So, the day is almost over, but it feels good to look back at it. Why? Okay !!! So the other day, one of my friends cum colleague at my University asked me to accompany her in a Polo match which was one of her dreams. I instantly said yes. That was a week ago. Now today was the day when we actually went to the Polo Ground to watch and witness our very first Polo match. 

It was organised as British Polo Day. Mostly the Polo matches are held in Jodhpur but this time round it was here in Jaipur. When I was in Delhi, I would always see pictures of Polo matches in the entertainment segment of the newspaper. I remember once my sister had expressed a similar desire to watch a Polo match. But unfortunately, never ever in Delhi, I got an opportunity to attend one.

Now coming to the match. I would say I know nothing about Polo. Ofcourse there are two teams playing to outdo the other in scoring the goals. I saw some brilliant piece of sports. It was really getting exciting when the opposite team would head to make a goal. Sometimes it was a goal, sometimes it was just a bit or a little too wide.. But simply amazing. I liked the way the Jaipur Polo team's Abhimanyu Pathak played. 

Now I think, I would love to see more matches of Polo, if I get an opportunity. Well, to talk about one of my favourite sports, in Delhi, there is an event of Tennis going on. Today was the concluding day of the IPTL which started on the 10th of December. I would have loved to see some great players, international ones whom I have always watched on television. Now that is one of my dreams : to watch players like Nadal or Federer or others play live. It will be so much fun. I already feel the excitement level rising high just by the thought of it.

Okay getting back to the day, I cannot believe , we missed our lunch to watch this Polo match. So when it got over, certainly our stomachs gave us signals of being empty. We went to a place called Tapri and had food to our contentment. Oh how wonderfully delicious the food was!!

We came back all frozen in the cold. Winter has come, that I got to know today. And now another very interesting thing I did was to gift a book to a complete stranger. One of my friends put a message of sending a book to someone and receiving six instead. That is an idea enough to trigger my zeal.. So as a rule I copy pasted it too. so lets see if i receive my books, my Christmas or my new year gifts I shall consider them. 

And just a little thing to add. I realized that I do not think too much in such kind of projects (lets call it a book project), I found a person, who started asking about the price, what kind of books and all that stuff which never came to my mind, and it would have never come. I am happy to have gifted somebody a book. Yayy!!!
