SAF games ka india ka test series chal raha tha. Guwhati ke stadium me or 1^st match ham logo ne asani se jita usi doran mere pair me mouch ayi thi pair achank se suja huwa tha night ko hamara final match tha to mujhe kisibhi taraha miss nahi karna tha esliye mene. Match ke pahle shoes ekdam jor se bande or bhagne nikla tabhi coach sir ne pucha ruk ruk ke q bhag raha hai to sir ko bola ki thoda pair me mouch aya hai, sir ne doctor ki salah di.

Game ka time thoda baki tha to mene dr ke sath hospital gaya or doctor ko bola mujhe jaldi thik karva do mera match hai to doctor ne xray ke liye bola to mene mana kiya taki koi problem na ho lekin kiya or jaldi match k liye ground gaya. Lekin tab tak hamari match last moment chal raha tha or mera match khelna o junun adhura rah gaya.

To iss prakar Anand Pokarde sir jinko pyar se log balu bhi bulate hai, unse se kuch baatein ki, awr unko dhero subhkamnaye di aage ki matches k liyea.
