I return .. soon .. till then ..

Well ..

in a while ..

No I did not return in a while .. where I did return was the 🛌 .. just the elements of the 'nidra' overtook me and rather than fade out on the couch, chose to be horizontal ..

The ISPL , as has been promoted and delivered in adverts is well on its way to fructification and all the owners and the members that are involved , were needed to be in immortalised picture frames .. so yes , a photo cum meet shoot .. a very quick in and out between the evening hours .. with our friends and colleagues .. such a joy ..

Akshay one of the owners .. and an explanation to him about the surgery on my hand ..

Hrithik had done his shoot and had just left, to another engagement and we here were getting ready for ours, with yet another favourite, from the South - Suriya .. aah such a delight to have met him again .. and my extreme pleasure of sharing with him how greatly I admired that film song of his, on the film about Father and Son ..

Its a moment we shared on KBC, when we were having the Olympic Hockey Goalie on the 'garam kursi' .. PR Sreejesh .. and the winning moment when he saved the goal and won the medal, the KBC edit cut back to his Father, watching the game at home, simply exulted with the success .. and the song from Suriya's film .. AAHHHHHH .. played it a 100 times over and over again .. such an emotional moment .. and Suriya .. what an expression during that scene .. ufff .. can never get over it ..

The emotion of the real Father and Son relation and the moment in the game was simply incredible ..

PR Sreejesh as a kid had wanted to play Hockey, but because of his condition of lesser means never had a hockey stick .. he asked his Father to get him one .. but his Father could not buy even a hockey stick, because of their financial issues - did not have the money to buy it ..

So .. on Sreejesh 's insistence and wanting to give the Son what he wanted, his Father sold the only asset the family possessed - their cow .. the cow is considered a most sacred possession in most Hindu homes .. but the Father sold it to buy a hockey stick for his Son .. and his Son proves to all the World, what he was able to achieve, an Olympic medal .. and what a moment for his Father .. and that background song plays .. goodness .. tears in the eyes .. and a quivering heart .. !!

So Suriya .. before me and I narrate what I went through during that KBC moment .. and Akshay listening on .. and now disclosing to me that he is doing the remake in Hindi of that film ..

.. and the shoot for the pictures concludes with some fun and games

a few solo too ..

and the fun at another .. playing catch ..

Done .. home , dinner and 😴 .. with pleasant achievement of the Son , Abhishek , who's Kabaddi team wins an important and very tough game in Jaipur, against an opponent that had never lost so far in the tournament .. 🕺🕺🕺

and the laughter of success, but at the music Studio ..

And now to face the world again for another day

oh dear 😍.. this one has been long and filled with the pictorial ability of a follow camera .. apologies ..

But ..

My love ❤️

Amitabh Bachchan

[ad_1] Sreejesh celebrating on top of the goalpost. Source (X) Every save, every dive, each time he did acrobatic stuff to stop the hockey ball from flying into the cage, goalkeeper PR Sreejesh sent the audience into raptures. Well before the Indian hockey team departed for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Sreejesh had decided this would be his last hurrah. Nobody asked him to step down, nobody asked him to make way for the juniors, it was ‘Sree Anna’s’ own decision. That defines him as one of the best ever goalkeepers India has ever had, someone loved even by rival teams as a wonderful human being . Images from the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium in Paris appear in front of the eyes. On August 8, 2024, Sreejesh produced yet another adrenaline-felted performance. Anything and everything a goalkeeper should do – be alert, anticipate and visualise the angle from which the hockey ball would come flying at crazy speeds – Sreejesh was prepared to stop or save it. Finally, when India defeated Spain for the historic bronze medal, Sreejesh sank on his knees, bowed before the goalpost, as if to say a prayer and then shed his heavy gear. What followed was a mass hysteria of sports with the teammates carrying him around the perimeters of the turf, fans clapping, some even crying. This was with camera motors whirring non-stop, cell phones capturing every possible image from all angles. The master of goalkeeping, whose body dynamics left you in awe, walked out a King. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Boria Majumdar with PR Sreejesh after the win (PC: Boria Majumdar) The celebration which followed in the dressing room, tears of joy and sadness he was leaving as a player for the last time was difficult to digest. Indian hockey has seen terrible days in the past, when there were ‘camps’ and there was a divide between players from the North and West. Sreejesh is from Kerala but was equally liked by the Singhs from Punjab. One has to recall this as a big moment of Indian sports in 2024, when Sreejesh the giant retired. Every member of the team loved him. If he was ‘Anna’ for some, he was also ‘Paaji’ for players from North India. That is the kind of legacy Sreejesh left behind, having been part of two Olympic medal campaigns in Tokyo and Paris. To have lasted in international hockey for 18 years, Sreejesh was a role model. And what cannot be forgotten is how he also shone brightly in two Asian Games campaigns, resulting in gold medals in Incheon 2014 and Hangzhou 2023. This writer is fortunate to have watched him at three Olympics, three Asian Games and a few more events like the FIH World Cups. There have been brilliant goalkeepers before as well from India, but Sreejesh was a role model and a thorough team-man. He dared to do stuff which not many would. And he was a writer’s delight. A few days after India won the bronze medal in Paris, Sreejesh went to the iconic Eiffel Tower, tying a ‘mundu’ (dhoti) around his waist and posing with dark glasses. That photo broke the internet for its ingenuity. Sreejesh will go down as one of the greatest hockey players in World history. (PC: Team RevSportz) “I have to get back to Kerala, finally,” said Sreejesh, later in Paris, and on the flight back to New Delhi. He has no airs about being a celebrity, travelled economy class and was happy to be settling into a seat in the rear of the aircraft. Did he not deserve a business class seat? “These are small things, I have to be a normal person always,” said Sreejesh. Interviews on flights or even normal conversation can become interesting. Sreejesh made it clear, he wanted to quit and make way for the next generation. He said: “Unless I leave, how will the next generation of goalkeepers come up?” If that sounded banal, Sreejesh then decided he would opt out of the Hockey India League auction and join SG Pipers as mentor for both the men’s and women’s teams. He quickly slipped into a new role at the auction and was dressed in a formal suit. Would that be the new dress code? “No chance, it has to be casuals for me,” said Sreejesh.

And when the Indian junior side beat Pakistan in the Junior Asia Cup final on Wednesday, Sreejesh had again become a hero, this time as a coach. “I look forward to coaching,” Sreejesh said after he was hired by Hockey India. The transition he has made has been at the speed of a F1 car. As his post on X reads: Champion’s mandatory selfie, different role but same Josh.
