Conversation with a Cricket Ball

Yes, You read that right. This post is what a cricket ball would probably ‘say’ (if it could talk) in a Newspaper Interview:

(ShreeG represents Interviewer from Newspaper; CB represents Cricket Ball)

ShreeG: "Good Morning, We are conducting this interview for our National Daily Newspaper ‘ShreeG Times’ and are now talking to Mr. Ball"

CB: "Excuse ME... I am not a ball. I am THE chosen one!"

ShreeG (confused): "You are not a ball??"

CB: "Of course not: I am a member of God’s Kingdom! I was chosen to represent the warriors in this battle to save the people of your world. Thousands of your people come only to watch me & to receive my message."

ShreeG: "Well… Yes, everyone comes to watch you, but its not war."

CB: "Not War? Don’t your men put up a fight for simply holding me in their hand? It is about war & peace."

Why am I Alive?

Sitting alone, I saw a woman suffering in pain because of her disease. I sat by her bedside for days at length, holding her hand & praying to God to bless her with good health again.

Then one day, she passed away.

I am aware that death is the most inevitable aspect of our lives. But if ultimately it is death that I have to brace, then why live at all. What’s the point? One fine day, it will all be over. No people around me, no food clothing shelter problems, no finances to manage, no health problems to address, no relationships to manage, no need of taking care, no coxing, no pampering of people who make it a point to do the exact opposite of what I want.

In a way, I would say ‘WOW!!! WHAT FREEDOM!!!’.  Suddenly death sounds like a much better idea than being alive. In that case why the hell am I still alive and kicking?

I gave this a thought & these are Top 5 reasons that come to my mind about Why I am alive:
