a Part from My Life !

As I turn 15, I am blessed to celebrate it with my family and friends. My mom in the past two days has done everything in her power to make it extra special for me.It is only fitting I write about her most favourite thing after me , her school , Sunbeam Kids. So let’s me take you down memory lane through the years of my mom’s small yet biggest thing in her life, a small contribution that has made a huge affect on so many children and how it has made her what she is today, strong , independent and proud of her achievements. And being a part of this journey is truly a privilege. It started with one student ,two teachers and one school help. I have seen it grow and flourish in front of my eyes. As the school has grown even I have. We both have grown under the caring and nourishing eyes of my mother.  I was just 5 years old w hen the school started in 2009 and I used to go there for the toys.

It was 4Km and my overconfident 10 year old self was thinking that it will be a piece of cake but I ended up panting before the end of the first 500 m. I don’t know how I finished that run but I was exhausted and realised that running is not as easy as it seems. Running long distance without practice is like writing an exam without preparin

This is a question that very often pops in my head. Why do I love cricket ? Do I see cricket for the thrill of it ? Well yes I do but that is just one reason.  I love cricket because I am proud to see my countrymen on the field making our nation proud.  They inspire millions of Indians , they prove that we must never give up on our dreams however unachieveable it may seem. Cricketers are an epitome of hard work, discipline, strength, perseverance and bravery. I say brave because they are brave enough to make a choice to follow their dreams. The game of cricket is like life. It throws bouncers at you. You have to duck them. It might startle you but you must be ready to play the next ball. It could be a juicy half volley which could be hit to the boundary. But unfortunately you don’t get many half volleys in life ,do you ? You might get a Yorker , but you can hit a helicopter shot six , MS Dhoni style. But it always won’t connect will it? You could miss the bowl and get bowle
