Playing billiards for 6 hours after more than a year
The day after yesterday’s blog, I didn’t expect to go and play billiards. But that’s what exactly happened.
I ended up playing for 6 continuous hours. It felt as good as thought it would. I was surprised to see I didn’t lose much of the skill I had. It felt great to be back at the board.
Just like billiards, a lot of the things in our lives are muscle memory. It stays in our minds moreover. We just need to access it and it comes back. That’s what happened when I started playing yesterday. The last time I played was more than a year ago. It would have been more logical for me to have forgotten many of the skills I had. But as soon as I started playing, it all came back. It didn’t even take one game. It just took a few shots.
The funny thing is I put more time and effort into studying a lot of the subjects at school. But if you tell me to recall them, I can’t. But billiards is something I can still come back to.
