How do people get addicted to things? I am using a generic term here. Things include everything which can make a person fall for it easily. Games like cricket and football are no exceptions. Is there a way out of this? How not to be a puppet in the hands of these? Dont think this blog is going to answer all these. This just raises a few questions someone else can probably answer :P
Everyone of you must have heard about the most modern version of the gentleman's game. People call it T20. Doesn't the name itself sound like that of a drug? The reason i thought about this now is simple. There was a match today between our motherland and the motherland of T20 cricket. The match went onto the wire leaving the audience at the edge of their seats till the very last ball. And at the end when one team wins, it goes without saying that the other team has to go back to the pavilion hiding their disappointment not because of letting the other team win but because of seeing their celebrations after winning. And at the end of the day, its their profession and they get paid for it. But what about the millions who spend their precious time not doing their work, but watching others do their work on the field. If you ask such people to raise their hands, the first hand you see will be of your beloved blogger.
This man once upon a time used to be the watchman of the tv room whenever there was a match. By the time he learnt the consequences of spending his life infront of that idiot box, he himself couldnt be sure whether the time had already flown out of his hands. But to his luck, the situation was not as bad as he expected. After going through rehabilitation process for some time, he could recover from that dreaded disease. But the traits of illness had still left in him - hidden.
He was living a happy life after getting recovered (although not fully) from the disease teasing those fools who still had not received the arise-awake-and-stop-not-till-your-goal-is-reached call. But the dare devils, warriors, knight riders, challengers, super kings and all were powerful enough to bring him back to his old-self. And now as the old faces give way to sparkling new generation of hard-hitting giants, its even more difficult to repeat the whole process of rehabilitation.
So here comes he offering a wonderful reward for his good readers who come up with a nice idea to help him come out of the crisis.

O.o .. never expected u cud give up on cricket for something..! good u came back..! :P
pursue other hobbies of urs, watever those may be - reading/listening to music/photography etc. etc... u can also try outdoor activities such as trips, trekking, rock climbing etc. now that u r in b'lore... also go around b'lore and nearby places... its fun to explore new places!
surprised that you see this as an addiction
That way every hobby would be classified as an addiction. Slong as its enjoyable, and it doesnt interfere too much with other important activities, whats the harm, i say!
(im not too big a fan of cricket i must admit, but i understand, what cricket's to u is tennis to me :-/ )
