7 days a week- I need a change...

Why should Monday come before Tuseday or Wednesday....

And Friday come after Thursday,

And Saturday and Sunday be at the end of the week and not in between?

My Game!!! - Just...

April 1st, after along time I came on basketball court.

It was a wonderful feeling to come back on to the court and play.

After about 5 months I have returned on to the court and just feels good to get back my life of playing basketball and attending school.

I have been playing basketball for the past 8 yrs or so.

The school that I had gone to did not have a school team. Soon in my 9th I had shifted to a new school. And that school had a team. And immediately I joined it and I was in the Main 5. It was fun and I got serious with the game. When I was on this team I was exposed to matches conducted in ISCE/ISC Sports Meet and at this meet they select player to be able to go to the National Meet. As I got to know about I got encouraged by it and wanted to go to the Nationals that were coming up. So in order to achieve it I started to practice. Our 1st match was against Nasr (the school I go to now),and this was the match which I played really well. I was in full form and totally into the game. It was the match which I had played the best ever till then. At the end of the Sports Meet I got to know that I was selected as a Standby for the Nationals. Many of my schoolmates expected me to get selected for it. And after that, my aim has been to go to the Nationals, and be a good player.

After I finished my 10^th grade exams, I continued to go for practice. For a year, I had gone to the USA on an exchange program sponsored by Rotary. And that year I could not play and I lost my practice. I returned to India on the July 3rd, joined a new school -Nasr on the July 7th, and started out again with a new team. As soon as I had joined the team, on the 12th July we had a tournament coming up. That tournament for a start was good.

Soon I got adjusted with the team. We practice everyday and missed a lot of classes :)

We practiced hard and developed the team well. Sports Meet was coming up in September and we were all set to play the matches and win..

Finally it came up and we showed our team game on the court.

We went to the Finals and played with HPS team. This game was real fun and we applied the man to man defense technique. The game was a neck to neck, but we had lost. We were fine with it and there was not much of despair. The Closing ceremony was taking place and my mind was just thinking about the goal I had kept after the 10^th grade Sports Meet- to go to the Nationals.

The medals were presented. The players eligible to go to the Nationals were announced. From our team we had three players selected they were- Avijeet Shastry, Ananya Pendekanti and I.

Dolphin Hunting is on in Japan

Taiji,Japan,1000's of dolphins

Brutally killed-for their meat Japan Dolphin Day-

To show Japan-world won't

Tolerte it cruelty

Fisher man use motorized boats,

Locate a pod of bottle nose dolphins

Heard the animals towards shore,

By making noise of the boat engine,

Banging pipes underwater-Terrorizing dolphins

Trap them ina bay

Slaughter the dolphins by getting into water

Reaching over the side of boat and

Stabbing the animal to death.

Drag dolphin out of water-alive

And transport to-Slaughter House

And let them bleed out in agony.

I love Dolphins!!!

And people pls don't hurt them...
