I particularly liked the tug of war photos depicting the clean fun and positive energy experienced by participants. Rolling in muddy slush is a therapeutic. keep it going a few times in a year.

HEMPHIL, you do write good at times! I really appreciate this one! When everyone is enjoying, why we need to think about the road of approach? Yes, we need to address it but in a different platform!! I must agree this kind of pure fun need to be spared/excluded from any kind of criticism!

"Kai kesaradare bayi mosaru" - thus goes the saying. By introducing this new generation to this kind of sports they may be an initiation to "dirty their hands" and produce what we need to eat daily. "Sports uniforms" we were used to wear during these kind of games like "kambala" etc. some fofty years back are not the ones I see in these pictures! Anyway, "kalok thaka kola kattod" thule. Keep it up!
