Once upon a time, long long ago….

Every story that was told during our school days, tales started with this opening ‘ Once upon a time long long ago’.. I just realized that’s how my blog has become. Its turned out to be an olden golden period. I have been seriously thinking of reviving and giving it some life.


Let me see if I actually stick to my reviving agenda.

Little do I know about cricket. But hey! Wait, here is my cousin who dreams, sleeps, talks, walks and breathes cricket. It is just not a dream but a dream come true. No dream is a success or achievement till there is hard work and dedication. Behind any success or achievement there is a whole lot of hard work, self-driven PASSION towards achieving the goal, BOOST and MOTIVATION at every moment.

Only a handful of independent houses left; and with multi-storied flats and corporates around our house, the view afar is completely cut off. I was wrapped up in the thoughts of the pleasant past.
