Welcome to a New World!!

My mom says the first time I bunked school was during the 1992 world cup when India lost to Australia by a run. I remember I was extremely sad then and to cheer me up, my mom gave me 2 coins to play Contra in the nearby video game shop! It’s been 20 years now and I believe like everything, life has taken a full circle for Indian cricket team. India started the series with a lot of promise but then squandered away the initiative, showing signs that something is going wrong in the heads of our heroes! Few flashes of brilliance in Melbourne gave us hope that may be this series will not be as embarrassing as the one in England. Although, the story from then has been “all shot to hell” and our so called best batting line up in the world has been shown the doors thousand times on the pitch in the corridors of uncertainty! The most baffling part of the whole episode has been the selection. If an average of around 20 in the last 7 overseas test matches doesn’t ring a bell to our team

Walking side by side, Holding each other tighter, Before saying goodbye, For one last time. Walking Side by side, In your heart and my soul, With the same thought and passion, Even when we were not together. Walking side by side, Near the river we first met, Million years later when we lost each other, In a new world living an old dream. Walking side by side, After waiting silently through time, Praying that the sunshine stays on, For the life that we could not share.
