Back to the good ol' days with JFL!!!

" Kinda reminds me of the good ol' days.....Wat gud ol' days..." and hence goes one of my favourite dialogues from Ice -Age 2......

But really...last 2-3 days have been fun...like they were in college....or better still...school...(trust me...my school was much more fun than my college ever cud've been)
Ive really been in love with football since i have started playing back in .... God knows when...

Hence i thought...what the heck...why not find a group of guys from office who live nearby and wanna have sum fun and play football......I did find a few ones who if not more.... were almost as enthusiastic as i was about playing football (and not cricket...Thank God)

And for ONCE....just for Once in my life...things actually went according to plan..... (I had almost firmly started believing otherwise...that my plans were made with the sole destiny of not being fulfilled)

People jumped in...we played with a few people the first day.... and there was enuf publicity that more people hopped onto this so called JFL ( Jacobs...where i work , Football League)..... atleast thats what i like to call it....

But it was FUN... absolute fun that made me forget that i was out of college...or no longer in a playing situation.......
and i played again...today...... it was even more fun.... scored a hat trick....

Ive played before....so what if my game was a little unpolished..... need practice man.... and so have 2-3 other guys too...... But most of them were not used to playin football on a field actually....And it seemed they cud use a few basic tips as well.....

But i realised 2 things then.......

1. - I was'nt born Beckham..... Im not even anywhere near him......Im not even an moderately gud player
2. - We were'nt playin professionally..... my basic idea was to have fun.....

and thats what these guys...and me 2 ... were havin.... so what the heck.... we went on and on with 'last 5 mintues' calls, 4-5 times, till the light was no longer bright enuf to see either the ball or the goal posts.....or any of us even.....

But there was a flip side...... and im a little bit ashamed of it too.....

I cud feel each and every muscle in my leg....and torso..... like never before.....
Boy...had I become rusty or what...... it hurt like hell for 2 days.....
And I was exhausted after 2-3 sprints with the ball...... immediately falling back to the posts..... and playin a slower game......
Have I become Old and Unfit? at the age of 24??????

Nevertheless.... but it hurts much lesser today... and my stamina felt better..... and as always...it all just improves with practice......

So im looking forward to my next game from the JFL..... All in all.. a brilliant idea.... under execution.... Never felt better..........!!!
