Dear Friend,
This was lying in the draft folder for quite a long days. Decided to hit "Publish" button after reading the below quote ;-)
I think I am getting better with the writing. People who read our conversation encouraged me to keep writing.And that gives me many reasons to feel good about myself. A friend who read the last post was saying, You don't finish something without talking about "Cricket" ? ;-) And he is correct. I always thought Cricket is my identity. From my childhood when I started watching Cricket I found myself talking to different kinds of people about the game & about every single details the game I know. It helped me to communicate with the people I meet in my life travel.When it comes to sports, the phrase ‘It’s a man’s world’ still largely applies, specially when it comes to team sports such as football, basketball or Cricket and their coverage in the media. I got many good friends while discussing Cricket and people noticed me differently. I still fondly remember the days where I played street cricket with the boys of my age group, broke the glasses of neighborhood, hurt many with the furious shots I play.Memories were still afresh. When I was in my tenth class during an exam I'd to write an essay on my favorite sport in Tamil II paper. It was during the bad time of the sport. Fixing Saga that stained former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin & the late South African skipper Hansie Cronje. Without a doubt I wrote about Cricket. My strict Tamil teacher who was once a regular follower of the sport turned down on anything related to Cricket. While distributing the papers in the class she mentioned me to the whole class saying about my quote "I only hate the players who involved in the fiasco and not the sport which gave me immense pleasure" with a teasing tone. And my uncanny friendship with an elderly man at my workplace when he found me following the scorecard of one of the matches;) I also want to remember Mandira Bedi who has a profound knowledge in Cricket. She was a star presenter during ICC Cricket World Cups in the years 2003 and 2007.
And I must admit the above posted thought arouse me to write this one ;) I hope I have exciting days lying ahead of me . Be there with me always.
Yours lovingly,
Fatima J :-)
