Girls and Sports

[Nusha]

We are actually facing a great problem with the female youngsters of today. Who do girls don't engage themselves in physical activities right from the beginning of their adolescence or adulhood?

[Madhooree]

Thats true...one reason might be because of the lack of sports organisations reserved to girls..for example,almost everywhere there`s football clubs for boys n practically none for girls..

[Nusha]

You do have reason Madhooree. This is called prejudice. I know that many girls like aerobic dancing but we can hardly find suitable fitness centres for aerobics in Mauritius.

[Varun]

This topic sounds more like a debate. So, would you mind if I move it in the News & Hardtalk section?

[Nusha]

Ok Varun. Move it over there itself.

[Varun]

Done!

Moving onto the topic, I think your views are erroneous, girls. I've been practising lawn tennis in a public academy for almost 7-8 years and there have always been girls in my training groups.

Moreover, I've also been a regional table-tennis champion in the past and I've seen some muslim girls who typically live in orthodox and reserved environments crowned as female table-tennis champions.

Also, I've never heard any sports minister of our country stating that sports facilities are only meant for males.

I sincerely think that it's our religion and culture that is to be blamed for the lack of female presence in sports in Mauritius and indirectly, you yourselves are to be blamed for that, girls.

[Sneha]

Depi tipti, mo ti kontan zué badminton ek ena plusieurs sports ki mo ti anvi fer. Mo paran zamai ti lais moi sou le pretext ki mo pou gagne dimal, tou kalité dimounn pou ena laba ki pou pran l'avantage de mo innocence. Mo pa ti gagne droit dir enn mot contre sa, sinon mo gagne baté.

Mem a lekol, bann prof ti p soizir bann zanfan ki zot kontan et c zis sa banla ki pou pran par dan bann competition. Mo pansé pa zis moi, mai ena ankor zanfan kinn passe par la. Li vraimen decourageant pou zanfan la finalemen. Vu ke maintenant la mo nepli ena boukou letan ki mo kapav consacré a enn sport, mo regret kifer mo pann persisté avek mo paran mem si mo ti bisin lager avek zot.

[Nusha]

Wi Sneha a lekol ban prof bien fer discrimination kan ena pour avoye ban zeleve lor competition. Kan mo ti dan Form 4, mo ti tombe malade. Docteur ti conseil moi fer ban activités physiques. Lerla mo ti commence par sotte la corde. Epuis apres mn join mo papa dan jogging. Li ti mem montrer moi fer imper body building tou. Mais mo pa tro fer sa sinon li pour ale affecter mo natation.

Maintenant mo encourage ban kamarade fer sports.

[Sneha]

Kot moi, mo paran ti p ancouraz moi fer l'exercis, pa spor. Sa osi, l'exercis ki zot anvi ki mo ti sipozé fer. Par examp: mont montagne, marsé avek zot gramatin dan la plenn/lamer/réduit. B li ti chiant ena foi parski kan mo tianvi fer kitsoz, mo pa ti p kapav fer.

Selman dan lekol primer, kot mo paran pa tiena control, mo ti p defoul moi a fond pandan récré. Galoup isi-laba avek bann kamarad kan p zué koukasyet, etc. Dan form 1 ek form 2, mo ti p zué volleyball, football, badminton mai apré monn perdi lintéré dan sa bann zafer la parski bann prof pa ti p lais nimport kisanla zué. Zis bann ceki pu pran par dan bann competition, mem dan ler récré.

Ariv form 5, nou ti bien abitié ek zot tou, alor bann form 5 ti pial zué koukasyet ek bann form 1. Sa ti enn fun!

H.S.C noune vinn tro gran, alor sakenn pou assizer ek fer palab. Morsi monn aret galoup isi-laba. Collez c enn zafer memorab. Apré sa kot gagne letan fer sport? Osi, mo lasanté pa tro korek c dernier temps alor pa pou kapav vu ke dokter nek dir moi repozé pou mo rétablir.

[Nusha]

Wi Sneha to ena raison. Collez C 1 zafer memorable. En HSC, mo ti p kappe klass P.E pour ale fer palab dan library. Zis kan ti ena pour ale piscine, nu ti present. Epuis kan ti ena sportsday, pli grand sportif ki nu pa ti ena; 1 la zourner nu ti lor terrain (zis pour pa rente dan klasse).

Mais 1 zafer mo pa tro dakor. 3/4 tifi fer sports ek 1 sel objectif en tete - pour maigri. Mo pa tro comprend kifer zt pa fer sa comme 1 hobby ou 1 passion?

