What has happ so far... Part 1

Well, In the first few posts I will cover some topics that have affected or still affects my life. 

To start off, I would go with basketball. That is the first thing i remember which made a major impact on me. Once, I started, Sports became a daily habit for me. I Lost lots of weight while playing it. From 115 to 92 (yeah that is in kgs!!!). But thats the end of my weight reduction, cause then it climbed up back again in no time.

It started off as just an activity where i used to accompany two good friends of mine, Shashank and Ketaki to the basketball court where they used to practise basketball. I started playing Basketball for timepass and then developed a liking for it, and this liking turned into love and then an addiction (yeah.. i am still on the topic of Basketball). Sports addiction is the worst addiction (worse than smoking - my perception). It leaves you feeling miserable, if you dont get to play at the time you are habituated to play. You may even ignore a call from the girl you love, even miss a very important class and to top it all you will still go to the ground/court at your scheduled play time even if you are injured and can barely walk. And the worst part is that you start to enjoy doing all this. ;)

So, in the liking stage of this game, i used to practise wiith a frnd of mine, Pratik, in two sessions, morning (along with my college team) and in the afternoon sun (yeah.. showed a bit of dedication :D ). Well, this turned into a habit. Even got to meet a few girls through this sport. A College team (girls) used to practise, so even got some oppurtunity to play with em. ;) But there is a bad news, i got a ligament tear in my knee and had to stop playing for months. But as i already explained, not even an injury can stop you for long, when you are addicted, so i got back. Started practising hard. Then played for my college team... kind of, only practised along with them, didnt get to play much in tournament matches. ( The team had 9 national players). We won a gold medal (enjoyed that feeling of achievement, for one thing which we were toiling since years). Well, that was the last tournament match i played. 

After that i still kept playin regularly in the club near my house, Hoopers. Some good players come there, and get to learn a lot from others. Basketball is one sport where you can keep on learning and perfecting yourself. Right when i was getting to be better at the game, the injury got back to me again, I again hurt my knee and had to stop playing. Now, I have beeen operated and am looking forward to gettin back to Basketball in a few months. I know, my frnds and familly will curse me after reading this statement.

But as i said, it is an addiction, worse than smoking and drinking!! ;)
