A weekend without any sporting activity is really boring. The current situation in the country and different parts of the world has made our sweet weekends to appear like any other normal days. Corona!Corona! namely the civid 19 disease has turn ways of doing things more different ; keeping social distance , avoiding crowd and staying home is the current anthem. Nowadays a weekends is not the weekend we use to have in previous months before the outbreak of this scary disease brought by the Corona virus. In those days weekend marks the special day in everyone calendar. Friday being the last day to weekend was the greatest day, every single individual face shines with a smile,many break earlier to their homes from there working places in the name of ushering in of weekend.
