Sports have been a cornerstone in my life, shaping my discipline,
independence, and understanding of teamwork. As a Shitō-ryū karate brown belt
holder and a school baseball player, I learned the importance of effort without
expectation. I admire athletes like Sunil Chhetri, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli,
each teaching unique lessons. Bollywood films like "Bhaag Milkha
Bhaag" resonate deeply with me. The focus and discipline from sports
mirror my career, where real success comes from true learning. Health is real
wealth, and everyone should prioritize physical activity.

Cricket was my first love, and watching football during the FIFA World
Cup was an entertaining experience. Eventually, I developed a keen interest in
watching tennis and played a lot of badminton, but due to time constraints, I'm
now unable to play badminton. Sports have always been crucial for my fitness,
and I believe staying fit is essential. My favorite sportsperson is Mahendra
Singh Dhoni, who inspires me with his calm demeanor, discipline, and
leadership. Chak De! India is my favorite sports-themed film. I believe
everyone, regardless of age, should engage in sports for the positive energy
and focus it brings.

Everything I am today is because of cricket. It taught me patience,
perseverance, endurance, discipline, and self-belief. I'm grateful for its
influence on my life. My idols are cricketer Virat Kohli and footballer
Cristiano Ronaldo, while Kobe Bryant’s thoughts also inspire me. Achieving
milestones requires a mindset that motivates me. Age doesn’t matter in
maintaining physical and mental balance—whether through gym workouts or sports.
I embrace both, and I love the journey they offer.

Sports taught me how important it is to stay fit and in shape. Not only
do your clothes fit better, but your body and mind work with efficiency. I have
learned discipline and that we have to do the same thing again and again to
attain perfection; there is no other mantra. Consistency over anything. My
favorite sportspeople are Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni. My father and I used to
watch cricket together. Dada taught me that you're not supposed to take
unnecessary attitude from people. Mahi, on the other hand, taught me that you must stay calm to make the best life decisions.

Sports have profoundly shaped my life, especially since I was always
average academically but thrived during sports periods in school. I eagerly
participated in kabaddi and volleyball, which significantly influenced my
character. While I respect many athletes, Virat Kohli and Neeraj Chopra stand
out as my favorites for their exceptional discipline and passion. Films like
"Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" and "Mary Kom" truly capture the
spirit of sports. Discipline in sports mirrors that in careers, as success
requires consistent effort. I believe sports should be a regular part of life
for overall well-being, fostering both mental and physical health.

I love watching football. It’s my favorite sport as a spectator. In the
past couple of years, though, I’ve somehow gotten involved in sports. I play a
bit of badminton and am learning to swim. Maybe I’ll give shooting a shot,
too. I recently discovered that I’m pretty decent at it. Maradona, Messi, and
Beckham are my favorite footballers. Sports are a more entertaining way of
staying fit. I enjoy playing badminton, even though I’m still learning the
nuances, and I enjoy swimming too. For those who aren’t into sports, I would
say that it’s never too late! Join something, play a bit, go to the playground,
and give it your best shot!

Sports have always been a central part of my life, given that both of my
parents were sports persons and I was the captain of my school’s sports teams.
I believe in a 50/50 balance between academics and sports. Engaging in sports
is essential; a gym simply cannot replace the benefits of playing a sport. For
those with concentration or attention issues, taking up a sport is highly
recommended. Whether it's a team sport or an individual one, both offer unique
benefits. Personally, I've never been a gym person. Despite its convenience and
structured environment, I prefer the dynamic nature of sports. As a child, I
played table tennis and badminton, and later, while working at Balaji, I took
up squash. I’m a huge fan of the movie Dangal and its soundtrack. Being from
the media industry myself, I appreciate how sports can be portrayed
entertainingly in film. Movies like Iqbal, Chak De! India and Lagaan have
shown how sports can be compelling and inspiring. Recently, at the age of 45, I
competed in my first national squash championship and reached the
quarter-finals. This experience has only fueled my desire to improve, engage
with more people, and deepen my understanding of the sport. My goal for the
next five years is to become the best I can be.
