An Experiment With Football # 8

We tried raising some funds to sponsor the match planned on 14th July, 2013. We are really thankful to the entire IIM U community as we collected Rs.1180 and brought ourselves 3 brand new Nivea footballs. The boys at the villages went bonkers looking at the new footballs. We felt the spark again. 

They are the thorn-plants -- Babool. If pricked by them, the pain is immense. Imaginne Lokesh, Kailash playing bare-footed every evening and at times limping because of it. Here they are, volunteering to clean the mess up and have a nice ground for us to play. We already have punctured 2 footballs in past 10 days and cannot afford to lose more. 


Lots of work to do in the sun !!

They call it as 'white-white' and they form our boundaries. They are slowly working together, realizing they are a team, now they offer water to the other first and drink later, get on the ground in time waiting for us to arrive and are even ready to jog around the ground. Earlier it seemed them to be as a punishment, now they realize its essential. 


Form a straight-line and pour on the 'white-white'
Abhisek, the new addition to the team jogs around the team. It is great to watch them play. Would soon post a video of them playing. The revolution begins at our own backyard. Kranti Ayegi, Hum Layenge. Cheers.
