Just passed Chinnaswamy for the first time since the auction. I don't think I've ever passed Chinnaswamy and not smiled. Personally, it's an incredibly special stadium to me. Rohit scored his first 200 here. KKR won its second title here. I saw the craziest WC match against Netherlands here and a double super-over against Afghanistan too.
          	
          	Now that this is Venky's "home" ground, though, I guess that takes centre stage above all the good memories and I will avert my eyes from the floodlights every time I pass it :)
          	
          	It does not help, of course, that in the only away IPL match I've ever watched, here in Chinnaswamy, in our brilliant season of 2024, KKR won on a canter and the highest scorer was Venky :))

Hey, can you checkout my account @augustsanity for romcom chaos and drama.
          
          Here stories are mostly short reads, epistolary, friendship as core theme. No exaggerated nonsense just pure bliss comedy and romance, obviously. Also, i would suggest you to read "americano", cricket romance.
          
          Lots of love and success to you✨️

@Abhii_dipu Yess. He has so much room to grow, because the raw talent and winning-temperament is already present. These people have the potential to grow to great heights if they can get some things right..  I hope someone grounds him and gives him the scoldings he needs because he leaks runs and all that too (he has his father so)

Today's loss was gut wrenching in a way bilateral white ball losses haven't felt in a very long time to me. It's weird to say "it wasn't an important match" and still feel like it was important, so important somehow. Maybe because it felt like the old days... God Kohli anchoring an impossible chase. How does God fall short?
          
          But the number of people saying "sorry" in Harshit's comments suddenly made me smile.
          
          Everything that kid does is personal to me. 
          
          The hate he has received went way beyond what he deserved and Rahane saying he sometimes gets affected by it made it worse. His aggression on the field was extrapolated into unforgivable arrogance. People who took the trouble of getting to know what kind of person he is knew though, he's mostly a father's son and then a Nitish bhaiya and Shreyas bhaiya worshipper and then a Virat bhaiya and Rohit bhaiya worshipper and he doesn't have an arrogant, demeaning bone in his body off-field.
          
          Everything, everything about Harshit is personal. I would bubble-wrap him and protect him if I could, but he doesn't need it. He can make his own statements, my star kid, with his pace variations of 140 to 110 to 140 and his breakthroughs...and his warrior-like batting.
          
          And I am just so happy, just so proud...almost an Indian mother seeing her son getting what he deserves. Love you to the stars and back, Harshu ❤️

@sassy_reads I really (don't) appreciate the hundreds of msgs and voice msgs you've chosen to be blind and deaf to where I've ALWAYS used those familial, platonic, kuchupuchu words and have chosen instead to remember only one weirdass dream I regret ever having related to you which also you chose to extrapolate to 100x its actual magnitude :))))

Hey
          Really random
          But I need to ask you something 
          How did you recover from "The kite runner" 
          Coz I finished reading it in 2 days
          But I have my exams going on
          But I can't focus at all :(
          All I can think about is hassan and amir
          :((

Yeah... I have learnt my lesson :)

@Lovextales melancholic love story is the farthest thing about Khaled Hosseini's writings. Do read A thousand splendid suns, but later (only when there are no exams)
Balas

Lovextales

Yeah my friend recommended it to me some time ago, and I had no idea about what kind of book it was, i thought it would be a normal melancholic love story or something. But damn. That book has traumatised me. 
            Thanks for the tip though

Dre Russ in purple with his golden arm, dismissing the set batsman is a movie I would choose to watch every time. Be it in ADKR's virtual semi or for KKR or TKR (not LAKR cause they never win anything)
          
          Dre Russ in purple is the only reality, and thank you, thank you, Russ, for choosing never to wear another colour. They really would have looked weird and ugly on you.
          
          PS: Seeing Salty wearing ADKR's jersey though :)))

@RuchaMD I understand, we'll feel the same if Bravo goes back to CSK. We absolutely cannot stand the guy while almost all CSK fans love him. 
          And Rahul Tripathi is such an emotion for us (I've liked him since RPS and RR days too but mostly he was an integral part of the heart of KKR in the lockdown years)
