I enjoy outdoor sports such as badminton, basketball and cricket. I have regularly
played these sports right from my school days and have continued to do so in
college through various intra-college competitions. As a part of the school field
hockey team, I have won various inter-school events and also managed to win
the Delhi zonals. Physically exerting myself has always proved to be a great
stress buster. Apart from being an entertaining way to stay fit, playing sports
has developed within me the virtues of being humble in victory and gracious in
defeat. It has taught me the importance of being patient and working hard
towards achieving ones goals. I have learnt how to align ones personal
aspirations with the larger goals of the team. This spirit of camaraderie has
always helped me to gel easily with people and to work well in a team.
Perseverance, even in the face of defeat, is a universally applicable quality that I
have developed playing sports at different competitive levels.
I would consider successfully organizing an event for our college fest 'Moksha' as
one of my proudest moments. It took weeks of careful planning, budgeting and
lobbying to coordinate an event that was attended by almost 500 people. The
said event was dubbed 'Battle of the Bands', an inter college rock band
competition. This involved coordination with various teams handling different
aspects of the event. Often, even the most trivial details led to heated debates
and extended arguments. Finding the middle ground that suited everyone proved
to be an enormous challenge. Interacting with teams from different colleges and
also with people handling logistics such as sound systems, lighting etc. was often
difficult, but turned out to be a great learning experience. In a very short period
of time, the experience contributed greatly to my interpersonal skills and also to
my ability to work on strict timing and monetary constraints. The most satisfying
experience of all was to see 500 people thoroughly enjoying themselves during
the event. It was very rewarding to see that weeks of hard work had finally paid
off in the form of an immensely successful event.
