Once you step on the field...

VVCL in its fifth edition has begun, although earlier than past years, thanks to the sparse rains of the year 2015, and the players who have turned up on field for the past two morning sessions have felt better with their ageing bodies. The thought of returning to fields, which once were second home during childhood, have brought warm memories back along with the excitement to savour few more in coming days.

The hectic calendar in which everyone of us is trapped into and are desperately looking for the welcome break with a space for oneself, can be easily found on the playground that provides equal opportunities for every individual to showcase his ability, being part of a team that cares for him and strives hard for achieving a common goal that is ‘to bring back life onto the fields that alike global warming are causing serious health & social issues since the young generation is turning their backs to it’.

In the world full of people those who have become slave of their habits like fresh air of air-conditioning rooms, breakfast over a burger, pizza for lunch, smartphones for entertainment & social gatherings on whatsapp are dangerously moving ahead towards disaster that may lead the coming generations’ to stay aloof with deteriorated social values. VVCL is a small medium that allows some resistance and provides opportunity to reverse the adverse effect caused by the lifestyle we live with. Though it comes with a price of sacrificing some sleep during Saturday mornings, a temptation that is hard to resist but once overcome, will lead you to good old days that were spent enjoying field games competing alongside your best of the best friends.

And, once we step on the ground the inner competence within each one of us finds its way out, and the sheer presence over the outfield seduces us with aura which one can only be experienced than expressed.
