In the quiet town of Varnapura, nestled between sunlit hills and whispering trees, stood a modest school. Its pride was not a glittering trophy case or a record of victories, but a dusty playfield. Every afternoon, the ground came alive balls soared, laughter echoed, and even the shyest children found courage in games.
The Boy Who Believed in Numbers
Among them was Arjun, a boy who loved equations more than exercises. To him, sports were inefficient, irrational, even a waste of time.
example Cricket :-
“Why run around to catch a ball Only to Throw it away ?”
He asked Mira...
Her reply was simple, almost playful:
“Because it gives infinite benefits, silly.”
Arjun shook his head. “Nothing ! its all Nonsense.”
Mira tapped her temple, then her heart. “Try once. ANY GAME - You’ll see.”
When Logic Meets Play
Reluctantly, Arjun joined a football game. At first, he calculated each pass like a problem. But soon, numbers dissolved into motion. He stumbled, missed, and failed to score. Yet by the end, he felt victorious in a way math had never taught him. That night, he slept deeply. The next day, his studies flew two hours where once he had slogged through four.
When he told Mira, she laughed:
“∞ + 1 = ∞. ∞ – 1 = ∞. You played. That’s enough.”
More Than Winning
The teachers noticed. Students became sharper, calmer, healthier. At assembly, the principal reminded them with a forgotten quote by Baron de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympics:
“The important thing in sports is not winning but taking part.
The essential thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.”
The words sank like seeds. That field became more than soil .it became a sanctuary.
Infinite Benefits
From football to simple runs, students found:
-
Good appetite
-
Better physique
-
Freshness of mind
-
Sportsmanship and teamwork
-
Sharper learning power
-
Joy multiplied endlessly
Because here, they discovered a truth Arjun now knew by heart:
