Time Management !!!

Howdy folks,

Today’s post title may sound little theoretical but the post is completely full of excitement and fun. A different genre considering it’s impact to our present lives. Another perfect #ThrowBackThursday post to me.

It’s again about my school life and it dates back to XII grade. Not sure how but we guys were very conscious in time management when it comes to sports alone.

XII std as you all know in all schools the students are tormented and made to think only about Books, Exams and Special classes. We were no different. #NoHoliday was always in our agenda. But we guys made sure our Sporting activity doesn’t go in vain.

We used to get couple of sessions of free time which we had to utilize to the core. First, our Lunch break and second between 4.00 p.m. to 4.15 p.m.

Coming to the lunch break, we guys always used to have lunch in a gang being a strength of 10 guys & grab our lunch very fast as possible. Energy boosters used to Abilash’s lunch because it used to come hot and most often with Non-Veg in it. Seriously folks, we never hesitated to fight for it and grab our share not occasionally but almost daily. (I think I would write a special post on that some other time). After lunch used to be around 20 minutes window of free time. We always make sure we come down for lunch with our Exam pads. You guys must have guessed those who have used it effectively if not, let me reveal. It was “Pad Cricket”. We used to carry a small Plastic ball always and used to play Cricket. Rules were simple, One pitch catch out, each player one over, scores only through boundaries and Direct six also used to be Out. Those who have played those legendary games I am sure it will definitely bring smiles on all your faces. We used to play so fast like everyone (Around 8 of us when comes to game 2 were exceptional don't want to mention them now he he he) used to get their chances and even get a winner daily.

Second most time conscious activity which we used to do was everyday between 4.00 p.m. to 4.15 p.m. You all must be thinking what we used to do. Its not cricket again, but this time its volleyball. Everyday we had special classes between 4.15 p.m to 5.15 p.m. So before that we used to have 15 minutes window of free time. In this time period, we used to go to rest room and quickly assemble at the ground. There used to be a pre-planned team which we plan well before 4.00 p.m. So no time wastage, Straight away we enter into the arena, and start playing. In that window, we make sure we play to the fullest. My teammates mostly used to be Sunil, Abilash & Vishal. Opposite always used to be Syed, Navenee, Noorul etc. Still remember one incident when Syed broke his brand new Frameless specs. But man, his attitude nobody can come near him. Had I been in his place would have cried, but he casually kept it in his pocket and continued playing. Of course he escaped from studying that evening special class he he he. Coming back, we also make sure we had our best shots and shoots because often bunch of our Junior girls used to see us play. What else more you need to show your skills and shoots. Credits to all our Junior guys, who daily give space for our game without asking. They always keep the ball ready for us and allow us to play during that time. Such was the culture of our wonderful school.

These two session of play we atleast I would consider it now was a perfect Time Management class because, it taught us to maximize our efforts and give our best within a restricted time. Many of us are now time conscious and work efficiently I feel also because of those untaught chapters from books.

I am sure this post will bring memories of those two sessions to my School buddies of XII grade.

Buddies, this post would have never come without you all. It completely belongs to you all.

Forever buddies.
