BEING A SPORT!!!

The kind of respect you get being an athlete is out of the world experience.. trust me I have never felt this contented as for the past couple of days (wearing those jerseys and roaming around, hundreds of eyes brewing around you and gossips lingering around us as we pass!!)... and calling ourselves proudly.. We are SPORTSPERSON (at last!!)

I am in my basket ball team as well as in throw ball team for my college.. which recently participated in state level tournament!!Yeah! We lost.. but still we played well (given the lack of practice.. we put up a great show!!)...Every one in the team put in best of their efforts(and we can say that again)!! As far as game is concerned The Better Team WON!!

Talking about team.. those petty moments when you pat each other when you score a point.. or give that ugly stare when your mate has lost one..are a boggy-wog!!!!There are rules.. unwritten rules.. which player starts understanding once they get starting..which does not require words.. just a glance.. just a nod.. and you get through their mind!!and the aftermath of the match is all the more effective than the match( as if our faults were not known during the play.. we have long sessions of omg!!!What Actually Went Wrong!!!).. We speak a lot.. during these constructive sessions.. celebrating the tiny happiness which we shared during the game...huge regret( on probably we should have changed our strategy.. probably it was not our day!! .. blah-blah).. and simultaneously draining in the hot coffee( only god knows how much caffeine went into our system!!) Meanwhile I learnt an important lesson to take back home.. its not about winning. its not losing.. its about playing!! (playing for passion is altogether different)...its about being in the team.. its about cheering ourselves when we are low.. its about co-ordination.. its about the respect which we have for our mates.. its about playing it clean...well its about BEING A SPORT!
