"You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken when your heart's not open"
okay these words are surely not mine :) !!!!
These are the lines from the song Frozen by Madonna. Today while I was walking to the bus stop to board my cab, this kept ringing in my mind. It was actually pouring down from the heavens in fact not like cats and dogs but just minute drops. The cold breeze made me feel so fresh and lovely. While I was singing those lines I was pondering whether I am contended with life or am I expressing contempt. I am yet to make a pick on those. Anyways I resolved not to devastate my present regretting about the past nor worrying about my future. I will live up to the best for this day this minute this second :) I am trying to open my eyes to see more than what I want to see. I want to come out of those comfort zones and stop wanting life to be what I want it to be. I want to see myself as God sees me and so I would see life as God expects me to see. That sounds good. I hope it makes me feel good too. So folks open your eyes and heart to see the beauty and the beast !!! I caution you not to be frozen :D

Life after Bits :D
It's been 169 days that I've stepped out of BITS :) phew!! quite a long time I feel... Life seems to get more colorful and beautiful as it goes...nonetheless it did take quite a long time for me to absorb all the emotions that came out during these days...
That's how life is..it goes on..neither summer nor winter..neither monsoon nor spring..neither joy nor sorrow nothing can put a halt to our lives except the one and only death!! hoho that did come out powerful...all I can do is sit and complain of my life .."Oh! Look at me...it would've been like that but now it is this.. what can I do??" "Huh!! Why should this always happen to me??" I am not the odd one though... Exciting times do keep spiralling out of my life..n I quickly jump to conclusions that life is incredible..amazing..awesome..so on..but before long I do contradict myself...and keep cribbing...yeah I know again that's how life goes on...
I've seen people whom I could not during the four years of my life in BITS... and I can say a wide variety of people with different abilities and needs.. Of course this world accommodates all types!!! The aberrations were those which caused me some pain and some wonder...I look at myself and ask why am I supposed to see all these things?? what am I supposed to do?? what can I do?? Opportunities drove me to different places... there was so much to look and feel each time I went out...Empowered by what BITS taught me :) I did try to make some difference but you know..it's just like a drop... The indifferent attitudes of people on one hand and the loving concern of people on other hand kept pushing me as though toddling on a rope of life :)
The air around me brings in a motley of feelings and thoughts... Its been a fabulous time ever since I realized that life is always good and we turn bad sometimes...My mind is blocked now !!! ha ha!!.. will let go of the rest of my post very soon :D

Indian Cricket!!! :) :(
Well India ne chak diya!! The recent T20 world cup title brought life to many of the die hard cricketers and their fans after they were kicked out of the world cup much earlier this year. It has been great to see the aggressive and passionate young blood turning the stones over after their defeat by New Zealand in the T20. Their effort and hard work helped them trample over few of the best nations in the cricketing field. I find no more peace nor calmness in our cricketers....they have all been pumped up with fire and have been reflecting the same in their game. But I think this is not the end but it's just the beginning. The expectations of all the Indian supporters have rouse and they would be expecting a really good fight between the past and the present champions in the present ongoing Future cup.
In view of the reception that the Dhoni boys got when they set their foot on the homeland after owning the very first T20 cup, I guess it was just awesome.. Truly cricket seems to be the favourite son of Mother India but as people of this nation we also need to consider the other sports which have been getting second degree treatment from the people as well as the Government of different states. India takes pride in producing some of the most brilliant sportsmen ever, be it Vishwanath Anand who just earned back his world chess championship title after seven years or the prodigious talented billiards champ Pankaj Advani or Rajyavardhan Rathore the shooting hero or the Football champions or the (national game) Hockey players or many more unlucky chaps.. I can bet that very few know about these men and their achievements..I say they are unlucky coz they get the recognition and praise from other nations who realize the importance of their sport and their performance while neglected and ignored at their home..It is a shame to all of us and the press specially if we are blind to these wonderful men of our land. They definitely deserve more than what they have been receiving or in fact are receiving.
There can be two outcomes of all that is happening. One is that the other sportsmen can get discouraged and their performance could go down lack of support. Two they would continue to fight back with fire and silence the officials with their dazzling performances in the forth coming tournaments. I know that cricket brings in lotsa profits and that BCCI is the richest in the world. This must throw a call for all the other associations to fasten their belts and get things going. They need to render support no matter what and see that their cream gets the best support and encouragement.
Coming to our "dear sport" cricket I wish that they continue winning laurels for India..else the same pomp and the enthusiasm of the fans here would become history and they would no longer continue to grab the attention of theirs. May they fight fire with fire not only in words but also in actions to prove that we can be consistent winning champions.
And let us all patronize all the other sports heroes of the nation who have been getting step motherly treatment, with much fairness and unbiased love just to lift up our country to higher grounds in the world of sports!!
