As i was thinking about the topic of this blog entry above mentioned title came into my mind. If i am not wrong "Crossing the line " was sports program aired on DD national ( 5-6 years back ) ( one movie also with same name ) . This blog entry is all about crossing the line , knowing where the line is , once crossed what processes are to be followed to make things straighten up. Bottom-line remains , one learns from mistakes .
I was going through the interview of steve bucknor ( well known cricket umpire ). The question being answered was
" you made many mistakes while umpiring , do you regret making those mistakes ? ".
The answer : " no i don't regret. if i regret making mistakes , i regret being human being ".
How many times we did hear the words " don't cross the line or you will have to face the consequences " . As a kid i always saw aussies saying some "words" ( i was told they operate from within the line ) . When indians started doing similar things , it was called , they crossed the line ( fully debatable topic this is ). so funda is very clear , we should try not to cross the limit ( reminder : all reactions require threshold energy ). Biggest problem is knowing the where the line is . If we know the problem then we can solve the problem. Another thing which generates interest is "everything is relative". This makes knowing the "line" tedious job.This threshold can be in many forms i.e pampering others , doing bad things , bad habits etc etc.
OOps!....... the line crossed , what now?
The scheme of things here is to give ample time to understand the damage . Many times we just don't have the "time" to understand the situation i.e forced to react in others way. If we have time , surely the problem should be handled with cool mind. Most of the time we say "this has never happened to me"......but many things happen in life for the first time and anyone will agree , "life gives no retake".
we should be ready to accept the mistake and learn from that mistake. The point which should be kept in min is "don't generalize the problem/ solution blindly ". Pre-conceived notions are worst enemies.
Before closing i would like to say hope for the best be prepared for the worst. Saying ,i was not prepared for this wont help for long.
p.s : random thoughts ruling me these days. Nothing official about it :P

Learning 4m mistakes is special quality contained in all species .
To cross a line, we must also draw one. I know many people, not only in cricket but also in real life and reel life, who do not know the definition of this "line".
Good to read you as always!
