The Secret Report of Greenfield
The first shot went like a flash of light and hit on the fence. The second one was as well. So, in two balls they were twelve.
Akram crushed his head and thought of what next! Need to kill.
At times this happens when everything goes wrong with you. Standing on the run up, he scratched green grass. With a smooth run he can deliver a sweeter Yorker, he swung and saw the ball again outside the mid-on.
The game Nikhil was watching on YouTube. It’s Sachin Vs Akram. Rarely, you see Sachin wins against Akram. A few hours back he was watching Mike Tyson Vs Hollyfield. The cruelty associated in this game is killing, and when you see Mohhammed Ali, you notice intelligence. The reason to utter – I am the Greatest is clearly visible through his game plan. He learns a lot from their game play. Their strategy, their moves, and their body language.
The reason to be the winner is visible. Nikhil, the SAI coach analyses their moves, inspires himself and repeatedly asks – Why? What?
When he sees Asian Games performance in a 140 crore population, he feels immense pain in his heart. Since childhood he wanted to become a sportsperson and gradually moved to coaching after retiring from hockey. The glorified days of Indian hockey has gone,and now a days government is willing to put effort in a few sports. Though parent and students performances are not satisfactory compared to international performers. He was going through the book of Usain Bolt, and Flo Zoe….
The confidence, the hunger for success are the reflection of their Nation’s in built force which was not achieved in a day. After 75 Years of independence we are not successful in international arena except in 1960’s. The reason unknown. So he was assigned to send a secret report to a team built with no biasness.
An old song floats in my memory…
“Withering out is hard to believe
The flower blossoms is true
It’s we who keep in within
The precious jewels within…”

Nikhil stands up. He needs a break with a hot coffee and his favourite Marlboro Lite. He does this secretly in his private space. In younger days he used to ignite a pack, and now a pack too.
The time I thought we are safe we faced the trouble. Its pain in stomach and next, as usually what you can expect.
Nikhil Sir was nearby. Standing on the board, he looked at us. His chair is still empty. He was asking the reason of stopping the session.
We remained silent.
Shouting after us he yelled – You idiots! Push yourself to push your willpower.
We had fear of him but we keep deeper respect for his abilities. He understands us better than us.
He dropped in the court.
See we have this, showing his body he expressed but we have more this, and he showed his brain. We need to apply our brain to remove tiredness from our body. Its simple as we enjoy coffee or movie.
Our body basics differ from US, Africa or European Union. We have only one advantage that we know how to sustain on starvation. Believe me… we can do more in starvation. Even a handful amount of Rice and Dal can replace a lot of food nutrients. Though scientific methods are required to enhance skills since childhood and this is the trouble in our country. We are surrounded with a lot of complex social structure when all bindings are there to create hindrances.
Putting a pause on my speech so that you can focus on your practice. Go and have food in the dining and come back in 10 minutes. We will re-join in the indoor court.
In front of the table tennis table a bundle of skipping is kept. Nikhil is checking his stopwatch. He uses an old 1903 model clock for this purpose. He figured out a girl and a boy for international arena. They are good but not their best. All of them are from affluent background. He was checking their backgrounds. Their grandparent and their forefathers. Nikhil’s ideology is simple – with a good sound physical and financial structure you can win on anything. When he goes back to his early young hood, he recalls his grandparents talks, their discussion and their ethics. In his time, he was fantastic in table tennis but chose hockey as profession. People like Dhyan Chand, Gurpreet Singh, Dhanraj Pilley were his inspiration. He once met Milkha Singh personally, and he smiled to boost my energy. He uttered softly, its within Nikhil, you need to push yourself. Hockey is a team game, but individual skills are important to prove your flair. The presence that he showed are still in my within.
Sir... the word disconnected my thoughts.
They started doing skipping, at a stretch 3000 in 30 minutes. Next, game practice one on one. Next, physical exercise, and at last an audio visual session on biomechanics and rhythm.

