Back in the team after his spat with coach Greg Chappell, Sourav Ganguly
says "lots of things" had happened but "time heals everything."
The former captain also says that being dropped from the Indian team for about
a year had changed his outlook towards the game and he realised that life's lot
more than just cricket. 
"It's been good (relationship with Chappell). As I said,
lots of things happened but time heals everything. I have come back to the team
and am performing, helping the team to win. And that's what a coach requires
from a player and that's what a cricket team needs," he says.
The former captain said he could make a successful comeback only because he
had the ability to perform at the highest level.
"My comeback is because I still had the ability to perform
at this level. I don't think it's because I was dropped," the elegant left-hander
said in an interview in the latest issue of 'cricinfo' magazine.
Recalling the days when he was not in the Indian team,
Ganguly said "my father is obsessed with the game, obsessed with me playing
for India. Luckily my wife is not a great follower of the game, but she was
sad that I was not playing for the country." "But it probably hurt
my dad more than anybody else, and I am happy for him that I am playing well.
"I hope I can play as well as I am doing now. I know it's
not going to continue forever, there will be hiccups at some stage. And it is
how quickly I bounce back from that and start performing again," Ganguly
added.
