when were in college we had this so called rugby players and non Rugby players and other students who did other sports. generally the ones who played rugby were a bit high ended show offs with their body and would always bully. i was big built and would have easily played rugby but it never clicked me.
the rugby players would never study and thought that they can be successful in life. they would always brag that they can get sponsorships and get into a bank and .....etc.etc. even we believed it. they would date the best girls in schools because of there popularity. they would even insult us because we are ponnayas always with the books . the rugby kids would never be disciplined by even the head prefect because they were too popular.
time passed AL came....many of the guys who did cricket or swimming got good results went to Jpura or colombo . some even went overseas.
about a 10 years later whenever we met at college for events we can see these guys now really out of shape and having nothing much going on in life. while the so called ponnayas have done a lot either via education or business.
EGO kills thats all i can say.
some dont have jobs and they ended up as insurance agents in janashkthi or AIA...some went into underworld gangs. some were dumped by their girlfriends and that made them take drugs.
