U-13 DELHI DYNAMOS YOUTH CHAMPIONS CUP

At a pleasant morning, 7 players from our team, Gurgaon Gladiators set off to Ghitorni to a farmhouse sports center, where we would be participating in our second tournament the previous one which we were victors of. Now this would be more challenging, after this being U-13, and players from Delhi were also set to participate, and suddenly the competition had just stiffened. We saw the players arrive, and they looked much taller and stronger than us, and from that moment, we knew we were infor a tough fight this time. The first opponent we beat 2-0, and we dominated throughout with two goals from me and we owned with great plays and we split holes in their defence, but the keeper just held them in the game. Next, we had a team that was quite bigger than us, and it was an arduous match. We put all our efforts into it. We were 1 down for some time, but we equalised and were ecstatic that we held them to a draw. The next match was against a team that had a quant name called cheeseburgers, and it was another match where we had a draw, this time both sides with no goals. After the group stages, we were all biting our nails who qualified for the final. We did, and against cheeseburgers once again. Their keeper was a wall and highly skilled, as we could get a shot  past him. But our keeper was equally rock solid, with some astonishing diving saves and speedy reflexes. Again, it ended 0-0. But this time, it was down to penalties. Here's what happened. The opposition scored and we missed, they missed and so did we. Then they missed and it was my turn. I had to scored, or we had lost. The pressure was mad. At that moment, my heart was racing but I converted the spot-kick to keep us in the game. Now it was time for Sudden Death. Our keeper saved it, and it was his chance for the penalty. If he scored, we would have won our second tournament as Gurgaon Gladiators. And luckily we did. He hammered it past the goalie, and we burst into joy. We got handed out our prizes, and we had been crowned champions once again. And we were even more over the moon, after all it was under-13 and our team was fully 11. Man, what a tiring day. But it was worth it, as the second trophy was handed to us

TOP 5 YOUNG PLAYERS(UNDER 23)

Paul Pogba- In my opinion, the best young player in the world. The Juventus midfielder is an absolute master in Juventus' first team. One of the best cm's in the world right now, the Frenchman is proving his worth with his rocket shots, his tricks, and his vision and play for the game. He also recieved the award of best young player in the World Cup, and has earned himself a spot in the FifPro World XI with his astonishing performance. He could go on to be one of the greats. He is an absolute top-class player and has so much potential aged just 23.

Hector Bellerin- The right back from Arsenal is doing a brilliant job for the Gunners, replacing Debuchy for the first choice right back in Arsenal. His blistering pace, which has made him one of the fastest players in the world and his great defending skills came in handy for the London Club this season. The Spaniard has pulled off some unbelievable runs and has pinpoint crosses. At just 21, Bellerin could go on to be the best fullback in the BPL.

Paulo Dybala- Another Juventus player, Dybala is a clinical striker, and is owning in the Serie A this season. The Argentine started off at Palermo and is a great forward in Juventus helping them to be first in the title race. Due to his creative style of play, pace, talent, technique, and eye for goal, he has been nicknamed La Joya (The Jewel, in Spanish). Dybala is only 22, and is a young talent.

Raphael Varane- The Real Madrid centre-back is a rock in defence, and his take-ons are vital in the games of Real. Also playing for the France national team, he is quite tall and his pace is brilliant for a defender. A bit more game time with Real could prove him to be one of the best defenders in Europe.

He is just 22.

Marco Veratti- Aged 23, the Paris Saint Germain midfielder is a hard working and creative playmaker in the Ligue 1, and has made his spot in the team with his passes and dribbling. He will also participate in Euro 2016 for Italy. He has won 4 consecutive league titles with PSG, and he will look to do it again.

THE TOP THREE PLAYERS IN BPL THIS SEASON

(Not in order)

1-Riyad Mahrez

The knees of Prem defenders tremble at the pure sight of the Algerian winger these days. Mahrez has guided Leicester City to the top spot this season with his bamboozling skills, his pace and his thunderous shooting. Mahrez has been smashing the BPL with some sick goals, and has gotten a +3 upgrade to his card on FIFA 16, which he desereves. The 25-year old has 16 goals this season, making him the 5th top scorer. In every match, he shines with his skills, passing and shooting.

2-Jamie Vardy

Another player from Leicester who has made them the best team in BPL this season is Jamie Vardy. He's had an impressive career, from being a factory worker to a striker busting nets and record books in the premier league. He scored a goal in 11 consecutive games, earning him a Guiness world record, and also the 2nd top goalscoring position right now. Who knows how many shots of his might find themselves in the back of the net. He has also gotten a +3 upgrade on FIFA 16. Jamie Vardy's having a party 
He has great intensity, great concentration. He's got a strong mentality and never gives up. He's an inspiration with the way he is because then others believe.-Claudio Raneri

3-Mesut Özil
The Gunners' central attacking midfielder has proved his 42.5 million worth this season with his top number of assists. Özil is the top assister this season, with a staggering 18 assists and is on course to break the record of 20 set by Thierry Henry and also holds 5 goals. He shells out inch-perfect passes with his splendid dribbling which makes him the maestro and playmaker of the game. His footy brain looks for spaces and thru-balls, and they are completed perfectly. What a season he's enjoying. The world cup winner has made Arsenal stay strong this season.

