fever ,we would slowly move away from the TV the moment India has signs of loosing ,but mom still doesn't learn so many a times she becomes the bakra even though we tell her to keep quite when a cricket match is going on :) !!
Coming to yesterday's match ,it was a thriller :) after Sehwag started hitting but the first few hours were tension filled . Only me and my dad were there in the house and both of us were obviously in front of the TV much before the match could start . Me on the bean bag and Dad on the chair ,there was tension in the room . Toss was a crucial thing.It was 6:15 p.m ,Toss was at 6:30 p.m . I was browsing thru the channels so as to ease the tension ,while browing DD was showing Nayan Mongya predicting the match ,His bet was on Sehwag for which the other panel members had a good laugh ,myself and dad also laughed . On Extraa Innings there was this prediction " India will win the match. India will loose two early wickets and at least one top order batsment will score a centuary". Dad commented "Even last match they predicted that India will win" . I was thinking ,would they ever dare to predict that India will loose ,i don't think so !!!! After 15 minutes of browsing the channel i was back to 'THE MOMENT' . Up went the coin in the air ,'Tails' was called by the Bermuda Captain and Tails it was .As he took the mike ,myself and Dad were waiting for him to speak and he said 'We would like bowl". I guess Dravid would have chosen to bat if he would have won the toss. Now again a wait for the clock to tick to 7 P.M for the match to start . Match started at 7 P.M . I got a stress ball and gave it to dad ;o) !!!! ( a good thing i picked up from Wimbeldon ) . First ball , no run ,then a wide , then a run , then match continues.. India scored just 3 runs when the the first wicket fell (***Warning Sign !!!!***) . Luckily the catch was taken by 115kg Bermuda guy and it was taken marvelously so situation was a bit funny but still the hopes came down by an inch . Sehwag was on the fields. After few dot balls there was a 4 :) ! And then after both the batsmen settled down there was no looking back . India made a huge record-breaking 413 runs a World Cup record. India won the match by 257 runs.
The real match will be when India takes on SriLanka on 23rd. Lot of pressure on Indian team and as Dravid said in the interview " I am more worried about my family back in India!!!" ..He surely is worried !
Good luck Team India ..

.....

I have hurt my friend . It was not intentional. Friends have been my life. I have lot of friends and but only few are close friends and i have hurt one of them. I cherish every moment of the friendship i have had with them and hope to have with them in the years to come.
I am not a person who wud remember friends only when i need them . The fight is over but then the guilt is still in me and its constantly being ringing in my head and its troubling me a lot . The damage is done and repaired also but the mark still remains .I truly hope the mark will slowly fade away with time .
