"Its been a while" since I blogged. "Its been a while" since I penned my thoughts. "Its been a while" since I even visited my own blog . But I have some thoughts today to pen down. I have ended up as the captain of the cricket team of the division I work for and previously we had a disastrous tournament (in Dec) where the only match we won out of 4 was a walkover ! I had even said "I quit " as a captain but the team stuck with me and helped me through it as I was really depressed with that. We flattered to deceive.
Ever since, we have put in constant efforts in order to play better cricket and have had better practices and have tried out different combinations. We even organised weekly quizzes on the mailer and "Crowning" the winner of these quizzes to raise awareness about cricket and slowly from the usual religious 5 people who used to turn up for practice, we had constantly around 8-10 people coming in. And to add to it, we just did not have the same old people , but we had new faces as well. What this has taught me is that constant effort will definitely bear fruits , so far it has in terms of all that I mentioned , but the real test starts next weekend when we play a tournament .
We had to struggle real hard with the management to get the money to play the tournament or even buy a bat and finally got the money after promising them that we will win atleast one match. My inspiration has been Rajasthan Royals from IPL, who have shown that planning and more importantly executing that plan has great impact. We have a better team with better skills and dare say, better team spirit as people have gotten to know each other better coz' they actually come on Saturday mornings ( thats right! After a whole week of hard work, getting up and coming on Saturday mornings especially for family people is a very tough ask and people have been doing it).
And so the tournament starts on May 17th and I am nervous and silently confident that this time our preparations have been much better than before and we should perform better as well and have a good amount of fun on the field .
And our anthem for the tournament - its the blog heading - "Together we Excel".
