A busy but refreshing trip to India is over and I'm back to US. I have quickly got a reminder that things cannot be taken for granted. Howsoever good you are, in howsoever good nick you might be in, you have to take a fresh guard, you have to start from scratch in a new innings. You have to remember that when you face a new delivery, there are no past reputations. You cannot relax and rely on your past laurels. It was my mistake, I just did not deserve it this time. There just wasn't enough perseverance and more importantly desperation. I just kept hoping for some miracle. But I have been quickly grounded, and its disappointing and hurting.
But the important thing is to learn from your defeats. This is a hint to me to work on my game and my game plan. Never relax and chalk out plans to conquer future games.
And also, as I said earlier ..... if there is no desperation to win, there can hardly be enough perseverance. I think that's an important reason for my current form slump. There's just not enough motivation in there. I need to find some pretty quickly to avoid more embarrassments. Need to be on the right track otherwise it doesn't take long for the wheels to come off and the train to derail!
