You can get back at everyone whoever wronged you, wanted you to fail, or held you down by simply being happy.
There is nothing that makes an adversary feel more powerless than you just continuing to live your life as though they never affected it, because they never did.

i come back to it every now and then just to reset how i think about things
The summer I grew up in no longer exists.
Not because we got softer. Because it genuinely got harder.
Growing up, summer was simple. School bag under the bed. Entire day yours.
Lane cricket until noon.

The heat was there. It was always there. But it was background noise — not the main character.
2026 summer is different. 11am to 4pm is now a survival window.
The car parked in the sun is a furnace.
Kids move from AC home → AC car → ticketed indoor play area.
The lives of cricketers have become so intrusive that cameras are now recording every step and conversation we are having in privacy with our friends and colleagues, at training or on match days.
Despite asking Star Sports to not record my conversation, it was and was also then played on air, which is a breach of privacy. The need to get exclusive content and focused only on views and engagement will one day break the trust between the fans, cricketers and cricket.
Let better sense prevail.
Passion of R Ashwin is something else. Legend doesn't mind being 12th man and running to the field with drinks just to keep the spirits up.
And then selflessly giving tips and supplying encouragement to the bowler who is the reason for him not playing. Absolute team guy.
Rohit's knock today may not count as a milestone in traditional sense. But trust me it's a milestone moment in Indian cricket. Of a captain staying true to his style of play and walking the talk on the big stage! #INDvNZ#CWC2023
Well played Virat.
It took me 365 days to go from 49 to 50 earlier this year. I hope you go from 49 to 50 and break my record in the next few days.
Congratulations!!

Wow, Afghanistan. I thought the win over England was their biggest day on a cricket ground. But this run-chase might even top that. Take them seriously because the maturity they showed today was so admirable. I am voting for this over the England game.
