Still Green in My mind Screen

Today (Saturday, 7the Feb) is a wonderful day because I got an opportunity to visit the All England Tennis Club Wimbledon. Though I am not a tennis fan it was a thrilling experience to visit the place which has laid the platform for great beginnings, which has witnessed the ecstasy of victory and pain of defeat, which has seen the dawn and dusk of great careers, which has got a great history. So felt like posting this article, which means a lot to me. Soon I am going to write about Wimbledon trip which made my day.

I was flipping through the TV channels, suddenly something caught my attention. It was 2003 Wimbledon final match, last few minutes of the game, the moment which brought tennis fans all over the world to the edge of the chair. Suddenly the man drops to his knees, his forehead touching the tennis racket held in his right hand! Then he arises and walks away from the court, sits in the courtside chair, put his hands to his face and then he starts to sob. He lifts the trophy awarded to him, he kisses the token of his accomplishment while trying to fight the welling tears, tears of joy, tears of attainment, tears of living up to the expectation of his Country, tears of relief! Uncontrollable emotions he sobs and sobs...To my surprise tears swelled in my eyes albeit I am unaware of the game and don't know this man who is living the greatest moment of his life! The only thing which made sense was - 'The Game was won, hinting and hoping Great things!' and the winner is 'Roger Federer'. The passion, the dedication, the perfection, the triumph which I saw on the TV screen had kept me in thrall for couple of minutes. The wonderful moment is still green in my heart! Whenever I hear the word ‘Wimbledon’, my mind replays the scene.
