THIS BODY SHALL FALL TO THE GROUND WHILE PLAYING!

If there is one single gift that I wanted from God - it would be HEALTH till I die! No hospitals, no medicines - let me just fall down playing when my time comes. I shall serve his special people - THE CHILDREN - till my last breath and heart beat.

I have lived enough for myself - I NOW WANT TO LIVE for children - to see them gain confidence to face life through the medium of basketball. To become good human beings and develop the spirit of sportsmanship. Every day I get up and polish my skills so that I could become a `role model' for them.

Maximising their joy which in turn gives me `reason to live' - let God take me away when my time comes - from the playground!

NEVER WIN FROM A LESSER PLAYER - YOU WILL LOSE!

What is it that makes me `think'. God - my instinct or something else; I don't know. While driving to Tumkur a few days ago - I got the following thought. Whenever you lose from a lesser player - YOU WIN! Vice versa is also true - when you win from a lesser player - YOU LOSE!

When I am defending against a child who is very small - I take out my tongue and wiggle at him, refusing to lift my arms. In no time, the child is able to complete his or her basket - KNOWING FULLY WELL, that I won't lift my arms for defense.

A PLAYER WITH CONFIDENCE IS BORN!
