It was at GIDC (VCCI hall) and you, a yellow-belt then, were pitted against a much taller boy 2-levels higher (green-belt?). By the 3rd round it was clear to all that you stood no chance. Seeing the thrashing you were getting, I was about to blurt out that it was too much of a one-sided contest when the match-referee asked if you would like to quit. Totally shaken and with face bleeding, you declined and lasted through all the rounds (7?.. 9?). <br /><br />I also remember the times when I would ask the 6-8 years old you to run n-number of rounds around the house, or the ground in front of our house (3-4 times larger than what it is today) and you would ALWAYS complete the run irrespective of how fagged out you were!<br /><br />Proud of your determination. <br />DadSamish Makhijanoreply@blogger.com
