Have you ever lost a game? A simple board game or a sport... questions writer Tina Khatri and shares her wisdom.
If you have not then, surely you have not played enough.
We all play games with the intention of winning and feeling the adrenaline rush that follows a win. It is rare to find someone who enjoys losing.
The scenario takes a shift as we grow and probably learn to find pleasure in everything. A simple experiment that we all can try is be sure of losing but do the task for its pleasure.
This sounds saintly and unrealistic. Now, look around and you will see this happening in every other household. Have you wondered why kids are closer to their grandparents than parents?
No, it is not because grandparents are like kids, not able to work, childish and all the great wisdom you have heard. Grandparents or people generally take their entire life in learning to celebrate the game instead of results.
Try it as an experiment. Play a game of ludo with a surety that you will lose. Still, is it possible for you to enjoy the game?
Start from there and you will find your true self and a box full of pleasure.
