The Greatest And Most Social Sport In The World: Pickleball
What is Pickleball? Pickleball is a fun sport that incorporates various elements from other racquet sports like tennis, badminton and ping-ping (aka table tennis). Pickleball is played both indoors and outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly adapted tennis net. Just like ping-pong, pickleball is played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes; the balls are bigger than ping-pong balls. Ping-pong balls do not have holes but are made from plastic. Pickleball can accommodate one or more players, just like in other sports like soccer, basketball and bowling.

Imprisoned
Imprisoned in my own spacious, vibrant and cotton-candy colored apartment room. Unable to feel the freshness of nature and touch the wind with my nose and face. I’m longing to hug my family, embrace my beloved friends, fly freely as an eagle, and become an “unmasked” woman. I crave the sound of people, the calmness of the library, the cool touch of nature, and the joys of liberation. Lockdown is like prison, in your home instead of a dark and ominous reformatory.

I Was Not A Rotten Piece Of Fruit . Top Story - March 2021.
I was not a piece of rotten fruit that was meant to be thrown in the trash. I was only a tiny seed that needed time for her to be reproduced. I'm a living thing, not a mechanical robot. I was made to trip and fall, not to remember computer codes off by heart. Flowers need time to shine and become breathing figures. Robots are fast as race cars that don't need constant care. I was not a piece of rotten fruit that was meant to be stepped on and squashed. I was just a dwarf flower that took time for her to bloom, breathe, smile and shine.
