THE TURNING SWITCH
It's always tough to follow our passion when you're not supported by the society .
It was all about my childhood , and we all stuck to the television . It was the final match between INDIA and AUSTRALIA in 2003 cricket world cup . All our nerves were tightly gripped to see our country's world cup win but to our tears we were left with the runner up . That day a dream aroused in every child to become a cricketer. I was one among them and with all the desire I bought a new bat . Cricket is treated as a relation in India . Me along with my friends used to play cricket every weekend and we mastered some good skills . Years passed by and it was the high time for cricket selections in my place and to our bad luck It was the same time for matriculation exams . It's a firm believe of every person in society that only an engineer or a Doctor would become successful in Life . With this motto our parents made us to leave cricket and prepare for the exam . From then we never turned ourselves to cricket because we were forced to enter engineering . Of course I couldn't have made it to nationals but atleast I could have had some satisfaction
Hopefully I've entered good engineering college . I could get some handful of free time , this free time now made me Switch my interest towards writing .This desire made to read more and more articles and books. My mind started to prefer books rather than movies . I could sense a change in me . It made me to leave the sorrow that I underwent for not being a part of cricket team .I'm pretty sure that this time no one is going to stop me . Moreover I could locate steemit and find some like minded people around here . Some times I feel good for leaving cricket because I couldn't have been to steemit if I'm a cricketer .
Cheers to myself !!
My heartful thanks to @mariannewest for helping people like me and making an environment for the writers #freewrite . Prompt-Switch
Cheers to you! Writing and reading are both valuable ways to better your mind. I've never played cricket before (I am from the States) but I can identify with your love of sport because I was always outside playing football or basketball with friends while growing up.
I decided to switch it up for today's #freewrite. Check it out and let me know what you think =)
yeah I know , I generally watch many english movies and Tv series , they would focus more on baseball , basketball and football . Cricket is played only in some nations . Thanks for your warm comment .
Everything happens for a reason!! :D

if you could make upto top engineering college you might have made upto ranji's at least.
