Gone are those days...

Amdist of The stunning victory, The maddening reception or The raining rewards of Indian cricket team, people were talking about Small Town Cricket.

My wonderful school days spread in my mind screen. Gone are those days... Fearful cork ball cricket at playgrounds, spearing rubber cork cricket at paddy fields and streets, soft rubber ball cricket on the roof top. After sunlight hours, inside house, with ball made of paper and sometimes long notebooks as our bat. Srikkanth and Shastri as our heros in dotted black and white TV screens. Gone are those days... Will they return again anyway? Gone are those days...

My eyes get wet...Gone are those days...
