Life now.

No, let me begin by saying that this ain't a post on cricket. Just using a line I heard there.

"Just when you thought that you had the game by the scruff of it's neck, it will bite you in the bum."

So very true. But what is more true is that if you replace the word 'Cricket' with 'Life', the meaning's importance would not diminish one bit. Life, like cricket, cannot be taken for granted, "till the last ball is bowled". Unfortunately, in cricket, one ends up getting another opportunity after that last ball. The last ball in life - and well, this is the unfortunate part really - remains at that, THE LAST BALL.

Why I write this is because, it has been merry for me in the twenty days or so. The ghosts of those dark periods seem to have been buried. Apart from a minor skittish, here and there, it seems to be back on track, to where it should have been in the first place. Damage Control ended up causing a little more damage than necessary, but that is a part of the game (Naah, I am not referring to cricket here). Weeding out the bad from the otherwise not-so-bad is a necessity. More of this sometime else.

However, now, in this merriment, I really wish I do not forget those not-so-merry days. And the reasons that caused 'em. After all, getting away from the darkness and into the dawn is easy, but some hours down the line, dusk does make it's appearance felt. That is when one needs to take one's sun glasses off, and not turn a blind eye to it. Hopefully this time I would be more prepared to face the darkness, that would follow this dawn.

I would like to end with another cricket quote, not quite related to the this post, just wanted to finish off on a lighter note.

A certain Rafael Benitez when asked why he did not like Test Cricket replied,

"How can you tell your wife you are just popping out to play a match and then not come back for five days?"

Times are changing. You could be back in 3 hours now dude, afterall!
