Indoor
games and their importance
In this
world of adrenaline packed action and activities there's less room for indoor
games. The board games and more calm activities are often overlooked. In our fast-paced world, this is the trend with all things: books have been replaced by
audio books, movies have become shorter and even work is all about short-cuts.
No one seems to stop to look at the trees and flowers. The bees and birds no
longer have an audience. This is a great loss for the great human spirit.
But
even in this world where no one stops to give a second look to their fellow
beings, there is a way to get people around a table smiling, laughing, thinking
and talking - indoor games. Grab a chair and start with a game of cards, chess,
billiards, carrom and so much more. These games are beyond just physical effort
and involve tactics, strategy, patience etc. The true purpose of a game is
enjoyment in a social setting where wins and losses blend into memories of a
good time. No one remembers how they could beat a deadline but no one forgets
an intense game of snooker against your friend. The small pleasures of life are
what life is really all about and indoor games are a way to unwind and stop the
clock on our constantly ticking lives. There are many ways to enjoy indoor
sports much the fun and enjoyment are enhanced to another level when it is at a
resort or nature adventure camp. The difference in activity between an
adventure sport and indoor game only makes the latter even more enjoyable and
relaxing.
Chess
is an all-time favourite for people of all ages. It involves pieces on the
board that each move in a specific way. This makes the game one of the most
interesting and all-time classics that has been taken to a competitive level
internationally. It is particularly popular in India as well. Carroms is a
childhood favourite for everyone. Be it on a lazy Sunday afternoon or one of
the many adventure camps and resorts that offer carroms, its timeless charm and
group fun never seems to dwindle. There is table tennis which is slightly more
active but involves a lot of skill. Table tennis will have you jumping and
bouncing across the table to keep your opponent on their toes. It is highly
competitive and addictive on a holiday trip as well. There are innumerable
other games which are offered by the adventure resorts near Bangalore which
will take you into a time warp and make you feel young again.
