New Sense

So the Football(Soccer, if you like) WorldCup starts today. Among all the major sporting events I seem to be very disinterested with the whole finals of Football… Let me explain…

Personally I have a great fondness for Football. I have loved it as a player and I have loved it immensely as a viewer but the playing happened about four years ago and viewing stopped about two years later. I am very fascinated by the size of the event and totally love all the grandeur it brings but… I dont really care who wins.

I have watched World Cups before and have supported Germany, England and Spain at different times. Ironically each time I supported them they failed to make it to the top 8… Actually I think Germany managed to make it to the finals one of those times but I think I was supporting England that year

Well so the sporting events I am actually looking forward to this month are the Formula One races(we have one this weekend!) and Wimbledon.

Ps: For kicks (bad pun eh) I hope Spain wins… I always never liked Brazil so guess I wont be cheering for them (particularly)

I have been watching Formula One for about eight years now. During this time I have truly supported two teams and two drivers.

The first of the driver-team combos I followed was the Schumacher-Ferrari combination. Then in early 2003 I switched to Alonso-Renault. At the time I truly believed that only Alonso could step up and challenge the master, two years later he was the champion.

In the following years Alonso moved to McLaren but my loyalty always remained with Renault. He returned to Renault in 2008 and I was happy to see my favorite driver in my favorite team. Now after two years Alonso is moving to Ferrari, this time though my allegiance switches with him

I cant remember a season of Formula One I was more thrilled about. The return of Micheal Schumacher has only added to the anticipation for the next few months. And today was the launch of the new Ferrari F1 car! An event that served only like a trailer to the blockbuster that this season is going to be.

Something truly special is on the cards this year

Spent Thursday and Friday playing more sports than I have played in the last 5 years… Ten times over

Played Volley Ball for the first time in my life, did a decent job(at least my team mates said so ). Its a nice game, odd that I never played it before.

Cricket was what I was looking forward for the most, sadly I was really injured tired with all the Volley Ball action that I really messed up my bowling My fielding was comparatively much better, took a nice running catch in the outfield. That catch was one of the best I have taken ever Batting was something that came easily, Ended up playing a good knock but sadly we were like 6 runs short at the end of the match

Shuttle and Table Tennis was something I was not expecting to do really well in. It was all in good fun though

My whole body has been hurting for the past 2 days but I just loved the feeling of all that adrenaline. I am going to make a point of doing this more regularly
