Pitthu Gol_Garam

Let us reminiscence another interesting game played in streets and the grounds named “PITTHU GOL GARAM”. It was my favourite pastime during visit to cousins. The game is played between two teams and the number of players in the team is not constant as compared to other games like cricket and hockey.

Chess! The Brain Game

Chess 2

Chess is a brain game, a competition between two brains, a game that concludes with a very little physical effort from both of the players. They just need to move their hands while playing chess, but their brains are in full throw in thinking and making interesting and wonderful moves that how to beat his or her opponent. Although chess is not known as physical game and we all have the idea that the victory cannot be achieved easily in any type of game or sport that related to physical activity.