Chapter 2

Nikhil fixed them into certain assignments and their job was to deliver without questioning. It's belief, belief on the Coach Sir.
The day ends with a visual analysis of Flo Joe. Here Nikhil is an analyst. His speeches begin with stretching of her before starting zone.
He starts with emotion - Biomechanics, Bioelectricity generation, Bio flexibility,
Bio density of body, Body mass Index, Body weight compared to number of brain neuron existence, Convoluted reflex, Scientific food based on biorhythm, Scientific practice under a set of coach with various field knowledge, Withering skills enhancement with time, Fight and flight reflexes are the subjects.
In the end he speaks lightly - In depth details required with chart to bring the performance into a standard for international sports. A few games are there which require simply patience and brain stability with a different level of will power, but these games cannot be treated same as Sprint, High Jump, Long Jump, Heptathlon, Discuss, and Marathon.
We Indians have more stamina and endurance due to poverty and even we can say we live with contaminated water. So, seeing these and observing these we can conclude for Indians to get easier success in International Arena – marathon and similar kind of sports are necessary to excel.
The other factor which we rarely consider, keeping them out of the world to bring joy in their life so that they can become successful without even thinking about their future problems.
Why do we need to learn these for Table Tennis players. Did I ever show you their performance? No, there must be certain logic behind. I believe you have a good chance to be a best in the long run. Do you think so? Raise your hands.
Only one hand was up and Nikhil smiled at self. The talk has started working. Only need to spread the disease of winning habit within a few. He says - This is all for the day. Tomorrow at 5 am. No pre-thoughts, no family burden, no love with fellow sports stars!
They were about to leave and Nikhil uttered - I need one more task to be done. Whatever words I have used during this speech, google all those at night.

Chapter 3

Annie at night was looking at her notes. She is stuck with a word - convoluted reflex. She googles and the meaning she gets - extremely difficult to understand or follow the reflex. So she turns another page, where she gets various vertebral column and it's relating reflexes. Annie is not happy with this, she needs something extraordinary. Turns to a page finally where a doctor said - biomechanics and bioelectricity generations are some extent working agent or catalyst to achieve convoluted reflex.
She decides to stop here, and want to reveal this in front of Nikhil Sir. But in a different way. You can assume as this is an infatuation but Annie is helpless. She needs to prove to her society! Sounding strange, isn't it?
Next morning before Anni enters she noticed an underlined word on the board - Auspicious gesture!
She didn't get the meaning but Nikhil has no interest to explain. Their first assignment is to round a ten lap on the ground. After a tired body, withering away from you all energies you need to start skipping and finally to allow self to be with table tennis racket.
After three hours of continuous effort Annie got a chance to speak to Nikhil Sir. And he says - your biostructures reflections in purest state are literally known as Auspicious gesture where your body-mind-spirit are in biorhythms with the surroundings as well as the higher spirit of the nature. You can smell it, taste it, and live on it.
Annie listens to Nikhil Sir's words and in the end she goes toward the board, draws a chart of reflexes in relation to vertebrae. She asks - can you explain these bio-mechanics with Flo Joe's running? Sir, I mean it.
Nikhil admires her through silent gesture, his eyes glitters in joy, far from the chaos of the world he finds an assignment from the Universe. He uttered Hmm.

Chapter 4

Harmony is the word throttling Annie. She was thinking about a young girl from Germany Michel who is younger to her, and a doctor's speech she heard on web, the doctor is a neurosurgeon. Based on his talk, our biosignals are completely depends on the neural pathways, and we need to be able to activate those pathways. He also has put some light on activation of brain cells. Through continuous agitation it is possible. It means the repetition of same thing on various moment with various blockages. Listening to this Annie thought to share more with Nikhil Sir, but his reply was based on harmony.
The meaning of harmony is clear to Annie. The leaves the fruits the trees the sea the river and even the red rose which is her favourite flower has the harmony. What exactly Nikhil Sir said by harmony for an athlete!
In the evening while having food she recalls the soup the curry the chicken the salad, all these are plattered with harmony. Do we observe? How many of us? She thinks off her 100 meter timing - 10.66, closer to Indian standard. She looks at others faces, noisy clumsy and less confident except a few. Do they understand what Nikhil Sir want from them!
Her thoughts broke because of a hilarious sound from boys corner. The Table Tennis needs long endurance fitness and sustainable energy to play with same reflex for an hour at least. Her chat box is filled with unnecessary texts. Tonight she needs to clean.
- Hello
She turns back. It's Yaggi. She smiles back.
- Nikhil Sir is superb. What is your opinion?
She smiles back again and utters - yes but why?
There is a chance of shifting him from our center to National Team.
- Really! But he chose this place and we all are doing great.
- yes but the seniors are not doing well. And there are politics.
- who told you? Annie asked.
Yaggi whispers - dad. He is a senior member in Federation.
At night while going to bed Nikhil was pointing his charts mentally. Tomorrow is a next day, next morning, next practice session. His students are good and he wants them to be more better. His note book is seen on his bed where he writes - Bonus and Bio-degeneration. And on the other side Annie writes on her notepad - Neural pathways and activated mind.
With a sound six hour sleep Yaggi gets up to clean him. His mental state is to chill and watch and be happy. He has observed something on Annie and a sweet feeling on her within. He wants to talk more but don't want to disturb her harmony.

