My interests


C.R.I.C.K.E.T. A sport i really loved playing and have always bugged my school friends to play. Its a game i grew up watching or any Indian kid will be accustomed to from the day he/she starts walking around her home. I was watching the game starting from Mohammed Azharuddin days till Rahul Dravid was the captain of the Indian cricket team. I took a break from the sport during my +1 AND +2 and then during my coll days started getting inspired by the captain rather than the sport..LoL! Four months back when I sat for a mock interview, I was questioned on my sporting interests and I happened to say cricket. This really brought a kind of weird feeling in me..what have i been doing all these years? Jus watching the game or the players? Yes there's a difference between watching the game and analysing the game. When i was discussing the game with my schoolmate, i realised in an attempt to be a nerd i had lost all the proclivity i had as a child, to analyze a game i am genetically associated to. I remember how I took 5 wickets in a small cricket match as a child during my games class in 5th. I also remember purchasing my first Sachin willow bat in Bangalore and i still cherish it..after all it was my first cricket bat!:) These memories flashed across as I played this game after a really long time with my college mates along the shores of Marina Beach with a make-shift bat(my book)and a ball which my friend brought,faltered very badly while bowling and wicket keeping, felt like a novice at the game. I just wish i could play a real cricket match atleast once in my life! That will be a day when i can raise my arms and say 'THIS IS IT'!
