As the days passed by, I became so addicted to this new found Obessesion, It became hard for me to imagine any other thing other than IPL in Life during evening times, I was so obssessed with IPL, I Forgot what was happening around my Personal Life, Yeah I realiesed, It was a IPL indeed, a Big Interruption to my Personal Life!
I ran early from office to home to watch IPL, Even if I stayed at the Office during these time I knew I would do only one thing hitting the refresh button F5 on IPL20 or any other site which give latest score information. So instead of pretending to be working at Office at late hours, I ran home early daily .At Home I was doing so much of household work myself, I was completely giving a deaf ear to all these things in last one Month.I didnt realise My Age Old Mother is feeling the pinch, becoz I used to assist her so much before the IPL kicked off.Now she is doing all the things alone herself.
My Marriage is round the corner, Not to talk of my official life it has entered into critical Phase of development life cycle.I kept on postponing the things till IPL extravaganza gets over.
Indeed IPL Mega final is going to be held few Hours from now, Now I am realisng how much I lost and How Much I gained.Suddenly I realise my personal life has stopped where it was before Apr 18th, Its not that I have not been doing any other thing apart from watching IPL all these days .But ,I have been deferring so many important things in my Personal life,I feel the pinch of this at this juncture
I have only 2 weeks to go for my marriage, I have umpteen number of tasks to be completed for the same viz shopping, inviting friends ,making arrangements for the reception so on
On the Other Side I have to deliver so many things on the official side before I go on for long Vacation,
I realise wht the Hell I have been doing all these days,The Cricketers came,became Stars and gone, Earned thousands and thousands of dollars, They have become rich and won accoloades. I realise they were doing their duties to make their lives better.I was caught in a trap of some senseless obsession
To Add Insult to the Injury is the state of Ordinary Person from a Middle Class Family, Despite with the Heavy raise in Inflation,Thousands and Thousand of Ordinary People bought tickets for IPL which were being sold at sky rocketting Prices to watch these matches (yeah its all hard earned money).All these Money is being looted by whom at the end of the day? Its the stars from other countries,The Business men(so called Franchises) making merry for the advantage of their own personal motives.
Neverthless Agreed these Cricketers are giving entertainment for the crowd, But is this only the way of Entertainment a common man can have in life? Certainly not.If I had put daily at least 1/4th of time I was watching IPL all these days in some recreational activity myself Like playing some sport in my office campus or doing some Gym, It would have not only made my life healthier with some physcial exercise, But also would have increased my zeal to win tough situations which i would have entered while playing any sport myself, It would certainly make our mind Fresh and serve as a Confidence booster in other aspects of life
So from My Own Experience this time will be the last time, I would not repeat the same mistake ever again in my life
Next time around I would not Give IPL to interrupt my personal Life
but for as far as my life goes for me IPL from now on Means - Make each moment of my life as Interesting Periods of life ,Njoy to the fullest in my own way not giving a chance to external factors to take control of my life .After All this is my life I would njoy myself, Not just sit and brood over watching other peoples njoyments
