volley and ME !!

Sounds strange right. Never before in the course of writing this blog have I told you about any hint of sporting talent being present within me so where comes this post about VOLLEYBALL of all things !! Yesterday, by some coincidences, I did happen to play a game of volley and unearthed some interesting facts about sports-a domain I am a stranger to. Sports, through the sheer fact of it being the heady combination of brain and brawn, excites oneself in myriad ways. I know by the time I reached the field and picked up the ball for the first time, I realized I was not playing for fun. There was something about the field, the sand on the court, the ball and people standing around the court that somehow made me feel that I need to play and play well. The end of the story is sad coz infact my team did lose the volley match and the other team clinched a landslide victory. But I dont understand, just the mere fact of playing and doing something other than mugging and writing gave me sheer excitement. True, my bones ached and legs felt heavy after the exercise but in the upper storey, I felt much more relaxed and ease with myself. Being new to sports, I fail to understand why sports does that to you...could somebody help me find out maybe.
