After a very long time I played football again yesterday. It felt really good to be back playing the
game I love the most. I didn't play well though. I made real bad fumble, couldn't tackle the ball
long enough, and almost all didn't hit any worthy shot that I can take back excepting a side kick pass that eventually landed in a goal.
It is in the player's physche I guess to judge how he/she has played. I remember how Jash used to complain during those BasketBall times how bad his rythm was, how he was missing the baskets one after the another while on other hand as spectator I thought he had played excellently that day and it was funny to see him crib. I was rushing all at once not organizing players around me or having none to follow up. On top of all this when my mind was furiously telling me 'Your game is pathetic' over and over again like a mantra they decided to make me a goalie. That phase was the worst. I felt like a fall guy among all the eleven players. All the people there being from different Ole's, Sub Ole's and Projects and in a simpler terms unknown to me I couldn't really command anyone else to take up the job.
Luckily enough Ganesh's IDPP mate was there to swap the place. Well we played the game on and on for an hour and a half and it felt great. Two injuries beset me as I write this one a swollen ankle, two a painful arm. 'Reebok' - a brand I thought is one of the best out there ditched me and the result of which I am suffering every step I take. They are too tight around the ankle and the uneven ground were the perfect conditions for the sprain and the oppurtunity was seized upon by innocuosly aloof Mother Earth...:)
Am I making too much of a fuss writing about a game?? ( yes, yes....) Apparently not...
