How to describe

Yesterday we won the cricket match played against NAVIS. It was a very hot day and I was quite tired by the time the match was over. We scored 196 runs with the loss of 9 wickets in 27 overs and the opponents were able to score only 151 runs. Karthik played superbly and scored a quick half-century. After losing the previous game last weekend, this win proved to be quite revitalizing for the team and personally too. I was little bit disappointed when my team did not opt to try with my bowling in the previous two games (they were fair from their part, but I was disappointed with my bad bowling). I enjoy to bowl than to bat. But in yesterdays match I got a chance to bowl and was fairly happy with my performance. I struggled for rhythm in the first couple of overs and found it little later at the end of my spell. After the match I came back home and watched the great Indian run chase against England. It’s nice to see the Indian side sweeping all the one-day match series with great dominance.

Weekends are proving to be very hard to pass my time. This is not a new problem, which has just sneaked into my life; I have been facing this since I moved to Chennai. Meantime my apartment is also getting ready at a pretty fast pace. I am not really very happy with the way it’s coming up, not up to the standards I have dreamt about. There is new construction coming up on one side of our building and it would block the light from entering my flat to a great extent. It’s definitely not my dream house. With the current state, I would just end up in considering it as a mere investment and nothing else, which in turn is somewhat saddening after shelling out so much of money.

In the recent time with laziness also joining the hands with my thoughts I have totally ignored to practice for the forthcoming Bangalore marathon. Good that it has been postponed to September and I have ample time for practicing. The funniest thing is that last week after my running sessions I have been practicing alone in the ground to get my run-up for the bowling correctly. This cricket fever seems to be catching up at this stage of my life.

Whatever it is, happy, sad and boring moments seems to be hitting my life quite frequently and I am in the process of learning how to handle those in a matured manner or rather just learning to swim against the tides. But nowadays I often feel that I am missing few important people in my life with which I could share my thoughts, having a cup of coffee or a mug of beer, muttering, jabbering about the discarded things in life,… not sure how to describe…


PS: “Sangamam” is a music show telecasted in vijay tv on Saturday evenings at 9PM (repeat telecast of Sunday morning program at 9:30 AM). If you are a music lover don’t miss to watch it on next week (journey of S.P. Balasubramaniam from 1960’s to till date covered in three episodes). I liked it very much.
