STAY AWESOME

A few weeks ago I had this sudden urge to play Frisbee. For anyone reading this who doesn't know what Frisbee is: Frisbee is an awesome sport that most people instantly fall in love with because of its simple yet exciting game play that they can pick up very fast.I missed it so much that I decided to stop felling sorry for not being able to play  it and to look out for opportunities where I can play this sport. Although, I knew that it is rare that any sport gets recognition in this country where Cricket is almost a  religion(&
Cricketers are almost demi-Gods) and anything other than Cricket is unpopular, I kept hoping that there would be some peeps who have picked up this sport from somewhere and play it in Mumbai.
So I did the first thing that anyone looking for something does-- Googled it..and I wasn't disappointed.After a bit of search I came to know about this professional Frisbee team from Mumbai who call themselves "Storm Chasers". I called them up and the guy on the other end was kind enough to let me know more about their training schedules and even invited me to join them for one of the practice sessions.I planned to go check out this team on Saturday as I was packed with lessons till Friday.
I was really happy that day. I was so happy that I made plans of getting back into shape (upgrade my stamina, sharpen my flicking skills,etc). I woke up early next day to run, which not many people do around here. I could hardly see anyone around on the streets or in the park when I was out running. I saw a couple of old folks walking around and being the only one running through the deserted park in the early hours seemed quite weird.And just after I had made all the plans to go play Frisbee that Saturday, I got to know that we would have regular classes Tuesday through Saturday that week. I thought it was just that week because we missed a few lessons due to the Swine flu scare. But, next week too, same story-lessons all week long. And week after that and the week after that....Weeks passed and  I am still longing to feel that awesome disc in my hand.I want to chase it, grab it, flick it and score-the ULTIMATE way.

PS: I miss you Frisbee and can't wait to lay my hands on you once again.
