Sport has the capacity to teach us a lot of lessons! Today, I saw glimpses of the cricket match between India and Sri Lanka. India had to chase down 321 in 40 overs to stay in the triangular competition(other side-Australia). This is a very hard chase and especially when you have been losing or are being criticised constantly. I think Team India is at its lowest point in the past few years. In the midst of all this, this young aggressive chap, Virat Kohli, a Delhi lad of 25, scored 133* in just 86 balls. The point to note was the aggresion and self-belief in the chap! It was an amazing knock. When no one believes that you are of any value, that's when you come forward and put your hand up and say - "Guys, watch out! I am there." I take this as a lesson. Being self-confident and doing what you're supposed to do would give satisfaction, I think. I have a lesson to learn from Virat Kohli, when it comes to being self-confident and hard-working and listening to one's own voice rather than just being an also-ran!

On Writing on A BLOG..Why?
How does it work-writing? Does it come naturally or do people actually work very hard on it? Or it could very well be a constuctive combination of the above two or even a destructive one at that. This question does not bother me a lot, it should not. It's a sad thing that I have not been writing on this blog for quite some time(around 4 months, I guess). To be frank, I have not felt the urge to come and sit in front of the PC to write stuff for my blog. Because, I do not know what to write on. Maybe, I do not have things to share with you or it is just that I do not want to share it with you. I am thinking that it is the latter. I know, and I even remember my motive to start as a blogger - to share my emotional self with you, the reader I don't know what has taken over me over the past 5 months or so, I would rather add a condition to this motive - if I feel like.I guess this condition was already presesnt in a subtle manner but I would make it more pronounced. Why? Because I think that's the way the cookie crumbles! It's true for every writer. Every piece of literature. What am I writing about? You must be thinking this guy is very tedious and serious about his business..well, forget it! I will be honest with you.
I do not have anything to write about. I already have a personal diary where I write about daily happenings and my understandings of those happenings but that's not the reason for the existence of this blog.This blog is not a personal diary. It's obvious, right? Am I a fool to do that or what? Then what exactly do I mean by sharing my emotional self with you. I don't know, man! It's a confused state. Why to blog at all? Should blogs have a specific subject? Should they be for work that is being carried out and then explained to people who want to know about it through the blog? Should it have an end in mind? Why to blog at all? For me, I don't know. Why do I blog? I do not consider myself to be an expert in any field of knowledge.Nor am I working on a specific project, nor am I away from my closest family that I need to tell them what's happening with me, nor do I do serious poetry or write serious stories or stuff like that. Although, I have many ideas for stories and have done some homework, it's not share-able. Then why should I maintain a blog?
No reason-able answer. But still, I don't want to shut shop right away! I will give a reason - TO WANDER and TO HAVE FUN! I don't know how successful it'll be, but I don't really care. I am hopeful that I will soon have serious stuff to share with you. Stuff that is valuable. But as of now, I have nothing. Not a problem for me. I would continue to write random things on this space of mine and try to have fun writing it, so that some frequency-matching with you, the earthly fellow, is possible. Hoping in hope! I will be more regular and hence more random! But I think I would prefer to have fun, because I do enjoy writing. And you, you should comment or mail me(if you are scared about your comment being visible to everyone else, believe me I do that!).You never know, we may just strike some cool chord and get talking about something and end up learning stuff which we never would have had we not spoken. And hence, the BLOG!
