Absolute nail biter!

Imagine a situation in a cricket match. last bowl to be bowled. last run to win the match and last man standing at the crease. a Tense situation. Batting team stands more chances of winning. a spinner is bowling the last ball. the person who is facing the ball is not at good batting.all the fielders are inside the circle. it was 1 run in 3 balls earlier but the batsmen could not clear infield in last two balls. bowler starts his run up. when he is about to deliver the ball, he sees batsman coming down the track. he throws the ball wide of the batsman who misses the ball completely. keeper collects the ball neatly and knocks off the bails. the batsman is stumped out!. all the fielders are jumping in joy. they held the match. but wait. umpire has given it as wide ball!. Now what would be the result. we have seen strangest things happen in cricket, this is one of them ( though i do not remember such a thing happening ). The result might go in favour of batting team and might trigger a controversy and may force to introduce couple of new rules in cricket but would be really exiting to watch such a nail biter. all the blame would go the bowler.

now say 2 runs required of last ball and same batsman and bowler are in picture. all fielders inside the circle. batsman could not score off previous two deliveries. batsman comes down the track to hit the ball, bowler bowls a wide, batsman stumped out! match drawn! :-).

Cute.....

Recently heard ineresting conversation between a small girl ( about 6-7 years old ) and one elder guy ( may be her father ) . Perhaps the girl was asking him about his principal ( dunno exactly what she asked . we heard only the answer given by the guy ) and he answered ' we do not have pincipal's we have managers :) '

The smile.

11 PM onwards was the time usually i come home then. Was very busy @ work during those days. No time for any other personel things . i remember i missed many movies i wanted to watch during those days. Did not even visit my home town for weeks. there was stretch of period where i went to work for weeks (including weekends). All these things happened before i went to onsite. when i came back, every thing had changed. No late night stay in office. no more working on weekends. i was very glad to welcome these changes. but....
One might think i missed so many things being in office for hours just for the sake of more money and recognition. guys wait! here comes my answer. i agree i had missed many things in life while i was in office. but i used to stay late and work in weekend because i liked every bit of it. i did that because i was very much interested in what i was doing and was very keen to learn more. most of the times no one used to force me to stay back late in office . Got recognition and money that's fine . More improtant than that for me was every day i used to go home being satisfied with whatever i did that day. Every night before i sleep i used to see myself smiling and felt fresh by the thought that i utilised one more day of my life doing things which bring satisfaction to me. that satisfaction would drive me to work late next day.
It has been long time since then . Now a days, my work is not that hectic. i have lot of time for other things. of course i am enjoying this part of my life being little free, but that smile..... is sort of missing :-) .
