Tormented

Day two of blogging: First thought that has come to mind is: Would I keep counting the days when I write my blog. I hope not, the whole idea of my thoughts being free of all constraints would be lost.

From last few days I have been very depressed and troubled, life has come to a point where nothing seems to work, every step I take seems to be in the wrong direction. Does this happen to other people. I am not sure, maybe some people are smart enough to avoid these pitfalls of life. Though the sad part is that no one seems to be standing besides me. Everyone that I thought was with me seems to be finding ways out.

Here sometimes I feel that Rahul Dravid in IPL is going through a similar problem, everything that he does doesn't come off and Banglore looses. Life is tragic and as Buddha said, LIFE is all about PAIN.

On IPL: IPL itself caught on the Indian imagination, its unbelievable. I was always a big advocate of club level cricket because it would enhance the quality of matches, but I am also very surprised by IPL's popularity. I always thought that India - Bangladesh matches make no sense, no offense to Bangladesh's team but it doesn't attract even the most earnest admirers of cricket. I hope IPL improves and increases with time. I cant wait to see Indore's team in action.

It was a revelation to see Shoaib Akhtar bowl at his fierce best under the captaincy of Ganguly in front of 60000 people in Kolkata. Shoaib and Ganguly rejoicing Shewag's wicket together would be one of the classic moments of this IPL.

On the funny side of life: Just found out that the ex-CM of Madhaya Pradesh is actually now a minister in this government. I am not sure that's the norm our founders had thought of. If you reached a level why deplete your credibility and take a minor post. Something that I can't fathom. किस्सा कुर्सी का !
