World through my Eyes

Its becoming more popular in india and recently celebrated 52nd National Games in Mumbai. Well a lot can be talked about the sport, the hard work that goes with it. The kind of commitment shown by Parents, Kids, Coaches , organizers etc, the list goes on. I had first hand experience on what goes behind the scene. When i say behind the scene, i would like emphasize the effort put into getting the gear ready. The gear includes a variety of tools and equipment. Starting with as basic as laces, shoes, skates frame, wheels, bearing, bearing oil, cleaning liquids, and many more. With such gear comes a lot of maintenance. Which has to be done to keep the speeds and performance of the skater at optimum levels. Failing to clean them impacts the speed by a fraction of second and that's fatal in races. We can recall one of those saying when people use to remind us the importance of time. Ask a athlete the importance of second or micro second, the same goes with skaters too.

Well let me take you to the start !!  Where it all begin. It was a chilled out day in Mumbai ,morning was refreshing. I was on my first visit to the bolly city. My presence here was to motivate my nephew,but I ended up being motivated. Let's get there a little later. So the fresh morning had a fresh plan, to visit mata temple at virar. The plan sucked to the core as we ended up visiting just the foothills and not the temple. That journey was filled with so much dust and sweat though. Little later we were back all set to go back to the base. Remember this point,we had a taxi booked from taxi4sure.com. The taxi was confirmed and we ready to roll. At 5:00 pm , 30 mins before the arrival, we were informed that no taxis were available. Let me again tell you, it was virar 60 km away from airport and 80 km away from railway station. The air was filled with frantic phone calls to and fro, with taxi guys and with no success. All they do is apologize for their mistake, least unders
