My love for games :Olympics &It's history

As Everyone knows that game of Olympics is going to start very soon .Earlier ,For the very first time in the history that Olympics games was postponed .It was supposed to happen in the year 2020 but Pandemic caused it delay .We all are cooped up in our house from very long time because of coronavirus pandemic .This is the demand of the time to stay indoors. But slowly -slowly ,Things are opening up .People are trying to get back into their life amidst the fear of covid around .So,Olympics is also gearing up for its 2020 edition ,which is pushed to the year 2021 .So,Now wait is over and Olympics games are starting from 24th July .It is scheduled from 24th July to 8th Aug 2021. This year the host city is Tokyo,Japan .This Olympics is gonna happen in Japan National Stadium.       

So,Let me talk about my interest and love for games. It has been said that games are only for fun .I don't know ,who says ? Game can add lots to your life ,if taken seriously .I really appreciate all those people who didn't listen to the unnecessary thoughts of the people on games and followed their choice .Well,I participated in Olympics quiz and got this certificate .I keep my eye on the games very closely .This is not only about Olympics but commonwealth and Asian games as well .so ,Many of those who don't know about Olympics games and its history then ,This piece of blog is for you .                                      The Olympic games were held in 776 BC in the honour of Greek god ,Zeus at Mount Olympus .This mountain area has a lush green valley between Alphesus River and Mount Kronion .That time ,I mean during ancient Olympics ,The winners would received a crown of olive branches .But ,As time grew up ,The face of Olympics has changed .Modern Olympics games found its first start in Athens ,Greece on 6th April ,1896.Olympics games are organised after every four year .The Olympics flag was recognised in 1913 but hoisted in 1920.Slowly,Olympics got its new addition ..The tradition of litting Olympics flame was started in 1928 in Amsterdam . Olympics symbol is really beautiful that talks about unity .It comprises five rings linked together to represent the sporting friendship between nations .The five rings symbolises the continents with colours pattern .Blue (Europe),Yellow (Asia) ,Black (Africa),Green (Australia),Europe (Blue).Initially ,Women participation was not allowed but women got its right of participation in 1900 edition of Olympics .Modern Olympics champion are rewarded with medals , certificate and cash prize .The winning athlete receives gold medal ,the second place holder receives silver medal and the third place holder receives Bronze medal .Everyyear the motto of Olympics gets changes .This year the motto is United by emotion .                                                There are some facts about Olympics .London is the first city in the world to host Olympics thrice .Tokyo is the first city in Asia to host the Olympics twice .The 2024 edition of Olympics will be host by France and 2028 edition will be host by USA .                                   So,I have given little insights into the history of Olympics .Like most of you ,I am also very excited for this year edition of Olympics because this gonna be little different because it's covid era .Let's see how the face of Olympics looks like and how the history will create .

My day on stage

It was 13.12.2023 ....I woke up early in the morning because I had to write my assignment .....Usually I wake up around 7'0 clock when i have no where to go about .... When I have to go then i wake up early because its take alot for me to get out from the sleep zone and focus on to the wordly activities. ...But this morning was quite different because I had to rush to deliver my topic on the stage . I was excited so it didn't take me much to zone out from the sleep. Usually Mornings are calm for me ...I am in no speaking zone but that day my mind was constantly speaking inwards about VS Naipaul. A Diasporic Author who is known across the world for his terrific writing in fiction . I had chosen this topic to deliver on the stage while all my mates had chosen common topic among them called Train to Pakistan which i had no idea about ...when i reached there in the hall I realized that only i m delivering topic on diasporic and felt out of blue but composed myself becau...

A love letter to the year 2023 💌

Its so obvious that when a year is passing then its defintely a flow of emotions ,mixed feelings of keeping something with you and the idea of letting it go gives you euphoria packed with dichotomy .      Well ,Talking about the year 2023 ,Its been a good year with lots of ups and downs in my mental and  physical state . Looking back to the start of the year ...I find how things changes and how fast the day and night changes ... Those changes really put you through some amazing experience which you want to keep close  forever because you know that whatever the experience is be it good ,bad or ugly ...you can't create it again ..Every year gives you some moments of nostalgia ,some moments that you want to repeat again  ,while some moments you never want to visit ...A reflection of year gives you insight about how you were in the start of the year and what a year changes in your inner self nd in your sorroundings . I think that life is a beautiful journey mix...

The moment of Curiosity and Learning :2013

When I talk about the moment of Curiosity and Learning then its literally take me to the year 2013 ...Yes ,You heard it right ...The Year 2013 when I was in my most curious state of mind because that was the year where i was appearing for my first board exam and i had lots of anxiety and curiousity going in my mind about future ..about how will i hold my life and how i will able to mould it the way i want ? But ,the most important thing was in my mind that "will i secure good marks" because the classmate i had back then were someone who would use to talk more and act less so they all had made it look like that its the cake walk for them and my mind was full of self doubt because i never felt like this and i don't think that anything is cake walk for me but anyway ....All of this sudden self doubt went away when i stood first in the that batch and the one who bragged stood nowhere ...that was my first lesson that never get carried away by someone 's pretentanious thing...
