Tennis has always been an exclusive sport, without easy access to equipment and courts. For me, in many ways, it still is because I dont find people to play with, even though I have rackets and access to a court.
While I was playing on the half court today, a few kids gathered just outside watching me play. Reminded me of the time when I was small and used to be fascinated by people playing tennis, wondering when will I ever get the chance. Once, my brother and I bought a pair of wooden rackets for 5 Dirhams and played on the road, but the rackets lasted only that one day. I could sense the fascination in those kids, and so I handed my extra racket to a kid. And there he was, all excited to try out his hand at tennis, and they took turns to play. Who knows, if one of them make it big, they might remember the start I gave them.
In our selfish world, nobody pays any attention to people on the sidelines. Those dreamy eyes, longing for a chance, go unnoticed. I am happy about my good deed and I will continue drooling over those Porsches, hoping for some karma.
you got karma all wrong...give a penny, get a penny...all you'll get is maybe a ride in a porsche...
ReplyDeleteAlso, karma essentially requires detachment, don't expect the fruits of your actions...so you are basically screwing with the concept..I'm reading the Gita you see :P
You have arrived with your usual bang!!! yaay
ReplyDeleteA ride is what I am talking about. Will do, I think, for starters.
