There was a lake with the grassland behind my house we used to play in that grassland, flying kites, playing cricket, playing killithattdu, cycling,picking lilies from the lake and watching different types of birds & fishes. It was a playtime with nature. Now the grassland was gone, new houses were built in that space and we lost our playground:(. It was the golden days, Thanks for bringing back those memories.Quote:

This game seems to be fun. Looks like Kabadi a bit. There is also a local game in India called Kho-kho which I played in my school days. Except that needs 9 players in each team.Quote:
