Me,My blog and IPL..!!!

Why blogging??? i think many have this question?? even i wondered why do people blog.?? but i got the answer when my brother started blogging... there are some emotions,expressions and opinions within us which cannot be spoken out... they can only be written.. and i feel writing is the best form of expression. For those who are not the best speakers(like me) but have loads of things to say blogging is a best platform!!!..its ur place... and u can wrtie just about anything that comes to your heart...thats the significance of the url of my blog.... many may complain thats a long "sentence" for an url but i cudnt have thought of a better name than that.... so what ever i ll be writing will be straight from my heart.... no second thoughts about that!!!!.. to be honest even i didnt know i can write so well before i took to blogging..... what with my own fan base waiting for a new post from me!!! there are just a handful of people who read my blogs though... not bad for a beginner i must say!!

hmmm enough of self praise i guess ..talking about other things.....

it was good to visit bangalore last weekend after almost a year... enjoyed the trip even if it was only for 2 days ..i had been there for the ISRO written test but it was more about relaxing and getting a change than about the test itself....

also time s good to enjoy a bit of IPL.... interesting season i must say (even though rain played a dampner for some of the important clashes) cos the points table seems to be overturned (not for RCB though)with deccan chargers and mumbai indians on top and CSK and rajastan royals in the bottom half of the table..i had decided that i will support RCB this season even though they didnt fair well last time...what with new additions peterson and ryder(in great form coming into this season) . i didnt expect them to win but atleast hoped them to give a tough fight and my expectation went up further with their win in the first match against defending champions and doing it convincingly and rahul in great form as well. but that was it!!! They went sliding down after that back to their position at the bottom of the table.. but i ll still be supporting RCB... cant ignore the regionalism  u see!!!...i reckon they didnt even have the luck of rain washing out  any of their matches so that they cud have shared the points as well as the last position with CSK!!!!!!!! but that was not to be.... hoping for them to fair better atleast in the second half of the season !!!

last but not the least it s a peasure to see all the senior players giving the youngsters a run for their money... who ever told T20 is a young man's game???? be it Sachin,Rahul, kumble,warne,gilly,hayden,murli,gibbs,jayasurya........oh god they are having a blast aren't they...!!! some of them were even dropped from the ODI and T20 squads for their respective countries.. and now they are proving a thing or two with their game..... are you watching Mr.Dhoni...???

P.S: i found it really hard to give a title to this post....thats because i started writing something and ended up with something else..........any suggestions.....????

.....Aashini.

hmmm… it took a fairly long time to continue….the reason is that I was busy with the project work..so here goes the rest of the story…

After the beautiful Sunday our next pit stop was two days later at the Missionaries of Charity which is a home for the disabled and old aged. Initially it was bit disturbing for some of us because we had never seen such people so closely before… but as the time passed we almost forgot the difference between them and us… that's the magic -- you forget your worries because u realize that ur problems are nothing when compared to their’s … … you almost lose yourself…at the same time u also you feel how blessed you are!! A special mention to those taking care of these people with so much endurance and without a hint of annoyance… they have dedicated their entire life for the service of these people and all they believe in is the principle of Mother Theresa “unconditional love and service for the mankind”.

The next day was even more heart warming and a real eye-opener of sorts..… here we met kids who had amazing grasping powers and great level of skill.. they were so easily breaking the tiles(marshal arts),hitting wonderful cricket shots,and dancing beautifully….but the Irony is that they can neither hear us nor talk to us… Yes..it was a visit to the Deaf and Dumb school with around 50 boys… They were in NO WAY lesser talented or knowledgeable when juxtaposed with any other normal kid of their age… in fact they were even better!! Their disability is not at all a hinderance to them by any means… their dancing was exemplary even though they couldn’t hear the music…!!! and their synchronization was immaculate!!.It is to be seen to be believed.The best part was playing a cricket match along with them…. oh god that was so much fun and at the same time a truly satisfying experience of spending some valuable time with those kids.

All that these people expect from us is to be treated like equals and never to be looked down upon…. they require a sense of belonging in this world!!For that to happen people like us have to come forward… and lend a helping hand.So this program will not stop here…It is just the beginning… some of us are planning to visit these places often and do our bit by sharing knowledge and spending some time with them.

A big THANK U to everyone who have supported this cause either directly or indirectly and helped us in making it grand SUCCESS!!!!!

After this each one us have a great sense of satisfaction.. of having done something for a good cause which when we look back now we feel truly PROUD of….!!
Really.. these days have been one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives...the one's that we will cherish forever...

i think i don need to say more... the video says it all...this was made by some of my friends which is a compilation of pictures taken at all the places we visited...it sums up our entire experience!!!!
