Random Thoughts - positive
it is the day, for which I have waited for so long, my moment of glory, my part of the share. it takes a hell lot of preparation, i won't let it slip. I am going to be prepared... put in extra hours everyday. yep feeling good. you know it by instinct when you are well prepared... when things co-ordinate well... you move swiftly and all part of your body co-ordinate as if they are just going to multiply not just add, you know! The rhythm. So finally the day has come. I have to analyze it, the strong points and the weak points of myself and the opponent also. After all it's so integral part of the life, specially when it comes to the TOP. you are equally better or rather equally worse but anything extra might give you an edge. you know your opponent has put in same amount of effort, only thing is that you want to make sure that you are not behind. I just pray to God that my brain should be working. That is the only thing which helps in crisis. You know! this is the first thing which switches off when you require it the most.
I double-checked my preparation, i don't want to leave a single stone unturned. We are good friends. We chat everyday and talk about our preparations. We observe things and tell each other. We are competitive but not cheat. For last few days I have been observing him and making mental note about his weaknesses and strong points. I guess, he was doing the same. It's all fare in a Game. You challenge it openly, after all it's not just physical thing. It's all there in your mind. I wasn't able to decide about my strategy. His weak points were really risky for me. To attack or to defend. We both are aggressive but the thing is that I don't have to over do it. It's the question who breaks first. Finally i decided in favor of defense with aggression which keeps your brain working. That's what I need in the beginning. Once it gets going it becomes much easier to settle down in a kind of, rhythm.
Well things never go according to plan. I was becoming too defensive. We came at a point where we both halted. I knew whoever comes out first will win the race. I knew it was test of my character. But thank God! my brain was working. I cut it short and I knew things are going to be in my favor. It was very satisfying. These are those moments for which you live.
