Back in March, I heard this news but I was much occupied in my daily life to take a lapse to share it. I thought I needed to have a fresh mind before I sprout anything regarding the real news. So why did it take me time to come back at it is clear, but you know, I was surprised to hear that, in few of the schools in Bangladesh, students are able to PLAY GOLF IN SCHOOLS.
This was a surprise yet shocking news to me. How come it is not in the headlights? Maybe it is, yet not vocally prominent. We all are aware of the female cricket team in Bangladesh, but how many of us are willingly accepting and spreading the news?
Back to the topic, golf is being practiced by both males and females in a few schools in Bangladesh. It was striking news for me because I myself was able to only play football back in the old days. It expanded to cricket quite soon but women weren't allowed then. Now both women and men are able to take part in sports and it is impressive to hear that Bangladesh is not limiting the scope of youths anymore and they are actively promoting all sports, even if it is in small proportions.
Even though we are aware that females will be criticized when they are playing yet they are not stopped and that is what impressed me the most. Additionally, golf is being practiced on a good scale that students are able to compete in the competitions and are getting prepared simultaneously. The consequence of letting school students get involved in golf is basically opening a door for improvement, as from school to college to university, takes quite a huge time. This also diverts students' attention positively while keeping them away from negative habits.
Bangladesh is actually rising and to be able to witness such actions, really got me into tears. Although I didn't see this, my brother who is involved with sports at his university has witnessed it. Finally, I can now dream of making my children involved in sports without rethinking the consequences. Life is too short to be hovering over bits that make things unnecessarily complicated.
I hope this piece of information is helpful and makes us proud as Bangladeshis. To motivate or demotivate is always our choice. I thought to share to express my happiness in hearing about the success of sports and how drastically it is emerging in our society. This surely unites us all sports enthusiasts towards a blooming future.