[Sneha]

Li vrai ceki twé dir Nusha. Mo pansé akoz pena enn ancouragement totale pou bann tifi fer sport a moris. La plipar paran pa lé zot tifi al fer sport parski zot pansé pena l'avenir ladan. Zot prefer fer zot zanfan develop enn l'amour pou bann lezots zafers ki sport.

Mo donn toi mo lexamp mem. Kan mo ti pianvi al fer natation apré lekol, mo paran ti p dir ki mo pou gagne mové frekentation laba ek mo pa pou ena letan pou aprann. Fodé mantalité bann paran la osi sanzé...

[Nusha]

Mo croire mo pour bizin fer 1 bon morale ek sa ban kaliter parents la, Sneha. By the way, pena movais frekentation dan ban classe de natation. Au contraire to gagne pour socialise plus. Mo mem mo ena kamarade Pandit, docteur, entre autres ki plus ager ki mo papa dan mo klasse natation. Gagne pour apprend 1 tas zafer ek zt.

[Sneha]

Preche morale ek mo paran ou fer zot sanz zot manyer? Huh...

Mo paran pou dir twé fer rebel, to enn mové tifi, to lespri tro zanfan ou to rampli de negativité.

[Jeet]

bez sa, kifer bann parents penser tifi bizin pren plis precaution akoz bannla pa kuma garson dow?? sa c'est la question!

by the way nush, a n'importe ki lage to kav but li depand lor to will, l'année derniere si mo pa tromP, 1 ti lékip nu ti al ress kot prithvi et nu ine jouer cou cachiette including varun! penC varun pa koner ki lage ladan li p jouer ek nu! so seki mo penser, c'est ke, it all depends on one's will to play even in the "old age".

[Varun]

Hey come on, I'm only 27...

[Nusha]

Sneha, to parent la imP difficile ein.

Jeet, moi mo enkor jouer hide n seek ek mo bn ti voisin et cuz. Tou ban zafer ceki mo bn freres fer, moi aussi mo fer. Mo pna aucun restrictions. Peut etre la coz mn vivre dan lentourage garsons ki mo koumsa.

[akheel]

Mais 1 zafer mo pa tro dakor. 3/4 tifi fer sports ek 1 sel objectif en tete - pour maigri. Mo pa tro comprend kifer zt pa fer sa comme 1 hobby ou 1 passion?

lacoz 3/4 ban tifi la complexer!!mem si zot pa grosses si zot plaigner em!com koi tou dimoun env ggne en taille mankin!

[Karishma]

Nowadays, many girls/women are very much indulged in sports activities, may it be as a hobby or even as a profession, which is in fact a matter of great pride for the female world

Personally, I love sports.....huhu...Nusha to konner toi
but the problem is that with exams and so on, i hardly have any time to engage myself in sports activities

[Madhooree]

Akheelesh,its true..many girls are crazy to be as thin as possible even though their health is at risk.However,many choose dieting rather than getting engaged in sports to have a good figure..
They think that eating less is the only solution or even taking all sorts of products to reduce their weight.
Consequently they lack physical fitness and are more likely to be victims of many health problems.
I think these girls should be more encouraged to practice sports and indeed,parents play a pivotal role in this.
Also,there should be restrictions on the products for losing weight on the market because they are very alluring specially to those who are desperate to lose weight as quick as possible.Then only,maybe,the girls would find interest in sports activities to lose weight.

[Nusha]

Wii Karishma, dan nu korom tomem ki pli grand sportif. Dan Form 1 mem to ti fini kasse record toi

Madhooree..You have the point. With innovation, people are substituting physical exercises with weight-losing products at the cost of their health. It's all because they are career-oriented and don't have time to engage in 'unfruitful' activities.

[Sneha]

Sa bann produits pou megri la c bann zafers purement commercial amoins ki al dan enn farmasi.

Mem sa, mo demann moi si bann farmasien osi pa p zis vann zot produit ek guet zot profit dan plas guet dimounn la so lasanté?

[Varun]

These things are sold at very high prices and I doubt they are efficient. Has anybody tried one of these here?

[Vishaan]

[Varun]

It's all because they are career-oriented and don't have time to engage in 'unfruitful' activities.

I would add Facebook-oriented along with career-oriented.

[Vishaan]

Exak Varun.

[Shameek]

[Varun]

Zot pou control boul ou swa zoranz?

You didn't precise which ball(s).

[Kavi]

HAHAHAHAHAH LOL
Varun there are 'kids' on this website...

I'm for both the 'zoranz in bra' and play football with gurls

[Nusha]

It'll be better if you remain like you are and then you participate in the match

[Varun]

In that particular case, Nusha, I'm sorry to say that it'll be a no-match.

