A visit to heaven..!

If beauty can be expressed in words, If God can be expressed in religion, if love can be expressed in moments spent, if gratitude can be expressed in eyes , if memories can be expressed by nostalgia, …

There she was, a sheer beauty right in front of me in its full glow, getting readying for her next big endeavor, looking like a newly married bride.

My trip to Chandigarh was no less than a one day military training camp. No sleep for over 48 hours, traveling like hell and walking almost unstoppable and yet at the same time enjoying every bit of it.

Never before I thought I would witness her and just like an artist’s expression, she was right there in my heart glooming with beauty with each passing day.

As GOD would help a true lover meet his destiny, we got a help from one of our friend for reaching to her doorsteps.
Long journey, lack of sleep and excessive walking took its toll on me and I went in to a slumber and as they say, the silence before the storm…

Someone shook me and I got up to see the one of the most beautiful creations of GOD, off course made more graceful by humans.

Her outer looks depicted a picture perfect. A picture, which was beyond my imagination. Had I been a poet or writer, it would have presented a perfect plot for bestseller.

But as outer beauty doesn’t always depict the inner character, her premises from outside looked no less than a princess castle and there she was in her full glory and beauty emanating rays of charm and pride, being served with utmost care….

If you are still expecting a woman, I m sorry to disappoint you….
Ground depicted a green carpet, with seats so modern and scoreboard looked like a vacant canvas ready to be filled with colors of action between India and England test match to be played in the next few days..., for a moment you would pinch yourself to believe that you are in Mohali and not in Lords!

Witnessing perhaps the best cricket ground in India was no less than a privilege and that too when it was getting ready for a big match…the images of covered pitch, lush green outfield, empty scoreboard, flags of India and Sri Lanka right above the pavilion and hoardings of “Ambuja cement” are still fresh in my memory and would never die until new one takes over which I m sure would be when I would get an opportunity to watch an ODI at this blissful place…

Last but not the least, I would like to say that for any cricket lover in India, if there is heaven on this earth, then it is Mohali cricket ground,
If u think I wrote too much or over reacted, then go and give your eyes a treat to watch, give your senses a feel which would be beyond sensation…visit mohali cricket ground and trust me you would believe that you have visited heaven….
