How far is too far? - 14th July, 2011

Along with the usual & rightful politician bashing, we'd do well with some introspection too. What we are witnessing is, in a sense, a manifestation of what we, in our individual capacities & in our own different ways, are sowing - 'Look after your own self, let the world take care of itself'.
And in a scenario where each one of us draws their own lines, & has their own yardstick, who decides how far is too far?!!

The day after - 3rd Apr 2011

To those who've wondered for all these years, why we follow every possible match (one dayers, Tests, T20, Ranji too), every ball, all the highlights, the repeat telecasts, the analysis -
What each of us felt last night is just cumulative of all that this sport, our team and one player, over the years, have given us the chance to experience in different measures, from time to time! :)

It probably doesn't matter! :) - 1st Apr 2011

22 years - Of bringing an entire nation together each time he's walked on to the park; Of filling them with hope & pride, disappointment & ecstasy; Of being the lone warrior surrounded by ordinary fellow-men for a large part of the journey; Of working through it all to a stage where 14 others (superstars in their own right) have buckled down with a never-seen-before focus, intensity and discipline, almost as if obliged and owing it to their very own childhood hero.

A victory tomorrow would definitely be the icing on the cake & a small but fitting gift for his indescribable yet unassuming contribution. However, irrespective of the result and long after the dust has settled, and the hype & hysteria have died down, this more than anything else would still hold true - That the journey has indeed been worth a lot lot more than this destination!
