Forgotten game – 200 years to World cup

I heard someone saying when I was watching 2002 FIFA , that India will take Another 200 years to qualify to play in FIFA WC…
We should not blame the sports authority, we should blame ourselves.. Everyone goes to school and 10th std exam is very important and no sports and no cable tv connection…Study and study and get good marks in 10th exam…11th std came and it was whole new mathematics where I had to learn Differentiation, Integration and Matrix, 12th std came and it was my life to enter into a professional course as I have to lose the cable tv connection again and study and study … exams came and went…holidays?? No, I have to read for the entrance examination , exams came and went by and got a seat in an Engineering college and was there for 4 years , there by reaching 21 years of age, meanwhile Messi was 20 and he is a world known star…..
In this schedule I had saved sometime and went for Football coaching, I was routed to take athletics training first when I was studying 9th std….7 months went by and 10th std came….School told, no sports hour….Discontinue Athletics and read for Chemistry Practical examination and complete the observation and Record in time….10th std went and 11th came.. Managed sometime to play football……While playing football, got a message from Physics Teacher , that my calculations were wrong in that particular experiment…Dropped the game and went to the Lab…
College came, seniors never allowed me to play, went to second year and played some football and third year came and I had 4 practical examinations, HOD told me to study for unit test and drop the game…4th year came, they told me to do the Academic Project good , so I will get 195 marks out of 200 which will boost my percentage…So project…..
What now? I am 21 and lost my speed, accuracy in goal shooting…..
How I will play football freely?
Not only me, this is the scenario of whole India..
Indian youth are studying and they don’t have time to play football..
Who knows, captain of India Cricket Team M S Dhoni, doesn’t have an educational degree? But, everyone cannot become like MS Dhoni or everyone cannot feature in playing 11 of team India !!!
