The gains and the pains….

This blog of mine truly describes the year which went by. The year of lots of gains and also lots of pain. This blog of mine will describe my journey in short right from the day when I became the G.Sec sports of RK hall to the present day, the day when the final sports event i.e. weightlifting ends. This blog of mine might raise some eyebrows but I can’t do much about that.

RK hall won the Sports GC last year so it was upto me and my teams to defend it this year. But sadly we couldn’t defend it this time. Some say we lost because of insti poltu, some say we lost coz teams didn’t perform upto expectations but I say that we lost coz we didn’t had enuf cali. I feel sorry for all my juniors who won’t know this time how it feels to win a GC. I also feel sorry for the passout batch who would have definitely wanted to get hold of that trophy 1 more time. This will remain 1 of my biggest pains of the year. But some people who really deserve a lot of appraisal are chom (doing his hammer throw on 1 leg), rajesh (I really don’t recollect in how many events he participated in athletics and the breathtaking fight he posed to defend his silver medal in weightlifting by crossing all limits).

When there are pains there are also gains. My selection in the inter IIT volley team was my biggest gain this year. Winning gold there in inter IIT then in the inter halls was just icing on the cake. I don’t know how will the team be like next year as most of the star players are passing out, but one thing that I can assure that I will give it my best to raise the level of this volley team. Another team that really broke all records and won gold was the basketball team. I really feel proud to be a member of this really hard working basky team. When I entered RK hall in my 2^nd year I never knew what basketball was all about, but I was really fascinated by the game as I used to watch NBA on espnstar. I really wanted to be a basky player 1 day. Now especially after the way I performed against RP in the semis I can call myself a basky player. I would convey special thanks to Rathee, chochu and pikachu (abhijeet) for making me a good basky player. These are the people who rise above their personal glory and play as a cohesive unit. Players who help each other continuously to improve team game. These are the traits that I really missed in my volley team, where people consider themselves as GOD and never come for practice. Sometimes I really feel strange that I am the only person from my batch who plays volley. Things have been like this right from my 2^nd year.

Sometimes when you leave some things the way they are, you tend to loose out on opportunities. This is what remains as another pain of the year which I have to accept. To love somebody and waiting for the right moment is the biggest mistake a person can do. There are no right or wrong moments in life but only opportunities. Opportunity that I wasted. But now as I look back I don’t regret or feel sad having lost out on those opportunities but I feel happy coz those moments happened. Moments that will remind me of those beautiful days, moments that will make me laugh and cry at the same time and moments that will be with me forever.
