Swimming Race.....

5th June.After a long time I woke up before 8(AM ofcourse),it was the scheduled day for the issue of application forms for summer swimming camp at Sports Authority Of Andhra Hyderabad.I rushed to the bathroom for getting fresh,we were told by the security guard of the stadium to come 1 hour prior to the scheduled time.The clock was ticking at 8:15.We left at 8:30 with lots of enthusiasm.It felt proud seeing other people still lying in their bed sleeping.We took the shortcut for the ground specially provided for the IIIT students.Finally,after a ten minutes walk we reached the main entrance gate of the stadium.We were highly shocked to see the number of people who were there in the queue.There were even people who were sitting from 7:30 AM,it was way beyond our expectation.No sitting arrangement was done ,they just marked numbers from 1 to 150 in the ,and people were sitting on the FCFS scheme.We were still staring at the people around,much of crowd for just getting the application form for swimming.Somehow we managed to sit according to the numbers.It was very hot,and it was really very hard to sit for 1 more hour.But we were not alone there were other people too,that gave some encouragement and confidence .It was hard to pass time but suddenly with the pleasant sight of some pretty girls,all the boredom was pheeww..gone .So instead of making the environment hotter they made it pleasant and cool.They came for the same purpose but were late so didnt get any place to sit.I am not that much into CCgiri so I didnt offer my place to anyone of them.They tried to use their girlie excuses to get some favour but there was no hope so they went back.
Anyways,the gathering was slowly gaining size and becoming a crowd.People who didnt get the seats were seen calling someone trying for some "sources" the so called VIP quota which is pervasive in all the areas sports,politics everywhere.Ultimately it was 10:00 and the security guards started to distribute the application forms.After a lot of pain and suffering we got it but at last.A sigh of relief could be seen in all the faces.The pleasure and satisfaction was akin to winning a race--A swimming race, though we came last in that race the joy was overwhelming.
PS:Well,at last what I infer from the above instance is the competition and rush each and every field is having.There is cut throat competition.Specially,in coaching centres it has reached to its pinnacle.There are even coaching institutes meant for coaching the students to get into other coaching institutes.For gettin into swimming camp you have to bear so much pain.The condition is bad and it will take no time to get worse.I pray to God to press the restart button of the earth and boot it again from the starting for a fresh beginning of the end.
