The gentleman's game??
The lady is blogging on the man's arena, that too a gentle ones'. If recent matches were anything to go by, it wouldn't be a fitting description. The question comes if sledging showcases one's weakness or the complacence? It has always been taken as a right by the Aussies. It starts from the inauguration ceremony where the skipper makes it a point to tell how their's a better team and the weakness in the opposition. The battle is sometimes half won there. The right strings are pulled to aggravate the player on the field. Once in a while, the player gives it back(I am not going to support the act of Bhajji but then it was asked for). The culprit is the one who provokes the comments and not the one falls for it. The new 'young' Indian team represent the new India, not believing in staying silent, just because that worked some 60 years back. As Tharoor rightly says, this breed represents the new generations' thoughts- Give it back when you don't deserve the flak. Words are mine, but thats the feeling. I am doing what the media are accused of. This comment was made when Dravid hadn't put a follow on when possible and taken a psychological edge on the Aussies. This article isn't to bash the decision or stand by the new team composition. I still feel that the team should have comprised of some seniors(without being partial to Dravid alone). And when you give poor form in one match as a reason to keep someone out, shouldn't a poor series keep the player out too, eventhough the player is God?

trust
Why should i trust someone and expect from them? What is worse, your trust getting broken or understanding the fact that the person doesnt trust you enough. Both are bad. When your trust is broken, your world shatters and decide never to trust anyone again. But resolutions, like promises are meant to be broken. You trust a person and have no qualms about sharing things and realise one day that level of comfort is not shared by the other person. In the first case, you shed tears if there are any left in the quietness of anonymity. In the case of latter, you write a blog:D. You wonder whether it was the over enthu character which bullied the other person to give company but never get you to the level. Is it the first time, no ways!:P Will it happen again? in all probability. Quite a change in the mood from the first line of the blog till here. Guess wanderer suits me after all! But why the blogs all in a sad tone when i am more known for the roaring sea rather than the flowing river laughter? Its easy to share the joy than the thousand thoughts which swim across when in reverie. And one hardly thinks when in joy. It is taken for granted. And the analysis mode is reached when you want to think what went wrong. :P
The confussed mind!
What is the path when there is a confusion in our mind? When you yourself don't know what you are thinking about? And don't know what you should wish for since you don't know the right way to go. They say things happen for good. Is that true? What has happened now might have been for the good, but why did the situation leading to this ever happen? Surely it cant be for the good. Unless going through pain makes one strong, but is that a valid enough reason for everything to happen? And about learning a lesson from the whole thing, it doesn't happen that way. You end to go the same way again and again. And continue until you have reached your destination So why is that some people are partial in that, they reach there in their first attempt while others flunk? Is this a fair world???????????
