As the days pass by....

I know its been a really long time. I wasn't getting the motivation to sit on my laptop and write. Things here are amazing. I am really liking the college. I made awesome friends. There have been a few 'firsts'. Like the the first time I ever slept in a class(sitting in the first row), or the time I slept like a baby in a guest lecture, or the time I and not someone else did my assignment. I am getting to interact with people from all over India. The family feeling is finally rising. And yeah, speaking of families, I also found a few Gunners fans here!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seen a few films, seen Bachna e Haseeno in a dump of a theatre, got used to sitting in backbreaking autos. All this is pretty much getting into my system. We go for long walks in the campus and 'see' a lot of 'things'.
I sometimes feel really protected, but sometimes feel really cut-off from the real world. On one of those really 'cut of from the world' days, I logged onto www.cricinfo.com. Was browsing through the usual things when something caught my eye..
BRETT LEE TO MISS BANGLADESH SERIES DUE TO 'FAMILY' PROBLEMS
My hands unconsiously cliccked on it and I came to know of the bad news. I did not expect it. It was really so sudden. I mean, wow ,this is incredible. Then when I actually thought about it the split seemed inevitable. Liz did not seem like a person who would be comfortable with sitting at home and making babies! Aww..come on, which modern young liberated woman would? I am not talking about WAGS. Libby tried her best to be a dutiful W.A.G., and she did not fail. Maybe she was just sick and tired of being the medieval wife. All the reports I have read till now have all been in Brett's favor abt him being the family man, the doting dad, and the rest.
NO one no one cared to write anything form Liz's point of view. She deserves a chance. her side of the story needs to be told. The reasons why she did what she did need to be appreciated. It was her life and she I am sure made a decision after thinking about it. I am sure no amount of money and no amount of anything can replace the husbandly feeling. This can be a lesson to all the other W.A.G.s to come out of their frustrated, barbie doll showcase life. What Liz did can be an example to the other wifes, who are sick of sitting at home or running around the world. Libby set an example, it needs to be follwed. Yeah Liz you rock!!!!!!!!!
Brett still is my fav player, I am sad for him, but this post just poured out of my heart. I hope this awakens all the wifes, girlfrends, who feel ignored and neglected to take the next step. Only in extraordinary, rarest of the rare cases.
