It is overwhelming to see a cold morning, a stiffed, still sleepy body with a little noise of factory already started nearby at GSFC Cricket ground. The hunger to play well starts burning in the stomach like the raw had started burning in the factory. We, Baroda CAs every morning get together at the ground, practice since last 1 and half month to match the standards with Ahmedabad CAs. We desperately need a win!
Drops of dew on the newly grown grass, a compulsory full round of ground before start, few balls here and there and then a perfect pitching gives true pleasure of your breaths. In our life, we live two lives simultaneously; one that we always dream to live like and one we have chosen. We have hardly enough time to give to the life we always wanted to live as we have already chosen a different path. Time will never come again and that I always tell to myself before bowling or facing any ball. It needs no alarm to wake up early from the bad (like a spider web which always ties you tightly to catch some more sleep), your body shows no resistance to get a new routine. That happens when you are living the life you always dream to live like.
I remember all my childhood days starving for Cricket. I used to wait for my brother to come home early from the school so that we can have a match and I can return home with a big smile ending with a big hug to my mom saying how much I scored and how did I tackle the much stronger looking brother. No matter what the performance is, my mom was always happy listening me. If I kept quiet, she knew easily that I cooked up and she will advice there's always another day.
It is important for you to decide in life what makes you happy. Please mark the difference, what makes you happy and what attracts you easily but hardly make you happy. You consult your parents, you take advice of your brothers and sisters but choose something that you would not have think of. That will make you see dreams different in night and work for different objectives in day time. Sadly, when you are grown up, you have hardly anyone to go and say "Boss! I am not happy with this life and actually I dreamed something else! I want to return." Can you really return but?
