NDA mein hamare national game ko bahut mehtava diya jaata hai, at least India mein yeh ek jagah hai jahan hockey rag rag mein basi huee hai...... Hockey ka istemal yahan khelne ke sath sath aur bahut activities mein hota tha..... aap samajh hi gaye honge, kyonki samajhdar ko ishara kaafi hai.

Hockey ki har squadron mein 6 teams (strings kehte the) hoti thee, 1st string ki team mein sabse top ke player hote thay, 2nd string mein uss se thode kam acche, so on and so forth till 5th string team....

My boxing saga...... Yeh kahani satya ghatnaon par aadharit hai

Ok, so at the outset let me clarify that all characters in this story are real and not imagined including me.

I was a wonderful boxer since my school days, i had been constantly sparring with my weight, was always in a slugfest with my studies, usually KOed by my teachers and was constantly moving and blocking any attempt to physicalise me...... In cricket i was the umpire, in football i was the goalie and in athletics I was nowhere to be seen.

With such fine physical traits I joined the NDA...... Ab okhali mein sar day diya toh phir moosal se kya darna...... Jisne bhi yeh kaha woh sala NDA ki okhali mein nahi jhanka..?

The travails of x-country running at NDA

I was my squadrons most dependable runner..... no one can maintain a x-country running graph as flat as I could

I think a prelude is in order before I let loose.

The physical training or PT that i had done in school was restricted to standing in vishram and stretching the arms up and down with the beat of the drums, aur uss se bhi kayee bar hath mein sprain padh jata tha. Running was restricted to the sprint (if you can call it that) to exit the school as soon as the school closing gong was sounded.
     

I once took part in Shot Put throw and managed to throw it 2 mtrs and explained to the PT teacher that I had mistaken Shot Put as Short Put. I still remember the force he Put in his Short on my cheeks and that was the end of my athletic career.

Salil's Day 1 at the Gym

Author : Salil Prashar


Today after a hiatus of god knows how many days i finally joined a gym. I was putting off joining by reasoning that I required a break after my retirement, not that I had ever gone to any gym for the last many years........ But then what do these civilians know.

On entered the gym i was cornered by the owner and his first question was " what is your target?"

I was like... Target!! ..... Was his vision cataracted..... Couldn't he see my re-tyred body.... Anyways..... I pointed to the obvious and laid it out to him nice and simple.....

Salil's review of star plus serial "diya aur baati"

IPS offr sandhya rathi beats off two terrorists and hangs on to a nuclear missile being carried under-slung by a helicopter. 

She climbs a rope with a mix of 1st and 2nd class style, gets into the chopper kills the terrorist boss, then gets out of the chopper and re-enters the pilots cabin and kicks him out.

Only 15 mins are left on the timer of the nuclear missile.

She then starts flying the heptr, lekin safety first..... so she spends almost 3 mins in wearing the seatbelt.
