Letter to God

Dear Story Writer/ Destiny Developer/ Life Controller,

Do you believe in fairy tale endings?

I like to believe that you do.

If you don't, then reconsider the situation in hand -

A boy who started playing the game in the winter of 1989, and stood against one of the most deadly bowling attacks of that time(Pakistan). He took blows on his body, bled from his nose but didn't refuse to continue and help the country. A boy who made the journey toward manhood while playing the beautiful game of cricket.

21 years later, he is about to play his last few matches for the country. In these 21 years, he has broken almost every record that a batsman can dream of, gave nightmares to bowlers, helped the country win umpteen number of times and still remained as humble as a legend can ever be.

For years, he was the lone bullock who carried the cart which had 10 other Indians. For years, he scored centuries only to see his teammates negate the effect. For years, he believed in the team and gave his all to help the country win matches. And in all these years, never did he ever complaint about the lack of support or the criticism he received for not helping the country win.

However, after all these years, he now has a team that is CAPABLE of supporting him. He is not the lone bullock anymore.

Now is the time for his dream to come true. A dream he had for the past 21 years. He lost his father in the process of achieving it once, but didn't give up the dream. On other times, carried the team till the finish line, only to see them give up just before the end!

He gets a shot at fulfilling his dream, one more time! One last time. And for what he has done for the country, it is only fair that his teammates repay him by supporting him fulfilling his dream. We can be rest assured he will be at his best, all we do need is some average cricket from the other 10 players.

It is time for us, the crowd of 1 billion people, to pray for him and our country. It is time for the universe to conspire and grant the wish of 1 billion people. It is time for the story writer, the life controller, the destiny developer to make this a fairy tale ending.

It is time for the God of Cricket to receive a a gift from the God of this world.
It is time for little master to achieve what he truly deserves.

IT is time for the showdown!

Hey You! Yes, You.

You make me smile and smile so often that I hate to say goodbye!

You make me laugh, and laugh so often that I hate to be alone

You make me think, and think so often that I hate to have met you so late

You make my ears red, and red so often that I believe in emotions again

You make me strong, and strong so often that I almost love to be weak sometimes

You make me understand, and understand so often that I thank god for blessing me with an angel

You make me believe in the small joys of life, and do it so often that I often feel I missed out on so much in life

You make me share, and share so often that I feel light like a butterfly

You kindle me, and kindle me so often that I feel inspired

You make me love, and love so often that I believe in love again

You make me smile and smile so often that I hate to say goodbye! ♥

Brilliance, I say!

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."
