Final shopping before wedding and sports that I cannot relate to…!

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

Hey…!

I hope all of you are doing well…!

It was a packed day yesterday which I took off from work,

Shopping earrings and a set that we plan on giving my sister,

On top of that we are deciding what we will give during the milni function maybe cash will be the go to;

But instead of that we are planning to give silver coins…!

(Remove the concept of cash in total…)

We also bought kaleere and rented the jewellery that my sister plans to wear on the day of her wedding…!

After trying on a few of them, this was the one she associated with the most…!

A few more days of shopping it’s said,

But,

I’m telling my mom and sister to finish it by Sunday evening;

So that we can start the other things from Monday onwards…!


Coming back to the prompt

Olympic sports that I enjoy watching…!

To be honest to you all,

I don’t even like watching cricket…!

(I know I am going to get some heat for that…)

But,

I genuinely don’t understand what is the reason behind watching guys in a circle catch a ball that other player hit…?!

It’s the same for football,

What is the reason that these athletes train so hard to kick a ball into others teams net…!?

Let’s not talk about the betting and immense money people lose on these sports…!

Some people literally put their life on the line and take money from people to bet it on these things…!

Only to lose in the long run even if a few bets hit…!


But,

Let’s not forget it being the a sense of interconnectedness amongst all of us…!

You feel left out if you don’t watch a cricket match of which either India is a part of,

even these IPL(Indian premier league…)

You feel left out as soon as the conversation starts and then you have to watch it with them or alone in your privacy…!


The only thing that I watch on the passing is badminton as it shows new ways and tricks the athletes use to be better at a sport that is already at its pinnacle…!

Another one would be shooting sports that include target hitting,

Even if it is air rifle or bow and arrow…!

But,

Have you ever given a thought to the fact how these people who sacrificed their lives to represent our country, India are looked at once the celebrations turn off…?

How they’re treated once they return home and spend a few years within those who call them their own…!

Their piles of medals bring them immense shame and they never plan on bringing their kids into the sport they perused or any those kids genuinely want to…!

That is how we treat those sportsmen/sportswomen who brought glory to our country…!


A thought that stays on my mind longer than it should…!


Cheers 🥂

Love Waakiye 🤍
