One of our mega event of the year
Every year, on the eve of Christmas, we all unite to join the mega sports event of the year - the cricket match, that reminds us memories of our time. It's fixed on this day on purpose - all are summoned to keep aside their busy schedule and join us on this day. Some people join us from abroad, so fixing this particular day makes it easy for them to plan ahead of time. This year, we invited a team from another nearby village as well to make it more competitive and fun. The captain of that team used to play with us, so he knows each of us. Three teams were formed, out of more than 70 people joining this event. If you are a sportsman, then you must be knowing, that being there itself brings those cheerful memories of our young time. Some of them came just for that purpose - enjoy the togetherness and cherish their memories.
The coin for toss - someone brought this to make it special. And then introducing all players to our guest of honor - one of our beloved elder brother.
It takes lot of collective effort to arrange such mega events and we were given the charge to organize the tents, some other were responsible for food, some people arranged the t-shirts for three teams, and then some other took care of the sports items. And most importantly everything was supposed to be in time - good that it was executed flawless by each set of people , and we could start the event by 10 am. As you can see, each team were given their t-shirts of different shades. Colorful, isn't it ? But collecting the size of each person, ordering them and getting in time - you can imagine the planning and effort going in since last three weeks.
Captains of two teams for the first match - in their fifties, but look at the enthusiasm.
Old traditions - discussing the game plan, and praying for the win.
Teaser food is an essential part of these events and those who organized it did no fault to make it delicious - you can feel it ?
Seeing some of the friends after long time makes this a special day. So much special that, I had to sacrifice the party that my son is giving today to his friends. Delegated the job to the lady and came here to meet all friends.
Some of them are in their sixties but they come just for the company and memories, as you can see. There were three matches between each of us and we won two matches, becoming the winner. It's fun to see the body movements not matching the sportsman spirit, but that is what makes this event special.
And we were fortunate to have our local MLA with us to encourage - he supports all kind of sports and is leading the discussion to make a mini stadium for us. He is literally part of every sports event.
And that special delicious lunch.....
We ate as much as we could - the cook did a nice job and have been part of this since last few years. He is informed well ahead to be available for this.
Reminds us our young time - we can eat sitting anywhere, no special arrangement needed.
A nice day spent with friends to celebrate Christmas, Wish you all Merry Christmas.

This is a well planned event by choosing a day where almost everybody will be available. Having meals after the matches too is an awesome one . Nice pics, you are making me salivate😁
Yes, its pretty well planned , planning starts almost a month before.
Wow! That’s the reason for the success of the occasion. Thanks for the support 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Winter is all about picnic and cricket. We met last week over LinkedIn BTW.
Wow with so much planning it’s no surprise the event looks so colorful and very organized. Having a fixed date makes it even easier for everyone to fix their schedules and find time for it.
Cheers to a great event and hopefully you can enjoy more.
A day dedicated for ourselves.
I saw the video, so I was wondering how cricket is being played. It's quite challenging but it's fun when one masters the art of playing the game. these and some delicious delicacy. I guess sporting events cannot go by without having food as well
It's all about time with friends and fun - most do not have the fitness and it's fun to see they trying to meet their spirit and missing it.
Best way to make christmas an eventful day..we have sports with delicious meals to enjoy.....like a good outing...
Best way to refresh ourselves before the new year.
Playing cricket for enjoyment. It doesn't have to be competition. Its all about having fun and the company with friends.
Exactly, at least meet all once in a year at one place without going anywhere.
That really sound like a good reunion.
Cricket is really popular in India. I wanted to try watching cricket someday. I am curious how it is.
That's so cool whenever you can get that many people together at the one event. It's underrated just how difficult it is to do that
Annual cricket tournament better for collaborates friends. Playing cricket so much fun to us. Without organized annual cricket since 2021 till now I couldn't play cricket match with my company friends. But you are lucky to play cricket game. Happiness and prosperous new year 2023 to you and beloved family.

I miss my friends from past and there are very few who are in touch now.
It is not impossible to take our time out from the busy life.
I just saw a live example.
