Through the eyes of Sunil

Tulsi pooja setup - in our banglore home The picture above was taken few weeks ago. Tulsi pooja is one of the festival that normally comes after Diwali and is celebrated in most part of southern karnataka. As far as I remember this was the first time I missed celebrating this small pooja  with my mom in our home town. Now that I am living with my wife home away from home, we celebrated it in even smaller way, in the most congested area of our balcony :)

It happens… When you are happy for all the good reasons, not aware of what lies ahead across the lane… Sadness replaces the smile with heavy tears! It happens… ... ... No matter what happens, it's just the matter of time, the good things do come back... Hopes may go down, dreams may shatter It happens..  but only to make way for the new ones.

Why am I not grateful to what I have? Hmmm... This isn't something new or isn't something that I’ve heard  for the first time from my beloved. Life, which I always said is beautiful but depend on the way we look at it… But, do I really mean it or have I lived the way it is said? When my grades went down – I felt bad for not getting a chance to appear for the campus interview, instead of looking into what is going wrong or concentrating on correcting myself… When I did get chance to write one – I felt bad for not getting into the big ones, though I had not prepared enough or wasn’t worthy of… When I did get a good job – after some time, I felt I shouldn’t have changed my mind during seat selection of engineering, which resulted in, me changing the course which I had initially got. If I had not, I would have got something even better.. When I did change my job – after some time, I felt it is not enough.

Disclaimer: As the name goes, this post is only about a sport which has more followers than any religion! courtesy:  therabbitrun.com   In a country, over obsessed by the so called religion – Cricket, there aren’t many supporters of Football. But since the last couple of years, thanks to the media & internet, the obsession is drastically changing or I can say is not just cricket anymore. I grew up watching cricket from Tests to One day’s to even local cricket matches. The fact that my dad was a cricketer and was the captain of a local cricket team – Pioneer, had a major role during my naming ceremony. Yup, I was named after the legend at that time Sunil Gavaskar . I don’t know whether my dad dreamt of me being a cricketer, but anyway, I never even looked like a sportsmen though I was interested in and even tried playing couple of them – Cricket being the most part of it. I am sure, majority of Indian youth have spent considerable amount of their childhood in either watchin...
