I looked out from my drawing room window and found a boy group play 'controlled compound cricket'. They are generally a bashful group of buddies who are in their early and pre teens, swinging mature batting stroke misadventures in the apartment parameters- the tall lamp post adjacent to the parking lot blinked in broken darkness from one such recent hit and run escapedes.
Being placidly playful was a sad sight as they played golf over cricket with a tennis ball!! The submissive play has lasted for a few days now and I see them gear up for compound cricket once again. Indraya Pasanga/Ponnunga League(IPL) is for all seasons :)
Besides this religious activity, the huddling together as 'boys' and 'girls' apart, gossiping small talk, giggling, discussing games and gadgets and any given technical trivia are the things they grow on. Play lesser and win harder is the attitude that works on the field or off it, owing to limitations like space, and getting big on creative freedom for their own uninfluenced territory and reaching a winner's end at all costs.
Given to the single child phenomenon in many households, its an 'all for one' emotional and financial investment in a single child, who is loved as if he/she is the family's world, whereas outside of such comfort and in the compound, the child is one among the many wannabe hit and run winners. Slowing the kid down with love is not happening anymore, but to gear up towards hastened success is fast becoming a theme for Indraya pullainga league.
