The importance of halftime in Sports (and in Life)

 



In several team sports, 

game is played in two halves. 

Half-time is the name given to the 

interval between the two halves of the game.

During the half time, the individual sportsperson

or the entire team (with the guidance of the coach) 

make necessary adjustments, such as formation changes, 

style of play changes, strategy change and player substitution. 


Halftime also gives athletes a chance 

to refuel, hydrate and tend to any aches 

or injuries they experienced in the first half


It's time to evaluate your First half. 

Goals Achieved and Goals that slipped. 

Habits you acquired - good as well as bad.

Time that you Lost to unproductive activities.

The half time is a wake-up call as time runs out. 


Look at your Goal Sheet and Resolutions list 

that you put together diligently and signed in January. 

How are you doing on all those things you promised yourself?  

Have you stopped chasing some of those goals entirely? 

have you achieved any goal faster than planned? 


We are approaching June end. 

And It is time for a mid-year Audit. 

Your own personal parent-teacher meeting

where You are the Parent, You are the Teacher. 

You give the feedback and You gladly receive it too.

Be Realistic. Be Brutally Honest. Don't make Excuses.  

Re-plan the remaining 6 months based on lessons learnt. 


Use the first week of July to assess your first half 

and plan for success in the second half of 2024

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
