I Want To Be A Cricketer Dad!!


This is a story of a child born somewhere in India few years back. When he open his eyes he found himself surrounded with a lot of happy looking faces.
As he grows up and start understanding the world he realised that his dad sometime act weired while watching television. He stop drinking and eating but never stop smoking, hold his head most of the time while screaming and for a change he do clap or dance. His behavior toward him and mom is parallel to his act while watching cricket.Today is the same day when his dad came home early and put on television completely ignored him and his mom. Child went straight to his mom and asked her "Mummy, papa aisa kyun karte hain! (Mom, why dad behave like this?). "Papa se hi puch lo!(Ask your Dad), was the reply with a frustration.
Now is the turn of dad to face the question , "Papa yeh aap iss tarah kyun karte hain khabi khabi" (Dad why you behave like this some times?). Dad turned his head toward him, took him in his arms and again start watching the television. He keep looking at his dad from his arms, waiting for reply. "Beta yeah jaadu hai" (Son this is magic), "Jaadu?"(Magic?) son asked, "Haan" (Yes) was the reply from Dad.
"Yeh cricket ka jaadu hai(This is the magic of Cricket), when this begin our whole nation stop moving, no one move from his seat when our country playing, this make us cry and laugh. No doubt this is the biggest and best magic of all time, we dont care how much working hours our country loose because of this, everyone is more crazy than other".
While giving explanation that match ended, India lost and child's dad become serious. "Cricket Kaun Hai?" child asked again, suddenly some advertisement start displaying over television, father point his finger towards television and said "Wo jo uncle hai na wo jadugar hai cricket ke". Child stop talking and start watching the television where advertisement of a cola company was coming with one of our star cricket player was reapting "xxxx piyu and jito".
When all this was happening mom finished making dinner and called " chodo bhi phir haar gaye, ab khana kha lo" and they went to have their dinner.
Me too feeling hungry now, friends this story is not complete, I will be back with the next part ...........
