End of street sports

                                   
                                         I went to my hometown for semester holidays after a long time.I was bored of watching tv, there was no movie left in my PC to watch and i was tired of taking lot of rest.So i took my old BAS bat and went to our usual ground to play cricket.For me the best form of cricket is neither the TEST nor the T20 but our gully cricket.For a second i thought whether i entered into some park.There were tall grasses,bushes and even some cattles grazing them.It looked like it had been ages since someone played in that ground.


                                                                       I messaged to my friends asking them to come to the ground.But eachone  was busy with their own work.Some went for inplant training to get a useless certificate,Some went for classes to learn new computer languages and others were busy with their girlfriends.They might have thought i am the only one who had no useful work to do.Ofcourse it was 100% true.But i do not know when did dating with a gf had become useful than playing cricket.

                                                                         
                                                                           Leave out the so called budding professionals.What happened to the school kids? Does even school kids go for inplant training? oh ya! They are busy playing smackdown and  fifa in their playstations. There were time when i used to go to ground with my brother just to watch them play.There were dozens of kids like me who used to watch those matches as if they were final matches of a IPL season.


                                                                      I feel pity for this generation school students,who will not have sweat in their forehead other than their games period.To an extend i get angry on their parents for allowing them to sit in an Ac room and play videogames for hours together.Especially parents of this generation must be so concerned in their child's sports activity as the child's academics.Ironically they are happy gifting PS on their ward's birthday,which makes them damn lazy.

                                                                 There are handful of parents who themself do not know the importance of sports. Thank god i am born in 90's. I think my generation will be the last to play in streets and first to use playstation.I feel this generation kids are the starting point for the demise of street sports.

                                                                          There is no wonder that i have to show pictures and videos to my son to make him believe that once sports were played in streets.Thinking all these in my mind, i returned home and started watching tv again.
