When a dream comes true!


If someone asked me to choose between playing cricket for one more time and dying or living for 20 more years with lots of money and a wonderful life sans cricket! I would choose the former.

This is what cricket means to me, and that is why when given the option of choosing between my heart and my mind I again chose the former.

Winning the Royal Challengers Fanatic Fans' Challenge was like a dream come true. To be staying with the team, traveling with them, seeing how they prepare before a big game, living with the legends of the game like Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble is no small thing.

But, well then you always have to choose between things in life. My organization is not willing to let me go for this vacation in the making and a chance of a lifetime, but may be they do not know how big this is for me.

For someone who has always dreamed of playing once with the Indian team, always wondered as to how would life be for cricketers who are always under the scanner.

This is my big chance, this might not be the biggest platform any person can get to make his entry into the cricketing media industry but this could be a different start.

I cannot recall if someone has ever got a chance like this before to be part of a comparatively smaller team in terms of following but this is by no means a team of smaller or rather unknown cricketers!

The picture above is something that will remain etched in my heart for the rest of my life. It could be the beginning of a new life, a new start and this could be the time where I decide to go where my heart is!

I KNOW how much cricket your blood is made of!

This is the chance of a lifetime and you have NO reason to opt out!

I cannot imagine u staying back. Its payback time for your company for all that you have put in for them... and they should drown in guilt if are thinking of not letting u go!

Your profession is your source of livelihood, you passion is your reason to live! So Romeo... go for it!
