a football story

It was on a lazy saturday,we (vahid,faisal,raji,fawas, akbar,kiran and vineesh) decieded to play football in ITI football stadium to recollect our old good child hood days and to keep our fittness as we were not doing any workout.

Its a long time since we played football, as everybody is very much engaged in their job.we were geting very less free time to spend together.We used to spend that time by simply playing carroms or watching TV soaps.Playing football was really a good option to utilise our free time on weekends, so everybody liked the idea.

So we guys decieded to bring boots for playing football from kerala as we were going to celebrate eid overthere.We found that it would be moer economical to bring boots from kerala.

So everybody purchased the boots and other accessories.

But unfortunately, we really forgot one thing.

Nobody had purchased a football!!!

So on a saturday evening, I and faisal started roaming to purchase a football,we checked it out in many outlets nearby our residence.We found many footballs, but didnt purchase because we were given strict instruction to purchase only branded football that shoul meet all FIFA standards by raji.

So we headed towards indiranagar,we searched around one hour for a football and asked many

shops.

Shopkeepers reacted like they were not heard about a football in their life.

Finally we were planning to return home,we simply decieded to check a shop on CMH road,

there alaas!!! we got a football that matches our requirement.

As soon as we cleared the payment in counter, faisal started to play football in shop premises itself.People around us were staring at him.

Somehow i managed to take him on my bike,but he was in full spirit of palying football,

even at traffic signal he tried to put the ball on road and started to play it.

As soon as we reached home,everybody started to practice in our room itself.

Fawas was showing some dribbling actions,eventhough he failed in that,i could help him out.

We discussed lots of matters like we should reach the ground as early as possible then we can play for a long time and we will be really having a ball of time as we were having lots of innovatice tricks to be shown.

Raji told he can play as long as possible as he was playing football in infosys campus along with his team mates.So i thought he would play he woulbe having great stamina.

Anyway we all practiced in room till 1am and went to sleep.

Faisal had taken football along with him to his bed and he slept with football.

On the next day ,that was a sunday ,we got up at 5.30am and dressed in football dress and headed towards ITI ground.

We were so early so we could see nothing as it was completly covered with thick fog,

Even some stry dogs were staring at us by thinking "who the hell is"

As compared to our expectations, it was a big ground and everybody started to do some warm up actions and started to play football.

All were very eager to show some dribbling tricks and kick actions as we were watching premier league and champions league everyweekends.

All tried to imitate worlclass footballers and we were enjoying the game very much.

After half an hour ,one by one started to feel feebled as we were playing after a long gap.

When we see raji withdrew from ground, we all struggled to control our laugh as he claimed he could play maximum.

So one by one started to pull off from ground and laid on the outfield.

Everybody lost there there stamina and vigour to play further.

Anyway within one hour game finished and we returned to home.

On the next sunday sombody asked "will go for a football match?"

But the question in still unanswered.

After that we never touched the football.

It is there in the corner of our room as a silent witness for our unexpected football thirst.
