Sometimes ....

A long time ago .... when I think I was in the 11th std ... I was playing in a house cricket match. I never was much of a cricket player ... more a soccer player... but being assistant house captain I was there to fill the numbers. The other team was winning and it was down to one partnership that we weren't able to break. And everyone on the team was angry with me for giving away a strategy - I blurted out there is no fielder at square leg which was the team strategy that I didn't pay attention too... :D ... anyway I was at mid wicket sulking a bit when an over throw came in my direction. I chased the ball turned around and threw it back. It bounced twice and hit the wicket on the bowlers end. And then everyone started shouting and came running towards me. I didn't comprehend what had happened cause I thought the runner was well in. Apparently he hadn't grounded his bat! That was the turning point in the match.. :D

Anyway all these years later I remembered that incident right now cause I am in a similar situation in life.. I am chasing the ball... turning and throwing blindly and hoping its a turning point....