[Kavi]

Jaw
A single tackle on varun and you gurls gonna win the match.. trust me.. i know what i'm saying

Pa vrai vayun??

[Varun]

Fuck you!

[Sneha]

To cousin mem p coul toi...

[Jeet]

xD, am afraid i have to agree with kavi varun! it does happen in life!

[Shanu]

Varun, why do these guys think that you are so weak in playing football? a single tackle and you are done. LOL! Come on tell them that you have been practising lawn tennis which is harder than playing football and very rarely you have landed with injuries!

[Jeet]

lawn tennis la komien letemps li durer sa ein??
si li pa ti fragile, i guess li ti pu kav al galouP ek fer l'exercise par li mem dow!! tro paress sa dimoune la!

[Sneha]

Sa kantiter li bisin galouper pou vinn travay depi Plenn des Ros ziska Kat Born gramatin la mem aser kom l'exercis pou li.

Revenons a nos moutons. Depi kelke tan mo p constater ki plis tifi pial fer la danse, aerobic, karate au lieu de badminton, natation, cyclisme, lawn tennis ki demann plus d'effort physique.

[Nusha]

Wi to ena raison Sneha. Surtout kan mo ale la mer ki mo remarquer ki la plupart ban fille p assiz emba pied filao ou zt p construire sand chateau ek du sable. Mo penser zt gagne peur pou bronzer coz samem zt resse loin ek natation

[Varun]

Jaw

Pa vrai vayun??

xD, am afraid i have to agree with kavi varun! it does happen in life!

Some people love NOt to play the ball and only focus on late tackles because that's what they are best at.

Varun, why do these guys think that you are so weak in playing football? a single tackle and you are done. LOL! Come on tell them that you have been practising lawn tennis which is harder than playing football and very rarely you have landed with injuries!

lawn tennis la komien letemps li durer sa ein??
si li pa ti fragile, i guess li ti pu kav al galouP ek fer l'exercise par li mem dow!! tro paress sa dimoune la!

In simple words, lawn tennis is harder than most of the sports that some of you practise; football, badminton, basketball, etc. I used to train 3 times a week on the lawn-tennis court for 3-4 hours under the burning sun and I had to jog about 10 kilometres 3 times a week along with one hour of vigorous physical exercises to keep myself fit, strong and consistent.

By the way, what happened for the football match between girls and boys (with oranges in the bra)?

[Sneha]

It's still on. We're waiting you, boys, to give us a date.

[Shanu]

Varun said, "In simple words, lawn tennis is harder than most of the sports that some of you practise; football, badminton, basketball, etc. I used to train 3 times a week on the lawn-tennis court for 3-4 hours under the burning sun and I had to jog about 10 kilometres 3 times a week along with one hour of vigorous physical exercises to keep myself fit, strong and consistent."

I agree that lawn tennis is harder than most of the sports than some of us do practise. But this does not change the fact that you have become very lazy much before you even started working. We have eye witnesses here
And we also know that you are very sensible physically, in other word 'fragile'
Sometimes, i used to ask myself whether you really trained this much a week? I'm sure many ask themselves this question just like me hehe!

[Varun]

What are you talking about? You live tens of kilometres away from my place and we have RARELY met during the last couple of years. So, from what sources have you gathered information to bring up such an absurd judgement? Who are those eye witnesses you're talking about? Your pathetic judgement is making me laugh!

And we also know that you are very sensible physically, in other word 'fragile'
Sometimes, i used to ask myself whether you really trained this much a week? I'm sure many ask themselves this question just like me hehe!

Once again, who are those "we" you're referring to? I'm very amazed at how can you jump to such ridiculous conclusions. I'm very much tempted to say that you've gone nuts. Or, is it that you just wanted to vent out some frustrations?

Training hard, being strong and keeping fit don't equate to have a gross body like a body builder. A footballer can run up to 10 kilometres in a 90-minute match and tackle hard every 5-10 minutes (if allowed by the referee) but a body builder won't be able to do it just like the footballer won't be able to lift a 50-kg object as easily as the body builder would do it.

One clearcut example of what I mean is Ryan Giggs. He is a living legend and has played 876 matches to date (only for Manchester United). Yet, he has always been proned to injuries and knocks. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't train hard, isn't strong or doesn't work to keep himself fit.

Also, I don't know what your definition of laziness is but I don't wake up at noon and lose my time in futile things. If I'm unable to continue practising a sport or two, that doesn't mean I'm lazy as my time is invested in other important things like my work, etc. I have to earn my living after all.

That said, you're free to ask yourself questions but may be you should look for other ways to do it before making a joke out of yourself.

