You’re back in my life!

FB: Hey Aravind, what’s that for which the whole world goes mad?
Me: Wait, I know, yeah, it’s FIFA?
FB: Ok, Good, now tell me, what’s that for which Aravind goes mad?
Me: Common dear, it’s nothing but FOOT BALL!
FB: Great! Wish you All the Best for your Conti Cup.
Me: Oh, dear you know that already!

You know, today I started a new chapter in my life. After 9 years again I started playing football. This time I’m playing for Conti Cup 2009/10. Thanks to Continental (Official Sponsor of 2010 FIFA World Cup, SA). I always aim high and it’s gonna hurt me lot, if we don’t even win the first match. I know, software engineers play quite well inside the meeting rooms but on playgrounds, let’s see.

Today, I felt like I got back one of the precious thing in my life, which I had lost. To celebrate this, remembering one of my favorite inspirational tracks: Ricky Martin’s La Copa De La Vida (the Cup of Life), I dedicate this Sonnet to you!

I dream of world, everyone holding you in their hand
It’s a different life; they’ve zeal, and know the purpose
When they start, never they look back, never they stand
Rushing against wind, sweating under sun, never to lose
Know they nothing but you, march they on and on for glory
Play they beyond their horizon, to reign their world
While crossing oceans, climbing mountains, never they worry
With no ruin of rule, their mind plays tactics unprecedented
Mysteries of world get fogged by their strategies for a survival
Sometimes motivated, sometimes demotivated, but firmly destined
every ticking moment, kicking and kicking, it's like a carnival
Here they move and move where had they never moved
Can they push you there where you get a freedom
and they hug the victory? I shall do it being out of dream!
