Rain spoiled all our Christmas plan
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Today is a special day, as we all meet on this day for our mega annual cricket event, at our ground, to play a match and enjoy some good food. A lot of arrangements are done and this year was special, because we built up a new ground from scratch. Our previous ground was gone in the road expansion, so we demanded help from the Contractors doing the road work for the National highway authorities, local administration, sought help from local politicians, leaders, villagers to help us build this new ground. Even though the initiative started months ago, during election, our guys spiltted in favor of different candidates, bringing uncertainties. However, again two months back, we started a campaign to unite everyone for the good, the sport itself, keeping personal interests away. Everyone was summoned and asked not to discuss anything else, other than how we can bring the ground to a reality. Elections come and go, leaders come and go, but the ground, the spirit, the sports remain forever. So work was again started, with contributions from each of us and then united we stood up again, to bring every possible help to complete the work before December 25th. The road Contractor provided all the help along with all their machinery, trucks, raw materials and also filled the area at no cost to us, which would have easily costed at least three to four hundred thousand rupees(₹) to us. To give you an idea of the magnitude of work, here are some photographs, that showcased the dedication of everyone working to make our dream true.
These are some select few images out of thousands of photos shared in our whatsapp group, to motivate everyone and you can see many of us joined and worked physically as well, whenever possible - yes, that is our generation - no guilt doing our own work. A perfect example of great team work, working day and night, to make the December 25th event success.
The final preparation started couple of weeks back, with T-shirt design, food planning and fees (along with T-shirt size) were collected from everyone, for that. You might have seen my earlier posts on this great event, everyone was so excited for this day, unfortunately a low pressure situation popped up and its raining continuously since yesterday, and the event stands cancelled now.
I purposely plan to stay at my native place during this period, to attend this event, and make my parents happy at the same time. For me its like celebrating the Christmas as well as new year beforehand with them, bringing a lot of sweets, good food and whatever they wish. Mom wanted to eat a specific fish today and I was happy to spend couple of hours in the rain, finding joy for her. We need to be happy with what we have, not everything happens as planned. The event is now planned for Sunday, only if the weather gets better by tomorrow, but we are going to enjoy the rain with a small dinner party with friends tonight.
So wherever you are, enjoy your day, to the fullest. Spend some nice time with your family, relatives and friends. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Rain is sometimes beneficial and sometimes it causes hampers in our works or plans. But hope you enjoyed your day. It seems like a busy day for you as I can see some constitution work is going on.
Everything was ready, rain spoiled it, but we are going to have a small party tonight.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Nice to see the initiative taken for a a cricket playground and the unity among you peoples. Hope you get a chance to succeed the rain by Sunday. And good to know despite rain, you are continuing with a party. Anyway, Merry Christmas 🎅.
Merry Christmas, optimistic about Sunday.
I hope you eventually have a great time with the event on Sunday
Team work is important and I’m happy you achieved it
Thank you, hopefully....
This year, adversity has not been far from you. First, the pitch where you were going to play cricket was destroyed. Then, the rain. Everyone made a great effort to build the pitch.
I hope everything goes well on Sunday. Merry Christmas.
Yes, it has been tremendous amount of work to stand the ground from scratch, hopefully we will be able to inaugurate on Sunday, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas my friend, we are having lots of fun over here. So sorry about the rain, it be frustrating.
Merry Christmas to you, enjoy the day to the fullest.
Anyway, nothing friend, Merry Christmas to you and all your family, it's a shame that after joining forces in search of achieving the Cricket Field, the event was suspended but we hope it can be done later for the enjoyment of your friends and your own. . We must put aside personal ambitions as they say and look for the good for everyone, they made a great effort as a group.
United we stand...for the sport.
Merry Christmas SIr. May this coming be merrier than ever for you and your family.
This pitch making and its construction is looking quite professional. I can see the excavator, and transit miller, at work. That concrete you got is of very high quality because they were mixed in a controlled environment(RMC-Ready Mix Concrete), and the grade of the concrete is well maintained as per the IS codes. Today the cost of concrete is itself is 10,000 inr at least per cubic meter. One transit miller capacity is 6 cum. So the concrete cost itself is 60,000. The overall cost is certainly above one lakh including all other base preparations. If you got all these free of cost, it is really a good negotiation and liaisoning from your end. Good job.
I wanna see you and your comrades playing in that field. Do share the shots of the inauguration of this ground.
Thank you.
Jai Jagannath
🙏🙏🙏
Yes, getting all those excavator, transit miller, roller and other equipment from the contractor helped us to get ready fast. Waiting for Sunday, will share, if it happens.
Sir, ଏଇ field ଟା exactly କୋଉଠି ଅଛି BBSR ରେ ?
ଦୌଡିବା ପାଇଁ ବି ମସ୍ତ ହେଇଚି
At my native place Khordha, not BBSR.
Oky
It’s sad that rain spoiled the plan but I’m sure and hope that the rain wouldn’t fall on Sunday
If it doesn’t, you guys will be able to have so much fun
We need blessings like this.
Merry Christmas and good luck with the match.. try hitting a century 😜 cheers

You are lucky to have got a big and flat ground, apt for a high class cricket stadium. Red/yellow soil is good for sports related use.
Wish you Merry Christmass.
Sports is one thing, that we can't leave behind, for our entire life. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
We are expecting a rain , but it was a cloudy day....Merry Christmas....
Ya, rain at this time was never expected, Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, this post of cricket ground reminded me of my childhood playing cricket with just a bat and ball nothing more with my friends, just needed a ground to play 😁.
We continue to do that, that happiness is different.
Hope it stays that way.
This is a new ground, initially there were many grassy plants, which have been cleared. I am surprised to see that your leaders have gifted such a beautiful ground. Cricket is a popular game for boys in India, a good player is born from these grounds. The leaders' call for building a ground is commendable because it is very important for the bright future and fitness of children. If children and youth are healthy, the nation can move forward. Sports not only improve physical health but also good for mental health.
For us, its a must, like a habit.
Merry Christmas to you friend 🌲
I can see the new ground is going on well.
Looking forward to seeing the event pictures when the rain allows!
Great to see you get a new ground after all.
Yes, finally, we have a ground, and now we can plan more.
Merry Christmas! At least, you could spend it still with loved ones and closed friends. The day event is still worthwhile. Keep yourself warm in this rainy season and be safe.
Same to you. You are not making simple ground, it is big. I want to you hit a century on this ground. Make vlogs of cricket matches on this ground. Wish you a happy New year 2025.
So, have a nice cricket game ! and Merry Christmas !
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Also for you, friend and for your entire family, Merry Christmas. Well, your plans to build the Cricket field turned out to be excellent, especially when you need to work together, the objectives can be achieved. Greetings and although the rain did not let you play for the moment, surely before the end of the year you will be able to do it
