Hey Blog!
Finally after so much procrastination, I'm here. It's been a long time since I came to this place. I had actually forgotten that checking the blog posts of some ppl was always there in my priority list. Today when I logged in here, surprisingly I found the colour of all the links on this blog as blue, whereas ever since this new theme was loaded, most of those links appeared black in colour anyday/anytime. This shows how less I visit this page now.
Its not that I don't write anything now. I do write. A lot of times! Sometimes it comes out in the old traditional manner, when I use a pen and paper. The other times, I use Nokia E63 notepad. Writing using a pen and paper requires such a tremendous effort to put in.
Well, as I always say, so many things have changed in the world in the past few months. The first of them is India becoming the World Champ. Nothing could be better than this for me. I saw them getting the crown for the second time in front of my naked eyes. I was in Chandigarh on both the occasions. Although I had to miss the Semi Final between India and Pakistan, but missing some important events has become an unavoidable part of my life ever since I've joined BHEL. I made up on this by watching the World Cup Final at Chandigarh and not in Hyderabad or any other place. I also attended the event organized by Music Club at PEC with Nikhil who was sitting alongside me. That event was awesome! I was taken aback by the level of performances that were given by those people. Similar thing was felt by Nikhil. One more interesting thing that was felt by both of us was the camaraderie that lies there among those kids, unlike the previous years. People now hang out together. They laugh together. They cry together. Earlier, there were only performers. Now, there are performers with feelings for each one out there. Huge credit goes to Geet and his successor, Rajat for this.
I found a few amazing kids there, who did some sort of magic on me. This was one trip of Chandigarh, that has brought the old Harshal in me. I'm definitely thankful to those three kids I met there. It was just an awesome trip!
Coming back to the World Cup thing, it was a dream come true thing. Team India wanted to win this Cup for Sachin, and they did it. Now I can say that there is at least one dream that I shared with Sachin Tendulkar that was fulfilled. I got a bit emotional when Virat Kohli & Co. lifted him on their shoulders and took a round of the ground. There was this great man. I'd never be able to forget this moment in my life. It was something that everyone wants to be happening with them. And then I thought that despite being so much talented, how much hard work he had done to fulfill his dreams. If I think of me, I've done nothing at all! So without having any talent, I can't even imagine how far I've to go to be successful. Anyways, one more thing changed that day. It was, the RESPECT for MS Dhoni. I never liked him before because I feel he was the reason why the likes of Ganguly and Dravid were thrown out of the one-day teams although they were giving awesome performances in the later part of their respective careers. Nevertheless, I got the answer to that question that day. India, finally, became the World Champion.
Scheduling IPL just after a week of the World Cup was the stupidest thing that could be done. Even the organizers would've felt the same by this time as people are not taking that much interest in IPL. Empty stadiums and busy markets in the evenings are the proofs of the same. I believe Sachin Tendulkar should stop playing in IPL. Because if he doesn't stop doing that, very less people would support their home teams. MI is the team that many people want to win the league this time. At the same time, I feel sorry for Sangakkara, Yuvi and Sehwag that their teams are not being able to deliver as what was expected. DD had a disaster selection panel. Plus I want Adam Gilchrist to re-do the magic that he is known for. If not done, I'm doubtful whether he'd be able to play in the next season.
One guy who has given a solid reply for not being selected earlier is Chris Gayle. He has been the biggest entertainer till now in this edition. I want Ganguly to do the same. His career was not supposed to end like this way. I believe, a lot of cricket is left in him. If India became a World Champ, I give a huge credit to him. He was the man, who kept the foundation for this team building. And when the whole world was celebrating the encounter of the World's Most Wanted Man, Ganguly was the man who was topping the charts of Twitter and Google Trends. That's what his charisma is!
Now since the topic has been brought into the picture, neither am I feeling happy, not I'm feeling sad. I've not read any newspaper and I've not seen any news and I don't know the reactions of people all around the globe since last Monday. So, I'm the least aware of the latest happenings in this case. But I was surprised to know about the world celebrating this killing. He had been hiding for about 10 years and nobody was unable to find him despite the fact that the world's strongest army and super power had put all of their efforts in for carrying out this operation. Plus, ultimately he had to die. Its just that it was not a natural death but something which was called as the ultimate victory of USA. Strange! I don't know how many Osamas would this guy had already created in these 10 years.
As I write this, I can feel the load on my eyelids which is leading to the closing of my eyes. I beg you to pardon me for the grammatical mistakes that would be found in this post.
I'd be talking about some more things in a few days. I'd be coming back to blogging, in a better way, in a few more days.