Chapter 5

Early morning practice session was dull. Somehow they wrapped up early. Nikhil was not in rhythm. His intuitive mind was speaking different. Expecting a call from Federation. His mail was not replied. They don't take much time to respond to his mail. Annie and Yaggie exchanged their thoughts after their skipping. Boys team had no clue about today's early departure and not the girls too about Nikhil Sir's behaviour. Actually Nikhil Sir had asked for a budget enhancement. He had sponsors for students. Puma had agreed to extend their hand. His report on Olympic Table Tennis team was not taken care off or couldnot be taken care off was the reply that had arrived and his transfer schedule was made from this unit to senior unit.
In the evening he shared with his boys and girls this fact. They didn't understand first. Later on when he uttered - a bunch of idiots are there, Yaggi started smiling and stared at Annie.
Annie was silent. She is from an influential family background. She didn't raise her voice but shared with her dad at night. Her dad only said - Okay.
She knows the meaning of this okay is different. All girls didn't arrive at the dinner. Even a few boys skipped. Is this a silent rebel?
God knows but the Federation is willing to use Nikhil for senior members. The rhythm that junior team had achieved went away. The result is definitely bad. Any negative impact on them can cause defragmentation of this unity.
Next morning a thin and lean girl objected first. Next, the whole team. Nikhil Sir seems to be unheard about this. He knows his duty is over.
- Sir we don't want you to be out of this place. Let the senior be here as well.
- Okay. Speak to the authority. Nikhil Sir replied.
Annie said - I spoke to my dad. Don't know if he can support us or not.
Yaggie more maturely said - I don't think Federation will listen to us.
All these talks were on whole day. No practice. No positive thoughts. Only gossip. They are under 15. The seniors are under 22. Nikhil has no clue about the reason of transfer.
At night they heard a different story. Table Tennis association is getting private and they are hiring a Chinese coach for junior team. They have a whole set of plan based on Nikhil's report.
The whole team was shocked to hear about this. Annie asked - if it is based on his report then why not he! Who that organization is? Why don't they want Nikhil Sir?
Annie's sleep broke up in midnight. She has a dream to be a winner, so she is scared. What if the Chinese coach don't understand us.
Yaggie is looking more witty and bantering all students about their gossips as Nikhil Sir laughed and disclosed on the next day - what is harmony? how to spread rumours? And finally he shared a small story - how to kill opponent.
The story is adopted from his own life. Once they had a friend who was cunning and the whole friend circle decided to teach him a lesson. They stopped talking to him and started ignoring. The friend remained indifferent and he regularly used to be there in the same place. He was understanding a conspiracy was on, but he ignored. He was aware about his intelligence and straight decisions. They misunderstood and with time it will go away. In a month or two the whole situation diluted and he remained the winner because of his uncompromising nature. He broke up a relationship and his friends were not happy. He believed on his instincts as he was sure - no relationship can sustain without transparency. You cannot lead your life with a liar. And the cunning person is standing in front of you. Any break up damages a lot. So be careful while falling on Love. This was the lesson - how to break harmony. Now sharing the report - go to bed and read at night.
