Sports and Me

I think it started very early. In my dictionary Sports always mean fun and smiles. I had people with me to play cricket and badminton even at 1^st std. Chess, carom, video games, cricket, football, volleyball and even I tried basket ball and every other game that was there available at school.

I think sport is the best thing I learnt from school. I walk to my school till 5^th std when at Chennai.(I mean my home is so close to the school so that we can play till late evening) I think that was the best period of my sports life. Every body loves to play. There will be schedule for competitions all over the year. I think that is the best part of Chennai schools. (at least the one I studied)

Then got shifted to Coimbatore and I could only find bookworms in the new school though there is good ground. The truth is there are no sports activities. Matches come once in a year and after that no body goes to ground except people like me who loves to ‘relax’ after several hours being in class.

Like most of the Indians I am also impressed of cricket. Well for playing rather than watching. We played in streets and even in smallest possible places. I was one of the youngest to be in the school team that usually gets lost in either first or second match. I remember playing 50 overs match and we were all out in 15^th over.

My childhood heros for me were the best players and the sports staffs in school.

College it was different. I was not even selected in top 20 list for cricket. (Actually I was not that interested as I thought college is the best and last chance that I have, to show to the world that I have some brain.

So did not turn to sports till I got placed) :((

And in final year, back to the ground, quenched all my thirst for games. 3 hrs in the morning then go to sleep and 3 hrs in the evening and have a nice dinner with friends and sleep. This was my routine after I got placed. (And in 7th sem I think I got my least marks )

Still after coming to Gurgaon we sometimes find time to play. If late night it will be football and in holidays we played cricket especially during winter. The best part here is the company organises events and hence it would have waving period of lull and peak.

And one more, there is an automatic alarm set in my brain - when ever my waist exceeds 34 inches, I start to work out heavily in gym. I think it first happened in college when I became a 82 kg idiot at the end of third year and brought it down to 72 kgs (sporty) at the end of final year.

I am sure I will take care of my waist as it is the confidence meter for me I guess.

I love sports and be sportive. Ha ha