Now, I have a question. Why is it that you're most of the time

Shanu, I have replied your previous question because I knew you would come up with something like this. Anyway, before ending this irrelevant bit of discussion, allow me to invite you to learn how to quote and multi-quote.

[Shanu]

What are you talking about? You live tens of kilometres away from my place and we have RARELY met during the last couple of years. So, from what sources have you gathered information to bring up such an absurd judgement? Who are those eye witnesses you're talking about? Your pathetic judgement is making me laugh!

Dude, its seems you have taken it a bit too seriously! lol..
Ok, what am i talking about, huh? I'm just telling you things which i have witnessed with my own eyes! I say what i saw, dats all! You are talking about living tens of kilometres away and we RARELY met during the last of years! Since when did this matter for us? I have known you personally, i am among the few persons who are close to you(but not like we used to be)! Remember i used to stay with you on the telephone call for several minutes, also chatting with you whenever i used to see you online or simply come to dadi's place to spend my holidays. And you are talking about we RARELY met during the last couple of years? What couple of years are you talking about? I was talking about the time when you were still studying and not working! This takes us only to some 3 to 4 years back, not more! And you are telling me from what sources i gathered such information to bring absurd judgement? Lol... Remember we used to be just more than more brothers!

Once again, who are those "we" you're referring to? I'm very amazed at how can you jump to such ridiculous conclusions. I'm very much tempted to say that you've gone nuts. Or, is it that you just wanted to vent out some frustrations?

You really want to know who are those i'm referring to? Lol... As if you have forgotten your kins. I have not gone nuts and neither i'm venting my frustrations out! Amazing you know, you think i'm frustrated! lol!

Training hard, being strong and keeping fit don't equate to have a gross body like a body builder. A footballer can run up to 10 kilometres in a 90-minute match and tackle hard every 5-10 minutes (if allowed by the referee) but a body builder won't be able to do it just like the footballer won't be able to lift a 50-kg object as easily as the body builder would do it.

I never mentioned anywhere that training hard means only having a gross body like a body builder. Should i assume that this is a personal attack you made upon me? lol.. Of course it is! Afterall i know your character brother! "Donne calot indirectement" Its all you!! Nevermind, i'm not hurted!

One clearcut example of what I mean is Ryan Giggs. He is a living legend and has played 876 matches to date (only for Manchester United). Yet, he has always been proned to injuries and knocks. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't train hard, isn't strong or doesn't work to keep himself fit.

You are talking about Ryan Giggs? Oh come on... He is a professional football player, man! He has to train very hard, if not he would be subject to seat on the bench rather than playing. It's all about his career! And also he is paid good money to do keep his standard at high!

Also, I don't know what your definition of laziness is but I don't wake up at noon and lose my time in futile things. If I'm unable to continue practising a sport or two, that doesn't mean I'm lazy as my time is invested in other important things like my work, etc. I have to earn my living after all.

Man man man... Should i consider this as a second personal attack you made upon me about the wake up at noon and lose my time in futile things? Since you started it, lets proceed My definition of laziness concerning you is way simple. See, i don't know if you still remember but let me refresh your mind! Was it not you who used to wake up at noon much before i started doing so? "La boue p rire la mare!" ena bezer ar tw la bhai!
But hey can i know what made you think i wasted my time in futile things? Anyway I dont feel that I waste my time. If you adressing to somebody else, then I dont think that should be a problem for you if he/she is wasting time. Its his/her life. They do what they want. Does it affect you seeing anyone wasting time?

That said, you're free to ask yourself questions but may be you should look for other ways to do it before making a joke out of yourself.

If saying what you thought about what you saw is called making joke of yourself, fine i'll stop...

Now, I have a question. Why is it that you're most of the time

Really? Really is this so?

Now i tell you what, Varun! You always keep telling us guys to participate in your forum but when we do so and that something doesn't really please you, you just pick harshly on this someone! You are the main administrator of this forum, and i think your role is to better explain to this someone in a more diplomatic, convenient and polite way when he/she does or say something which is not good!

[Prithvi]

This is a debate, boy, don't go irrelevent by hitting on nonsensical facts.
This is no war zone that there will be constant attack anyway!

Let me remind you that this topic was mostly addressed to the girls, i'm amased as to how Varun has been dragged in this mess!

Concerning Ryan Giggs, he's a professional football player, so he's obliged to do these training! That's his job. However it's not Varun's forte, he is a computer engineer and also neither can he allow himself for such activities.

[Kavi]

This is called going off topic -.-'

Gurls help us

[Prithvi]

Rightly said kavi, this is complete OFF TOPIC!
