Visit to old age home 4

"Why does it take a second to connect to someone and forever to say goodbye?"

I am in a confused state today because I am really happy that I met my Nanis and spend the most wonderful time with them but at the same time it was our last official visit to old age home. Today the day was great because I didn’t planned anything and just wanted to be with them and share my feelings and enjoy with them. We reached there and I started chatting with one of the Nanis. She was making greeting cards by threading over a piece of paper. I was extremely amazed to see the technique she was using. I asked her to try and got a chance to do. Hyunju and I were enjoying it and were also learning new skill. It was easy and a new idea struck to my mind. I got an idea of making it a big production and can be use to sell in market, the royalty income of all this will be use for the improvement of old age home and their living standards. This idea can be put globally and can be used for the betterment of old aged ones. While coming back I promised her to come back to meet her.

Republic Day and Sports Day...

Once again my heart was filled with fun and excitement after 2 years. It was D Y Patil International School’s annual sports day on the same day of Indian Republic Day i.e. 26th of January. I am crazy for sports but last year didn’t get any chance. I received title of best athlete in 10th standard but due to less sport events I was not in position to participate in any sports meets. Day started with basket ball game because we had time for the program to start. After national anthem we all went to ground to help out in arrangements and to have everything in position. All were distributed different works and duties. My job was to give signals to start the race after checking the tracks and the positions of the athletes. Just after each race my next duty was to transfer the list of winners from the finish line to medal stand where teachers were writing names on certificates. It was really tiring for me and I was not getting any rest in between. From this I learnt the working of a system and the management of conduction of an event like this. In between we had a fun race in which Aditi Shah came on first position and Nishad came on second position (by unethical means). He was disqualified which was evident after watching the video of the race but I think if any person is disqualified than there is no point of getting the position. Again the events began and my job too. At last our race came where I was the king of track (hyperbolically). It was 4x100 m relay where I was running with my team Mukul, Aditi and Dasom. Mukul started the race and took a approximate 10 m lead and passed the batten to Aditi. Aditi continued and increased the lead with more 15 m. Dasom was in third position and ran very well and passed it to me. I ran and won the race which I felt like an amazing race because when I completed it was near about 50 meter lead. I was happy after winning and congratulated my opponents for the try. It was amazing and one of the most memorable moments of my life.
