Title:Like many other things cant decide on one!
Saturday, April 19, 2008
Its 12 in the night (12:06) to be exact , and i feel like writing something.
There is something going on in my head which is making me very uncomfortable.Today the entire day in the office I had no work so I was preparing for one of the Microsoft exams that I am planning to give.When I came back it was the inaugral day of IPL so I spent the evening watching the Kolkata Knight Riders beat the hell out of Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was a great match and when I saw the hitting that McCullum was doing I immediately felt the need to have the bat in my hand and go onto the field , its not new happens many time to me,whenever I see a exciting match or a great performance I want to be out there on the field in the thick of the action. Hit it baby! a spanking cover drive a six over long off, get the adrenaline pumping.
Any chance of me being a cricketer were lost the day my dad had this out-of-the-Soap-serial conversation with my cricket coach when I was in 11th grade just about 17.
Dad: ( Very concerned about how I will manage my 12th tuitions and cricket coaching together) Iska kya chance hai cricketer banne ka ?
Coach: Acha khelta hai .. par abhi kafi seekhna baki hai ..
Dad : Iska kuch future ban sakta hai cricket me ? abhi iski barwi ki exam aani wali hai ise padhai par bhi dhyan dena hai!
Coach: Agar sal bhar practice ki subah sham 3-3 ghante to shayad under 19 khel le..
Dad: Phir padhai ka kya ?
Coach: Wo to use adjust karni padhengi .. nahi to nahi ho payenga .. waise hi ye thoda late hai .. mere pas to bacche 10 sal se aathe hai tab under 19 me jagah milti hai unhe .. ye late aaya hai ..
(I guess if this was one of the K serials the camera would have focussed on my , my dads and the coach'es face 3 time each with the dhaaaaa! dhaaaaa! dhaaaaa! music in the background and the coach giving a wicked smile.)
So here I am a software engineer working in a software firm building software for its sophisticated clients , now you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know what the result was of that discussion. So as I sit on the bed watching Shahrukh Khan with his six packs dancing in the aisles and doing a jig every time the camera is on him, I feel uneasy in the stomach ,and then the thought creeps up in my mind , what am I doing here sitting like a fat ass with six folds instead of six packs on my stomach eating karachi biscuit and watching the kiwi keeper hit balls in all corners of the ground , is all of this wrong ? what have I done with my life ? am I responsible for what has happened ? should I have been more proactive in giving direction to my life ?
To all these question I got only one answer ..
"Life is like a sinusoidal wave my friends, sometimes you are in the trough's and you feel sad and depressed but be rest assured that every trough is followed by a crest "
So here is to the wait for the Crest to arrive!
Chao!
