There is a saying that age is just a number, it all depends on our mindset and physical well being. With age, it's very easy to loose the mindset, if we do not maintain our physical state. Those who maintain often consider that as the biggest blessing and staying healthy after fifty is the most challenging task, unless you follow a strict discipline.
For me it's a little extra challenging as I switch over places - when I am with the kids at our apartment in the city, I have no place to play football, so I do normal exercise for more than one hour, running around the society, stretching, cycling and kicking the football for some time just to retain that power. Some people in our society even cautioned me to not to run at this age saying it may hurt my knees or back. They think they are doing a good job, but at times it demotivated me, so I consulted a very good Orthopedics doctor who after examining, said it's fine. Prevention is always better than cure, so following his guidance at regular intervals ensures my mental strength - at this age fear is our biggest enemy. In my entire life, he is the only doctor whom I respect like God, because of his high ethical commitment for patient well-being at the age of seventy five. May be I should show him and write a post on him at some point - he is quite an inspiration.
And now meet our team and the ambience - we have players from age 12 to 65 playing for one hour everyday with Monday off.
Surrounded by greenness all around, it's a blissful morning every day to play here, this time the cricket team were playing a match when we arrived but they promised to finish by our time - respect for elders is another big value that sports teaches us.
It was fun to watch their tennis ball match - we still like to play cricket, but unfortunately life does not permit that much time. But you have seen us celebrating an annual event to remember those good times - life was full of fun and free of stress even though we did not have money. Back then I often wondered why people get stressed - now I realize, you understand certain things only after certain age.
He is sixty five but never misses to come to the ground, inspiring us how to beat the age.
Our natural pavilion full of oxygen to watch the sports - that kid broke his hand while playing and taking rest but can't resist coming to the field and watch us play.
By seeing the ambience you can feel how inspiring it is to rush to the field every morning - it's like an adrenaline rush.
And nature gives us bonus at times - we get some natural fresh mushrooms during these rainy days.
Only for those, who know how to identify - never eat a mushroom that you are not sure about.
And we also get a free treatment for nerve related issue - show your palm to these little calf (if possible with some food), their tongue does wonders to cure any nerve related issue, do you know that ? Those are things of past for many.....
And for the first time I took the camera to the field and captured some niche shots, that will be a memoir for life time.
