Still I am not able to accept the fact that India had exited from the world cup '07, even though new series has been started. Ofcourse I am also like one-in-million die-hard Indian cricket fan. It happened to be a biggest upset for Indian Cricket at world cup -a cricket CARNIVAL. Literally cried whole night when "minnow" like Bangladesh thrashed India
on an one-sided match. All my excitement have gone in vain. In that painful situation just reminded myself one of the story from Osho's book, in that he says, the only sentence which should give you the strength when you are in sorrow and should make you look ahead for other goals when you are happy is "Life moves on.....".
And thats true.
I am not scratching the wound. Just amazed the way people/media reacted on India's defeat even though ,I know its hard to digest the fact. Reality bites.
Huge echo of hue and cry made me to write some thing on this. In the odd time we all read some very useful things.But the problem is no one really impliments it.
I remembered a quote written by one of my friend in school's slam book, "Life is a game, play it"- looks very simple, but very meaningful. On the contrary quote does not say..
"Life is a game, win it..!!" There is no word "win" in that quote, that was the most important thing.
At the end of the day, Cricket is a game like any other. So, what the big fuss in it. Always expectations do not come true. Game is always an un-predictable and it should be like that. If every results happens to be as predicted then, that is not a game at all. Only rule in "Game Theory" suggests each player/team should get a "fair" chance.
Playing is the only thing which makes you to move on with a life, Not the winning or loosing (or even a tie..!!).
When emotions involved in a "Game", then it hurts. Hurts badly. I was watching yesterday a knock-out soccer match between two non-popular football clubs Charlton Athletic Vs Tottenham Hotspur, and it was a do-or-die situation for Charlton Athletic in their home crowd, but they lost 0-2 and they have "relegated" from the league. All Charlton Athletic supporters were crying. Tears falling from kids who were so passionate about the game. Intresting thing which I have observed is that, they all stood up and applauded
to their team, one of the supporter held the signboard written as "We will be back" , and that shows the spirit. Still tears were falling from their eyes...
Those are real fans of the game. It taught me a lesson inturn.
Game is a virtual mirror of life, same rules applies to life....Just PLAY it....play to win...never play to loose. If you play for win, then defeat does not matter much to you.
As Lord krishna long back summarizes whole thing in "Karmanya vadhikaraste Ma phaleshu kadachana...."
If you win its good, or just say yourself that, "I will be back...infact back with a bang....!!"
