Welcome back after a two days break. Hope this was the longest break!

On Saturday, I went for usual walk after the short rain in the evening. In the way, I saw a children playing cricket which reminded me of my cricket playing days. Those unforgettable sixes, fours, catches, wickets, run-outs and above all the feeling after those wins and defeats. They used to matter so much those days ! Whenever I remeber my cricket, I always remember a few golden moments. First, the 7-1 series win held in between Durga Puja and Diwali in 2001 in which I led the team with example and giving my best all round performance (Even now I miss Abhijeet). Second, the great six which I had hit in the bowling of Afsar, after being provocated when the next period's bell rang. It took us a couple of days to search that ball. Third, my well deserved century under pressure which helped my team to win the match that mattered. Fourth, the great catch of Rajeev Ranjan to give me a hattrick in 1999. Fifth, the one-ball duck when I was playing for my village (dewagram,Bokaro) and a lot has been expected of me. Though, I bowled well we lost the thrilling match by 1 wicket in the last ball (It was a dropped catch converted into 2 runs). Besides all these, I cant forget my hatricks - one in each in std 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 12th and two in 9th; my fieldings having 100% efforts; my always-above-run-a-ball batting and the team spirit which we had in school days.

Coming back to present, yesterday was an uneventful but a packed day. I had gone to Jaynagar 4th Block, where I bought an iron box and 2 T-shirts - Ya, I am just thinking of shifting to T-shirts again for a short duration. In the evening I went to Forum, then Reliance Fresh and finally DS Paradise after having my dinner.

Today morning was not a great one. I woke up after Chinu left for office and the current was @ its best in choosing to leave our flat. I had to search for my formal pant as I couldn't iron today's clothes - a result of laziness though. I should have ironed it yesterday :(

Today, Anubhav Dixit has a status message "Any girl can look glamorous; all she has to do is stand straight and act dumb !" Nice and humorous :) Nothing much today.
