I went to play football today with my old classmates from school. It was fun, but I learnt that I’m hopelessly out of shape. Less than 30 minutes of running and I was completely out of breath, not to mention I was starting to get a headache. I’m middle-aged at 19! I’d also like to complain about buses and the way they don’t like to show up on a Besant Nagar bound route for more than half an hour, no good sirs, that’s simply no good.
In any case, Karthik dropped me home. I don’t know if I could’ve made it back by bus, I was so tired. Anyway, my phone camera is useless for anything but daylight photographs. The moon was so low today, it was like it had come closer to Earth or something and it was reflected in the water so brightly it seemed like there were floodlights on the water. Amazing sight. Simply amazing.
In other news, it’s John Thanky’s birthday today. I met him on the way there. Wish him :)
Ah so that’s what you were doing in the area. You wore pants to the game, didn’t you?
Do you ppl still play football on the beach???
i thought u got tired with that game
Do you play football regularly in the beach.I have seen Marc playing in the beach many times.
:) Yeah, I don’t have any shorts.
Vijay, Gowtham: Marc’s replaced football with video games these days. However, my batch still plays football regularly on the beach. You can join us if you want. :)
George, I don’t like playing on the beach because the ball doesn’t roll correctly and it doesn’t feel like football. My special skill in intercepting high balls and I cannot do that if I don’t have flat ground to run fast on.
We’ll go buy you some shorts next week.
Well, yeah, it’s not like normal football, it’s very different, but it’s lots of fun especially when the ball bounces this way and that.
That’s the reason you sprained your ankle, fool!
It doesn’t always happen. Only occasionally, most of the time it’s all okay.
Hmmm… occasional sprainings. Nice. You should advertise.
:) Sounds like good fun, though!
It’s great fun when it happens. Unfortunately this is like the first time in months that I went and this had to happen.
That sounds like a nice title for a song.
Hehe I used to play regularly. Damm I want to get back soon.
Tell me if you guys are playing. I’d like to join in too.
Well they still play daily. I can’t till the doctor allows me to :(
George, why would you want to get your ass kicked on a daily basis? I’ll come watch you get humiliated and eat steamed groundnuts.
Why, are they damn good or something? I’m not too bad, and I think I can manage :)
Well they play a very rough game.
That’s cool, all those other college buggers who played with us when we were in school were pretty bad.
It’s less fun though.
