Sporty Sporty

Better late than never, i have understood the importance of physical exercise in life. Thats given rise to my n number of outdoor activities since I graduated. It all started one day during my MS when a friend invited me for a game of tennis at VT. Since I was almost done with thesis (this topic often haunts me even now), I accepted the invite. I did not even have a racket to play. Inspite of playing it for the first time, I instantly liked the game. Then when I moved to Raleigh, I made it a point to search for a tennis court and an opponent, who also happens to be my roomate.

Thus started the era of evenings full of tennis. Occasionally, other friends joined in for a game of doubles. Then some fine day, I observed that we had a table tennis aka ping-pong table in our office breakroom. So we started that too. Friday's Beer bash was devoted to 2 hrs of TT from 3.30pm to 5.30pm - the beer + the food.
I also tried my hand at foosball, which I am not good at yet!

One fine day, my good old friend invited me for Basketball. And then i tried that too, although got too tired too fast.

The regular game sessions are helping me to keep mind fresh from the otherwise mundane computer activity or senseless surfing on the Internet. Bye for now as i need to go to play my next game!!
