All Izzz Welll!

I have faced so many changes in life. Never once I had found it hard to adapt. The latest one being the most challenging of all, I am slowly starting to enjoy it though loneliness creep into my mind more than often.

Now I can confidentally say that I can be independant. I am ready to face anything and everything. Life has changed alot and never had I thought in my wildest dream to be what I am now. What I am lacking now is what I term it as 'priceless'.

Physically I am drained! I had a day off from office because of Ram Navmi but that day happened to be the day when we had a match against another sub division of my project. As usual, other than for cricket and football, you can never even have hope of me waking up early in the morning.

I woke up early in the morning, had a cup of chai and had gone to the ground in dadar, mumbai for the match. It is peak summber time here, and any time after 10, you will find the heat unbearable! We started the match exactly at 830 hoping to capitalize on the early morning 'chillness'. Our team won the toss and as usual batted first. I was lined up in the middle and seven out of ten times it will be in a situation where I will have to slog. This time around although I started of well, but didnt last long as I got out for 12 (Disappointment number one).

Fielding is one of my favourite activities, and since we had lots of fast bowlers they had asked me to do the wicket keeping as we were expecting many nick catches. Without any second thoughts I agreed thinking that it would be the best place to be in the scorching sun but it turned otherwise. As expected lots of nick were there but all were thick edges and it went for runs! and I had to run all the way back to field since we had no slip.

In one of those attempt to stop the ball, the ground being muddy I slipped and fell and thankfully that slip allowed me to stop the ball earlier than expected but none of them in the ground knew I had slipped instead were thinking i slided and stopped the ball showing great committment :D The sad part here is my back was gone!! that was a real ackward drop which my back collided so hard with the ground! :( (it has almost been a week and Im still having the pain :()

Just when I was thinking, ok it is one of those days, a spin bowler bowled and so I stepped up to keep up to the stumps. My bad luck, the first ball, I got hit at a place where it is not supposed to get hit! that ached like anything. For a moment my head started to roll! Although the impact was light, it was a unique kind of pain which is hard to explain and only guys know!

Finally when I headed back home, I thought a good rest would put off all these only to face different kind of problems! When I tried to sleep straight, back was aching and when I tried to front facing downwards, front was aching! I couldnt sit because of back ache. Hmm all I can do now is to say to myself 'All Izzz Well' :)
