To me IGL is the most ‘Bhaari’ platform in the field of competing. I’ve been participating in this since two consecutive years and I’ve not only had fun but also re-learnt few things in a better way.
Understanding younger gymnasts, motivating them and being considerate throughout so that my ‘team’ gave a 100 percent, is something gymnasts don’t usually get to experience as our sport is an individual sport.
I got exposed to new people, new rules and a new atmosphere which overall gave me a different outlook to gymnastics. The ‘stick bonus’ factor at IGL had such an impact on me that I actually went back to training, and tried my best to give fix landings wherever possible.
I was the team leader for the Joshile Jumpers and this helped me rediscover my leadership side. Understanding younger gymnasts, motivating them and being considerate throughout so that my ‘team’ gave a 100 percent, is something gymnasts don’t usually get to experience as our sport is an individual sport.
It was a beautiful experience, a complete mixture of thrill, happiness and enjoyment.
And lastly, all I wish for is: ‘IGL ऐसे ही बढ़ते रहे, और ऐसे ही चलते रहे’
