Logical Decisions, Emotional Drain

There are times when we take some decisions which are correct and look to be the right one's but the price of these decisions is so huge that it becomes very difficult to stand by them. These decisions drain emotionally as one wants to do completely the opposite, as they are driven more by the emotional sense then logic. It's times like these that we look for an emotional support from our loved and dear ones, people who can stand by you and allow you to stand by your of decisions.

The Test - A Thrill, A heart-stopper

The test match drew to a fitting final day and it sure lived up to the billing.............india vs australia encounters are always interesting ones and this one was no different. The match kept looking like a pale draw until the end of third day, a nice display of bowling changed the complexion of the match on the fourth day, thanks to an inspired spell from ishant sharma and the match just turned on its head. By evening of fourth day, india was back on the crease batting to win/loose the match as it may go, top order caved in the last hour of 4th day, it just took 17 overs. The top order had meekly caved in, with the same old sinking feeling "there we go again...................", but with sachin on crease hopes were alive ever so slightly. Fifth day started zaheer went back to pavilion early with MS following him in a bizarre run out. Laxman and tendulkar looked good until tendulkar got out and from there it was the same old story as it looked. India again looked like loosing the match on the 5th day, but it was not to be as a so called ishant sharma and one very very famous VVS had a script of their own to write with a golden lining. Ishant and laxman put up an 81 run stand bringing india into the match from the strong position of defeat and pulled off, one the most famous win's of the decade. laxman just stands out with his performance, although suffering from back spasm's, yet remained as calm as a monk for most of his innings. India pulls off a victory that will be remembered for sometime to come. The result was possible more because of the performance put in by the bowlers from both sides, they really gave it everything that they had and it showed, both teams had an equal chance up until the last run was scored....................................

The Weekend.......................

The weekend started with a tinge of excitement of watchin anjaana anjaani expecting some hilarious situations and a plot that would be a little more then the normal run of mill movies but it really paid to not spend too much money over it as the movie was just like the one yesteryear cricketer Ajit Agarkar, who flattered to deceive all his career just when people thought he would fulfil the potential he dashed those hopes like a hot potato.............................movie never seems to pick up or go down, it just goes on at the same pace with very predictable changes. The plot could have been presented in a much better way............., that one followed a lazy nap in the noon and some shopping and dinner at the Mac on CMH in the evening. Sunday was expected to be much more fun and entertaining as had plans to play cricket and relax in the evening. Cricket didn't go exactly as I was hoping it to be, was there n played but disappointed myself with my own performance......................and the evening was relaxed................which sums up the Week that ended.............
