Yesterday I was playing cricket with my friends in the local garden. Suddenly on of my friends Arnav hit the ball hardly and it hit a woman sitting on what we had made our boundary, we had told them not to sit there as it was the most common area where we directed our hits. The park in which we play is rather huge and that's why the people who come for a walk have a lot of options where to stroll but since there is only levelled pitch I and my friends don't have an alternative, the woman started talking rubbish I didn't hear much of her silly talks but my ears highlighted a line "Is this what they teach you a in school" I thought that things have gone way to far and I angrily blurted "No, they have taught us only to bat but there are no people sitting  on the boundary, and even if they are they go on our first request".
 This is not an occasional event in India, some people will not let us play until we entertain their kids.Once only once mind it I almost swore to a kid and he read my lips, he then made a seperate group and stopped coming to our park.
 One last incident which I want to share is about the rash behavior of parents of infants on teens. I had got hurt in my right foot's sole  so I could not play, as a stick had gone about an inch deep in my sole but I didn't get stitches ( Ah Phewwy!) , that day by mistake one of my friend Arnav, yes the one from the first incident had fell on an toddler's pram and the child didn't even get hurt but still the child's father took Arnav by his cuff yes cuff not his collar and shouted "Don't you have manners, you devil incarnate?". Manners?Manners? what do manners have to do with it and of course it was his fault to leave a pram on the sidewalk while he was busy on his smartphone. These parents are irresponsible and I now think there should be a fundamental right for children which tells how should they be behaved with in a park. Well what we wish for we don't get it most of the time.That's all for today, but I'll be bloggicating
