It's 4:45 PM, Saturday here as I write this down. From June, I have joined some course and that's keeping me pretty busy, other than my regular job, chores and other life obligations. So, it's less time to be online and whatever little time that I get has gone to one site where there is a monthly contest of being Top poster of the month. I am in the race and that's motivating.. Saturday got busy as I was invited as a panelist for one event. And since the organisation that organised it is very close to me, we have come to support our work many times, I didn't mind giving my full Saturday for them. I left the house at 9 and was back at 3:30. My husband had a whole day to himself enjoying his alone time at home and engaging himself in reading the technology related stuffs. My elder daughter is here since the last week of May and she will be leaving by mid July for her college. Younger one's college too would start from mid July. So, the girls are enjoying their time together and having fun. Elder one has also started with a part time paid internship to keep her busy in this holiday and toadd up to her learning and something to be listed on her resume. She is also taking time to teach some computer skills to her younger sister. And today, she is out with her old school friends for watching " Inside Out 2" and then some shopping and hanging around. My younger one tagged along with them. . Now, I feel that I should just rest my feet for the rest of the evening and enjoy the final match of T20 Cricket World Cup between India and South Africa. I enjoy cricket but have not been able to watch any match from start to end. I am updated with the highlights courtesy my husband who has followed the entire series and I have got a glimpse of the games while doing other things. So, that's the plan for the rest of the day. I hope that everyone is happy and healthy in their myLot corner. Have a good weekend

You will miss the girls when they both go off to college. I hope India wins the cricket for you.

@arunima25 My father always said that a cricket match wasn't over till the last ball was bowled.

@JudyEv Yes, very true. I have come across many such games which changed sides so many times in a single game. It's more exciting to watch such games than the ones that look one sided.

Yes, now the backward counting begins. Elder one leaves by next weekend. Younger one will commute from home to the college. Happy that at least, we get to see her every evening. Yay!! India won the T20 World Cup. . It was a very exciting and nail biting match till the end. The match could turn to any side at any moment. Both teams were putting their best efforts.

I have never watched a cricket match from start to finish. I have much to learn about the game.

It was impressive that many new teams were on board in this tournament, including the US team. And they did pretty well. Seems like cricket is picking up popularity and many countries are now coming up with teams that qualify for International tournaments like this. The US was host for few matches in this tournament. And stadium was full . So, Cricket has actually reached your neighborhood

Thank you Valerie. It was an honour to be on the panel. I talked from my heart as always. I was happy to get the feedback that I could connect to the audience.. They are having good times together. My younger one badly misses her sister when she is gone to her campus. Her sister is her best friend. She doesn't have many friends because of her Autism. It's good to see them making best of the time that they have together. I am watching the game. It's exciting. It can go any way any time.
