Outstanding player

My school was a place of many sports and games but limited to a level. One day I choose to play vollyball after my school and I had a cycle so I can go home anytime I wanted to. School ground is few meters away from my main school building. When I went there, there is a big crowd waiting to play vollyball... So many students waiting to play vollyball ? I do not know to play vollyball and not sure of the rules. I just like that decided to play it because ... okay fine .. playing ...

My school ends at 4:15 and usually be at home in 30 mins after a chit chat outside my school with few known friends of mine. That day I was in the ground instead waiting to play vollyball. Another classmate of mine was there as well. He regularly comes to play, I mean watch the game. He never played any real game till now. He laughed at me telling 'Do you think, you are going to play today? Look, we are before you waiting for months already'.

Seriously ?? Okay. I waited for long time and after sunset everybody started to leave. I never played that day. I went home at 6:30 PM. My mom started to scold me for coming late. Okay. I will never come late. That was my last day of the vollyball and I became 'outstanding' player for one day.

How disciplined are you?

I have always observed that each of my day is different. Not because of the different types of task I have but it is related to my attitude. Attitude determines how our day is going to be every time. I am a morning person or more to say, I perform better if I wake up early and sharpen my mind with right thoughts. If I am late to bed the previous night and wake up late, I do not get the time to sit and think on various things I need to do and time to read a book or listen to a talk. I am working from my home for last 2 years now. In fact, I did that few years back too. Having an home office is a blessing and a curse. It is a curse if you do not understand and turn the weakness to your advantage. I work a lot on computers. This means I am have physical activities and less interaction with people face to face. I can sit in bed and work and in my pajamas. No one knows who I am and how I look like. My parents and  friends I know have gone to office to work. I had worked in office s...

Magic Thatha

My old school friend remind me about magic thatha and I started to rewind back my school days. My thatha (gandpa) used to drop me at school everyday his his Made in England cycle. I used to sit in a specially made seat next to handlebar. My school is 10 mins away from my home in cycle. As I do not write notes properly, he used to come to school and write notes from my classmates notebook for me and I will be playing at that time. Well, he started to become student again because of me. He takes down all the notes so that I can read them and pass the exams. He was so optimistic I suppose. My classmate from whom grandpa used to copy the notes, told my class teacher about this in some class and everyone laughed at me. I did not bother much even after that. He is very popular in school and known as magic thatha. Made in England cycle stops daily in nearby tender coconut shop daily and he says the cycle will not move without buying coconut for me. Funny. I am his pet and never s...
