Saturday evening, crew of pros from southern part of India
surrounded by ocean where tri-seas forgather, riding on two wheelers aiming at a
destination. These are the guys who work
crazy hard in various companies, who make lot of difference in world class diligence. They are the one who formulated the world to
look at a small town Nagercoil.
Nagercoil from Kanyakumari district, a lovely place with lot of
greeneries and bordered by seas. With lot of passion and fun these pros heading
to a lovely beach addressed as Sanguthurai.
Sanguthurai is one of the famous and adorable tourist spot in
Kanayakumari district. With snowy sand,
clean water, good breeze and less crowd, Sanguthurai stands alone from rest of
the beaches in Kanayakumari district. One after other these techie pros reached
the destination.
Pros are highly excited running
here and there making fun on each other; all of them are really a bunch of sporty
people. Now all of a sudden they started
selecting two victims who will be forced as captains. After few pep talks, captains were decided.
Two victims have to choose their crews.
In the mean while boundaries were drawn, goalpost were ready. Its beach Soccer, pros started playing soccer
in that peaceful environment. They were
not playing a professional game; they are not professional Soccer players. Except for few, others just know how to kick
the Soccer ball. More over the rules for
this game will not fit for any other International Soccer game in the worldJ.
Players have to play within a small
boundary (Quarter in size of a Soccer ground).
Throws are not supposed to be
thrown, rather have to kick by foot.
Goals should be shot with the
minimum height, less than knee level.
Goal Keeper cannot touch soccer
ball with hands.
Break every 10 minutes (Most of
them already carrying a Basket ball in their tummies :) )
No time limit, they will play
until the sun sets and darker enough to stop the game.
Now
the world’s most amusing Sand Slope Soccer started. Two teams which stand apart
started kicking the Soccer ball. Maradona,
Mesi, Ronaldo, Rooney, were some of the world class players name were used to
kid each other (Extremely Sorry world Soccer Spectators :) ). Each one of
them was specialized in one skill. Some
of our pros run and tackle fast, few are good at passing the ball, where others
used to defend, shoot, and kid (kidding each other is the important part of the
game :) ). One who kids
each other will get the maximum attention from the crews rather than one who
plays the game with heart and soul. To
score a goal, the soccer ball must completely pass over the line between the
goal posts below the crossbar is the rule in usual Soccer. In our Sand Slope Soccer to score a goal, the
soccer ball must completely pass over the line between the goal post below the
knee level. It doesn’t stop there; the
pros have to win a controversy after shooting the Soccer ball to the goal post. Mostly the disputes were about the height of
the goal shot (It’s below the knee level or not :) ). Goals will be confirmed only after winning the line of
reasoning. Sometimes they score and
sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they win
and sometimes they losses. In spite of everything they were jollying.
It’s not about who wins and who
loses the game at the end. It’s not
about what the game means to others who watches this curious game. It’s about what means to the professionals
who are playing, how many calories they burn, how happy they are and how they
become stress free during weekends.
Game continuous every weekend.... and
its Saturday evening.... I am getting ready for the game... searching for my
motorbike key....
My pals will always ask me about
the benefits of working in home town... credibly this must be one of the
answers to them.... Love my home town Nagercoil.
