Cricket - How life has changed over the years

Been years since I wrote anything in this webspace ...Uff... Hello folks... its me back once again into the bloggers world . Shall try my best to keep posting something often.

Cricket, few term it as a religion, few term it as a sport which has the largest fans around and the most watched sport especially in India. I from my childhood days have been playing cricket and been a part of many teams and have got medals as well as certificates. I still remember the days where I represented the teams during my school and college days and to tell you the fact it brings in a lot of cherished moments back.

With the family grown and work keeping the daily life on a tighter side has made me stay away from the sport for years now. But I still have the urge to get back to the ground early in the morning and brush my cricketing skills and start playing for the teams which I used to.. Provided they take me back..J.

Now coming to one good event which made me not only start blogging again, but also brought in a huge smile over my face was a cricket tournament organised by my few old cricketing pals who still play even now. Playing cricket had not only improved my skills but also made me acquire a lot of friends.

During my initial IT life, I used to ask my colleagues whether they play and how about forming a cricket team. Loads of positive and negative views and with a lot of years waiting I managed to get a team formed and called it "Trendsetters". Initially the team had very few players who knew how to play but as we grew the team started performing tremendously. We were known as a team which was really hard to beat and we even started performing well in tournaments and bringing in laurels back. During those days we encountered a small team which was also in its growing stages. Those were people whom we got introduced via a common friend in R.A.puram ground and started playing with them. They were a bunch of youngsters who were in full josh to win matches but were failing to do with us and as days progressed we started to have a good relationship with them wherein we mingled our teams and started playing.

Over the years, few colleagues who were my team players started leaving the company and the team slowly started dissolving and at one final stage it was the end of the team Trendsetters. But one good thing which happened was since we formed a good rapport with the folks playing in R.A.Puram few used to go and play with them. Now after about 4 to 5 years the team has grown bigger in size and skills and now hey are called as Team "Cocktails". They started their own FB group posting pics and updating weekly on the cricket played as well as wishing players on Bday's and other stuffs.

Recently they had a tournament organised and to my surprise it was a tournament organised within their own team players and to top it all I was called upon to grace the occasion. Initially I felt whether I need to go but then decided I have to be a part of it cos it is basically a team which I was a part of formation and it is my guys who are playing. Making my presence out their bought in a smile to almost all players who knew me and welcomed me since they are meeting/seeing me after close to 2 to 3 yrs. It was such a bliss seeing such young talents the way they have come up over the years and how well they are playing now.

I made sure I stayed their the entire day to see the matches and I was also called upon by the organizers to give away medals and the trophies to the players and teams who won the tournament. Looking back now as to how the cricket started and how the teams were formed and how the players whom we introduced now are playing brings in that happiness within me that Cricket has always been an integral part of my life and it has made me gain a lot of friends and contacts whom I can depend and have fun anytime I want too. Thanks a lot to my old Team "Trendsetters" as well as all players of "Cocktail XI"

Pongal Celebrations

Hey guys!!! Wishing all viewers a Happy Pongal

13th Jan 2009 - Started as a normal day where I woke up as usual at around 8.15 am, finished the morning duties and sat to read the paper. Was going through the news about Satyam frauds and what they are upto still and the other happenings when I hear a loud noise, "Cuckoo.. would you mind having a bath it is getting late to office" Courtesy Mom. Ok ok.. and got myself prepared for the days work.

I reached office at around 9.30 am signed in the register and the first thing which stuck in my eye when I entered was 4 sugarcanes lying on the floor and the office boys starting to tie the thin ropes at the corners of the walls to hang few decoration stuffs. Ohh.. then I realized that the pongal decorations are on in the office. This usually happens every year where the ladies take some time off there work schedule to sit together in preparing the rangoli.

The day started for me by getting myself busy in working out few reports which have to be submitted for the day and replying mails. This took about half the day for me and just when i thought I need a walk, I could see the office boys and the ladies of our office getting themselves ready to decorate. The ladies as usual started their chatting before starting up with the rangoli stuff and then got themselves busy in doing it. This is the only time where you could actually see the ladies putting in there full efforts and concentrating to make the rangoli look as beautiful as possible. The only work where there is a lot of involvement among them. ha ha ha..


This time there was some add ons in the decorations like fixing up serial lights around the reception area where the decorations were made. The rangoli was prepared with a mixture of salt and color powder this time. Last time it was fully prepared with flowers. The sugarcanes were placed around the pongal pot and the decorations went on well this time. At 5 pm the pooja started and after the formalities we wished everybody and then settled ourselves to take few snaps.
