Dark Horse Arts and Sciences

You will be forgotten, however good or capable you are. Your images inside people’s minds will deteriorate slowly and gradually like winter vanishing from the earth, giving way to a toiled summer. Everything that you have ever done for anyone will steadily be sent into someone’s mind’s recycle bin. This is the bitter truth, and the truth that’s even saddening is, this is absolutely inevitable. It cannot be avoided, there’s no way we can undo it. It’s just human nature; to forget, to be ungrateful towards others, always wanting more from them. 

I feel so depressed and anxious to be just thinking about the fact that I may not see Suresh Raina ever again with bat and ball in his hand in any form of cricket. The day he retired from International cricket, along with his best buddy, MS Dhoni, the event left me filled with utter bewilderment, it had me devastated inside and out, just realizing that I won’t see them ever again in those proud blue uniforms. It was out of nowhere, just like a deer on the night road just before a car accident. Disinterest grew inside me about the sport and I had even thought of not watching the game anymore, it was so melancholic and distressful. And recently, he went unsold in the IPL auction, which is completely disrespectful and insulting for a guy who has so many runs under his belt in IPL.

You know what, I don’t have words anymore. After writing the previous sentence, I just sat there in front of my laptop for almost half an hour. I can’t write about it any more. It’s very depressing.
