Back to doing what I love!

Some things you always enjoy doing. They never die in you.

Today I resumed playing my favorite sport: Squash. After a long gap of 1.5 years, it was a pleasure indescribable to pick up my racket again, and bash the ball with it.

We have two squash courts in our work campus. It was on my mind since many days to resume playing, and today I finally made the much required start. I couldn't even concentrate on the warm-up, because the lure of taking the racket in my hand and starting to play was so enticing. Old memories filled my mind...I started to think, so much has changed in such a short time. The last time I left this court, I was such a different person, circumstances were so different. Then I came back to the present, and started my game.

Unfortunately, the long absence from the sport has made me lose touch, and the first 10 minutes I played as if I had never held a racket in my hand before. But then I started getting into the grove again. The sound and feel of the ball hitting the center of my racket was so satisfying. I wanted to release all the negativity through the power I was using to hit the ball.

At the end of 25 minutes, I was panting for breath. I decided to not overstretch myself on the first day. My skin was read with the heat, and my limbs ached pleasantly. It was the same sweet satisfaction that I used to feel earlier after completing a day's playing. Then I realized, a lot of things may have changed in 1.5 years, but then there are always a few that never do.

Thank God for that :)
