Its never been so frustrating!

About a year and a half that I have been studying in Mangalore and all I have been hungry for is - access to television so that I can follow whats making news in the field of sports. I have been so loaded with work that I don't even have time to update this blog. Was fortunate enough to get the time to add this post.

The strict hostel regulations allow me no time to even touch the remote-control of the television. And even if I get to do that, a fleet of students blabber something in Kannada and I understand that they want me to switch to a Kannada channel. That's my fate!

Frustrated enough, I have to rely on the newspapers for news. But somehow I prefer witnessing events by my own eyes rather than the next day's newspaper telling it to me. I have been missing on all the thrills that sports have to offer, be it football, cricket, tennis, F1, MotoGP. It makes me realize how handicapped I am without proper access to the television.

As a sports journalist I definitely want to know beyond whats making headlines. Without viewing sports matches, it is impossible for me to analyze and have my own opinion on various aspects of a particular sport.

I fear this will hamper my aspirations to pursue sports journalism. But I have been trying to at least follow up with sports updates from various social media and sports websites.

Ghosh! never been so frustrated. Hope things get better and the remaining six months of academics come to an immediate end.
