EBS Premier League

                          The official EBS Premier League got underway today. After the warm-up match on Saturday, fingers had actually been kept crossed, more so because of Eden Garden-like experience (you remember the World Cup fiasco of 1996?) with the same opponent last time. In the end, however, most of us came out looking pretty cool, if not happy! There could still be a few who might have faced some issues with the paper but then they may not find anyone else but themselves to blame. In any case, no single event or person or act can please one and all. Anyways, all in all a nice beginning to the round!

                              Today, while climbing the stairs leading to the examination hall in the morning, I was just thinking about different states of minds that people around me were in (myself included) at that point in time. Reminded of famous HSBC Bank's series of advertisements. So, same exam might look differently to many of us...

               Whatever may be the vision as we walk down to the pitch, it is important to take a deep breath and settle down even before the first delivery is bowled at us...................... All the Best guys!