Of course, lots of other players have been great this season such as Delle Ali, Harry Kane, Dimitri Payet, Martial, Rashford, Lukaku and lots more , but these three are my favourites

CAMP ANUBHAV||Camping in Mashobra

I was going for our school's annual adventure camps, and this time it was a long expedition right into the heart of a splendid hillstation, known as Mashobra near Shimla. We set off in Gurgaon in the early morning, just before the sunrise. After some time and a hearty meal and McDonalds, we found ourselves up on the hill, and I couldn't describe the picturesque beauty of the hills and natural features in India. After a tiring 12 hour journey, we trekked down the rocky mountains into the midst ofan apple   orchard, which was where our campsite was present. Tall green trees borderes the site with openings with stunning landscape. What a great time I would have! Though, funny story. I packed light and only a few warm clothes, and when I reached there, it was chillingly frigid, with temperatures going down to about 1c. I underestimated Mashobra clearly, but after layering myself, it was all good again. After some rest and a bonfire to spread some heat, we slept with stories and jokes, and it was extremely cold in the cottages too. Next morning, we got up for some activities. After cookies and warm milk, we were in line for some tightrope walking using vines as our support. After the rope climbing and breakfats, we made our way into the vast expanse of the lush forest, with plants and sparkling flowers all around. What a breath-taking image. The scenery consisted of snow-capped mountains, which looked stupemdous. At 2035 feet, we were here to zipline, and what an enjoyable activity it was. Rocks and canals finished the scenery, and I was spellbound by the exquisite nature surrounding us. After energisers and meals, we wanderes out into the woods agin, this time for a night trek with torches and the instructor showed us a temple in the middle of nowhere where the Pandavs in the last year of Mahabharta resided. Next day was a great one, but a chilly one too. In the morning, we leanrt how pitch a tent in the forest, and that day the forest was full of dew, and looked like paradise with the luxuriant greenery. After breakfast, at noon we did rappoing, as we went down the cliff with a rope. In the evening, we played some games, watched a documentary, and had a DJ night, as the rain ouside frosted the weather. What a blast I had at Camp Anubhav. Hats off to the instructors, the food was scrumptious, and overall it was just fantafabulous. I also learnt survival skills, and other techniques handy in hilly areas, animals and their attacks, and how to be safe in a dangerous area like this. So a shoutout to Rocksport, for a great camp time and a great place to put in a campsite, full with breath-taking natural features!

WILD WADI

Wild Wadi is a stupendous waterpark located in Jumeira, Dubai. It's an enormous waterpark, filled with splendid pools, frightening slides, and the amusement of surfing. The rapids take us across on a complete journey of the waterpark, and we sit in a tube. It's quite enjoyable, but it's not the extreme. There are some great parts like the blacked-out tunnel of doom, some cool slides. After every ride, we relaxed again, by sitting in the warm wave pool, which repelled the rushing winds, and using a life jacket we closed our eyes and floated, without a care in the world, soothing our whole body. Surfing was quite a good one, as we held onto the board tightly, not letting the forceful water get the better of us. There was a children's play area but was nothing at all when it comes to something I'll tell you about in a while. Next was the Burj Surj, quite a tall ride in which we sat in large tube and went down, and the slide was great fun. But not as enthralling as the Tantrum alley, in which we rapidly shot out and were in a frenzy of our tube going up, down, left and right, and some parts were open, in which we could spot the rich part of Dubai, with sick cars, with mad modification. But we couldn't make out everything, as the right was quite swift and water was spraying all around the slide. Now it's time for the ultimate. JUMEIRAH SCEIRAH. Jumeirah Sceirah is what puts the wild in the Wild Wadi. One of the tallest slides in the world, standing at 105 feet, I set out to do it. We rushed up the stairs, taking two stairs at once, and only pause when we looked at the wonder of modern top-notch architecture, Burj Al Arab, and the navy blue marine, which gently were landing on the sand. Anyways, we ran up, and saw that many people were backing off as they were terrified, looking at the angle and the extremity of the slide. Such nerve-wracking adventures weren't in their mentality. I got locked in a a capsule, as it said 3...2..1 in a robotic voice, and I went whirling down in a  blood-curdling slide at a blistering 85 km/ph. It took me a while to figure what had just happened, and after that experience, I was ready for another one, and did try it again. So ladies and gentlemen, you just gotta go to this waterpark if you're visiting UAE.

MY 11th BIRTHDAY AT SMAASH, CYBER HUB

On the 19th of March, 2016 I turned 11 after a long wait. Two more years to hit teens. I celebrated it radically at a sublime and tech video game arcade, Smaash. This was literally heaven to me, absolutely packed with music, games, matches and food. As I step foot inside on my 11th birthday, I was sure it was gonna be an unforgettable day. Friends started rolling in, and we went bowling as our first activity, and the area was just so happening, as dubsteps blasted through my ears, and pizza and french fries snack just made the moment. All my friends, on a single day at a spectacular site. Drinks, striking those pins, just brilliant. Absolutely "smaashing". Then we had the whole place to ourselves, where we tried out combat and flight simulators, scoring against a robotic keeper, facing Ronaldo and trying to save his shots. And that's just a teeny bit of what the place consisted of. Racing and action games, roller coasters and apart from the arcade, there were sports screens, showing the latest matches, lots of absolutely lip-smacking treats. This place genuinely had it all. We also batted in cricket nets against professional bowlers. I have no space to describe the prodigious gamefest. After we cut my cake, which was a Real Madrid jersey with my name and age on it. Apart from it's staggering and unique looks, it was delectable as well. We resumed our game streak running all over the place, with dance games, air hockey, gliding and motorbike racing. You're probably thinking I'm hyperventilating and exaggerating over this place, but no kidding. It's actually modern-day heaven located in Cyber Hub, Gurgaon. The staff was helpful, the food was scrumptious, the games were addictive. I mean, what more can you ask for? What a blast I had on my birthday. Is it even possible to have more entertainment and recreation anywhere.
