How would you like to live a day in the life of The Player? Well now you can. I've decided to share my
life experiences with the world. Time to time, I'll give you the chance to participate in my adventures as
well as decide what actions I should take for each particular situation.
 That's right, each week I'll present you with a particular situation
which I found myself in at some point in time, and I will offer up three
A Day In The Life Of courses of action to vote from.
The Player

At the same time, you'll get my commentary, as well as my own
decision as to which course of action should have been taken.

Then you can compare your choice to mine to see how close to a true
Player you really are. In my surrounding...the world player if pronounced...another name has to be
uttered simultaneously...and dat is Bappi bhai a legend..a Player!?! ;-)

Sounds good? Well let's get started.

episode 1 -- the intro

It doesn't pay to be a nice guy. I learned this first-hand in the summer of 1999. It was early Friday
morning, and for no apparent reason, my eyes opened wide directly towards the ceiling above me. I
turned towards my alarm clock to see that it was still five in the morning.

There I was, lying awake in my comfortable bed -- four hours earlier than what I'm used to and without a
clue as to why. It could only mean one thing: something was definitely not right. I could feel that this day
was going to be one of those where everything that could go wrong, would go wrong. Damn that MsK.

So I decided to wait in bed; if something eerie was going to take place, I was definitely not eager to
invite it over. I opted to let trouble come to me. Of course, remaining true to my reputation, it was only
a matter of minutes before my heart started to beat thanks to the ringing of my telephone. It was my
girlfriend Mary, and she requested my presence later on that night.

The worst was yet to come... Next >>

worst came to worst

It was half past seven in the evening, and my intuition was right. The worst thing that could go wrong in
my life did. My girlfriend had just finished giving me the, "I need space, and I want to have some fun. I
feel like things are not as exciting. You're just too nice. Maybe we should take some time off" speech.

At this point, I was boiling; I couldn't believe the stupid words that were coming out of this woman's
mouth. For seven years, everything I did in life revolved around her, I never disrespected or cheated on
her -- even though I had ample opportunity -- and there she was, doubting our relationship. And to
think, I was planning on proposing to her within the next couple of weeks.

Well, I wasn't going to give her the benefit of breaking my ego. I might be a nice guy, but I wasn't going
to let her walk all over me, nor beg her to stay.

So there I stood in front of her, and she was looking at me with guilt and pity, feeling bad for having hurt
me, wondering how much pain I must be going through.

take care of yourself

Suddenly, out of the blue, I surprised her with a little smile on my face and the following words came
singing out of my mouth: "Okay, if you want some time off, let's make it permanent. Enjoy your free
time because I definitely will."

At this point her face turned white as she realized what a mistake she had just made. She jumped
towards me, and while holding me tight she cried, "No, I don't want to lose you, I just wanted some time
off."

Women. Can you believe them? They never know what they want. If you're too nice, they lose interest;
as soon as you show them a little challenge, they fall at your feet.

So I looked her straight in the eyes and...

What should I do?:

Option 1: Stay with my girlfriend, and have the usual great sex.

Option 2: Walk away and take the time to gather my thoughts before making a final decision.

Option 3: Dump her and go get a tattoo.

The choice is yours, but don't take too much time to decide as the world keeps turning, and The Player
keeps living.

Last not least....it also very important to be a good human being whether ya r a player or cricketer doesnt matter
but to be a better human being is priority no1.
