Run, baby run

Last weekend was the Annual Sports Meet during which two days were spent in a whirlwind of every sports event imaginable. Whats interesting about this meet is that one gets to observe the students outside of their classroom and witness their incredible stamina and sportsmanship. I think the Best Athlete also enjoys other perks such as attention from the opposite gender and all.

She’s Chozum and can she run!

The most fun was the 800 m race where everyone, including some children also participated; although finishing the race wasnt a priority for most people and rightfully so. Before you ask, let me clarify here that I was not a part of ‘everyone’ and that finishing three circles of the huge cricket ground isnt my kinda thing. My lunch-mate claims he ran one & half rounds. Yeah, like I believe it.

I had the opportunity to observe a Kabaddi match up-close as I threw caution to the dust flying everywhere, not caring if the aggressive bunch of the kabaddi team actually collapsed on me where I stood cheering. Some of the participants were so aggressive that it was almost scary watching their contorted faces, determined to either bash their opponents, if thats what it takes to win. The losing team members actually starting slapping their rivals out of anger instead of just tagging them by the fag end of the match. By the end of it all, I drew to this conclusion that I’m undoubtedly going to be nicer to certain students henceforth.
