NATIONAL SPORTS DAY!

It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up with hope and faith in our heart and dream in the head .

The 5' S of sports:

1) Stamina
2) Speed
3) Strength
4) Skill
5) Spirit

Sports are a crucial part of our growth and development. They help in improving the mental health and physical fitness of the body. Through participation in sports, we gain broad range of skills that benefit us. For example, an ability to narrow our focus and concentrate is important for the gymnast performing an aerial beam, the archer shooting at the target and the rugby league player attempting a goal conversion. Sports also teaches us teamwork. If we are introvert then it encourages us to collaborate and work as a team member together. Similarly, the ability to be assertive, is useful when contesting the ball in basketball and soccer. To have poise and confidence as the netballer shooting a penalty shot under time pressure or taking a block in swimming. We can do many at-home exercises like on the spot jogging or any other indoor exercises which increase the heart rate and oxygen intake in the body. We could also add strengthening twice a week be it cardiorespiratory exercises or muscle strengthening. Sports and games together helps to reduce the level of anxiety and depression, builds mind concentration, improves body fitness and posture and helps to get a better sleep. By playing sports we are less likely to suffer from depression and experience greater life satisfaction. 

  • Sports teaches us about life.
  • It teaches us character.
  • It teaches us to play by rules.
  • It teaches us to know what it feels to win and lose

ON THIS SPECIAL DAY I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO PLAY SPORTS EVERYDAY FOR YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS .

Chit chat with my best friend

-
On a lone winter morning, I was walking in the park and I saw a beautiful dew drop on a leaf. It was shining like a pearl; I went towards it to touch it. Suddenly I heard a voice  “Hi!” I got a bit scared and asked - who is it? I got a reply  “Hi, I am water, your best friend”. I said,  “Water, my best friend...…  but my best friend is somebody else. Who are you? I don't know you; how can you be my best friend?”.  He said,  “I am not only your best friend. Infact, I am everyone's best friend, you want to know how”.   I said, “sure” Then the drop said “Do you know humans can survive without food even for a week but cannot survive without me for more than 3 days . I am a one-of-a-kind wellspring of life, vital to the survival of life on Earth." "Ohh! that is all fine, but I am still not sure about your theory of best friend” I said. Then, the water drop remarked, “let me take you through your daily...

Laugh and the world will laugh with you, snore and you sleep alone :-)

It was a warm and comfortable night, I was like a snug as a bug in a rug in my cozy bed when I unknowingly dozed off and I was in a fairyland with fairies and dwarfs dancing around me and singing melodious songs. I was sitting under the shade of a tree when a fairy came very close to my ear and said (snore... … snore.....) , that’s where my pleasant dream broke. That was my father, who was fast asleep snoring like an untamed lion who was ready to attack me any time. I am sure you can relate to the sonorous, grumbling and grating sound of Snoring. You must have at least one person in your family who is a snorer .  A Research reports that one out of every four adults snore regularly and nearly half of us snore occasionally. Do you think snoring is harmless? Well, let me tell you, it is something that can have serious health issues like - risk of stroke, Heart diseases, memory difficulty, aggravating diabetes, headache etc. Besides, it is not good for your family members as it keep...

My Letters - 2021: For India, a year of mixed fortunes

This is with reference to Shashi Shekhar's 2021: For India, a year of mixed fortunes (straightforward, December 27). I fully agree with the author. This year has been a real rollercoaster with frequent highs as well as lows. The rise in Covid deaths, emergence of a new variant, increased economic inequality, standoff between India and China, return of the Taliban in Afghanistan, firing of the Nagas and the sad demise of the First chief of defense staff and 12 others have left us stunned and horrified. Every Indian is hoping to never witness such a year again. However, as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining, the unfortunate happenings have  brought with it lots of glory for India. The exemplary performance of the sportspersons at the Tokyo Olympics, victory of Kamala Harris as the first women vice president of the US and the significant mark of India in the world-class companies like Google, Twitter, Microsoft, have stood as an in...
