Soccer Mania!!

Hello All,

Taking advantage of the gorgeous summer, I enrolled in soccer classes this month.


I have always liked kicking a ball around but wanted to get serious about it. I perfected my soccer stance after my first class itself.





Whenever I have to dodge a defender, I just think of Mom trying to feed me and I run clear of them very easily.





My coach and some of my teammates are going head over heels looking at my progress(like this guy in the picture)







Of course, it helps my scoring rate when there is no goal keeper.





And I feel the best part is the soccer tattoo I get on my hand at the end of each class.




I am not sure if its all the soccer talk but I had this strange dream last night...




"It was the final minute of the second half and the score is tied at 1-1. This is the last drive before we get to overtime and the ball is now passed to the rookie "Diya".


She looks awfully calm given the circumstances...."




"She drives through the left flank dodging a few defenders along the way. Look at how she blazes past the yellow jerseys, still in complete control of the ball. Excellent footwork!!"




"She goes past the final defender with an incredible deception. She pauses a moment to look at the advancing goal keeper and with her right foot goes for the top left corner... beats the diving goalie..... and ITS A GOAAAALLLLL!!!!!"


The crowd goes berserk.... Unbelievable!!! The rookie wins the world cup for the nation!!!!



Ah well!!! I had to wake up sometime....




Anyway, take care all of you and hope you have an active summer too...


Lots of love,

Diya
