My first love for the game of baseball came when I was a young boy‚ maybe around the age 5 or 6. There was just something different about this game and sport; the smell of the grass being mowed‚ the smell of fresh dirt being raked throughout the park‚ and last‚ but not least the char of fresh hamburgers and hot dogs coming off the grill.

How many people have the good fortune to travel by plane? I was one of the fortunate few. My first flight in the air was the most exciting experience in my life. I was travelling from Delhi to London by air. I entered the aeroplane in the morning. It was like getting into a car or bus but the noise of the machine made us feel that it was different.

It was Tuesday the first of September when I started secondary school at St. Patrick’s College. As the eldest in my family I had no one to answer any of my worries or fears before I walked through the large iron gates on such a huge day in my life. I could hardly get to sleep the night before because I was so nervous and excited at the same time.

n High School‚ college seemed to be the scariest thing that I could think of. Whenever I thought about it my stomach would immediately begin to spin in circles. Although I was ready to go off and be by myself and meet new people I was scared to death at the same time.
