Racketball

Filed under: Sports

Had a run-in with Rocky Carson yesterday at my club. He is currently ranked number 4 in the world . He was very generous to come to our club to give few tips to a small group of players. Played a game with him , beat him black and blue ;) :) )

Well got myself a new racket too yesterday in the hope that everything I was doing wrong was because of the racket that I had . Rocky was good enough to spend time with me explaining what all I was doing wrong , well that was pretty much everything.

My league matches start next week, hopefully will break into the top 5 this time.

Soccer League

Filed under: GSB Chicago, Sports

Just signed up for the soccer league with a Mexican group . We are going to practice(play) every Thursday evening and we will have our league matches on Sunday. Lets see how this goes . Boy Do I know how to jam-pack my schedule. Will check if they play rough then I am out, cant take beatings anymore ;) Havent played soccer since I moved from SFO . Used to play indoor soccer on Tuesdays and Thursdays under the guidance of Ernie Fibausch , a US soccer hall of fame inductee. After the game used to go to some place eat and hoist a few suds. Wow the first taste of beer after a tiring game is like manna from heaven. The drive back home used to be even more tiring wondering if am I am DUI?

On weekends I used to play outdoor soccer with the Indians, good group but never co-ordinated . Well atleast I used to work up some good sweat.

At this place I have been regular only at racketball , and every once in a while some other sport. Getting back to soccer will surely lift my spirits and get me out of hibernation.

Reminds me I have registered to run in a few 5K and 10K races. If all goes well might be Chicago marathon , he he he in my dreams .

Called up GSB Financial Aid office and asked for some aid “Show me the money” . Being an international student, I have only one choice and hopefully they wont reject my application .

Need the moolah to finish this off fast. Spreading the loan over the years also makes it less tough.
