South Asian passion

It is one of the probably longest lasting  and unknown sports for the majority of the western world !
And there are more or less  just two options ,either you are absolutely passionate about it ,
or you think it is a quite boring game really closely connected to baseball.

I mean it is a little bit uncommon  to have a tea or lunch break  in between a game and matches lasting
for a couple of days .

Something for the Ladies

Considering all the other Sports i wrote about so far ,except the last post about Beach-Volleyball
I realized that they ,to the majority, are more interesting for men as for women !
And because of that  i would like to dedicate this weeks post to a sport i guess most of the females are quite interested in.

Not just because i am really good at it ;-) !
No ! Because you can play it pretty much everywhere , at any time and
