The perfect Sunday morning

Yawn!!!

12 noon on a Sunday morning, and I could fall asleep all over again! This has been probably the best Sunday (well count Saturday, and I could rate this as the best weekend) in the recent past. It all began at half 5 on a Saturday morning. That darned alarm! If only it had not begun blaring its head off yesterday morning. Thinking about it, I really don't blame it any more!
Nevertheless, the Saturday morning game of cricket - began with the usual euphoria - M's team (the braggers) against us. I fail to understand why they make such great bones about themselves. In the last 7 games, they've lost 5 times! This weekend was no different. 2 closely fought matches - and we ended up winning both - the first by 1 run, and the second by a little more than that! But that should be enough for M to eat humble pie. K fractured his foot while playing, and I had a very valiant dive to stop a run - my back still hurts! :(
Had a very relaxing remainder of the Saturday - IPL sure is good fun! The matches are getting closer by the day now. Went out with some friends in the night for a nice end to the day.

Sunday morning - Now this has to be the best beyond any shadow of doubt. Went to a 9-hole course for my first game of Golf. I have to admit - it only looks boring on the telly. Go there to a driving range, and you'll realise how addictive it can get! Went with a couple of friends, 2 of us being first timers, and realised I should have done this a long time ago! Nevertheless, the feel of the iron in your hand, the slight bend, the backlift, and the swing to see the ball soaring high and handsome and land a good 150 yards within the first 10 balls I hit was sure exhilerating! It got better and better, until the coach gave me the next lesson. And to factor in yet another nuance form my next shot - and I suddenly realised the concept of beginner's luck ;) R was vehemently emphasising that when I was getting some good hits straight through like a ramrod. But I think I'm gonna get a bit more serious with this the next weekend onwards. And hopefully pick up enough to enter a tournament sometime in the near future (lol! if wishes were horses!).

Nevertheless, I guess if my bro can fly planes for a hobby, I can at least begin with golf, and then maybe live to see my dream of skydiving very soon! Until then, Golf rocks!! And I must admit that within a week, my outlook towards this game has changed from a boring old man's game to an exciting game! And I hope I will be able to convince a few more people over the next week - the ones who opted out this time, for various reasons whatsoever!
Tiger Woods - here I come!!
