Capturing Moments

I had started this post long time back. I think it was supposed to be the second post of this new blog. Something was going on in my mind, and it did for a long time. But I don’t remember it now. :) That’s usual for me.

Hundreds of thoughts just pass by and I am unable to retain them. And now I realize that this post was something about this very wish of mine..Ability to Retain Moments.

I will try and complete the post and hopefully it will be close to the thoughts lingering on my mind.

-------------------------------------

I have been pondering about something and it has occupied my mind more than I would have liked. Now, it has become inevitable, that I put it down here.

To begin with, I want a record of each and every moment that I spend. A record, not only about what and how I am doing, but also of my feelings, my momentous decisions, my habits, my behaviour. Putting it straight, I want a record of each and every little thing that happen to me or things that I do. What I have observed and felt strongly in my 23 years of living a recordless life is that, there have been so many moments which deserved to be put down. There has to be a place where I can go and look back at those moments and smile and remember and learn from them.

Analogy?

Life is a cricket match and each moment is one ball bowled, or may be a wicket taken, or a cover drive for four, or a dropped catch, or a dog jogging along the pitch, or Inzy wondering why he got out when he played a perfectly defensive shot.

I am more than just amazed when I look at those moments after the match is over.

Click, Click and Click.

Hundreds of photographers swarm the ground's periphery, tucked behind those advertisement boards doing their job. Every moment in the match is a prospective chapter in any cricket history book. And they know that. None can afford to relax. There!..Sehwag just looked into the eyes of Rawalpindi Express. Click-->Captured.

I wish we had the same ability in our lives. Ability to secure moments as and when they occur. Yes, cameras and camcorders and celfone cameras are there. But its much more than just a click when it comes to the game of life. Its goes deep and there is a difference too. I don't want others (photographers) to do that for me. I want things from my perspective and unfortunately at the same time I don't want to put any amount of effort. I dont want to come back home and write in a diary..in a blog...in an email..or a chat or on phone. I want things unbiased. Pure and natural as they come.

I think I am not good at putting down my thoughts because when I read the above, I feel some thing missing.

Irrespective of how much we crib about Indian cricket and cricketers and their money making advertisements, we do love them and are crazy about it. A friend passed on a link to a video containing some of the best moments of Indian fielding in recent times and a punjabi background score :)

Enjoy!
