Why doesn’t it come out?

Why doesn’t it come out?
Life is as what you make and I agree with that totally, but no one asks why does that ‘why’ happens?
Is it your attitude towards life or something else. By saying this I am not undermining the fact that life is not good or everyone is living a miserable one. It is for the fact that you come across more number of people whom you ask and most of the time the answer is –ve and none more than yours.
If it involves you that why is it that’s bothering you then I guess you might already know the answer as it is your own creation in your own way.
I for one is like a fork who has three never meeting ends and the day I become a spoon where every thing is converging I can have my soup, till then I just have to be content with life slipping like noodles from it.
But again we come to the same point, why is my life not better, why am I not feeling good.
You have your personal life, you have your social life and then you have your professional life.
Is there a problem in any of them? Or is there more to it?
Well if there is one thing then you can try to resolve it or think over it! But if it’s a cause of more than 1 or 2 or all then you’ll end up becoming a fork. Useful yet unuseful.

Full Circle

Well it is an old but true saying that life comes in full circle in different ways and different forms of life. Well as per the current happenings the talk of the town is definitely centered around cricket after we won the T20 championships. Much to the amazement and surprise of people we won but i don't totally agree with that ki as were no-hopers but still we won. Lets just look why:
1. An attacking player and after that(skipper) Dhoni...
2. Yuvraj - if he comes into his own then u don't know what he can do...
3. Uthhapa- Exciting young prospect
4. Sehwag - can do wonders at times....
5. Pathan - his all round skills wud be handy in 20-20 match
and that's not all we had good fielding coming along with them which was an added bonus. why i have given only these names is because it is a 20 over format and all it would require is for a couple of batsman to score in a few overs and the job is done. Bowlers i have not thought much is because it is still a batsman biased format till the end so they don't much have to say. So from all this i never agreed with those who said India wouldn't do well in this format.
Well that's gone now the excitement has again back shifted to the task in hand... and i.e Aussies..
the unltimate team to beat and for that we have to match them man to man,runs to runs, wicket to wicket...
The T20 semis victory still gives me more pleasure than anyother victory in that tournament just becuase of the fact that it was against the aussies.
They had so much over confidence going into the match that they actually forgot that it requires effort and hard work to still achieve ur goals( remembering the comments given by M.Clarke saying anything above 200 would be a concern for us)
i dont know why but i believe it is a mental block in the Indian team's pscyhe that we r unable to put it across them when we play them and to prove the point, here is a fact the last ODI we won against them from the current win in Chandigarh was way back in 2004 in Brisbane.. and to rub salt into the wounds we last one chasing against them was ages ago in 1998 when Sach single handedly won us the sharjah and stormed us into the final and won that also.... so it wud further take much much more effort to chase against them.
If we see in the current past we have beaten all the teams and i mean all the teams be it SA, WI, Eng(our current bunny), Pak(we have crushed them anywhere u name it), NZ(not convincingly but ok), SL(barring that World cup debacle we have smashed them also), Bang(Better not talk but play). So what it is against the aussies that we fail to put it across them, we can c that other sides manage to beat them more regularly than us so where lies them problem, may b in the mind , may be in the heart....
The answer from me is SELF-BELIEF, we give in even before the match is over
i still recall yesterday only when the aussies reqd 16 in the last over and James Hopes and Brett Lee batting everyone in the ODC were saying they wud win, they wud hit a couple of sixes and it wud be over. Ok my point is guys guys pls wait just think who is batting is not a symonds or hayden or gilchrist or ponting but lower order batsmen so give some chance to us also... and in the end everyone was happy but they had no words in their mouth to back what they r saying...
I dearly hope that this win would surely go a long way to give it....
The win in T20 has shown is this game is agr8 leveller
both the sides that once were trashers best story sellers of world cup debacle reached the final and played a great won... the intense pressure, intense competition was there to be seen by every-1
So no matter what ponting, symonds , gilly and team blabber that we r over-joyed by the victory of T20 just dunnot loose ur self-belief and keep working hard towards ur goal.
Let them say that but the fact is fact we beat them on the road to finals and no one and no one can change that. Their ego is hurt more than pride. they r the world champs and no one can deny that but we have in us to put it across them and we require is dedication, show that and we'll get the results....
I am always there for support and to this day i still feel that had Australia batted second in the 2003 and 2007 finals they surely would have lost either one of them(2003 more possiblity as India was in Tremendous form)
